Resurgence of Power – Light & Dark

18-103H – Elena (FFBE)

This one is interesting.

Can’t remember if Brave works on Dull for abilities.

After a quick search it doesn’t.

Elena isn’t that strong off the bat, and you’re probably not going to be using her to attack. More than likely, you’ll be using her to either draw a card and choosing a card from your opponents hand to discard.

Upon closer look, you can have her attack. Since, she doesn’t dull when attacking, if your opponent blocks the attack, you can dull Elena and have her gain +3000 power. Thus making her an 8000 power Forward.

18-104H – Squall

Cost efficient, if you’re running an FFVIII themed deck. Just throw him in a deck with Seifer, Raijin, and Fujin from this set, and you’re good to go.

When he enters or attack, you get to Dull and Freeze a Forward, and all your Forwards get +1K power boost.

Is this Squall better than the Opus XVI Squall, probably not. But, it does have some uses.

18-105H – Ultimecia

Ultimecia increases the cost of casting any card other than a Backup by 1CP. And at 5 points of Damage she increases your opponents cost by another 1CP. I can see some use for this towards the end of the game, as your opponent might try and take her out just to save some CP.

Other than that, Hell’s Judgement. You cast it, most Forwards will go to the Break Zone, and if you have an Opus XVI Squall on the field. He can attack, and finish off the rest of the Forwards with his ability.

18-106H – Sol (FFBE)

This is a wonderful card. I like it. I’ll take 3 please.

As this activates at the beginning of each players Attack Phase, I don’t see any reason of not using this card. Even if it is just giving you a small advantage.

It’s your turn you choose the first option giving all your Forward +1000 power and Brave.

On your opponents turn, you use the second ability, causing your opponents Forwards to lose 2000 power.

And if you have 5 points of damage, you choose all 3. You get the previous 2 abilities and your opponent can not cast Summons.

What’s not to like?
