Memories of Ice

Shop for Singles and more at our TCG Player Store!

30-018C – Blue Mage

That’s a first. An Ice Blue Mage.

Nothing wrong with that.

If Blue Mage is the last card you play from your hand, then your opponent will discard a card from their hand.

If Blue Mage was a Forward this would have been well worth it.

 

 

30-019R – Alaya Rundall

Dependent on a Light Forward.

Alaya Rundall will have your opponent discard a card when she enters the field. Once again this will only trigger if you already have a Light Forward on the field.

You can then send Alaya to the Break Zone and give one Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Forward =1000 power until the end of the turn.

For 2CP this is ok. If it was anymore, I would have said there are much better cards out there.

 

30-020R – Omega

A 2 cost Monster that will turn into a Forward when either Player has 5 points of damage.

A Forward with 10,000 power.

Whenever Omega attacks or blocks, Omega will Dull/Freeze one of your opponent’s Forwards. Meaning that Omega can block an attack, and Dull/Freeze the next in line for you.

Omega is a sleeper. Waiting on the side until it’s time to shine.

 

 

30-021H – Gestahlian Empire Cid

Cid is only useful in a 3 element deck.

Once per turn you can use Cid’s ability to have your opponent discard a card in their hand. This ability will only trigger if you remove 3 different elements from your Break Zone.

If you’re not running 3 elements in your deck, Gestahlian Empire Cid is just a vanilla Backup. No better than our Opus I Evoker.

 

 

30-022C – Glenn

Coming in with First Strike and the ability that states. Dull/Freeze a Character, whenever a Forward with First Strike attacks.

Glenn has First Strike.

So, Glenn’s ability will trigger whenever he attacks.

First Strike Warriors? Can it work?

 

 

30-023H – Seymour

Seymour comes on in and casts Dull/Freeze on one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Yes you do need 3 Summons in your Break Zone for this to work, but once you do, you can also remove those 3 Summons from the game, and then you can pick another 2 Forwards, and Dull/Freeze them as well.

I’d say use Seymour in a Summon heavy deck.

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand that.

 

 

30-024C – Styx

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Styx will grab an Ice Forward from your Break Zone.

And, that’s it.

And, all that it will cost you is 1CP.

Play this. I fully support this card.

 

30-025C – Strago

Ok, Just like Styx, Strago does the same thing. retrieve a Final Fantasy VI Character from the Break Zone.

The difference is that Strago costs 3CP. And it is worth it. Because Strago also has a 7K body to block or attack. Whichever you choose.

And, why does this matter?

Because once Strago is sent to the Break Zone, you can play another Strago and grab another Final Fantasy VI Character from your Break Zone.

Just remember, you can’t grab Strago from the Break Zone.

30-026R – Zenos

Zenos will fit right in with the rest of the Heavensward Starter Set.

Zenos will break A Forward when he enters the field. Hopefully it’ll be one of your opponent’s Forwards, but if they don’t control a Warrior of Light, you are out of luck and you’ll have to break one of your own Forwards.

But, all is not lost.

Once a Forward if put into the Break Zone, your opponent discards a card.

 

 

30-027C – Celes

Not bad at all.

Celes is hanging out on your Backline, ready to use her ability.

What’s this ability?

She will cancel an auto-ability. That is the best case scenario. Worst case scenario, she’ll make your opponent pay 3CP in order to cast that ability.

Either way you’re coming out on top.

Every Ice deck will need to make use of this card.

30-028H – Fina

We’re getting a lot of these cards lately.

Fina comes in and reveals the top 3 cards of your deck. You can then add 2 Final Fantasy Brave Exvius cards to your hand. The rest will be sent to your Break Zone.

As always if you’re playing FFBE this is a great card. If not then you already know the story.

And, since we got a whole bunch of new FFBE cards this set. I think it’s worth looking into.

 

 

30-029R – Hraesvelgr

Hraesvelgr does nothing until he is sent to the Break Zone.

And, when he does he will either have your opponent discard 2 cards, deal a dull Forward 10,000 damage, or he will search for himself and play himself on to the field dull.

Either way, this is a good way to keep some pressure on your opponent.

And, what’s to stop you from playing Opus VI Hraesvelgr in it’s place?

 

 

30-030C – Mini Fighter

Playing Fire/Ice? Ice/Wind?

If so Mini Fighter might just be the card that you need.

When Mini Fighter enters the field, you’ll reveal the top 4 cards of your deck and add either a Fire or Wind card to your hand.

The rest go to the bottom of your deck.

This can be useful.

 

30-031C – Mog (XIII-2)

I can see Mog being used. Especially if you know what the top card of your deck is. Luckily we have cards that can show us what the top card is.

In certain situations this will be a great play, but most of the time, Mog will sit in your Backup line, and just give you 1CP per turn.

There are much better Mogs out there.

 

 

30-032L – Roca

Looks like Iced Earth is making a comeback.

Roca doesn’t do anything herself. The magic happens when an Earth Character enters the field.

Because every time one does, Roca’s ability will trigger. And what happens when Roca’s ability triggers? That’s up to you.

You can either break a dull Forward, Dull/Freeze 2 Characters or grab a card from your Break Zone.

And, we all thought Roca was a sifter.

 

30-033C – Roghza Ovis EX

Kind of expensive, but it’s a big body with Brave.

Roghza Ovis enters the field and searches for a Princess.

Any princess will do.

And when you play that Princess, Roghza Ovis will gain +1000 power and Brave.

And that’s all it is. Sure, the 6CP will come down to 4CP when you grab the Princess, and 4CP is a decent price for a 10k body with Brave.

All that’s left to do is give Roghza Ovis, First Strike.

30-034L – Locke

He’s not a thief, he’s a Treasure Hunter.

Cause if Locke was a Thief, he would have been searchable by Marcus.

When Locke is on the field, any card that your opponent discards will be randomly chosen. Meaning that your opponent can’t discard the cards that are useless to them at the moment.

Your opponent will also discard a card when Locke enters the field.

We’re not even done here. At the end of your turn, if your opponent has no cards in their hand, Locke will Freeze a Character. This ability will also draw you a card as well.

Throw this into a Turbo Discard deck, and you’ll be straight.

Cool Singles!

Physalis Attraction

Physalis is our card of the week, this week. One of the better cards in this set, and with a good cast around her, she will do some Damage.

On to the card

5CP – Ice
Forward
Job : Member of the Orders
Category : FFBE
9000 Power
Legend

When Physalis enters the field or attacks, if your opponent has 3 cards or less in their hand, select 1 of the 2 following actions. If your opponent has no cards in their hand, select up to 2 of the 2 following actions instead.

“Choose 1 Character. Dull it and Freeze it.” “Draw 1 card.”

Premium Physalis Bullet (S)(I)(I): Choose 1 Forward. Deal it 10000 damage. That Forward’s controller discards 1 card from their hand.

Physalis’ cost might be a little high at 5CP, but she makes up for it. 9K Power is good by itself, but it’s her abilities that make her shine. Being able to draw a card every time she attacks, is worth the 5CP you paid for her, because you will get it back in a couple of turns.

The characters that surround Physalis in this deck, support her, mostly by causing your opponent to discard their cards. And if you still need to get rid of a card in their hand, you can use “Premium Physalis Bullet” right before you attack as it does not cause Physalis to Dull.

There’s plenty of Forwards that will cause your opponent to discard a card from their hands. Argath (1-033C), Locke(4-048L), and Locke(12-116L) all have on entry abilities that will make your opponent Discard 1 card. Borghen(6-039H) will make them, discard a card when he enters the Break Zone. He’s basically a cheap blocker. Innocence (13-137S), dulls and makes your opponent discard 2 cards. Laguna (9-037C) searches for an Ice Forward. Squall (6-033H has effects depending on how many cards your opponent has. Baralai (12-114R) Has abilities that trigger when your opponent discards a card from his hand, or your backups activate. Vayne (9-022L) will make your opponent pay 1CP for each Forward they have, or they will be broken.

Laguna (9-037C) along with Ysayle (6-022R) will let you search for Physalis. And if she ends up in the Break Zone Devout (1-048C) will be there to bring her back. Gestahlian Empire Cid (4-026H) will let you search for Locke, and Setzer (8-036C) will grab him from the Break Zone.

Bard (1-036C) will dull and your opponent shall discard 1 card. Class Ninth Moogle (9-033C) will let you pay the Wind Crystal Point needed for Baralai and Locke, but will also let you cast Asura (2-049H) and Pandemonium (5-032H). Both which will activate your backups and let Baralai deal 3K Damage to all your opponents Forwards.

2 More Summons. Mateus, the Corrupt (5-044C) Just to Break a blocking Forward if you need to. And, Glasya Labolas (5-032H) so, your opponent can discard another card.

And, finally Scale Toad (8-034R) Your opponent will discard a card if they have more than 2 cards in there hand at the end of their turn.

The plan here is to have your opponent have no cards in their hand. Causing them to not be able to play anything. Physalis will shine, if you get your way in this match. Along with some powerful Forwards, it’ll be hard for you to lose this match.
Here’s the run down

Borghen (6-039H) x3
Argath (1-033C) x3
