25-052R – Ursula
Here’s a card that Yang LB can play early on.
When Ursula comes in from Yang’s ability she will search for a Monk. Making her a +2CP play.
All that’s left to do is bulk up Ursula a bit and have her attack. For when she does, you will pick a Forward and they will deal damage to each other. Hopefully Ursula has more power than the other Forward. If not, at least she’ll take out a good chunk.
But, maybe you want to break Ursula, just so you can bring her back and search for another Monk.
Or, maybe you should just stick with Opus XI Ursula.
25-053H – Atomos
This will be fun to play.
Just to mention it once more, Atomos has a way of getting rid of your Backups, when you want to make room for them. And, if you do get rid of a Backup Atomos’s cost is reduced by 2CP making him a ! cost Summon.
And, for that 1CP, you will deal damage to one of your Forwards, equal to the amount of cards that you have in your Break Zone.
Period.
Deal 49K damage to that one Forward just because you can.
Yeah, if you have 49 cards in your Break Zone, you’re probably losing the game.
While it’s fun to imagine an attack with that power, it’ll probably never happen.
25-054C – Vincent
At 2CP Vincent is cheap and a card that you can throw into any Earth deck. He plays well alone, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise since he spent most of his life sleeping in a coffin.
Vincent comes in with First Strike, and whenever Vincent attacks, he gains +4000 power, making him a 9K body, which can take down most of the opposition.
Are we done?
Nope, Vincent also has the ability to deal a Forward damage equal to his power. But the cost is high, and I don”t think that I would use that.
But, 2CP for a 9K attack, I’ll pay for that.
25-055C – Wererat
There’s a rat infestation, but not just any rats it’s Wererats.
This one might be of use though.
Wererat comes with 2 abilities. One gives one of your Forwards +1000 power, the other gives that Forward +2000 power.
Depending on the situation, both abilities can help one of your Forwards survive a block, or an attack.
Wererat might be helpful in some situations.
25-056L – Wol
I don’t know, I wouldn’t call this a Legend.
I’d say Wol, is a glorified Meat Shield, that can protect one of your Forwards from being sent to the Break Zone.
But, there is Blurred Strikes which can help you get a couple of cards.
If you decide to use Blurred Strike, you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck and add 2 of them not named Wol to your hand, the rest go to the Break Zone.
I’ve been wrong about cards before.
25-057R – Cutter
All that hardware, just to make Cole Slaw.
Cutter will slice and dice and shred all of your opponent’s dull Forwards, and send them to the Break Zone.
And when you’re done with that. Cutter can turn into a Forward and deal your opponent even more damage.
Which is something you would like to do, to try and get rid of Cutter in order to play it again.
Not a bad Monster, and there are ways to get Cutter back from the Break Zone as well.
25-058C – Black Belt
Your Tears of the Planet basic Backup that exists in all elements.
Black Belt is Earth.
You can either Break a dull Forward with 7000 power or less. Or, you can draw a card.
Black Belt can be useful in different situations, and should be considered for Sealed.
As we’ve said before, for 3CP you can do far worse.
25-059C – Cait Sith
This card is interesting. And, you don’t even need Cait Sith to play in a FFVII deck. You can just add him to any Earth deck and you’ll do fine.
Cait Sith comes in and you can play a Character of 2CP or less from your hand straight to the field. Making Cait SIth’s cost come down to 1CP.
And, when you’re done with that, you can just send Cait Sith into the Break Zone and grab a FFVII Character.
Yes, I did say you don’t need to play Cait Sith in a FFVII themed deck, but what’s to stop you from grabbing Cait Sith back from the Break Zone in order to play him again.
25-060H – General EX
How come I don’t remember this Character?
After looking it up I remember battling him, but that’s about it. Minor Boss that gives you Excalibur. But, we’re not talking about Final Fantasy III, were talking about FFTCG!
General comes in with Brave, and 9000 power making him a great Meat Shield.
If General leave the field for any reason, you can grab a Warrior from the Break Zone and add it to your hand.
General does have protection from your opponent’s Summons in that he cannot be chosen by them, and if General is dealt damage by your opponent’s Summons that damage becomes 0.
It’ll be hard to get General to leave the field, but hey you can search for a Warrior if General is in the Damage Zone.
25-061R – Scarmiglione
The Archfiends are getting some great cards this set.
Scarmiglione is the Forward that you never knew you needed.
For 1CP Scarmiglione can come in during your opponent’s turn with Back Attack, protecting one of your Forwards from damage reducing it by 2000. This could be just enough to keep that Forward from breaking.
Now, if that Forward is Golbez, Golbez will not be able to be chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities as well.
And, Scarmiglione will only cost you 1CP, that is nothing compared to the Forward that he will save.
Only draw back is that Scarmiglione only has 3000 power, but that can be good as well. All you need to do is block with Scarmiglione in order to send this Archfiend to the Break Zone, just so you can play another Scarmiglione onto the field when needed to.
25-062C – Sophie
Sophie comes in for 4CP, once she’s in you can either play a MOBIUS Forward of 3 or less onto the field, or you can search for 2 Sophies and add them to your hand.
Your total cost will come down to 1CP, or it will be a Free Play. Either way Sophie is a steal, as you’ll have an 8K body on the field.
Notice how I didn’t say Meat Shield?
Well that’s because Sophie has Thor’s Hammer. You can use it to deal some big damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards,and depending on how many Backups you have on the field, Sophie can deal that forward up to 15,000 damage. there’s a 99.9999999% chance that, that Forward will be sent to the Break Zone.
You’ll want to grab a bunch of Sophie’s and add them to your deck.
25-063C – SOLDIER Candidate
We’re getting some more SOLDIER Candidates.
This one comes in with Brave, and for 2CP you get a 5K body.
If you already have a SOLDIER Candidate in your Break Zone, this Candidate gains +2000 power, giving it a 7K body.
And, we’re not even done.
When SOLDIER Candidate attacks, all the SOLDIER Candidates gain +1000 power.
You can have 3 of these on the field at the same time, and if they all attack, all of your SOLDIER Candidates will gain +3000 power before they attack.
SOLDIER might be recruiting some strong Candidates.
25-064C – Dyne
You’re Dyne to know what this card does!
Yeah, that was terrible.
First off you won’t be playing Dyne in the begining of the game.
At least not till you have 5 Backups on the field. Cause if you don’t Dyne is just a high cost Meat Shield.
Once you do have 5 Backups on the field, you can play Dyne and you’ll choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and Dyne and that Forward will deal damage to each other.
So, it would be wise to choose a Forward with less power than Dyne.
And, at 3 points of Damage Dyne gains +1000 power. I would have changed this a little, and say if a certain FFVIII child was on the field. But, that would contain some Spoilers.
25-065R – Tifa
How many Final Fantasy VII Characters can you cast each turn?
Tifa will deal (3000 times each FFVII Character that entered the field this turn) damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards at the begining of every Attack Phase. That could mean that you can be breaking one of their Forwards, once per Attack Phase.
And, that’s not all.
Whenever Tifa attacks, all of your FFVII Forwards gain +2000 power.
You can throw Tifa into any Final Fantasy VII themed deck, and she will do wonders.
25-066L – Barret
6CP?
Yes, and it is worth it.
Barret comes in, and searches for Marlene, or a AVALANCHE Operative of 4 or less, and they go straight to the field. And, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking. You will grab Marlene.
Once Marlene enters the field you will go into your Break Zone and grab Tifa, or Cloud, or Aerith, or Barret, but we’re going to stick with Tifa. Tifa 25-065R to be exact.
This makes Barret a Free Play, as you get your 4CP back when you play Marlene on the field, and the other 2CP come back when you grab Tifa from the Break Zone. Or, Aerith, or Cloud, or Barret.
Now if you followed these instructions, at the begining of the Attack Phase, Tifa will deal 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards. And, if you already have another 4 Final Fantasy VII Characters on the field, Barret will also deal 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.
What’s not to like?
Oh, and Barret has Brave.
25-067H – Rikku
Now this is a card that could see regular play.
Rikku comes in and plays a 3 cost Backup from your hand onto the field. Which in turn turns Rikku into a Free Play. And if the card you play draws you a card, or searches for a card, you’re coming out positive in your CP spending.
And, it doesn’t need to be an Earth Backup or an FFX Backup.
And when that Backup, or any other Backup enters the field, all the FFX Forwards that you control gain +2000 power and Brave.
Now think if you play another Backup. That’s +4000.
25-068C – Luca
We haven’t seen Luca since Opus XI, and she’s back ready to find a 2 cost Character from the top 5 cards of your deck. If you find one congratulations, you just paid 1CP to cast Luca.
Other than that, Luca will give a Forward of 2CP or less +1000 power. You can use this ability once per turn.
I don’t know if this will be much use.
But, there are worse ways to spend 3CP.
We’re about 2 weeks away from release.

An honest maiden, wise to the value of the heart.
A young summoner, able to call Eidolons from the Feymarch. Rydia bears hatred for Cecil, who indirectly killed her mother and set her village ablaze. But over time she is touched by the Dark Knight’s kindness, and opens her heart to him. Rydia is swallowed by Leviathan, king of the Eidolons, and is taken to the Feymarch, where time flows at a different rate. As a result, she matures into an adult in a very short time. Rydia rushes back to aid Cecil’s party when Golbez attacks them, rejoining their quest for the crystals.
-Taken from the Ultimania
You’ll first meet Rydia after you burned down her whole village, and as she is the sole survivor of Mist Village, she will attack you.
And with that, we’ll get into the cards.
“All that matters is what’s inside us. Isn’t that right, Cecil?”
2-094H – Rydia
Looking to add something a little extra to your Mono-Earth Summon Heavy deck? Well, look no further, Rydia here might be just what you’re looking for.
At 3CP, with a 7K body Rydia might not seem like much wight out the bat, but take a closer look at Gaia’s Wrath.
Gaia’s Wrath deals 7000 damage to every Forward on the field except for Earth Forwards. Which is why we said Mono-Earth.
Now, you’re probably wondering about the Summon Heavy part. Well that’s quite simple.
You can pay the (S) cost of Rydia’s ability with an Earth Summon, instead of another Rydia. Meaning, you might be able to cast Gaia’s Wrath once per turn.
You’ll eventually turn the tides in your favor with that.
“Enough! I can’t watch another person go off to die.”
2-095R – Rydia EX
After you’ve used all of your Summons, Rydia will go into the Feymarch (your Break Zone) and bring back a Summon for you.
Yes, it needs to be an Earth Summon.
And, yes this also comes off of an EX Burst.
And, yes you get this Backup for 4CP.
And, yes that’s about it.
“Coward, You’re a man, aren’t you? A grown man! Stop crying. I have.”
3-096R – Rydia
This one’s much better than the previous Rydia.
For 3CP you can search for any Summon that you’d like, and this Rydia only costs 3CP, making her total cost 1CP.
Sure, you can’t bring a Summon back from the Break Zone, but most of the time you probably won’t need to.
Unless the other 2 copies of that Summon end up in your Damage Zone.
“This battle is ours as much as anyone’s. Cecil said so himself. And having some Eidolons along can’t hurt, can it?”
9-077L -Rydia
Now this is a great card.
That is if you’re playing Summons.
Rydia comes in and you can look at the top 5 cards of your deck, If you find a Summon there you will cast it for free. And, there are a lot of High cost Summons that you can play.
Depending on what you find at the top of your deck, Rydia is the bargain that you’ve been looking for.
We’re not even done yet.
You can also use Rydia’s ability to look at the top X cards of your deck, and if you find a Summon that costs X or less you can cast it.
Yes, this one is more of a crap shoot, but once Rydia’s ability goes off when she enters the field, you’ll be in the money.
After that, everything else is extra.
You can probably just find a way to break Rydia, just to be able to play another Rydia.
“Think it’s sweet of you to say that, hotshot?”
11-083R/PR-051 – Rydia
Remember that time you were thinking of playing Monks, with Ursula and Yang?
Well, this is a card that you would have been playing if you did. And, if you didn’t, this is still a good Final Fantasy IV card.
Rydia gives all of the Final Fantasy IV Forwards, besides herself +1000 power and Brave.
And, if you play here after you already have 3 other FFIV Characters on the field, you can search for a 1 cost Summon, making her total cost 1.
Mono-Earth FFIV Monks with Cecil.
Plus there’s a whole lot of other FFIV Earth Characters that you can play.
Best thing is that you don’t need to limit yourself to Earth. I don’t even know why I started going on about Mono-Earth.
“I’m going to become a summoner just like my mother!”
13-065R – Rydia
“I don’t know if Rydia is cost effective. 6CP to play a summon without paying the cost. I’ll pass.”
I used to be terrible at this.
To be fair, I would probably say something along the same lines.
Unless there is a way to place Summon Counters on Rydia, this is a one trick pony.
I’d say you’re better off using that 6CP to play Opus IX Rydia.
I’ll leave it at that.
“Leave me alone! I hate you!”
15-083L – Rydia
Rydia already has self protection against Summons and abilities.
Rydia gains 2 Growth counters when she or another FFIV Character enters the field.
Rydia can cast a Summon once per turn by paying with Growth counters.
Rydia is a 2CP Forward.
Rydia is a Legend.
I like Rydia (15-083L)
“Are you mad?”
17-083C – Rydia
We all now that Raise is a high cost spell, and that is basically what Rydia is.
For 5CP, you can bring back a Forward that has just been broken, or knocked out, if you want to use the Raise term.
And, that is basically it. You get one chance to use Rydia, unless you have a way to get rid of her after she enters the field.
There are other ways to get a Forward back from the Break Zone, and Rydia is probably not the best one.
“Are you joking? It’s a miracle Zemus didn’t end up using you!”
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.
At least the art work is good.
“That was an awfully fast recovery.”
19-068R – Rydia
A 5 cost Backup, that searches for a Job Summoner, and a Summon.
Both need to be of different elements.
Other than that, the art looks good, almost reminds you of Amano’s work.
Sort of.
It seams like they can’t top Opus IX Rydia, or Opus XV Rydia.

Peerless beauty, braving dangers for love.
A beautiful White Mage with a talent for the bow. A childhood friend of both Cecil and Kain, Rosa gives her heart to Cecil and assists him on his adventure as a White Mage. She leaves the castle out of concern for Cecil when he vanishes following the mission to Mist Village. Rosa reunites with Cecil, but Golbez takes her prisoner. After Cecil rescues Rosa, the two realize their feelings for one another. They fight side by side until the end.
-Taken from the Ultimania
As we wait for Cecil to find the Sand Ruby for Rosa, we’ll check out all of Rosa’s cards throughout the series.
2-143R – Rosa
Rosa is always ready to protect you.
For 3CP you get a Backup, that whenever one of your Forwards is chosen by one of your opponent’s Summons, you draw a card.
And, maybe that card that you draw will help you cancel your opponent’s Summon.
We also have Protect. You can use this ability and the next time one of your Forwards is dealt damage and that damage is less than their power, that damage becomes 0.
Other than the fact that you can draw a card each time your Forwards are being chosen by your opponent’s Summons, I’d leave this one out.
Opus I Minwu does a better job at protecting your front line.
“I knew you’d come for me.”
2-144C – Rosa
A 1 cost Forward that gives Cecil +1000 power.
And, this time Rosa has Mini-Protect.
By dulling Rosa, you can reduce the damage dealt to one of your Forwards by 1000. It’s not a lot, but sometimes that will be the difference in your Forwards surviving a block. You’ll get to keep your Forward instead of just trading cards with your opponent.
After that, Rosa is a body on the field, until you get the Rosa that you wanted to play from the begining.
“…Uhn … Cecil … Please, Cecil… Be alive!”
5-142H – Rosa EX
This is what happens when you give Rosa the Sand Ruby.
Rosa searches for Cecil and she brings him to your hand. Bringing Rosa’s cost down to 2CP. You can even search for Cecil off of an EX Burst.
You’ll then have a body with 5000 power on the field, which you will be able to reduce the damage dealt to one of your Forwards by 1000, if that Forward is Cecil reduce it by 3000 instead.
Play this with Opus II Cecil, and I think you’ll have something to work with.
“Without me along, who will heal you when you’re hurt?”
9-120L – Rosa
How did I forget about this card?
For 3CP you get a great card. A legend. The White Mage Rosa.
Rosa reduces the damage dealt to all of your Forwards by 1000, Yes, that has been the case with the previous Rosas, but this Rosa is also a great attacker.
If Rosa forms a party and attacks, you will activate Rosa, where she will be able to attack one more time. Which she will form a party and attack. She will activate one more time, but I doubt she’ll be able to attack again. Even though the wording makes it seem like she should be able to.
“I say we Pray!
PRAY.
Pray,
PRAY.
I say we Pray, just to make it today!”
It’s like MC Hammer already knew about this card in the early 90s.
If you’re playing Mono Water, you will be playing this Rosa. Use Pray to activate all of your Forwards. As long as you have an extra Rosa in your hand, you can go all out and attack.
After that you’ll Pray, and activate all of your Forwards, and they’ll be able to block during your opponent’s turn.
“Then why won’t you look at me?”
11-126R – Rosa EX
Rosa stands behind Cecil through the thick and thin. And, if you play her after you play Cecil, Rosa will allow you to draw a card.
And, if you don’t like that card, you can discard it and draw another card.
And, if you don’t like that one, wait till your next turn and discard it, to draw another card one more time.
Teleport. You finally have an answer to board wipes.
If your opponent plays Opus I Shantotto, you can just have Rosa use Teleport, and return all your Characters to your hand.
But, be careful. You might have a very large hand after that.
And, you know what they say about people with large hands.
They wear big gloves.
“No! Not you, too!”
14-057H – Rosa
Great artwork once again. You can tell apart the Amano artwork. I remember seeing a Magic card with his art on it, and recognized it immediately. But, that’s another story.
Just like we said before, activate all the Backups, if you’ve cast 3 cards this turn.
With Fran (14-052C) you’ll also draw 1 card.
All those activations will lead you into a 5th card cast this turn, which you’ll end up playing the top card of your deck. Unless it’s a Summon. Then it just goes back to the tops of your deck.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
16-063R – Rosa
The missing piece of Cecil and Ceodore.
Rosa comes in and keeps feeding Ceodore and Cecil, to power them up just a little bit to help them survive or take down your opponents Forwards.
A simple 2 cost Backup, that will still provide you with 1 CP per turn.
“As long as there is darkness…”
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.
Plus, you have an 8000 powered body. All this for 4CP.
“Cecil! I’ll visit you in your tower later.”
20-125R – Rosa
Here is the missing piece for the ultimate FFIV deck.
You can actually splash any element that you’s like, without worrying about how you’re going to pay for the cost. No more relying on Tyro, and how are you going to get Tyro on the field if you’re not playing Earth.
For 1CP you get to play Rosa and draw a card when Cecil enters the field.
All you got to do is find a way to recycle Cecil.
We did say that Water is the Recycling center, right?
