Magic Hammer

Don’t look to closely into the Possessed Bookshelf.

Byblos – 16-038H
Monster
Evil Spirit
Category : V
Power : 7000
Hero

“When your opponent discards 1 or more cards from their hand due to your Summons or abilities, choose 1 Forward opponent controls. Dull it and Freeze it.

Damage 3 – (0): Until the end of the turn, Byblos also becomes a Forward with 7000 power and “When Byblos attacks, your opponent discards 1 card from their hand.” You can only use this ability once per turn.”

There we have it. A card that does not need any support from other cards. Byblos’ ability can go off with no help from another card. If you’re at 3 points of Damage, that is. Turn him into a Forward and attack. Your opponent will discard a card from their hand, and then you get to chose 1 of their Forwards and Dull, and Freeze it.

Other than that simply pop Byblos into any Discard deck and you are good to go. You’ll be draining your opponents resources in no time.

Clemens’ Chronicle

One of the few Final Fantasy games I haven’t played yet. But, I think that Luso, was a better main character than Mont.

Luso – 16-020L
Forward
Clan Gully Member
FFTA2
Legend
5000 Power

“At the beginning of the Attack Phase during each of your turns, if you have received 5 points of damage or less, shuffle your deck, then reveal the top card of your deck. If it is a Fire Character you may play it onto the field.

Damage 6 – At the beginning of the Attack Phase during each of your turns you may search for 1 Fire Character and play it onto the field.”

Add Luso to any Mono-Fire deck and make it instantly better. Sure, Luso doesn’t have a lot of Power but that’s easily fixed by Lebraeu, and a Lava Spider.

Luso, is currently only searchable by, Cid of Clan Gully (5-103R). There might be another card in this set, but we don’t know about it yet.

Play Luso in a Mono-Fire deck as early as you can. The 6CP cost will pay you back constantly as long as you can keep Luso on the field. You might even want to consider taking a Mulligan, if you don’t pull Luso in your opening hand.

Pulse of Life

*Spoiler Alert*

It’s what everyone has been trying to do since the end of disc 1. Yes that was just in case you still haven’t played FFVII.

End Spoiler

Aerith – 16-067L
Forward
Ancient
VII
Legend
5000 Power

“The Forwards other than Aerith you control gain +2000 power

When Aerith is put from the field into the Break Zone, you may remove Aerith from the game. When you do so, place 3 Reraise Counters on Aerith.

At the begining of Main Phase 1 during each of your turns, if 1 or more Reraise Counters are placed on Aerith, remove 1 Reraise Counter from Aerith. Then, if there are no Reraise Conters on Aerith, play Aerith onto the field. This effect will trigger only if Aerith is removed from the game.”

Let’s just put aside Final Fantasy VII for now. Although I know most of us will just throw her in a VII deck based off of Cloud, Tifa, Barret and Marlene. Add in some Avalanche and you just added Aerith to the party.

But, we’re going to look at this a little differently.

We’re pairing Aerith with Enna Kross. The plan is to bring in the “Big Guns” and make them even bigger. For simplicity, we’re just going to stay in Earth.

Prishe (1-116L) : Prishe already comes in with 8K power, which is pretty good by itself. Add the 3000 and you get 11000 Power, which is enough to take down Bhunivelze. But, you can always use Auroral Uppercut and double that power, for a total of 22000 Power. You’ll probably never need that much power, but then again why do we always level up our characters to Lvl.99

Gabranth (2-081L) : Although no one really uses Gabranth anymore, it’s a good card to play towards the end of the game. When he costs 1CP and gives everyone Brave.

Y’shtola (12-119L) : Ok, so this one is Wind/Earth, but it still counts. Y’shtola will hardly take any damage. Ever. Period. And frankly she can’t be blocked by a Forward that would be able to Break her.

And, that’s just a few Forwards, that you can play. Any better ideas? I bet you have some. Let us know in the comments.

Bah Humbug!

Before I start anything.

Bah Humbug!

OK, now that the holidays are over. No, more crazy shopping, running around trying to find a couple of presents. No more, until next year. But, next year we tell ourselves, we’ll do all of our holiday shopping in July. And, you know that, that never works. It might with some people, but not for me. I leave everything till last minute, and then I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

But, enough about that.

The year is almost over, and that means that we’ll be getting our final release on the 31st of December. MetaZoo Cryptid Nation 2nd printing. Theme Decks, and Spellbooks, and Boxes. Oh My! Let’s Find the Mothman.

We’re going to be getting ready for our 2nd Release Event.

We have a couple of Events coming up for all you FFTCG players out there. One for the Custom Starter Set, and at least one for Emissaries of Light. February and March. I’ll have more info on each of them soon enough, but we know that they will be late night events once again.

I think these late night events are good, even though there’s not that big of a turn out, there are plenty of people that can’t make the afternoon events due to their work schedule. Me being one of them. I was never able to make it to many events just for the fact that I usually work all day. And by the time I get off of work, your local game store is usually closed.

War of the Visions you ask?

Well, I haven’t really played. Same old since last time.
