Getting the Hang of It

The Community Market has come and gone.

It was a small one, but we still had fun. Just like we always do. We ended up buying out another vendor’s booth. Why, you ask? Because he was selling Pokemon cards next to us. So, keep an eye out on the site, and on our eBay store for some nice Pokemon cards that we will be listing.

There is still plenty of demand for Brilliant Stars. Half of the people that came by the booth was asking about Brilliant Stars. And there was none, anywhere. If I had it in stock, which is nearly impossible at the moment. We would have had a Brilliant amount of Dollars.

Other notes from last time.

Pokemon was still the top seller. MetaZoo flopped, Weiss Schwarz showed some life, And Final Fantasy TCG had the most expensive item sold. Flesh and Blood, Magic and Cardfight were all flops as well.

I did manage to add a couple more Mimikyus to my collection. Now I don’t have to open up a box of Brilliant Stars, but I still want to.

The next Convention is right around the corner. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date. In T-minus tomorrow.

Master of the Shijin

“… It is time to reap your reward.”

Kirin

6CP – Earth
Forward
Category : XI
Job : Kirin
Legend
9000 Power

Brave

“Kirin cannot become dull by your opponent’s Summons or abilities.

The Job Shijin Forwards you control gain +1000 power.

When Kirin enters the field, reveal the top 5 cards of your deck. Play 1 Forward of cost 4 among them and return the other cards to the bottom of your deck in any order.”

This will make some interesting play. I was just talking about how they should make an Archfiends deck. And, they listened. Sort of. We now have Kirin & the Shijins, coming to a bar near you. Playing all your favorite oldies. Ok, I got a little carried away.

Kirin comes in lets you hopefully play a Shijin from your deck to the field, and give all the Shijins +1K. And since he comes in with Brave, and cannot become dull by Summons or abilities, Kirin looks like he’ll be around for a long time.

Now let’s take a look at the Shijin.

Suzaku, Seiryu, Byakko and Genbu.

They all have one ability that reads. “If you have a Job Shijin in your Break Zone, the cost required to cast (card name) can be paid with CP of any Element.” Why is this important? It’s the basis of the whole strategy. You shall quickly discard the First Shijin to pay for Kirin, and hopefully you’ll find a Shijin.

And can’t forget about the EX Burst “When (card name) enters the field, you may search for 1 Job Shijin Forward other than Card Name (card name) and add it to your hand.” You’re already adding Shijins to your hand after you, hopefully, play one from Kirin’s ability. You’re likely to swarm the board pretty quickly here.

But, that’s not all.

Each Shijin also has a 3rd ability.

Suzaku – “When Suzaku attacks, choose 1 Forward deal it 5000 damage.”

Seiryu – “Seiryu cannot be chosen by your opponent’s abilities.”

Byakko – “When Byakko attacks, choose 1 Forward. Dull it.”

Genbu – “If Genbu is dealt damage, reduce the damage by 3000 instead.”

Other than searching for each other, these cards really don’t play well together. But, I’m sure with help from other cards these can do some damage to your opponent.

Delays, and More Delays

Still, no date in sight.

Even though they were scheduled to be released in February. The FFX Custom Starter Sets are no where to be seen. But, that doesn’t mean that I won’t get a call in the next 5 minutes telling me that they have just arrived to the distribution company.

What does this tell me?

I’m guessing that Emissaries of Light will also be delayed further than the previous stated dates. I hope I’m wrong and they show up as planned, because it’s hard to plan Release Events when you don’t know when the product will arrive.

Energy Rain

I like it. The card. Not Tidus, but I can respect him as a Character.

Tidus – 16-116L
Water
Forward
Guardian
Category : DFF – X
Power 7000
Legend

“Tidus cannot be blocked.

When Tidus is put from the field into it’s owner’s deck, draw 3 cards.

When Tidus is chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities, you may put Tidus at the bottom of it’s owner’s deck. When you do so, choose 1 Forward opponent controls. Put it at the bottom of it’s owner’s deck.”

What an interesting card.

Tidus here does what Tidus does. If you already read Richelle’s article I won’t repeat what he said, but I was going to say the same things. Now I must try and find another way to word it.

First off Tidus’ 3 abilities are great on their own. Unblockable Forward with built in protection that will have your opponent struggling to keep him of the field.

The best part of this card is that, even though he only has 7000 power it doesn’t really matter because he can’t get hit. So, buffing him up wouldn’t really matter.

Between this Tidus and the Starter, they’re both great cards. It’ll be hard to choose which one to play. But, I believe this one has the edge.

Just don’t forget to play Brother (1-197S) which will allow you to search for Tidus whenever you play him.

Let us know what you think, in the comments.

Magic Hammer

Don’t look to closely into the Possessed Bookshelf.

Byblos – 16-038H
Monster
Evil Spirit
Category : V
Power : 7000
Hero

“When your opponent discards 1 or more cards from their hand due to your Summons or abilities, choose 1 Forward opponent controls. Dull it and Freeze it.

Damage 3 – (0): Until the end of the turn, Byblos also becomes a Forward with 7000 power and “When Byblos attacks, your opponent discards 1 card from their hand.” You can only use this ability once per turn.”

There we have it. A card that does not need any support from other cards. Byblos’ ability can go off with no help from another card. If you’re at 3 points of Damage, that is. Turn him into a Forward and attack. Your opponent will discard a card from their hand, and then you get to chose 1 of their Forwards and Dull, and Freeze it.

Other than that simply pop Byblos into any Discard deck and you are good to go. You’ll be draining your opponents resources in no time.
