Lumina – Card Analysis

First off, let’s check what I wrote when Opus XIII : Crystal Radiance came out.

“13-085R – Lumina

3CP to search for a XIII forward. Nothing exciting, but you would think that they would have done something better for Lumina.”

Have no fear, we will go into a deeper analysis today.

3CP – Lightning
Backup
Mysterious Woman
Rare

“When Lumina enters the field, you may search for 1 Category XIII Forward and add it to your hand.”

Now, when I said nothing exciting, I meant just that. Lumina is considered a Trickster in the game, so, you would think that she would do something devious to your opponent. Don’t get me wrong, you can never have enough searchers in your deck.

At the time of this writing, there are 93 Forwards that Lumina can choose from. There are FFXIII Forwards in every Element except for Dark. There shouldn’t be too much of a problem finding a Forward to grab from your deck.

Most of the cards in the FFXIII Custom Starter Set are great candidates for Lumina to search for. Especially that Light Lightning. You cant go wrong with that card.

I’ve looked long and far, and can’t remember if there is a card that searches for a Lightning Character, Backup, or any Character for that matter. I might be wrong, and find it later. And, If I do, I shall update this post.

Lumina

“I have a name. It’s Lumina. And, I know a lot about you.”

SPOILER ALERT

If you haven’t played Lightning Returns and don’t want anything ruined, move along.

If you have, continue on.

Datalog Entry

-Lumina

This mysterious young girl appears to be able to control the power of Chaos, and likes to get in Lightning’s way at every turn.

It seems that she has met Snow before, and the two have more than just a passing acquaintance. but Lightning has spent the last five centuries in crystal, and she has no way of knowing what could have happened between the two.

Still, she cannot deny that the girl bears a striking similarity to Serah. But Serah is dead, and this Lumina seems to have her own goals.

 

So, just who is Lumina?

Lumina, is a vessel that was created when Lightning went into Crystal Stasis, in order to protect Serah’s heart to protect her from Chaos.. And, while Lightning was in Crystal Stasis, Lumina kept in contact with everyone that was a part of Lightning’s story.

From being there when Fang and Vanille woke up from their Crystal Stasis, to keeping Vanille company when she was lonely as the High Priestess. Showing Noel the oracle drive where he defeats Lightning, Giving Sazh a coffer of souls to collect Dajh’s Soul Fragments in order for him to wake up. Lumina also came in contact with Caius and Snow, but not Hope. Nothing to do with Hope, because Hope is dead. He’s just a puppet now. Bhunivelze’s puppet.

Light at the End of the Tunnel

The Sorting is done.

We’re almost done with Emissaries of Light.

And, we almost see light at the end of the tunnel.

It looks like we’ll be done in time for Dawn of Heroes. We got about a month to go. And, that month will go by fast. Because that is how it usually is. Before you know it we’ll be sitting here at Midnight PreRelease, wondering if anyone is going to pull the Full Art Estinien.

But, there is still plenty of work to do before hand, and so I shall give you July’s Coupon Code “Scarlet” The coupon will expire July 31st. So, be sure to use it.

I Need a Title Here

We’re slowly chugging along on this updating the site. Currently working on Opus XIII, and things are going a lot smoother and faster than we thought it would. Hopefully we’ll have this all done by the time Dawn of Heroes comes out.

It would have been a lot faster, but since I’m doing the Site, TCGPlayer, and eBay all at the same time, it takes longer. You can blame eBay for that.

Other than that there’s not much going on as usual.

2 exciting things happened.

One of my keys fell off on this old laptop, and I had to figure out how to put it back together. Couple of videos later and I was able to get it back in. The hardest part was finding the right video for the right laptop. Having a laptop from 2009 didn’t help either.

The other … well I don’t know how exciting it was, but it was interesting. There was a man standing outside my window, picking his nose and eating his boogers. Yes, that was the highlight of that day. It was yesterday, actually.

Plus, I just saw Card of the Week Previews are back on the Square Enix Site. That must mean that Dawn of Heroes is right around the corner. And if Dawn of Heroes is right around the corner, that means Midnight PreRelease will soon be upon us.

Stay tuned for details.
