Yoichi’s Bow and the Wielder

Maria, probably your best bet at a Mage while playing FFII. But, here she’s more of a Time Mage in a sense.

“I’m looking for my long-lost brother. If you know anything about him, please let me know.”

Maybe, Leon will be a Dark card this set.

On to the Card

Maria

2CP/Light
Forward
Warrior/Rebel
Category – II
Legend
5000 Power

“The Forwards of cost 2 or less other than Maria you control gain +2000 Power.

When Maria enters the field, choose up to 1 Backup you control, Activate it. It loses all it’s abilities and also becomes a Forward with 8000 power. (This effect does not end at the end of the turn.)”

And there you have it. Finally, a way to recycle your Backups. Especially the ones that come in with an upon entry auto-ability, and then they have nothing else to do, except give you 1CP every time you dull it.

Any Backup that allows you to search for another card will be a good choice. Other cards that will work are ones that cause damage to Forwards when they enter the field. Backups that allow you to draw a card. At least that is how I see myself playing this.

You’ll probably be playing all the 2 cost Forwards you can get, giving them +2K power. That along with … I would have said Opus I – Maria, but that is a no-no. But, along with another Backup that boosts the power of your Forwards, those 2 cost Forwards should be hitting pretty hard.

Well, that is my thoughts on Maria. What are yours?
