The Warriors

Since Benjamin is the only Mystic Quest Character, we’ll have to do this deck a little bit different. We can see that Benjamin is a Warrior, so what better time to do a Warrior tribal deck than now?

We’re starting off with Benjamin (16-076C) well because he is the Warrior that will be built around. How easy is it going to be? I guess we’ll find out.

We’re starting off with a card that we haven’t really used, but looks like the perfect candidate for The Warriors. Maria (17-128L) Giving all of your 2 cost Forwards (or less) +2000 power. And, we know for sure there are plenty of Warriors that cost 2CP. Warrior (2-010C), Warrior (5-014C) and Warrior (8-013C). Plus Maria can turn a Backup into a Forward with 8K power, and if it’s a 2 cost Backup it will also gain another 2000 power. We’ll just add Warrior (11-010C) and Warrior (17-069C). We’ll also add Delita (1-113C) because of this and Wol (13-117R).

Since we have Wol, we’ll add Graff (13-057H) which will give all of your Earth Forwards +2000 power along with your Mobius Characters.

Firion (15-081C) because we have a Rebel in Maria, and that gives Firion a buff and Brave.

Ward (6-001C) as he gives all the Job Warriors +2000 Power.

Warrior of Light (14-004C) all your Standard Units +1000 power, and at 3 points of damage, it will become a total 0f +3000 power.

We need to be able to produce Lightning CP to play Wol, so we’ll grab Class Tenth Moogle (9-074C).

Backups we’re grabbing Miner (5-082C) to grab a Backup and a Forward from the Break Zone, if needed.

Ingus (13-055C), will give a Standard Unit +1000 power and Brave, once per turn.

As for Summons we’ll go with Alexander EX (13-053R) and Titan (17-070R). We’re just going with Summons that will give your Forwards a buff.

Forwards

3x – Delita (1-113C)
2x – Warrior (2-010C)
2x – Warrior (5-014C)
2x – Warrior (8-013C)
3x – Wol (13-117R)
3x – Maria (17-128L)
3x – Graff (13-057H)
3x – Firion (15-081C)
3x – Ward (6-001C)
3x – Warrior of Light (14-004C)
3x – Benjamin (16-073C)

Backups

3x – Class Tenth Moogle (9-074C)
3x – Warrior (11-010C)
3x – Ingus (13-055C)
3x – Warrior (17-069C)
3x – Miner (5-082C)

Summons

3x – Alexander EX (13-053R)
2x – Titan (17-070R)

Plan here is to Swarm your opponent with low cost Forwards that receive Buffs left and right and from across the stream.

What would you do differently?

The Curious Card of Benjamin

5CP/Earth
Forward
Warrior
Common

Damage 3 ― Benjamin gains +1000 power and Brave.
Damage 5 ― When Benjamin enters the field, choose 1 dull Character opponent controls. Break it.

Let’s take a look at what we wrote when Emissaries of Light came out.

“They finally added a Mystic Quest character to the game. All we need now is 8bit FFI characters. Come on Square-Enix you can do it.

High cost, high power. And Benjamin gets stronger at 3 points of Damage.

Throw him in late in the game and you’ll also Break one of your opponents dull Forwards.”

Can’t say that much has changed since Emissaries of Light came out.

Benjamin is a Common, so he doesn’t have any great abilities to help you out until you get 5 points of damage. But he is a great meat shield, even if he costs 5CP, he’ll still take a hit and stay standing.

Benjamin

“My allowance is only 2GP a month!”

“While on a solitary journey, this young lad is caught by catastrophe. Meeting a mysterious old man, he learns of the danger threatening the world and the possibility that there might just be a hero within him…”

– CollectaCard

We don’t know much about Benjamin’s past.

Benjamin’s story starts off when his village is destroyed, and an old man on a cloud tells him he is the chosen one, destined to defeat the Vile Four and save the Crystals.

Benjamin meets various Characters throughout the game that help him out. Kaeli, Tristam, Phoebe and Reuben. The four come in and out of the party throughout the game, with Kaeli being Benjamin’s main ally.

Busters R’ Us

This could have been a real easy article to write. I could have just said let’s throw Zack into your AVALANCHE deck and call it a day. But, where’s the fun in that?

Although there might be a bunch of cards that are the same, we”re going to try and do this a bit different. A lot different that is.

We’re going to go with 2 different Zacks.

Zack (10-007H), just for the ability to ping damage here and there and at least a couple of time per turn. Pair that with a Summon that Breaks all the Forwards that have damage on them and you got yourself a wipe.

Zack (20-009L) Because it is just a great card, if you’re running anything SOLDIER related. And, we’ll be running at least a couple of Soldiers other than Zack.

We’ll start off with Zack’s mentor Angeal (3-0989R), not only is he a 7K body, but he also searches for Zack when he is sent to the Break Zone. That way you can just keep attacking with Zack and Angeal until they break, just so you can replay them once again.

Next we’ll be handing off the Buster Sword to Cloud (1-187S), and you’ll be saying that there are better Clouds than that, and we’ll say you’re right. But, this is Zack’s deck and Cloud is just helping out. Plus the good Cloud’s are Earth, and we don’t really feel like color fixing.

Time to find Zack’s girlfriend, Aerith (11-139S) this way we’ll be able to grab a couple of FFVII Forwards from the Break Zone.

And as I’m looking for Backups, there aren’t really any, that have anything to do with Zack. So, we’re going to change it. It shall be all Forwards. We might change this again later.

Cue the music.

Bum-Bum Bum-Bum Bum-Bum Bum-Bum

Sephiroth (11-138S), Dulls all the low powered Forwards every time Sephiroth attacks. You have to pay taxes to keep Sephiroth on the field, 3 cards from the Break Zone. You should have these in there, unless you’re opponent finds a way to remove all the cards from your Break Zone.

Roche (14-095H), we’re just grabbing any SOLDIER right now. Roche has always been a great card. You’ll always want to go first with Roche and just play him right away for no CP and swing for a point of damage.

We’re actually going to add a couple of Backups right now.

Class Second Moogle (10-016C) to help us with Ice CP.

Genesis (3-033L), I still love this card, even though I probably haven’t used it in years. Dull and Freeze a Character, and when Genesis deals damage, your opponent discards a card.

Next we’ll add in our generic SOLDIERs. SOLDIER : 3rd Class (10-009C) and SOLDIER : 3rd Class (20-02C). These 2 will search for each other when one enters the field, and when the other exits the field. SOLDIER : 3rd Class (20-032C) also gains a +1K buff for each SOLDIER : 3rd class that you have in the Break Zone.

We’ll add Johnny (20-096C), another Backup to help us grab a Character from the Break Zone, and we can use his ability to grab a FFVII Character from the Break Zone.

Hedgehog Pie (20-019C), just to get all 3 of the Hedgehog Pies out at the same time. After that they are ticking time bombs, that go off when you decide you want them to go off.

Duke Larg (1-057R), Lebreau (1-030R) and Lulu (1-150R). All three for the 1K buff they give to their respective element’s Forwards.

All we need is to throw in some Summons. Knights of the Round isn’t an option, so we’ll just go with Ramuh (15-101R), Shiva (8-032R), Phoenix (3-020H) and Bahamut (16-016C).
