Job Title : Necron

Necron, the Necron

5CP – Ice
Forward
Necron
Rare

“You can play 2 or more Dark Characters onto the field.

When Necron enters the field, choose 1 Character other than Necron you control. Its Element becomes Dark. (This effect does not end at the end of the turn.)

At the end of each of your turns, if you control 3 or more Dark Characters, Necron deals your opponent 1 point of damage.”
Now this is an unusual card, in that Necron can deal Damage to your opponent simply by doing nothing. Just load up on Dark Characters and sit it out. Just make sure you have at least 3 Dark Characters on the field at the end of each of your turns, and you’ll be dealing a point of Damage to your opponent.

Even though Necron is pretty much a standalone Character, with no alliances, Necron does side with the Dark, as all he does is want to destroy the Crystal.

Best plan would be to side Necron with all the Dark cards that you can. Hey, you might finally make that All Dark, … well mostly Dark Deck that you always wanted.

The Orders Keep Coming

TCGPlayer, is starting to pick up for us.

Yes, of course we are on there, TCGplayer has countless users which out of them 99.99% of them do not know who Kardboard Korner is. And, it is our job to teach them. How? By selling them cards, and bringing them back to the website with a coupon.

It works sometimes, and other times, and other times, people just don’t care about coupons. Because I have seen people order from the Website, without using a coupon after I sent them a couple of cards through TCGplayer, or through eBay. Which is good for me, unless they don’t know how to use the coupon.

And if you’re reading this, and would like a coupon, you can use the code FIVE for a 5% discount on your order.

Now that that’s out of the way, what have we been playing?

More Dissidia Opera Omnia.

– Spoiler Alert –

Here is where I say, I told you so.

Mog is a two faced moogle. I’ve seen him talking to Spiritus. But it seems like none of the Heroes actually care. They all just have him as a guide, as they’re trying to figure things out on their own, and fight what they want to fight for.

Shadow turned up, and basically said don’t trust that flying fur-ball. OK, he didn’t use those words, but that sums it up.

Kefka is always a joy to watch him taunt the party.

If you ask me, I think that Mog has his own goal in mind, and is on neither side. He is playing both Materia and Spiritus. I’d like to see what happens when Materia finds out. Spiritus already knows, and he probably has a plan set, for when Mog decides to betray him.

– End Spoilers –

Don’t forget, to use the coupon code – FIVE.

Wave 1 : Ifrit EX (1-004C)

It’s time to turn the heat up with Ifrit, because Ifrit EX, has no sure signs of pointing out which Wave Ifrit is. So, we’ll have to look at the two guides below to help us out. Let me go ahead and give you the links from the guides from the introduction post that will help you guide your way.

“Distinguishing Final Fantasy TCG Opus 1 Wave 1 from Future Waves”

“Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves”

They both look the same, don’t they?


But, there is tiny differences that we can point out. The Crystal being the first one. The one on the Wave 1 is closer to the top edge than the Wave 2 Ifrit. Also, the colors on the card are a little different as well. Ifrit’s body has a lighter shade for Wave 1 and darker for Wave 2.

And, lastly the Category box. If you look closely you can see the shading of the blue color, Wave 1 has a white tint, while Wave 2 looks like it has a purple tint.

Banon, Anti-Imperial Leader of the Returners

Banon (9-111H)

3CP/4000
Water
Forward
Epopt
Hero

“When Banon is chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities, reveal the top card of your deck. If it is a Backup, cancel all effects choosing Banon.

(D): Reveal the top card of your deck. If it is a Forward, add it to your hand.”

Although I wouldn’t give Banon the Epopt job, it does make sense. I’d call Banon what they called him in the game. Returner Leader, or just Leader for short, but Epopt has a nice ring to it.

Banon is a Forward with a unique ability that grants him up to a 50% chance of protection from your opponents Summons and abilities. When he is targeted, you can reveal the top card of your deck, if it’s a Backup the Summon or ability gets canceled. Why would your opponent target Banon if he only has 4000 power? It’s because Banon also has another ability, that gives you a chance at drawing a card. A Forward to be precise. If the top card of your deck is a Forward you can add it to your hand. If it’s not, then well you just put it back.

You can probably just use Banon in a Forward heavy deck, just so you can keep drawing an extra card during your turn, and if you have a way to activate Banon, then you can end up drawing more than just one card. It all depends on what’s on top of your deck.

Hokuten – Version 1.02

We’re going to do this a tiny bit different. We already know we’re not building and strong decks. We’re just making decks to have fun with. Zalbaag’s deck will be no different. In fact we’re going to look straight into Final Fantasy Tactics and see what we can come up with. Let’s take a look into the battles.

But, first.

We can’t have a Hokuten Deck without the Lord Commander himself, so we are throwing in 3 copies.

First battle Zalbaag commands Argath (or Algus) to kill Tietra, so we need Argath in. 3 copies because Argath makes your opponent discard a card when he enters the field.

Along with a couple Knights and Black Mages, although the Tactics Knights aren’t great at all. Just bodies that have no abilities. And the Black Mages, are just a little better than the Knights. Maybe we’ll just lave them out.

The next battle Zalbaag is in he is your ally, So, we’ll be adding in Ramza. Two of them to be exact Ramza (3-119L) just for the fact that he gains +1000 power for every Final Fantasy Tactics Forward that you control, and Ramza (7-118L), because he can become a cheap and powerful Forward if you have a lot of Forwards on the field before you play him. And, If this Ramza has over 10,000 power, every time he attacks, you can break one of your opponents Forwards, as long as it is 3CP or less.

Next battle Zalbaag is a part of the Undead. and fights against you with Archaeodaemon and Ultima Demon and we have none of those Monsters as cards yet. I thought this was going to be a lot more interesting than this.

Let’s see what else we can add? How about Dycedarg (4-105R), he is Zalbaag’s brother and do work together. Up until a certain point, I’ll leave that at that. Plus when he enters the Break Zone, he Dycedarg deals 7000 damage to one of your opponents active Forwards.

Next let’s find a way to search for Zalbaag. Aldo (10-086C) allows you to search for a Lightning Forward, and Duke Goltana (1-134R) allows you to search for a Knight. And, since Ramza and Dycedarg are both Knights, I think we finally have a plan for this deck.

Knights it is.

So, we need Ovelia (1-156C) to give all of our knights +1000 power. We’ll also add in Class Sixth Moogle (9-097C) to help us pay for Water. Now that we have water on hand, We shall add Beatrix (12-103H) to lower the cost of our Knights.

Agrias, we need Agrias (7-106L). She costs 6CP but with Beatrix it’ll be 4CP and if you find a 3CP Character it’ll be 1CP.

We’re going to add Princess Sarah (11-128H) just so we can play Argath. We’d take Argath out, but he plays a part in Zalbaag’s story.

That means we have Ice, let’s add some more Ice. Lasswell (16-042R) to dull and Freeze, and have your opponent discard cards. Charlotte (13-023R) cause she is a great Meat Shield.

As for Summons, we’ll take Ixion (17-090R), Leviathan (2-140C) and Shiva (19-022R)

And, there you have it Hokuten V1.02

Forwards

3x – Argath (1-033C)
3x – Beatrix (12-103H)
3x – Charlotte (13-023R)
3x – Lasswell (16-042R)
3x – Zalbaag (1-136C)
3x – Ramza (3-119L)
3x – Dycedarg (4-105R)
3x – Ramza (5-118L)
3x – Agrias (7-106L)

Backups

3x – Princess Sarah (11-128H)
3x – Ovelia (1-156C)
3x – Class Sixth Moogle (9-097C)
3x – Duke Goltanna (1-134R)
3x – Aldo (10-086C)

Summons

3x – Leviathan (2-140C)
3x – Ixion (17-090R)
2x – Shiva (19-022R)

This one does seem a little forced, compared to other deck ideas we have done.
