Rebellion’s Call Pre-Release Midnight Event

Another Pre-release, another Midnight event.

Get your hands on some Rebellion’s Call before the actual release. How? Just show up and join us for our Midnight Pre-Release Event on Friday – August 5th. Technically the event isn’t till the 6th but it will be the 6th once the clock strikes midnight.

Everyone can start showing up at 10PM for some casual play until everyone is set to play.

You should already know the rules but for those who don’t, well here’s your chance to figure out what’s going on.
Everyone gets their Kit, and must build their deck. We’ll have about 30 minutes for this. After that, we dive into the games. Standard tournament 30 minute rounds. And, that is pretty much it.

We’ll have prizes as well. Depending on how many people show up will determine the prizes. All that is certain is First place will receive another Pre-Release Kit, and a shiny Promo card. After that we’ll see what we have on offer. But the top 8 will walk away with something.

$45 for your first Kit and spot in the tournament.

After that each kit will be $40.

Where is this at?

Mr. Gyros
9229 S. Cicero
Oak Lawn, IL 60453

Show up any time after 10PM, if you want some food come by earlier as the kitchen will close at 10.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Opinion on Starters : Rebellion’s Call

17-131S – Kain

Haste? Check
Way to reduce the CP cost? Check
Buffs self when attacking? Check

All in all Kain here is a decent card. You might end up only paying 1CP for Kain, and if you do he’s an attacking Forward with 9K power.

 

 

17-132S -Zemus

Kind of plays like Don Corneo from a couple Opus back.

But, as before to remove 7 or 1 cards from your deck is quite the number.

Unless you’re sure you’re going to win this game, it’s best to avoid using these abilities. But, you’re playing Fire. Go on Aggro yourself ahead and hope for the best.

 

17-133S – Scarmiglione

Interesting.

If you’re playing against a Mono-build this card is a perfect choice. If not, it’s still a good choice.

Scarmiglione comes in and you pick an element. Scarmiglione becomes twice as strong against that element.

And, Blood Tap? Yes that damage will increase as well. It’s a Special ability and since you don’t need to dull Scarmiglione, you can keep using it till you run out of Scarmigliones. With this one there are a total of 4 different Scarmiglione. Multiply that by 3, and you can see how many times you’ll be able to use Blood Tap.

17-134S – Baigan EX

Not much here, but Baigan does allow you to search for Golbez.

After that you can put Baigan into the Break Zone to break a Forward.

4CP/8K power. Average card.

 

 

17-135S – Edge

Same thing with Scarmiglione. Edge has an ability that triggers when he enters the field. Depending on how many FFIV Characters you have on the field, Edge can break a Forward. You can quite easily pick apart your opponent using Mirage over and over.

Plenty of Edges to keep on hand for this ability.

 

 

17-136S – Kain

Kain allows you to grab a FFIV Water Character from the Break Zone.Plenty of Characters that you can choose from.
Other than that he can come in with Haste depending on the field situation.

 

 

 

17-137S – Rydia

Search for a couple of Summons, one gets tossed to the Break Zone by your opponent.

After that each time you cast a Summon, you might be able to break one of your opponents Forwards. Especially if they are high cost Summons.

 

 

 

17-138S – Rosa

Decent card, better card if Cecil is on the field.

Even though Rosa is a Forward, she plays like a Backup, casting White Magic on your Forwards. Activate and a buff. All for a total of 0CP. You know you’ll be using her ability each turn.

 

 

17-139S – Cecil

There are better Cecils, but every time I say that, someone comes up with a way that makes this one even better than the other ones.

So, I’ll just say that Cecil here can have up to 10K Power with Brave.

That and if you dull your FFIV Characters, you can dull Forwards and deal damage and stuff.

 

17-140S – Golbez

Same thing with Cecil, but Golbez can act like a Summon as well.

Which unless you’re searching for another Golbez I don’t see the point in not paying the 2CP and keeping Golbez on the field.

But, you might say 6CP is a lot to pay for this card. But so is the 7CP Odin and all he does is break a card.

Just Another Update

It’s been a while since we’ve done a little update about what’s going on.

As you can see we’re starting to add more TCGs to the site. Mostly Pokemon, because that is what everyone likes. And, I get to add to my Mimikyu collection. We’re also going to start selling more singles on the site. As you can see, we already added the Pokemon Go Expansion that has just been released.

Opus I, should be up next because we’ve been meaning to do that for quite some time now. Along with the Promo cards and the Deck Exclusive cards. Our main focus will still be FFTCG.

After that Magic singles, MetaZoo and Flesh and Blood. This is a one man team on the website side, so please be patient. As always if you are looking for particular singles that are not listed you can always e-mail us, and we’ll be happy to look for you.

We’re dong more shows now as well. Some are better than others, but we’re still going out there. Trying to get at least one every weekend. Our Schedule is filling up fast. As soon as things are confirmed you know that we’ll make a post about it. Then we’ll send you an e-mail the week of to remind you. All you need to do is sign up to the mailing list. And you can do that right here on the page.

Our next show is July 10th, 2022. We’re doing a Win-A-Box tournament @Pescadon once again. We have prizes for the top 8. And even if you don’t make it to the top 8 you’ll still walk away with 2 Booster Packs.

It’s time for me to get back to work. I’ll keep you all updated.
