Blissful Eternity LB

29-119R – Reynn LB

Well, it’s not bad.

Reynn will grab a WoFF Character from the top 5 cards of your deck.

And, then when you’re done with that, you can use her second ability to Play A WoFF Character of 3CP or less from your hand onto the field.

Yep, that’s it.

You can pretty much use Reynn to recycle into Emissaries Reynn. But, that’s up to you.

 

29-120R – Seymour LB

Ok, so Seymour enters the field, and you break one of your Summoners. Now I looked to see if any of these Summoners have an ability that triggers when they are put into the Break Zone, but I found nothing.

So, you’re paying 7CP to break your own Summoner?!?

Yes, that is correct. But, you do get to Break one of your opponent’s dull Forwards and they will also discard a card.

If that’s worth 7CP to you, then I suggest you use this Limit Break, if not, then well you can always just leave it in your LB deck to pay for other LB cards.

 

29-121R – Wind Drake LB

Ok, here’s a way to get a card back to your hand from the Break Zone.

Wind Drake, comes on in and removes a card from your Break Zone. And, when Wind Drake leaves the field, you’ll put that Character in your hand.

This is a pretty decent card, Wind Drake can protect a Character in your Break Zone, from your opponent. I’d say keep a Wind Drake in your deck, and if you see your opponent is using a card that removes cards from your Break Zone. Use Wind Drake to protect at least one Character.

 

 

29-122R – Mika LB

Manipulating your opponent’s Forwards?

Sounds about right.

Mika will force one of your opponent’s Forwards to block this turn. So, if you have Forward that has more power than the other Forward, you’re good to go.

If not, then you just wasted a play.

Used in the right situation, this card can be a good one-two punch.

 

29-123R – Jack Garland LB

Nothing to see here.

Jack Garland is just a Forward sitting on the bench.

Sure, there could be a chance that you’ll need a Forward to play, and it is good to have one available at all times.

Now, if your opponent controls a Monster Jack gains Haste.

Also, Jack cannot be blocked by a Monster, that is a Forward, that is also a Monster, who pretends to be a Forward.

 

29-124R – Auron LB

Simple and straight forward.

This card will go great with Tidus, as a Guardian, he will not fail to block your opponent’s attack, after Tidus has gone all out, but miscalculated. And, now your opponent has a few Forwards ready to attack.

But, not so fast. Auron is here, and since Tidus is already on the field, or another Final Fantasy X Forward, Auraon will gain +2000 power and Brave. Meaning that Auron will give you one more shot at ending the game with Tidus.

And, why isn’t Auron’s hand in a sling?

29-058R – Ardyn

Why does Ardyn look like a puppet? A bad one at that.

Ardyn acts as a Meat Shield. One that will attack as well.

First off, Ardyn has Brave, Ardyn cannot become dull by Summons or abilities, and when Ardyn enters the field, Ardyn Cannot be broken until the end of your opponent’s turn.

6CP might be a lot to pay to have Ardyn enter the field, but he sure will stick around long enough to get your money’s worth.

 

29-059H – Ash

Why does Ash remind me of Eddy Gordo?

Ash is bringing Monks to the forefront.

Why? Because when Ash or a monk enters the field, you can choose one of your Forwards and give them +2000 power and Brave.

And, that’s not all.

When Ash enters the field you can search for a Monk, and if you have another SOPFFO Character on the field you can play a Monk onto the field (3CP or less).

And, what does that tell you?

Ash is a free play!

29-060C – Ignis

Why not?

A chance to grab a Final Fantasy XV Character out of the top 5 cards of your deck. If you miss, well at least you have a 7K Meat Shield to stick around on the board.

4CP isn’t bad, and Ignis does have Sagefire, which will break a dull Forward.

No wonder Noctis kept him around all this time.

 

 

29-061L – Vincent

From the looks of it, I am liking this card.

Vincent comes on in and can grab a Final Fantasy VII card from the top 2 cards of your deck. If there are none, then those 2 cards go into your Break Zone.

But, that’s not the reason you’ll play Vincent. You will want to play Vincent for his ability that goes off at the beginning of your Attack Phase.

You can either give Vincent +3000 power and Brave, or you can deal a Forward 6000 damage, possibly breaking it.

I’d personally go for the first option.

29-062R – Wol

OK, this is an upgrade from Opus V Miner.

Wol Comes on in and plays a Backup of 2 or less from your Break Zone onto the field.

And that is a good enough reason to play this card. But, that is not all.

Once per turn Wol can pay a Crystal and he’ll grab a Character from your Break Zone to add to your hand. You can do this once per turn as well. All you need is a Crystal Generator, and you will be set for the whole game.

Let’s not forget that Wol is also a Forward, meaning that not only is he a recycling machine, he can also deal damage.

 

29-063R – Exdeath

MWAHAHAHAHA! (That’s me trying to type an evil laugh.)

This is great.

For 4 CP, you can play a Forward that has no way of being broken by Summon or abilities. The only way to get him off the field is by blocking his attack, with a higher powered Forward.

Either that or finding a way to remove him from the game.

But, that’s what Exdeath wants you to do.

Why?

Because once Exdeath is removed from the game, you will search for Neo Exdeath. And, we all know what Neo Exdeath does.

29-064C – Gargoyle

Our 1 cost Earth Monster is here, and it acts like a shield.

Gargoyle will give a quick block for one of your Forwards. Gargoyle will take 4000 damage off of the attack, and will then be on it’s way to the Break Zone.

But, do not worry. You’ll get to draw a card for your loss.

 

 

 

29-065C – Galuf EX

Simple, but effective.

Galuf comes in grabs a Character from your Break Zone, and then acts like a Meat shield. A Meat Shield with 8000 power. He’ll block your opponent’s attacks left and right until he is broken.

After that, you can just play another Galuf.

It might be time to give Opus V Miner the night off.

 

 

29-066C – Gladiolus

The brawn of the Retainers.

And, it does make sense that Gladiolus has 9000 power. But that cost can be a bit high if you ask me. 5CP would have been more reasonable.

Gladiolus comes in with Brave, and once per turn he can give a Final Fantasy XV Character +2000 power.

Might have been better off as a Backup.

 

 

29-067C – Krile

This is a great card for your Warrior of Light. Play a 6 cost Galuf from your hand onto the field? Yes, please!

Although we still haven’t seen this 6CP Galuf, and I am excited to see it. Don’t ask me why.

And if you don’t have a Galuf, you can always play a Earth Forward that costs 4CP or less instead.

At 2CP, I’ll be putting Krile in any Earth deck. Just because I can.

 

 

29-068L – Titan (XVI)

Titan has a face only a mother (and Hugo) can love.

But this is just a menacing card. Your opponent will be looking to get rid of Titan as fast as possible.

For one, when Titan is on the field,during your turn, your opponent’s Backups are just for show. They can’t produce CP, so they’re just sitting there watching Titan steal their bikes.

But, we’re not done. Cause as soon as Hugo Primes into Titan, you choose 3 of your opponent’s Forwards, and as soon as your Attack Phase starts, each Forward has to pay 1CP or they will be sent to the Break Zone. And, since we can’t use Backups to pay for this, your opponent will be discarding cards from their hand to keep these Forwards alive.

And, we’re not even done her.

Geocrush, the Titan Special. Put it on the menu, because Backups will start dropping like flies here.

29-069C – Dhorgorgang

A 6 cost Backup that can grab you two Forwards.

Nothing wrong with that as it will bring Dhorgorgang’s cost down to 2 CP.

Sure, you can’t search for the Forwards, but any Forwards will be good if you don’t have any on your front lines.

It wouldn’t hurt having one of these in your deck.

 

 

29-070R – Dragon Zombie

Here’s something that can halt your opponent for a turn.

Dragon Zombie comes in and chooses 3 Forwards that can’t attack or block until your opponent’s next turn. Meaning that they have no way to respond to your attacks, or attack you. Which is good, especially if they only have 3 Forwards on the field.

Other than that, this 3 cost Monster, will become a Forward when you have 5 Backups on the field.

That means that Dragon Zombie can be sent to the Break Zone, and you can play another one.

 

29-071R – Hugo

A 3 cost Forward that can’t be broken by most Summon or abilities. This is the definition of a Meat Shield. I mean just look at him, he’ll cover you like no tomorrow.

But, that’s not the reason you’ll play Hugo.

You’re playing Hugo, just to Prime into Titan, and we all know what happens after that.

If you’re playing Earth, throw Hugo/Titan into the mix.

 

 

29-072C/15-080C – Geomancer

Where’s Cecil?

“Geomancer here comes in gives you a Crystal, that you can use to play Cecil. After that, Geomancer dulls and heads over to the Break Zone, and gives Cecil Brave on the way out.”

I can’t remember why I wrote that back in Crystal Dominion.

Must have had a good reason.

 

 

29-073C – Beastmaster

Here’s your Monster recycler.

Beastmaster comes right in and grabs a Monster from your Break Zone.

And, that is it.

You can play 3 at once, grabbing 3 Monsters from your Break Zone.

After that, just a normal attacker in sheep’s clothing.

A male sheep.

A ram.

Just not as powerful as a ram.

29-074H – Moogle Trio

2000 damage for each Forward you control.

And, for 1CP, and this also comes off of an EX Burst?

That’s crazy, throw it in a Swarm deck like, I don’t know maybe Chocobos. and you’ll be getting rid of Forwards like a … I can’t think of anything right now, but you get what I’m trying to say.

Throw this in your deck, you’ll be glad you did.

 

 

29-075H – Yoran-Oran

Well, well well..

I can see it clearly now the Mage …

Mages will become a top tier tribal deck, that will easily take on Dragoons and Samurais. Not to mention Chocobos and whatever other Tribal deck you want to throw at them.

Why would I say that? Just take a look at Yoran-Oran’s first ability. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

You see? Any ability that is cast by a Mage cannot be canceled. CAN NOT!

Then you’ll say, that Yoran-Oran cost 7CP. So, what! YOu can play a Mage Forward that costs 5CP on to the field. And, you don’t even need to have that Mage in your hand. You can search for it.

So, search for Shantotto, and let the games begin.

29-076H – Roche

Roche is back. And he looks better than ever.

But, what does he do?

For 2CP, Roche comes in and nothing. His ability activates when he attacks. Where he trades damage with one of your opponent’s Forwards. But, at 6000 power, that’s not a lot to go on.

Luckily, you can Remove a Roche from the Break Zone, and give Roche 9000 power. Making him the muscle you need for that ability. Roche will then go Berserk, and he will attack every turn whether you like it or not.

Groundbreaking Singles!

Dreamlike Limit Break

28-119R – Serah LB

Fire and Ice.

Serah comes on in and depending on how many Fire and Ice Characters you have on the field, will determine what she does.
IF you have 3 Fire Characters, Serah will deal a Forward 5000 damage.

If you have 3 Ice Characters, Serah will have your opponent discard a card.

And, if you have 3 and 3 then both of these abilities will go off.

Not bad, but I always feel like these Limit Breaks should be more like a Limit Break.

.

28-120R – Ritz LB

How bad do you need that Crystal?

If you need it right away this is the Limit Break for you.

The cost for it is a bit high, when there are plenty of other cards that will get you a Crystal for much cheaper. The only difference is that Ritz is ready to go when you need her.

.

.

28-121R – Gilgamesh LB

Gilgamesh is here.

Again. And, there’s nothing wrong with that, because we all like Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh is a your body ready to attack, ready to block, and he won’t take much damage for Gilgamesh has First Strike.

This is a usable Limit Break to have, just in case you need to throw in a big body.

.

28-122R – Rufus LB

Rufus comes on in, and if you pay the extra cost of 1 Earth CP and 1 Lightning CP, you can play a Final Fantasy VII Forward from your Break Zone onto the field.

Yes, please and thank you.

Not much else to say. Sure, the cost is a bit high, 7CP total, but you also need to take into account that you can play Rufus, whenever you’d like. You don’t need to hope you’ll draw him during the turn that you need him, because he is sitting there in your Limit Break deck ready to go.

.

28-123R – Ashe LB

Might as well just play Ashe from the very start.

You’ll pay 6CP up front, but after that, most of your MBM characters will cost 1CP, but only at the beginning of your Attack Phase.

Let’s not forget that Ashe will look at the top 5 cards of your deck when she enters the field, and then you will select a MBM Character and add it to your hand.

If all goes as planned, Ashe will have paid for herself in two turns.

.

28-124R – Bahamut LB

I don’t know, 9CP is a lot.

And, what do you get in return, maybe a broken Forward and a Meat Shield.

Well you’ll get a body on the field, but other than that, I’d leave this one at home.

Hidden Legends of Fire

24-001L – Ifrit (XVI)

Coming in with Haste, Ifrit is ready to deal plenty of damage. You can play Ifrit straight to the field for 7CP or you can Prime Clive into Ifrit for 2CP. But, you’d have to have Clive on the field to do that.

And, we’re not talking about Clive, we’re talking about Ifrit.

And when he does come in, you’re dealing 10K to one of your opponent’s Forwards. If Ifrit deals damage to your opponent, Ifrit will deal another 10K to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Spitflare?

Deals 10K damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Whatever happens Ifrit will be dealing 10K damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

24-002C – Warrior of Light EX

At 3CP Warrior of Light comes in with an EX Burst. And, when it goes off Warrior of Light deals a Forward 5000 damage.

But, where are you at in the game?

Have you seen Bahamut?

Did you find the Rat Tail?

Do you have the power of the Crystals?

If you do, then Warrior of Light deals a Forward 8000 damage.

And, that’s about it. Simple and gives you a reason to produce Crystals.

Well, not really.

24-003H – Cyan

Am I reading this correct?

Cyan enters the field, and you can play a Final Fantasy VI character from your hand onto the field?

Sure it has to be 3CP or less, but you’re getting 2 cards on the field for 4CP. and if you play Gestahlian Empire Cid, you’ll also grab a FFVI Character from your deck, making Cyan’s total cost a whopping +1CP. That’s what it comes out to if you do the math.

Not only that, but Cyan also acts as protection from your opponent’s abilities. Yes, it only works for FFVI Characters, but if you’re playing Cyan you’re playing a VI deck. If you’re not, then you’re not playing Cyan.

Bushido Tempest?

How many cards can you fir into your Break Zone? That’s how much damage Cyan will deal to a Forward.

We also get a beautiful Full Art here.

24-004R – Deadly Nightshade

Looks more like a tomato.

1CP and you got your finger on the trigger. Ready to shoot, whenever one of your Forwards attack.

If you decide to pull that trigger, you’ll put Deadly nightshade into the Break Zone, and deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 7000 damage.

Might be a good way to get rid of a blocker that has more power than your attacking Forward. If not, you can always deal damage to one of your opponent’s other Forwards. 2 birds with 1 tomato.

And, now I’m hungry.

24-005L – Clive

Coming in with Haste, Clive is set to Prime.

As, we don’t know exactly what Priming is yet, we will wait until we write about it. But, I might forget to change this when the set comes out.

Clive gives all the Eikons and Dominants +1000 power, this includes himself.

And, when he deals damage to your opponent, you’ll discard your hand and draw 2 cards.

This is great for when you don’t have any cards in your hand.

24-006C – Clive

Coming in at 2CP with 5000 power, Clive becomes a powerhouse, if another Dominant or an Eikon is removed from the game. Making Clive a 9K Forward with Brave.

You can also use Clive’s ability to deal 5000 damage to a Forward.

That’s about it.

You can do far worse for 2CP.

 

24-007C – Black Mage

2CP and the ability isn’t that bad.

Black Mage can deal 5K damage to one a Forward but, you can only use his ability when a Fire Forward enters the field.
Not the best ability, but low cost and being able to remove Black Mage from the field, all while dealing damage to your opponent, making way for a better Backup to enter your field.

Might be worth playing if you can get Black Mage in early.

 

 

24-008C – Salamander (XII RW) EX

This Salamander looks more like a flying pig. That’s on Fire! Why are all these cards looking like food today. Add some Bacon to that tomato from earlier and now all we need is Lettuce.

But, that’s a conversation for a different time.

Salamander is Summoned and it deals 7000 damage to one Forward, and if you have 5 Backups on the field, 5000 damage to another Forward.

Not bad for 3CP, and an EX Burst on top of that.

Now where are we going to find that Lettuce?

24-009R – Joshua

Now that we’ve seen Joshua, it does not matter if you prime into Phoenix or just play Phoenix outright, if we’re just talking about cost.

(Yes, we wrote about Phoenix first, and we’re not going to edit it, because these are all first impressions.)

With that being said, Joshua is still a good card to play, as you can grab an Eikon or a Dominant from the Break Zone and put it back into your deck.

For 1CP this is a good play. Only downside would be the 3000 power that Joshua has, but, you’ll be Priming into Phoenix as soon as you can, because the only reason you’d be playing Joshua would be to grab that Eikon or Dominant from your Break Zone.

24-010C – Cetia

New Job? I can’t remember Cetia from War of the Visions, but then again, I haven’t played it in over a year. Did the story get better?

Cetia is your 4CP/8K body that is in every set.

If the cost is too high for you, you can always pay 2CP of any element and a Crystal.

You already know that there are going to be more Warriors of the Crystal, by Cetia’s ability to deal a Forward 4000 damage for each Warrior of the Crystal that you have on the field.

What I like is that if you’re paying using a Crystal, you can splash Cetia into any color deck that you’d like.

24-011H – Takatsugu

9CP?

He even looks mad, because his cost is so high.

Well, when Takatsugu enters the field you can search for 2, 2 cost Fire Forwards and you can play them straight to the field.
This might be a decent way to get bodies on the field.

Let’s take a look at his second ability. Which reads when another Forward enters your field, deal 2K damage to a Forward.
And those 2 Forwards come in to play, when Takatsugu enters the field.

So, you get 2 Fire Forwards and deal 2000 damage to 2 Forwards when Takatsugu comes in.

That might be worth 9CP.

It might not be worth 9CP.

It all depends on if you think it’s worth 9CP.

24-012C – Human

Do you have a way to get rid of Backups?

Do you have 4 Fire Backups on the field?

If so, then Human is the right card for you.

Human comes in and allows you to draw a card. And, if you have 4 Fire Backups on the field, Human deals a Forward 7000 damage.

And, that’s about it.

Standard Human Soldier.

Not even a Universal Soldier.

24-013R – Neon

Neon comes in and deals 5K damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

5CP is a little bit high, but you get a Crystal.

And, you can use that Crystal right away and deal a Forward 5Kdamage as well.

If you choose the same Forward you’re more than likely to break it.

If not, you can choose another Forward and maybe, you’ll break 2 Forwards in one turn.

Is that the best way to spend 6CP and a Crystal?

Probably not, but it has it’s uses.

And, let’s not get started on the art.

24-014H – Bahamut

2 options.

One is more powerful than the other, but that power comes in at a high cost. And, we’re not just talking about the 5CP you’ll pay to cast Bahamut.

Option A, choose a Forward deal it 20,000 damage. I’m pretty sure nothing will survive that. Unless you’re able to buff one of your Forwards pass the 20K mark, you will have a broken Forward on your hands.

And, Option B, deal 10,000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. This will more than likely break all of your opponent’s Forwards. And it better, because you will be left with just 3 cards in your deck.

Bahamut would be a great end game play.

24-015C – Bahamut EX

A Bahamut Forward?

Of course it’s going to have a high cost. You think they would have let you play Bahamut for cheap. Nope and never.

Bahamut comes in and basically casts Mega Flare on one of your opponent’s Forwards. And, when that Forward is sent to the Break Zone, you will deal your opponent 1 point of damage.

And that is how you you will gain an easy advantage.

Why easy?

Bahamut will be able to attack freely, without worrying about a Forward blocking him, because when they do block and are sent to the Break Zone, you will still deal a point of damage to your opponent.

How can we give Bahamut Brave?

24-016R – Phoenix (XVI)

How is this a Rare?

Every time Phoenix attacks you can grab a Fire Forward of 2CP or less from the Break Zone, and play it onto the field
You don’t even need Joshua to say that you’ll be playing this card. I haven’t seen the Joshua card yet, but I can say you don’t need it. Sure, you can play it, and Prime into Phoenix, but Phoenix is playable all by itself.

I’m already thinking Fire Warriors, and a whole bunch of 2 cost Standard Units alongside Maria (17-128L).

We’ll call it Mono-Fire Standard Unit Warrior and Co.

24-017C – Firion

Firion the Tambourine man is here.

I’m liking these new Theatrhythm cards, each Character is carrying an instrument … Maybe we can get a band going. We’ll start off with covers … I’m getting ahead of myself.

3CP, Firion can gain either First Strike or Brave during every Attack Phase.

Either way, Firion will have 8000 power to attack and block.

Maybe, just maybe we’ll get a Theatrhythm deck going.

24-018R – Josef

Search and Play.

Perfect way to get a 2 cost Rebel on the field. And, I’m thinking of Maria 17-128L, which is a very under rated card if you ask me. But, you’re not and we’re talking about Josef.

Josef is a Backup, costs 5CP, and when you have no more use for him or you need to free up space, you can use his ability and send him to the Break Zone, while you’re also giving a Rebel Forward +2000 power.

Not too shabby.

Hidden Trial – By Water

Shop these Singles and More at our TCG Player Store!

23-096C – Akpallu

Pay 1CP to draw a card.

Not bad, at all. If you don’t have anything going on in your hand, might as well play Akpallu to draw another card.

And after Akpallu is on the field, not doing anything, just sitting there, you can then use Akpallu to pay the cost for Fencer (XIII)’s ability and Break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

There are more cards that need another Monster to pay for the cost to use their ability.

I’d say Akpallu is a decent card.

23-097C – Altennia

A simple add-on to your Knight deck.

When a Knight attacks, Altennia gives a Forward +2000 power. Now what will happen when all of your Knights attack? You’ll be handing out +2000 power like candy on Halloween.

It’s like adding 200 horse power to your Knight engine.

 

 

 

23-098C – Alphinaud

Alphinaud is Alisae’s Backup, who will save her from the Break Zone in order to do whatever Alisaie has to do.

If we take Alisaie from Hidden Trials, it’s a pretty decent combo.

Once you have an Alisaie in your Break Zone, you’ll use Alphianaud’s ability and play Alisaie onto the field. Once Alisaie is on the field you can search for a card that has the same name as one of the cards in your Break Zone, and add it to your hand.

Yeah, that’s pretty much it.

Not bad.

23-099C – Urianger

Urianger is already flipping the cards to see what Scions he can find.

I mean yes, .. maybe . . not really.

Depends on what you’re playing.

You can pull this out if you’re drafting Hidden Trials and you’re trying to run Scions.

Other than that, there are far better Uriangers out there.

 

 

23-100L – Young Excenmille

Coming in with 5000 power, Young Excenmille surely loves his Crystals.

You’ll need a constant supply of Crystals to keep Young Excenmille well fed.

Feed him once and he cannot be chosen by your opponents abilities, and his Power will become 9000 until he is sent to the Break Zone.

Feed him once more along with a Water CP, and you can search for a Water Forward of cost 3 or less, and play them straight to the field.

I like it.

23-101C – Dancer

Last Chance to Dance.

Dancer, just like the rest of the Elemental, Class Action, 5 Backup plan, Backups is better played when Dancer is the 5th Backup that enters your field.

When he does, as the 5th Backup on your field, all of your opponent’s Forwards lose 4000 power.

You might break a couple if you’re lucky.

If not, Dancer just chooses one of your opponent’s Forwards, and they lose 2000 power.

23-102R – Gizamaluke

A Monster, the sort of searches for a Monster.

Gizamaluke, comes in and you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck, and grab a Monster, if you find one there. If you do, you just got a Gizamaluke for Free.

Gizamaluke also turns into a Forward if you have another Monster on the field. Technically you can get a 0CP Forward with an 8K body.

 

 

 

23-103C – Quina

My Bombs will get that much stronger.

Because once per turn, whenever a Monster enters the field, I get to draw a card. Doesn’t matter whose turn it is. If a Monster enters the field you get to draw 1 card.

And let’s not forget about the Frog Drop. (Just don’t catch them all, cause then they can’t reproduce and you won’t be able to get 99 frogs.) Once Frog Drop goes off, 1 Forward will lose 3000 power for each Monster that is on the board.

How many Quina’s can you fit in your deck?

23-104H – Witch of the Fens

Here’s a decent card for your Monster deck.

Witch of the Fens comes in, and if you already have a Monster on the field, you can draw a card.

And, let’s not forget about that ability.

Put a Monster in the Break Zone, and one of your opponent’s Forwards will lose 7000 power until the end of the turn.

How many Monsters do you have in that hand of yours?

23-105C – Defender

What there’s no Water SOLDIER Candidate? All we get is a cheap knockoff? And, I was looking forward to making a 6 elemental SOLDIER Candidate deck. Guess I can’t do that now.

*shrugs

Defender can probably be played on his own. No need for the other SOLDIER Candidates. (But, the other ones could be played in their respective element as well.) As before, if you have at least 2 Standard Units in your Break Zone, SOLDI.. . I mean Defender gains +3000 power.

2CP/8K, the true definition of a cheap Meat Shield. And, we mean that in a good way.

Meat Shield here, also does not receive any damage that is less than it’s power. He’ll take a beating and you still won’t be able to get rid of him.

23-106H – Tataru

Tataru pays for Tataru during your next turn.

As long as you have another 3 Scions of the Seventh Dawn on the field, you’ll be able to dull Tataru for an extra card.

And, that is pretty much it. Don’t like your hand? Dull Tataru and hope for the best.

 

 

 

 

23-107L – Frimelda

Frimelda should just get thrown in your Warrior of Light deck.

It’s as simple as that, and if I needed to tell you that, well … You’re Welcome.

This card is pretty straight “Forward”. (No, that just came out, i didn’t think of that.)

You’ll need at least 4 different elements on the field in order to make use of Frimelda. Water can be the 4th element you play when she comes in, and her ability will go off as soon as you enter your Attack Phase. It will also trigger when your opponent goes into their Attack Phase as well.

Double Trouble.

You can either play a Forward that costs 4CP or less onto the field, or you can have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 2000 power for each element that is on your board.

Choice is yours, bulk up your defenses, or get rid of theirs.

23-108R – Fourchenault

Who would have thunk that Fourchenault would cost Four CP? And, if you have Alisaie and Alphinaud on the field Fourchenault is a Free Play!

Fourchenault’s Enter the Field abilities are great and decent. One is better than the other, but the other has it’s use as well.

First one, return one of your opponent’s Forwards to their hand. Which is good, getting rid of a Forward, even if temporarily is always good. As long as they don’t have an enter the field ability.

The other is Activate a Scion of the Seventh Dawn.

And, when all is said and done, you’ll have an 8K body on the board.

23-109C – Portia

The more I see new Dancers the more I ponder the idea of making a deck. Yes, let’s add one more to the list of decks that I will never make.

For a Common, Portia is a great card. First of all she pays for herself, as if you already have a couple Dancers on the field, you will draw a card. You’ll have a no cost 5K body on the field ready to go to work.

And if you have 4 Dancers on the field, You’ll be able to send one of your opponent’s Forward to the bottom of their deck.

Let’s make Mayakov proud.

23-110R – Porom

Porom, the other half of the twin mages.

Same thing here, Porom is a free play if you have Palom already on the field.

And, just like Porom she comes in with 5000 power.

When Porom comes in you can place 2 EXP Counters on a Forward, and that Forward gains a shield of sorts. Damage dealt to that Forward will be reduced by 2000.

You’ll be able to splash one or the other of these twins, as there is no cost to pay, if the other is on the field.

2-111C/15-123C – Oracle

It’s straight from the (Re)printers!

And, a Copy/Paste from Dawn of Heroes.

“Didn’t we say recycling center earlier? Maybe we meant the Printers, reprinting cards and such.

Not that I have anything against reprints, I just would rather have a new card that does something similar instead of having reprints.

Anyways, Oracle gives you a Crystal when she comes in, and reduces the next damage dealt to a Forward by 1000.”

2-112H – Young Rahal

Rahal! Where are those Crystals!? Young Excenmille is hungry for those Crystals.

And, that is his job. Feed Yound Excenmille to bring out more Water Forwards onto the field.

How is Younf Rahal going to feed Young Exenmille? You gain 2 Crystals when he enters the field.

And that’s not all. When Young Rahal enters the field or attacks, all your Water Forwards gain +2000 power.

Combine this with Palom and Porom, and you have a decent front line, for almost half the cost.

23-113R – Leviathan

Finally, there is a way to get the one card you needed that ended up in the Damage Zone.

Not only that, but Leviathan let’s you draw a card as well. Only downside would be that you have to return another card back to the Damage Zone, but you probably have a card you don’t need in your hand.

This is one of the better cards in this set.

Leviathan is your insurance policy.

 

23-114R – Lilisette

“A live wire, barely a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She’s on fire, ’cause dancin’ gets her higher
Than anything else she knows”

David Lee Roth, might have been singing about Lilisette, and I wouldn’t blame him.

Lilisette comes in and searches for a Dancer, cause well, it takes 2 to Tango. And, that also comes off as an EX Burst.

Other than that, you have Rousing Samba. An ability that gives all of your Forwards +2000 power, and all of your opponent’s Forwards lose 2000 power, tilting the dance floor in your favor. At least until the end of the turn.

But, that turn can be a Break or Make moment.

The only thing that I would change with this card is the art.

Cool Singles?
