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.

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?

Win-A-Box

If you can, but how will you know if you don’t try?

July 10th, 2022

We’ll be holding a Tournament along with Game Knight Chicago once again. Prizes for Top 8 once again. That means you’ll have a decent chance to walk away with something. Plus, you’ll get a couple of packs just for entering. Plenty of Vendors will be present once again. We’re sure someone there will have something that you’re looking for.

Let’s get down to it.

Emissaries of Light – Light & Dark Thoughts

16-127L – Warrior of Light

Throw Warrior of Light into a Chocobo deck, and have Warrior of Light attack with almost unlimited power. 15000 power does not sound unreasonable here.

Once you have all your Chocobos on the field, You’ll attack with Warrior of Light, and during your opponents turn you will remove Warrior of Light from the game, granting protection to all your Forwards. None can be broken. …. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ll have to look into this, and I’ll update this if it’s wrong.

But, if I’m right, after your opponent is done swinging, you’ll have a full board of feathered Chocobos to take down your opponent.

16-128H – Bartz

This is one card that needs the Full Art treatment,

At 1CP/5K, Bartz doesn’t seem that strong, but his abilities are pretty decent.

You can Break a Forward for 4CP. That in itself is worth trying this card out.

And, once Bartz is in the Break Zone, you can pay 2CP and hopefully grab a card from your deck. We say hopefully, because you reveal the top 5 cards and see if you find a Job Warrior of Light.

16-129L – Chaos

Is this the answer to Soiree?

It, can be. If you know your opponent(S) will most likely be playing Soiree, the cost for Chaos is reduced immensely. You might even be able to play Chaos for free if they have all 6 elements on the board.

As soon as Chaos enters the field you can grab one of your opponents Forwards. They get to choose.

During your next turn, you can chuck that Forward and Break another Forward.

Maybe it’s not the whole answer, but you’ll be able to get rid of a couple of Forwards.

16-130H – Twintania

A Monster/Forward Beast, that can constantly target a Forward your opponent controls and deal it 7K damage.

Gigaflare Counters will be a hot commodity when your playing Twintania, as each Gigaflare counter equals 7000 damage. GigaFlare and attack.

I’ll take 3.
