What Happened?

If you’ve been wondering were all the content has gone, we were working behind the scenes here. Re-organizing the office. And, we’re not even half-way done. But, It’s just something we have to do from time to time. Not just re-organizing, but we painted and got the carpets cleaned. And now it smells better.

Well as you might have heard, we will be hosting a pre-release event, but the date might be different than what we had planned. From what I here there is a delay in the shipments. Not by Square-Enix or the distributor, but if you watch the news at all, you would have seen that there are over 80 Cargo ships waiting to enter the Port of Los Angeles. We’ll make the announcement as soon as we know when the kits will be coming in.

Speaking of which, the Shinra vs Avalanche Dual Decks are coming out this month. If there is a delay on those we will know for certain that there will be one for Crystal Dominion as well.

War of the Visions you ask?

-Spoiler Alert-

Like I said before the game has started to grow on me. Mont has just become King. That is where I am at, at the moment. The scene between Mont and Sterne, in my eyes, was the end of the Prologue. The war that will start between the two brothers looks to be interesting.

There are plenty of characters that I like. Dorando and Gargas. Who would have thought that these two would be taking care of a little boy, and entrusting him with one of the ancient relics?

Gilgamesh, the Winged one. Such a powerful card in FFTCG, you can see why they made the card the way they did.

Helena, the Black Rose. Presumably dead. I haven’t seen much of her after she died as the Queen, but whenever I use her as a companion she annihilates the opposition. I can have just Helena on the battlefield and she’ll take care of everything for me.

-End Spoilers-

One more thing.

Do you got something you would like to share with the world? About Final Fantasy TCG, Final Fantasy in general or any other TCGs out there. Well drop us a line. Here, or hit the Contact us in the Menu and let us know through there. We’ll probably give it it’s own post as well.

Looking to hear from you.

Thief of all Trades

Well, I was going to write an article for each of the Legends in Opus XIV, for Card of the Week, but decided against it, as I would have jutst been pairing them back and forth with each other. I figured it out when I was about to start writing the article for Ravana, but decided against it when I was just going to pair him with Gilgamesh (FFBE).

So, I just decided to write about a card that I liked. Zidane

2CP – Wind/Water
Forward
Job : Thief
Category : IX
Hero
6000 Power

“Zidane cannot be blocked.

When Zidane deals damage to your opponent, choose up to 1 Forward. Return it to its owner’s hand.

Steal(S)(Wi): Your opponent reveals their hand. Select 1 card in their hand. Your opponent removes it from the game. You can cast it as though you owned it this turn. You an only use this ability during your turn.”

Zidane cannot be blocked. Half the time Zidane attacks will go through and you’ll get to choose 1 Forward and return it to their owner’s hand. Sometimes your opponent might use a Summon or ability. Which does not mean that Zidane will be broken.

And, Steal. Well it’s like playing Lani (12-018H), but this time both you and your opponent know what card it is. Which might give you the advantage as they might not execute their plan as they know you have an Ace up your sleeve.

I would have said just stick Zidane in a YRP deck but that would be too simple. You would be able to replace Zidane with any card and get the same effect.

But, Wind Water is the way to go.

Viking (4-133C) is a perfect choice. Whenever Zidane deals damage you can return Viking to your hand, Draw a card, and replay Viking to draw another card. Since your playing Viking, you need Leila (6-126R), just to be able to grab Viking back from the Break Zone, to be returned to hand by Zidane, to be played onto the field. And in that one turn you will have drawn 3 extra cards. 4 if you count the block on your opponents turn.

Chocobos, Zidane would be a good fit in here as well. You can return Chocobo (6-050C) to your hand, then dull Chocobo Knight (5-061C), to play Chocobo, and then play another Chocobo. Easy way to storm the field.

And of course, as always Maria (1-083H) for the +1K power. Even though Zidane can’t be blocked it’s always a good idea for extra fire power.

How would you use Zidane? Let us know in the comments.

Up on Cloud 9

The card you’ve all been waiting for. Ex-SOLDIER, Mercenary for Hire, Cloud!!!

On to the card

4CP/Earth
Forward
Job : SOLDIER
Category : DFF – VII
Legend
8000 Power

“If your opponent controls any Forwards, Cloud gains +2000 Power.

When Cloud attacks, choose 1 Forward. It gains “If possible, this Forward must block.” until the end of the turn.
Discard 1 Category VII card: Until the end of the turn, Cloud gains +1000 power and “Cloud cannot be chosen by your opponent’s abilities.”

There you have it, the card everyone is looking for in this set. Well, not this one, but the Full Art Foil. Just looking at the art work on this card, Cloud performing his Cross-Slash. It’s just a great looking card.

All you need is your opponent to control 1 Forward and Cloud immediately becomes a 10k body. Add Enna Kross (1-095R) for another 1k, and you have a powerful Forward that will start picking off your opponents Forwards one by one.

And since you’re playing Cloud, you know you need Tifa (14-120H), who searches for Cloud and gives him +1K every time Cloud attacks. Or any other Forward as well. Barret (14-121L) will let you grab Tifa from the Break Zone to search for Cloud when you play her.

If you want to play a FFVII themed deck, you’ll need to add the other members of AVALANCHE as well, Jessie (4-082C) to reduce the cost for Cloud and Barret, Wedge (4-076R) to search for either Tifa or Barret. And, Biggs? You can probably leave him out for now, unless we get a better Biggs in the AVALANCHE Vs. Shinra Deck that is coming out soon.

Marlene (8-085C) is also a good choice allowing you to grab Aerith, Cloud, Barret or Tifa from the Break Zone. Vincent (9-026H) to recycle Marlene after you grabbed a card from the Break Zone. You might as well play Yuffie (3-069C), simply for the fact that she is a free card is Vincent is on the field.

Plenty of other cards to play as well, I’m sure you have your own ideas as well. Let us know in the Comments.

Emissaries of Light

We finally got the reveal of “Opus XVI”!!!

But, it’s not Opus XVI anymore, no more Opus. There is only the title now. Emissaries of Light. Serah shares the Box Art with her sister Lightning and, this is the 4th time Lightning appears on the Box. 3 times more than anybody else.

Release Date is set for March 25th, 2022. Emissaries of Light comes with 130 cards. Plus the 10 Starter cards in the FFX Custom Deck. And we get 166 Premium cards. Or Foils. 24 of the Foils will be Full Arts. That leaves us with 2 cards. Which are most likely the Premium Crystal Cards that will make their first appearance in “Crystal Dominion”.

The sample artwork we got is, once again a card from each element. Other than the cover art card, which will probably be Serah, just because of the Ice element, unless the have the Farron Sisters as one card. Luneth, Fire original art there. Sort of looks like Tom Cruise from “Interview with a Vampire” Wind gives us Cecil which is probably the best looking card out of the 6. Layle is the sample Earth card, nice art work there as well as Water, with Sarah from Mobius. And Reeves, looks like a leftover from the Shinra VS AVALANCHE Starter decks. Upon closer look you can tell that Reeves is the only Backup, while the rest are Forwards.

It also looks like some of the Starter cards will get the Full Art Foil treatment, and these ones will also get new artwork.And, we can’t forget about the Legacy Full Arts.

Lightning (1-141L)
Lenna (3-144L)
Vayne (9-022L)

Here’s the link to the original article.

Lord of Crags

It’s all Primals, as far as the eye can see. Titan will shake things up as he enters the field.

On to the card

7CP/Earth
Forward
Job : Primal
Category : XIV
Legend
9000 Power

“When Titan, Lord of Crags enters the field, break all the Forwards with power lass than Titan, Lord of Crags. When 5 or more Forwards are put from the field into the Break Zone by this effect, Titan, Lord of Crags deals your opponent 1 point of damage.”

The way I see it, Titan works like your Opus I Shantotto, but with added benefits. He’s a Forward and he can still knock your opponent silly. Although he might not be able to completely wipe out the board, he is highly likely to deal your opponent a point of Damage for your troubles.

Now. What would you say if we used Heretical Knight Garland (9-061R)? Not a lot of synergy but, you will be playing Garland for 2 CP after you played Titan onto the field.

Earth and Water go pretty good together. Ovelia (13-090L)  might be a good card to play as you can use Aegis on Titan. And when Titan is about to be sent into the Break Zone for any reason, you can bring him back to the field.

Any other suggestions?
