28-020C – Blue Mage

This is a card that we haven’t had something similar in a long time.

Blue Mage gives you a chance to take a peak at your opponent’s hand. Not only that, but you get to choose a card from their hand and send it to the Break Zone.

For 2CP this is a great card to play in any Ice deck.

The only drawback would be that you need 5 Backups to be able to use Blue Mage’s ability. And, since you’re also sending Blue Mage to the Break Zone for this ability, you will now have more room for another Backup.

28-021R – Eald’narche

Discard, Dull and Freeze.

Eald’narche does it all. All at the same time.

Whenever your opponent discards a card, you get to Dull/Freeze one of your opponent’s Characters.

Also if by any chance KAm’lanaut enters the field, Eald’narche can pay a Crystal, and your opponent will discard a couple of cards, meaning that Eald’narche will Dull/Freeze a Character.

Just Rinse and Repeat.

28-022L – Kadaj

How many Remnants can you remove from the game?

Kadaj comes in and you will take one Remnant in your Break Zone and remove it from the game. Now all you got to do is find a way to remove another Remnant from the game.

Why?

Because, if you have 2 Remnants removed from the game, at the end of every turn of yours, your opponent will discard 2 cards.

Talk about Turbo Discard. Kadaj will give you a head start.

And, for the price of a Crystal, you can send a dull Forward to their owner’s hand. Luckily you’ll get 2 Crystals when Kadaj enters the field.

28-023C – Kam’lanaut

Here we go, do you see the Combo and how it works. We’ll explain later.

First off let’s see what Kam’lanaut does.

When he enters the field, Kam’lanaut will Dull/Freeze one of your opponent’s Forwards. You’ll gain a Crystal as well.

Glacier Blade, will break a dull Forward, and you’ll gain another Crystal with it.

So, what’s the Combo?

Eald’narche is already on the field. You play Kam’lanaut and you’ll Dull/Freeze a Forward. and gain a Crystal. You’ll then use that Crystal to have your opponent Discard 2 cards. Once those 2 cards are discarded Eald’narche will Dull/Freeze a Character.

You see, Discard 2 + Dull/Freeze 2 = A great play.

28-024R – Gil Snapper

More Moogle Bounty Mayhem.

These cards look like they’ll cause some Mayhem to your opponent.

As long as Gil Snapper is on the field, all damage dealt to your Forwards 2CP or less, will have their damage reduced by 2000. That could be more than enough to keep them on the field.

Gil Snapper also becomes a Forward with 6000 power, and his first ability does reduce the damage that Gil Snapper takes as well.

You can probably throw Gil Snapper into any deck. Even if he’s not in an Ice deck, I’m sure you’ll find ways to bring him out.

28-025C – Kuja

Kuja is ready to sabotage your opponent. At least for this turn.

Kuja comes right on in and Dull/Freezes 3 of your opponent’s Forwards.

6CP.

And, you will play this card with a smile on your face.

And, you will smile when your opponent can not do anything to block your attacks.

 

28-026C – Clavat

I know I just saw this card.

This comfirms our generic common, that is the same through out all the elements in this set.

We’ll keep it short, or I can just Copy/Paste

“Here we go, a Crystal Generator.

One when Clavat comes in, and one when you use the ability to send her to the Break Zone.

Simple.

Easy to understand.

Not much else going on here.”

28-027C – The Emperor

The Emperor comes in and a dull Forward goes out.

Not only do you send a Dull Forward back to your opponent’s hand, but they will also discard a card from their hand as well.
And that’s about it.

5CP, 8000 power. And after he enters the field, The Emperor becomes a Meat Shield.

And, there’s nothing wrong with that.

 

28-028H – Shiva

A Hero Summon for 2 CP, can’t go wrong with that, even if you do pay the extra cost of a Crystal.

Shiva allows you to choose 2 of her two abilities. Yes, you pay the Crystal if you choose both.

1) Break a damaged Forward.

2) Dull one of your opponent’s Forwards, and your opponent discards a card.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

28-029C – Shantotto

You can’t lose with Shantotto.

For 3CP, Shantotto enters the field and you reveal the top card of your deck.

If it’s and Ice card, your opponent discards a card.

If, it’s any other element, you’ll draw a card.

And, the icing on the cake. You get to see what the top card of your deck is.

 

28-030H – Shuyin

This is interesting.

Shuyin acts more like a Summon than a Forward.

Shuyin comes in and you can either choose a Forward your opponent controls and remove it from the game. Or, you can have your opponent choose 2 cards from their hand and remove them from the game.

You’ll also have to remove Shuyin from the game as well.

So, the question is why did they make Shuyin a Forward?

Unless, there is a card that can bring Shuyin back after he has been removed from the game.

This is a card that I’ll keep my eye on, just because I’m curious to see what people will do with it.

28-031L – Snow

For 5CP you get a Forward that keeps on giving.

Snow has 3 abilities, and you get to choose 2 of them when he enters the field, and whenever Snow attacks.

1) Dull/Freeze 1 Character
2) Reveal the top 2 cards of your deck, add a Final Fantasy XIII card to your hand.
3) The next Final Fantasy XIII card you play is reduced by 2CP.

Plenty of choices here, but I see most people using 1 and 3.

28-032H – Cecil

Paladin Cecil now makes more sense.

Cecil comes in and you can pay the extra cost of removing 3 Forward in your Break Zone from the game. You can then choose one Character, Dull/Freeze. And then, your opponent will discard a card.

And, when your opponent finally breaks Cecil and sends him to the Break Zone, it’s like Cecil finally beat himself at Mt. Ordeals, and comes back as a Paladin.

And, when Paladin Cecil comes in, since Dark Knight Cecil is already in your Break Zone, you’ll draw a card.

28-033C – Sephiroth

At 3CP this Backup is great. Sephiroth is doing Ice things.

When Sephiroth comes in your opponent discards a card.

And, if you ever needed to break a Multi-Element Forward, Sephiroth is here to help you do it.
That’s about it.

Simple, but effective.

 

28-034C – Paladin

There are plenty of ways to have your opponent discard a card this set.

Paladin here is one of them.

Whenever Paladin deals damage to your opponent, your opponent will discard one card.

And, if you pay a Crystal you can also give Paladin +2000 power and Brave, giving him a 9K body.

You can do a lot worse for 3CP.

28-035R – Harley

What else would Harley do?

She searches for a Bard.

*Cough Edward Cough*

And that is about it. Although it doesn’t necessarily say that you have to search for Edward, but we all already know that Edward is a Bard, and Harley is his secretary.

Maybe Bards will become a thing.

28-036R – Yazoo

Removing Remnants, to gain Crystals.

That seems like what the Remnants would do.

Yazoo removes, one Remnant, and gains 2 Crystals. Just like Loz.

Then you can use those Crystals to Dull/Freeze a Character once per turn.

I might finally give the Remnants a spin this set. I’ve been meaning to do it for a long time now. Ever since Opus XI.

28-037H – Yoshikiri

Yoshikiri is looking to spend all those Crystals that you’ve been farming.

When he enters the field, pay a Crystal, and your opponent will discard a card.

Yoshikiri is blocked, and you can then pay a Crystal and your opponent discards a card.

And, if that’s not enough, you can use Yoshikiri’s ability, that will force a Forward to block. So, not only will your opponent discard a card, they will lose a Forward in the process as well.

This will be a fun card. For you. Not your opponent.

28-038R – Loz

I don’t know where to start. So, we’ll just start from the card. Which is what we’re doing anyway.

Loz comes in and you can remove a Remnant from the Break Zone and you’ll gain a couple of Crystals for it.

Now, what does Loz do with these Crystals?

You can use them to give an Ice Forward +2000 power. This can be useful as a counter measure. Give an Attacker that is being blocked +2000 power to Break the Blocker, or the other way around, +2000 power to your blocker to break the attacker.

Are we finally going to be able to get a good Remnant deck going?

Cool Singles!
