29-039C – Ahriman

Ahriman pays for itself in the end.

More like a ticking time bomb if you ask me. And, I think I already used that term this set, so that must mean one thing. We have 6 different Monsters in this set that cost 1CP, and they let you draw a card when you use it’s ability.

Ahriman will deal a 5CP Forward (or more) 7000 damage.

Yeah that’s about it. Sounds more like a Bomb to me. That’s what they should have done. 6 different Bombs. Maybe next set.

 

29-040H – Adelle

A 2 cost, 7K body, with Haste that can attack twice in the same turn.

I’ll take it.

Although you do need to discard a card to get that whole effect, but it is worth it.

And, this can be the first card you play. 2 points of damage turn 1 before your opponent even has a chance to answer. If they don’t have a Summon that can get rid of her turn 1, they’re already down 2 points of damage and you haven’t even started playing. You can have the whole game won by turn 2.

Especially if you drew Roche turn 1 as well.

You’ll pretty much play Roche for free, and then play Adelle for 2CP, have them both attack, and well you know the rest.

29-041H – Alexander

A 3CP Summon that deals 5000 damage to 3 of your opponent’s Forwards.

3CP? 3 Forwards?

Coincidence?

I think not.

.

 

29-042R – Wol

You can’t say that you don’t like this card.

Wol is the Assassin that we’ve all been looking for. Especially for those High Powered Forwards taht your opponent controls. All you need to do is find a way to get Wol to deal damage to your opponent.

And, luckily he can do that all by himself. As long as you have Crystals.

Cause you can just use that Crystal to give Wol the ability that states “Wol cannot be blocked”.

I’m already counting my Crystals.

 

29-043R – Aerith

I’m trying to figure this one out.

If a Final Fantasy VII Character is put from your hand or deck into the Break Zone you get to add it back to your hand.

Does that mean, when you pay for a S ability that the card will come back to your hand? If it does then this card is awesome.

If not, and if it’s only to protect your hand from turbo discard then that is good as well.

I would like to see this card in action before I decide if I like it or not.

 

29-044C – Elmyra EX

We have a new job. Sector Five Undercity Resident.

Yeah, that’s it.

Elmyra will search for Aerith.

Elmyra can also protect Aerith whenever she is chosen by your opponent’s abilities.

You can also search for Aerith off of the EX Burst.

 

29-045C – Dancer

Dancer comes right in and reveals the top 5 cards of your deck in search for a 3 cost Forward. Yes, she’s looking for a partner. Ok, that wasn’t my best work. But, that’s besides the point.

If you do find a 3 cost Forward, Dancer just became a 2 cost Forward.

Dancer will activate at the end of your turn. This way you’ll always have a blocker ready to go.

 

 

 

29-046L – Garuda (XVI)

This is not bad. I actually had the Benedikta/Garuda duo in my prerelease deck. Sadly, I didn’t have enough WInd cards in that deck to actually make use of it.

If you’re running Mono-Wind on the other hand, this is a no Brainer.

You play Benedikta, you Prime into Garuda, and you play one of the 2 cards from the top of your deck. And if Garuda deals damage to your opponent, you can run that ability again. And, again.

Aerial Blast? If you have the CP go for it. But, if your opponent finds a way to block it, then you’ll be out of luck as it might leave you with no way to counter if this ability gets blocked or canceled.

Still, it’s a good choice if you have your opponent with 6 points of damage and a big front line.

29-047C – Chloe

And, you thought that, that was it with the Chocobo support.

Guess you were wrong. So was I.

Chloe comes in and every time a Chocobo enters the field she activates. Yes, this only trigger once per turn but, that’s all you’ll need.

Why?

Because, you’re activating her, just to use her ability, which is granting a Character protection from your opponent’s abilities. And, that protection is called, not being able to be chosen by those abilities.

At 2CP, this is a good choice. A great choice.

29-048C – Billy

Oh wow. How is this a common?

Billy comes in for 5CP, Billy searches for a Chocobo of 3CP or less and plays it onto the field. You’ll probably search for Chocobo (6-050) Cause why wouldn’t you? And, if you don’t, I’d like to know which Chocobo you’re searching for.

Oh, and let’s not forget that all your Chocobos gain +3000 power.

And, once again. How is this a Common?

 

 

29-049H – Sophia (SOPFFO)

Sophia is ready to give Stranger of Paradise a shield. One that will reduce damage dealt to SOPFFO Forwards by 1000. Which is good, that could be the difference your Forwards need to not break.

At 4CP, Sophia comes in and grabs a Wind Character from your Break Zone and plays it on to the field. 4CP = 2 casts.

Yes, you’ll need another Stranger on the field for this to work, but you’re probably already have a couple if you’re reading this.

 

 

29-050C – Chocobo

I’d like to see Chocobos make a comeback, and this card, just might help.

First off it’s a Chocobo, and for 3CP you get a Forward with 7000 power. Once Chocobo comes in you can dull a Wind Forward, and that will give Chocobo Haste.

Chocobo can now attack, and when it does, you will look at the top 3 cards of your deck, and add a Chocobo to your hand, bringing Chocobo’s cost down to 1CP.

Pair this with a whole bunch of other Chocobo’s, A Bartz, and that Ace LB from Hidden Hope, and you’ll be set.

 

29-051C – Stray Chocobo

Are you seeing what I’m seeing?

Stray Chocobo, is the perfect Wind Forward to dull when Chocobo 25-050C enters the field.

Why?

Because as soon as you dull Stray Chocobo, Stray Chocobo will activate itself. And that’s not the only thing, Stray Chocobo will also give one of your Forwards +1000 power until the end of the turn.

And, you can give that +1000 power to Chocobo, as it gets ready to attack now that it has Haste.

 

29-052H – Bartz

And, the list goes on.

Bartz enters the field and grabs 2 Chocobos from the Break Zone. And you better be grabbing Stray Chocobo, and then any other Chocobo it doesn’t matter which one, because you’re just going to use it to pay for the cost to cast Stray Chocobo.

Why?

Because when you dull a Chocobo, Bartz gains Haste, and his power becomes 9000. Meaning Bartz can attack, and whenever a Forward you control attacks you can choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and deal it 4000 damage.

Meaning, that if you have a swarm of Chocobos on the field, you can ping to victory!

29-053R – Benedikta

A 4 cost Forward with 8000 power. Pretty normal.

Benedikta comes in and activates 2 of your Wind Backups. And then you can use those Backups to pay the cost to Prime her into Garuda. And what does Garuda do? Well, I heven’t seen it yet.

But, we’re pretty sure it’ll be something good.

Plus Benedikta gains Haste if any Eikon has been removed from the game.

 

 

29-054R – Great Malboro

This is a slight setback for your opponent.

Great Malboro comes in and you will remove 2 cards from your opponent’s hand from the game. The good thing is that you get to take a look at their hand. This way you know what they have, and once you remove those 2 cards, they won’t be able to get them back until the end of their turn.

Meaning that you will know what they can counter, and most of what their next play looks like.

Plus, if you have 5 Backups Great Malboro becomes a Forward, and you can use him to block attacks left and right unitl it is sent to the Break Zone.

After that, you can just play another Great Malboro.

29-055C/15-058C – Dragoon

A lot has changed since Crystal Dominion came out.

But, Dragoon stays the same. Other than the Kain part, we’re sticking to this.

“You’ll need Dragoon to keep Kain on your side.

Other than that he enters the field. Gives you a Crystal. And finally you put him in the Break Zone and he gives 1 Forward First Strike.”

 

 

29-056R – Lucil

Yes, If you’re playing Chocobos, you’re playing Lucil. No questions asked. Period.

Why?

It’s simple really, Lucil is a free play. Once you have 3 Chocobos on the field, Lucil will come in and you will draw a card. Which in turn will be the 2CP that you paid to cast Lucil.

Not only that, you can dull a Chocobo *cough Stray Chocobo cough cough* to make Lucil an 8000 powered Forward.

Add in the Rubi Asami art, and I’ll take 3 Full Arts.

 

29-057L – Luso

Yes, 8CP might seem like a lot to pay for a 5K body, but look at what you’re getting.

You get to search for 3 Forwards that cost 6CP all together. Meaning that you’re paying 2CP for Luso. And, that is cheap. Cause, you’re filling up your board. And they can be any element that you’d like. No restrictions here. Except that they have to be Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 Forwards.

Luso can also give Haste to a FFTA2 Forward whenever he attacks.

What’s not to like?

Starting Your Journey of Discovery

27-127S – Wuk Lamat

The more Characters that you have on the field, the stronger Wuk Lamat gets. As a card, not a Forward.

If you have or more Characters, every time your Forwards attack, Wuk Lamat will increase that damage bu 2000 damage. Giving you an constant advantage over your opponent. Add in Fire Backups, like Lebreau (1-030R) and that one Warrior from Opus V. 5-014C which gives your Fire Forwards +2000 power.

And when Wuk Lamat enters the field or attacks, if you have 5 or more Characters, you will deal 7000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

You’ll want to fill up your board if you want to use Wuk Lamat.

27-123S – Zack

Let your opponent play their Forwards before you decide to play Zack, cause if they have 3 Forwards on the field, Zack will come in with Haste.

And when he enters the field or Attacks, Zack will deal damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. 1000 for each Backup you control. This will bring you at a max total of 5000 damage.

And, since Zack comes in with Haste, you will be able to deal this damage twice in one turn.

The plan is to get all your Backups in as soon as possible. Then you will play Zack, and then I would say that you have a 90% chance at a board wipe.

27-124S – Cloud

Cloud is here to save the day, at least for a turn.

Cloud comes in for 3CP, and gives all of your Forwards +3000 power and Brave.

And, there you have it. That alone would make Cloud a great card to play, add in the fact that he also gives one of your Forwards protection. That Forward cannot be broken, and cannot be returned to your hand by Summons or abilities.

This way if you ever needed to keep a Forward as safe as possible, Cloud just might get the job done.

27-125S – Luso

This Clan Gully Member, is on his way to building a deck alongside some Mandragoras.

Luso comes in for 1CP, and even though he only has 3000 power, he still can do a lot of damage. Especially if you can find a way to give Luso First Strike. Imagine the possibilities. Brave and First Strike. Luso will become unstoppable. Add in Cloud’s protection and you have a way to chip away at your opponent’s Forwards one by one.

And, Luso isn’t done yet. Whenever he deals damage to your opponent you can either grab a Character from your Break Zone, or you can Deal a Forward 3000 damage. And you know what happens to Forwards that Luso deals damage to.

27-126S – Sphene

Did you need to protect that Break Zone of yours?

Sphene is here to help. She’s actually here to do a lot more than just help.

When Sphene is on the field, your opponent cannot remove any of the cards in your Break Zone. End of story.

You’ll say, yeah that’s pretty good especially if you have a way of grabbing cards from your Break Zone.
Well, Sphene does that too. Once per turn, your turn that is, Sphene will grab a Forward from your Break Zone, and you can add it to your hand.

I’m just thinking we’re going to be recycling Luso.

27-127S – Lightning

A 7 cost Lightning card, named Lightning.

You’ll think that this card is a bit expensive, and I might even agree with you.

Yes, there are cards that will Break an opponent’s Forwards for less CP. And, yes, you can just play Opus I Odin for 7CP and Break any one of your opponent’s Forwards.

But, look at what else Lightning has to offer. She stays on the field as a body with 9000 power. Plus when ever one of your opponent’s Forwards is sent to the Break Zone she grants Haste to one of your own Forwards. Yes, you can choose Lightning for this.

Let’s not forget that you can Break a Forward off of an EX Burst as well.

And that, my friends is that.

27-128S – Charlotte

A New Charlotte, and this one is very playable. Charlotte will put a fork in your opponent’s plans. As two of her abilities will turn your opponent’s plan on their head. (I think that’s what you call it).

All of your opponent’s Forwards cannot use action abilities when Charlotte is on the field, and all of your Forwards cannot be chosen by your opponent’s Summons if they cost 1CP.

That’s not all, the damage Charlotte receives is reduced by 1000. Making it harder for your opponent to try and get rid of her. Add in the 8000 power Charlotte already has, and she’ll stick around on the field for as long as you’d like.

27-129S – Yuna

Yuna comes in and you play a 3 cost Forward from your hand onto the field. Which Tidus costs 3CP? Oh, yeah the one from Emissaries of Light. We’ll just leave that information here.

But, there are plenty of 3 cost Forwards that you can play. Since you don’t have to worry about Element, you can splash in any Forward that you would like.

Yuna will also grab a card from your deck every time she attacks. Making her a Forward that keeps on giving. Over and over again.

I would have expected this card to cost more than just 4CP.

Hidden Trials – Limit Break

Shop these Singles & More @ our TCG Player Store

23-118H – Ardyn LB

The Chief Minister has grand plans.

Ardyn has found a way to bring himself back from the dead.

Simply put, when Ardyn enters the Break Zone, you can bring an Ardyn from your Limit Break deck onto the field.
The real question is, can you fill up your Limit Break deck with cards that aren’t LB? I doubt it, I’ll have to check out the rules to make sure.

This card is a turn 1 play.

As long as you have a Playset of Ardyns in your Limit Break deck, you’ll be good to go.

23-119R – Vincent LB

Well, Vincent looks like he’s ready to take on the Tsivets.

This is the Limit Break that Vincent starts the game off with, and that suggests that we will be getting the other 3 later on down the line.

Let’s take a look and see what Galian Beast does.

Vincent comes in with First Strike, and when he enters the field, you can throw a Fire Backup into the Break Zone, and deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 9000 damage. You’ll have a good chance at breaking it.

If my calculations are correct, we’ll soon have a Vincent deck equipped with all of his Limit Breaks. Might take a couple of years before we can get it, but it might be fun.

23-120R – Kuja LB

Kuja is a 5 cost Forward with 8000 power and the ability to get out of some of your opponent’s abilities, and maybe some of their Summons.

How?

It’s simple, you can just dull Kuja to Dull the Forward using that ability.

Dull/Freeze that Forward and your opponent will think twice before targeting Kuja.

 

23-121L – Cait Sith LB

Sometimes the first time you look at a card, you think it’s great.

then you look at it again and think, Huh? How is this a Legend.

It’s a decent card, don’t get me wrong, but Freezing all of your opponent’s Backups, and having them discard a card is not what I’d call Legend material.

On a side note, Cait Sith needs you to control 5 Backups in order for his ability to go off.

I’ll take a hard pass on this one.

23-122R – Cid Highwind LB

Roll of the dice. Or is it a flip of the cards?

Cid Highwind comes in on the Highwind, and gives you an airdrop right before he enters the field.

Flip three cards and if you find a Backup add it to your hand. If not well just put all the cards at the bottom of your deck. You might want to use Cid, when you only have 3 cards left. And, you better win before you run out of cards.

Is it worth playing?

Probably. You can just add it to your Limit Break deck, just so you have enough cards in it.

23-123 – Deathgaze LB

That’s a lot to pay to Break a Forward. And, that Forward also needs to be a certain cost in order for this to be effective.

There are 270 Forwards that cost 5CP. Yes, that’s a pretty big amount, but how many of those Forwards actually see play?
And there are only 2 Forwards that cost 10CP.

Unless Bhunivelze, and Garuda start seeing some play, i’d say it’s best to leave this card at home.

Odin (1-124R) costs 7CP and let’s you break any Forward you want.

23-124L – Eiko LB

Have you ever thought that you wish you had a certain Summon at a certain point of the game?

I’m sure you have, we’ve all had.

Well, Eiko here, is here to help you search for that Summon, and once you find it you can remove it from the game.

Not much help there, but once that Summon is removed from the game, you can cast it without paying the cost.

That’s a little bit better.

23-125R – Noctis LB

Even though Noctis costs 6CP, this is probably one of the better Limit Breaks.

Noctis allows you to grab a Forward from your Break Zone. Yes, there are plenty of cards that allow you to do this. The difference is that, you don’t need to rely on luck to draw the card that will grab a Forward from the Break Zone. Noctis is ready to go whenever you’d like, as long as you have the CP to pay for him.

Other than that, he’ll be a 7K body, lingering on the field.

.

23-126L – Edge

Are you Serious? Yes, serious with a capital S.

This card is amazing.

Mono-Lightning and Ninja themed decks are going to dominate in 2024 and beyond.

Might be why I’ve been selling plenty of Ninjas lately.

Edge gives you an advantage for one turn. Every Lightning Forward and Ninja deals 7000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards. That might be good enough to wipe the board. It might be good enough to get you the game.

Either way, you’re going to do some damage. Just need to find a way to give Edge Haste.

23-127R – Nyx LB

If you’re playing Mono-Lightning, or Kingsglaive, just throw Nyx into your Limit Break deck.

You’re bound to have a Lightning Character or a Kingsglaive Character hit the Break Zone, and when you do, you might as well play Nyx, for the whopping cost of 1CP. 0CP if you have Regis already on the field.

And, that’s all Nyx does. a glorified Meat Shield, ready to take on your opponent’s Forwards with his 9K body.

10k if you already have Lulu (1-150R) on the field.

You can’t go wrong here.

23-128R – Beatrix LB

Here’s another Knight for the Queen’s Guard.

God save the Queen, and the Forward that will be sent to the Break Zone whenever Beatrix attacks.

As long as you have 3 Knights on the field, Beatrix will be good to go, breaking a Forward once per turn.

It’s as simple as that.

Play Knights, Play Beatrix.

23-129H – Lunafreya LB

Look at the top 5 cards of your deck, and find the one with an EX Burst. Once you add it to your hand the EX Burst will go off.
This can be a great play where you grab a card with a great EX Burst that you can play right away, giving you double the EX, double the Burst. Double the damage. Double Trouble.

Or, you might get a card that you don’t need or want at that point in the game.

Now, I don’t know if these Limit Break cards are bounceable, but if they are, imagine what you can do if you keep bouncing Lunafreya.

23-130H – Luso LB

5CP to play Luso, who also searches for a Standard Unit, of a certain Element. That Element is chosen by you when Luso enters the field.

After that, whenever you play a Standard Unit onto the field, Luso gains +4000 power, giving him a 9k body until the end of the turn.

And, if you’re using Frimelda, you can play a Standard Unit each turn, giving Luso a constant 9K.

And, that’s all I got. I can’t focus anymore.

23-115L – Venat

Ok, this is the third time I’m trying to write about Venat.

And I don’t see anything that Special with this card.

4CP/9K

Strong enough Forward to play, you have your Crystal abilities. One which allows you to remove a Forward from the game when Venat is sent to the Break Zone.

The only thing I like about this card, is that you can search for a card whenever you’d like as long as you have the Crystals to pay for it.

23-116H – Illua

Did you ever think we’d get another Illua as good as Opus V?

I don’t know about you, but this one is up there.

Illua already comes in with Haste, which is always a plus, and depending on how many Backups you have on the field determines her ability.

If you have up to 3 Backups on the field, every time Illua attacks, you choose one of your opponent’s Forward and they lose 5000 power.

If you have at least 4 Backups, Illua becomes unblockable.

Either way you need to get Illua on the field as soon as possible.

23-117L – Chaos

I read this card wrong the first time, I was thinking to myself who would have that many Chaoses in their deck. Then I read Job Chaos, and it makes much more sense now.

Once Chaos comes into the field, remove a mixture of 5 Monsters and Chaos (the Job not the Legend) and your opponent will put one of their Forwards into the Break Zone, they will also discard 2 cards from their hand.

Talk about thinning out a hand.

Flare.

If you got 10 cards left in your deck, and you need 1 point to win the game, you have already one if you got an extra Chaos in your hand. Maybe Amaterasu can stop Chaos and Flare, but other than that 99.99% chance you’re going to win when you cast Flare at that point.

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?
