Hidden Trials – By Fire

Shop these Singles and more @ our TCG Player Store.

3-001C – Garland

What a way to start off the set.

A 2 cost Backup that when Garland enters the field, you gain control of one of your opponents Forwards.

Sure, you’ll only have control of that Forward until the end of the turn, but, it is a good way to spoil your opponent’s plans and attack with that Forward, where they’ll either block it and send it to the Break Zone, or you’ll break the blocking Forward, or you’ll deal them a point of Damage.

I’ll take 3 of these.

Now, where did I put that card that recycles Backups? I can’t even remember which one it was.

23-002L – Caius

Caius is making a comeback, and he’s forming a Tag Team with Bahamut. Any Bahamut will do, as Caius will enter the field, you’ll search for Bahamut, and cast Bahamut right away. Most Likely that Bahamut will be a Free Play. As all Bahamuts cost 5CP or less with the exception of the Opus I Bahamut which costs 9CP.

You can play that one for 2CP, if you have Fang on the field, 19-131S or 19-020R, as both of these reduce the cost to cast Bahamut by 2.

Other than that you can cast Raise on Caius as he enters the Break Zone, for the small price of discarding 3 cards from your hand, Caius can came back to the field.

Even Yeul couldn’t see that one coming.

23-003C – Kain

Haste, and First Strike?

Kain is ready to strike!

Remember when we were talking about an all Haste deck? Well, Kain here is the perfect fir for it. Cause, every time he attacks, all of the Forwards with Haste or First Strike gain +2000 power.

Your opponent won’t know what to block, when to block, who to block, where to block, and most importantly, how to block.

Double Jump, is just a regular Jump attack, if it was double, Kain would be dealing damage to 2 Forwards.

23-004R – Kefka

First off, this is a great looking card. Almost reminds you of some Amano art.

Second off, Kefka is here to wreak Havoc on your opponent. Every time he attacks, Kefka deals 4000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

But, you’ll want to wait until you have 5 points of damage to play Kefka. Cause when you do, Kefka comes in with Haste, +2000 power, and whenever Kefka deals damage to your opponent, or to a Forward they control, you will double the damage Kefka deals to them.

That means 2 cards in the Damage Zone. And, when he attacks, it’s 8000 damage to that Forward that you choose and at least 14,000 damage to the Forward that will block Kefka.

When your back is against the wall, Kefka will do what Kefka does best.

I’ll take 3 Full Arts, Por Favor.

23-005R – Golbez

I don’t know how Golbez is just a Rare.

Golbez has 3 abilities to choose from, each one is better than the other.

Deal 5000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. Break a Forward. And, the one I like the most, Grab a Forward from your Break Zone.

You can start building decks with all different cards, EDH style, and if a Forward ends up in the Break Zone, just use Golbez to grab it back.

All you need to do is protect Golbez, and you’ll never miss a card. Unless it ends up in the Damage Zone, but we have a way to grab cards from there as well.

23-006R – Soulcage

For 2CP you get a Forward with 9000 power. Is there a sale on Soulcage, cause that is dirt cheap. You can’t even get a deal like that at the Goodwill anymore!

Yes, Soulcage is a Monster, and yes, you need another Monster on the field for Soulcage to become a Forward, but that’s not a hard thing to do. Especially with all of these Monster decks that are going around.

And, when you put Soulcage into the Break Zone, you can remove it from the game, and grab a Monster from your Break Zone and add that one to your hand. It’s a win-win.

 

23-007C/15-007C – Samurai

Just Copy/Paste from what we wrote for Dawn of Heroes.

“What? A reprint? I wasn’t expecting that. Let’s see what we wrote when Crystal Dominion came out.

“Exchanging 2CP for a Crystal.

Seems like an even trade. Now to find what we’re going to use these Crystals for?

Samurai has no abilities, that consume Crystals, but there are plenty other cards that do. Samurai’s job is to give you a Crystal and then hopefully you’ll find a way to Break Samurai so you can play your real Backups. ”

Huh? What was I even writing, I had to edit it to make sense. In my defense, we didn’t know what Crystals would be doing back then. … Half the time I still don’t know.

Because apparently, if you actually read the card Samurai can put itself in the Break Zone.”

23-008H – Zidane

Free Zidane!

You play Zidane, and once he enters the field you get to search for 2 FFIX Forwards and, add them to your hand. And, that’s great, you can get rid of him right after, because he only has 5000 power, but that’s still enough to block one of your opponents attacks.

If we get some decent FFIX cards, Zidane would be one of the first cards you would throw into a IX deck.

 

 

23-009H – Zorn & Thorn

Zorn & Thorn, we have a Tag Team right here, going for the World Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Belts.

And how are they going to do that?

It’s simple, they pick their own opponents. Zorn & Thorn attack and they get to pick the Forward that will block them. Over and over. All you need is to give them a buff, and they’ll be that much better.

And, if they are finally sent to the Break Zone, they turn into a Monster. Not a giant monster, just a Monster that costs 2CP or less.

I like it.

It’s kind of like Zorn & Thorn transform into Meltigemini.

Who would have thought?

23-010C – SOLDIER Candidate

First Strike.

I know I’ve seen a SOLDIER Candidates in another element, now I’m wondering if there is one in every element, and if they are all the same. Only one way to find out.

If you have a couple of Standard Unit Forwards in your Break Zone, SOLDIER Candidate gains +3000 power.

Now, the real question is, if it’s only for this SOLDIER Candidate, or all of the SOLDIER Candidates.

I wonder if they met Zack?

23-011L – Terra EX

One of my playmats has the same artwork. If you haven’t seen it, it is a beautiful sight. Terra riding the Magitek Armor ready to … well you should know. I won’t spoil it.

Terra comes in and you can grab a Summon from your Break Zone. then you can cast this Summon for 2CP less than what it costs to normally cast it. You also grab a Summon from your Break Zone when Terra is put into the Break Zone. Making Terra’s final cost a whopping 1CP.

Terra only has 5000 power, but the reason you’ll play her is solely for the reason that, when she is on the field, your opponent cannot remove the Summons in your Break Zone from the game.

And, that is it.

Protect the Summons! Protect the Espers!

23-012C – Tifa

What are those? Maracas?

3CP, 7Kpower and the ability to deal 2000 damage to a Forward every time Tifa attacks.

Let’s not forget about the Crystal you gain whenever Tifa damages a Forward that is sent to the Break Zone.

And, with that Crystal, Tifa gains +2000 power and Haste, giving her a total of 9000 power.

For 3CP, that’s not bad at all. Sure there are better Tifas, but this one also has it’s uses.

23-013C – Morrow

Morrow is a Backup now?

You won’t be playing Morrow, if you have received anything less than 5 points of Damage.

This is a card that you’ll most likely play alongside Kefka (23-004R) As they both shine once you have received 5 points of Damage.

Morrow comes in and deals a Forward 9000 damage.

He’s like a Mini-Summon. Plus, Morrow only costs 1CP.

If this would have been a Forward it would have been twice as better.

23-014H – Nelapa

What?

This is your Summon control.

Your opponent will think twice about casting a Summon, when Nelapa is on the field.

Cause if they do, Nelapa will deal 10,000 damage to a Forward of your choosing, and also deal your opponent 1 point of damage.

With that being said, I can see Nelapa thrown into any deck that deals with Fire. I mean why wouldn’t you. There should be a card that hardly sees any play in that deck anyway.

I’ll take 3 Foil copies.

23-015C – Notsugo

Is it Not-sugo or No-tsugo?

A 1 cost Monster that sacrifices itself and another Monster to deal 9000 damage to one of your opponents Forwards.

Simple and straight to the point.

It might be worth playing in certain situations.

 

23-016R – Bahamut

This is the Bahamut you’re supposed to play with Caius.

You can play this Bahamut, and many other Bahamuts free of charge if you grab him when Caius enters the field.
Removal at it’s finest.

Not just 1 but 2 Forwards are to be removed from the game.

The first one just needs to have 9000 power or less, and the second one should already be in your opponent’s Break Zone.

For a Free card this is great.

23-017C – Parai

Parai searches for a Final Fantasy Legends Character. And, he only costs 2CP.

But, there’s always a but, Parai will deal you one point of damage.

Is it worth it?

Depends on if you have Kefka and Morrow ready to go once you reach 5 points of Damage.

Maybe yes, Maybe no.

23-018R – Palom

Palom, one half of the twin mages.

Palom is a free play, if Porom is already on the field.

If not he’ll only cost 2CP. Palom comes in with 5000 power and allows you to place 2 EXP Counters on a Forward. That Forward will gain +2000 power.

And, if the twins work together, I think Porom will be something like this as well.

 

23-019C – Monk

A one hit wonder.

How big is that one hit?

Depends on how many Backups you control one Monk enters the field.

If you have 5 Backups, that hit will be a whopping 8000 damage dealt to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

If not then it’ll be a measly 4000.

That’s not that bad. There are plenty of Forwards that will go down with a 4K shot.

Beyond Destiny – Twisted Transistors

Shop these Singles and more at our TCGPlayer Shop

21-081L – Irvine

Well, I can see why this is a sought out card.

It’s the butterfly on Irvine’s finger. When it flaps it’s wings, it’ll cause your opponent to slowly get discombobulated. In a way, at least.

Irvine enters the field, you remove 2 cards from your opponent’s Break Zone, and it’s off to the races. The butterfly’s flap will give Irvine +2000 power, Haste and First Strike. Meaning Irvine can attack right off the bat, as a 9000 power Forward, and don’t forget First Strike. 99% of the time your opponent will either be sending a Forward to the Break Zone, or getting a point of damage.

And, Armor Break, breaks a Forward or a Monster.

You can’t go wrong with this one.

21-082C – Red Mage

Your Elemental Backup, that’s the same as the other Standard Unit Backups in the other Elements as well.

Maybe in draft, but I don’t see much play outside of it.

Prove me wrong, and I’ll send you a playset on the house.

 

 

21-083H – Ace

Is this Ace better than the rest?

I don’t think so, but I always used Ace when playing Type-0.

Sure the other Aces are better, but this Ace is a Hero.

Ace enters the field and you draw a card if you already have a couple of Cadets on the field. Thus making Ace a 2 cost Forward.

Other than that, you can discard a card, and dull a Forward, and give Ace +1000 power.

I think I’ll pass on this one.

21-084H – Odin

A Summon that will Break over 75% of all Forwards and Monsters. And, it only costs 3CP. You can even reduce that cost to 1CP if you have at least 5 Lightning Characters on the field. Because when you do you get to draw 1 card. And, everyone likes drawing cards.

There is another 2 Odins that will Break any Forward regardless of cost, but Odin (1-124R) costs 7CP. You also have Odin (12-077H) which costs 6CP, and that one’s cost is reduced by 1CP for each Odin in your Break Zone.

Playing this Odin with the Opus XII Odin might be a good idea.

Other than that you got some great Amano art.

21-085H – Emperor Gestahl

More Amano art, and Gestahl is starting to look like “The Wiseman” from the Labyrinth.

For a 2 cost Backup, Emperor Gestahl will allow you to grab a Forward from your Break Zone. Plays like these are always good. Especially if that Forward was the only one that you had. And, let’s not forget about their enter the field ability that will cause havoc on your opponents board.

Ok, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Later on you can put Emperor Gestahl into the Break Zone, remove 4 of the same type cards from your opponent’s Break Zone, and draw a card.

I don’t see why not.

“sometimes the way forward is the way back.”

21-086C – Gunbreaker

This isn’t bad at all. And with Gunbreaker being a Standard Unit, you can have 3 of these on the field at the same time. Hopefully you’ll have a pocket full of Crystals, because I can see a board wipe shaping up here.

Every time Gunbreaker attacks, you deal 2000 damage to all of your opponents Forwards. If you have a Crystal, you can deal an additional 2000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards.

And, if you have a couple more Gunbreakers and a couple more Crystals, then you’re dealing 12,000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards.

Pair this with some Bombs and I see a deck forming.

21-087C – Machinist

What is this? 2CP?

For a 5K Forward?

I can see some use with this one.

Gunbreaker attacks, and then you play Machinist in your Main Phase 2, and deal 5000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

And, after that, once per turn, you can Dull Machinist and deal 2000 damage to a Forward.

21-088C – Gilgamesh

Que “Battle on the Big Bridge”

You can never go wrong with Gilgamesh, unless he pulls Excalipoor. And this, Gilgamesh is not pulling Excalipoor. Especially, if you got yourself a couple of Crystals on hand, and 3 points of damage. For when you do, Gilgamesh becomes a 9K body, with Haste and Brave, and can also attack twice in the same turn.

Pair this with Estinien (6-088L) and you can have the match over with in a couple of turns.

I like it, the only thing I would change about this card, is give it some Amano Art.

21-089R – Queen

A Forward with Haste, that doesn’t receive damage when attacking?

I’ll take it. It doesn’t matter what else Queen does, this is more than enough.

And, it still gets better. Queen, also, can’t be chosen by Summons or abilities either. And, if for some reason you need to give her more power, just spend 2CP and you’re set. You can even do this part multiple times to keep upping her power.

This will be going straight into the all Haste deck.

 

21-090R – Cloud

You wouldn’t play this Cloud in a FFVII deck, but you might in a WoFF themed deck.

2CP to cast a 5K body, that will maybe, just maybe break one of your opponent’s Forwards. Well, Cloud actually just might. There are plenty of low cost Forwards out there, and if you already have Reynn on the field, to help pay for Cloud, well then you have 2 WoFF Characters on the field. And, there are plenty of 2 cost Forwards to break.

Yeah, that’s about it. Break a Forward, and then you have a tiny meat shield to absorb an attack. Or something like that.

21-091C – Black Knight

Black Knight has 1 job, which can be done twice. Once when Black Knight enters the field, and once when Black Knight enters the Break Zone.

Break a 2 cost Forward or Monster. Which is pretty good considering the cost to play Black Knight is 2CP.

Black Knight will then hang out on the field, but when Black Knight starts heading to the Break Zone, Black Knight will Break any Forward or Monster that your opponent controls.

Sure, costs and blah blah blah, but I’ll give this one a try.

Or two.

21-092R – Man in Black

How come Lightning is getting all these good cards? Half of them are just Commons and Rares.

Like Man in Black here. a 4 cost Rare Forward, with an 8K body.

Ok, you’ll say, that’s just an average card. But upon closer inspection, every Attack Phase, Man in Black, allows you to choose 2 Forwards, and unless your opponent pays 3CP, they can”t attack or block this turn.

Allowing you to march Forward as you pile up cards in your opponent’s Damage Zone.

At 5 points of damage, Man in Black also gains +2000 power. Thus making Man in Black a 10K Forward.

12-093L – Xande

Mono-Lightning mean you’re playing Xande.

Xande might be 5CP, but you can reduce that by one if you have Glauca (11-091R) on the field. And if you have 8 Lightning Characters on the field you can grab a Forward from your Break Zone and play it straight to the field. No cost limit on this one. you can even grab those 10 cost Forwards and just play them straight to the field.

I’d say it’s worth having at least one Xande in your deck if you’re playing Mono-Lightning.

 

21-094C – Shantotto

Hmm.

That is what Shantotto is thinking.

How do I fit into a multi-element deck? One that can play every element, so I can get the most of my Enter the Field ability.

Tyro and Moogles and ….

Worst case scenario you’ll be dealing 3000 damage to one Forward.

Best Case 21,000 damage. I can’t think of any use in trying to find a way to have all the elements one the field, including one Light or Dark Character, but the look on your opponent’s face when you say I’m dealing your Viking 21K damage.

21-095C – Trey EX

Class Zero finally got a card that it needed.

Trey, the Recycler!

A card that will allow you to go into your Break Zone, and grab a Class Zero Cadet.

It’s always good to have a Backup, with a backup plan.

Dynamite Arrow, deal a Forward 9000 damage.

The only bad thing about this card, which isn’t really a bad thing, is that Trey can’t send himself to the Break Zone.

Other than that, you know you’ll be playing Trey in your Cadets deck.

21-096R – Nine

Nine reminds me of Amon from Opus II, which is still a great card.

Once per turn Nine is able to dull a Forward. Reducing your opponent’s numbers down. Allowing you to utilize a bigger attack, than you previously thought you’d be able to pull off. Add Opus II Amon and you’ll double that reduction.

Plus, let’s not forget that Nine has Protect cast on himself, as whenever he takes damage, that damage is reduced by 2000.

Class Zero has gotten some nice cards this set.

21-097R – Neilikka

Are there Brave Exvius decks out there?

Does anyone actually play Brave Exvius decks?

Just wondering, cause if they do they’ll probably play Neilikka here. She gains Haste if you have 2 Brave Exvius Characters on the field.

Neilikka costs 2CP and whenever she attacks she dulls, and deals 3000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

You can still play this card without any FFBE Characters, dealing damage to a Forward while dulling it is worth the 2CP alone.

21-098R – Palom

I’d say this is a pass.

There are far better Paloms out there.

Sure, this one is Lightning and deals 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards that cost 3 CP or less.

I’d say the only good thing about this card is that the ability can go off from an EX Burst. And, that’s about it.

Leave this one at home, unless your drafting. Then you might want to use it.

21-099H – Firion

Restrictions, restrictions, restrictions.

What do you expect? If there weren’t restrictions, we’d have so many over powered cards, where the winner would be determined by who goes first.

Or something like that.

I like this card. Should be played in Ice/Lightning. Dull everything in sight, and then you have Firion who can attack twice per turn is your opponent has 4 dull Characters on the field. See it doesn’t even say Forwards. Backups count as well, which more than likely will already be dull do to CP costs and playing cards.

Firion attacks twice, with Brave and +5000 power. making him a Forward with 8000 power. Add in Lulu (1-150R) and Maria (17-128L) and you’re turning Firion into a 11K wrecking machine.

All this for 1CP.

Can’t get more bang, for 1 Crystal Point.

21-100C – Dragoon

I keep telling myself, I should look into these Dragoons. They’re usually the “Cool” Characters. Take Kain, and Fang into consideration. Both great Characters, both are Dragoons. Even though Fang isn’t considered a Dragoon in FFTCG. Not yet any way, but her spear says other wise.

Let’s get back to the card.

Dragoon enters the field and deals either 4000 or 8000 damage to an active Forward. And it all depends on how many Backups you have.

By itself it’s an OK card.

Fusoya – Lunar Summon Co.

I was between 2 Fusoyas for this deck, and then I just decided to use both of them. Fusoya (20-100R) and Fusoya (9-094L). Both Fusoyas are Summon based. One allowing you to play low cost Summon whenever Fusoya attacks, and the other one let’s you pay for your Summons with CP of any Element. This gives us an idea for part of the deck.

Now, in order to stay true to Fusoya, we’re going to bring in his nephews Cecil, and Golbez. This is going to be a family affair.

Cecil (9-109H) in order to protect Fusoya, When he’s casting those Summons, and Golbez (9-087H) to use his ability to play a Forward from the top of your deck onto the field, without paying the cost. It’s a Crap shoot.

Since we’re going to be adding a whole bunch of Summons, we’re going to add Yuna (20-117L) to the deck, to use Holy due to having so many Summons in our Break Zone. And, since we’re going to be spamming Holy, we need as many Yuna’s in our hand to help us cast Holy. We added (1-214s), (2-138L), (1-177R). We doubt we’ll be using these Yunas on the field, as they’ll only be used to cast Holy.

We’ll need to protect that Break Zone, so we’re using Kalmia (18-090R).

Class Sixth Moogle, as it can produce Water CP, Summoner (4-136C) for protection against some of your opponents Summons. Chadley (20-098C) so we can grab a Forward we need from the Break Zone.And Red Mage (12-073C) to let us break a Forward whenever we cast a Summon.

The rest can be filled with Summons, 1CP or 2CP, so Fusoya can cast them whenever he attacks. And, those Same Summons will be used to calculate the power of Yuna’s Holy whenever she casts that.

And, that is the plan. Spam Summons, and Holy whenever you can.

Forwards

Yuna (1-214S) x3
Fusoya (20-100r) x3
Yuna (2-138L) x3
Cecil (9-109H) x3
Golbez (9-087H) x3
Yuna (20-117L) x3
Fusoya (9-094L) x3

Backups

Yuna(1-177R) x3
Summoner (4-136C) x3
Class Sixth Moogle (9-097C) x3
Chadley (20-098C) x3
Red Mage (12-073C) x3
Kalmia (18-090R) x3

Summons

Raiden (10-100C) x2
Diabolos (15-053H) x3
Valefor (1-0198S) x3
Neo Bahamut (6-018R) x2
Cu Sith (10-068C) x2
Ramuh (10-102H) x2
Ixion (17-090R) x2
Unicorn (20-118H) x2

And that is the Fusoya deck and plan.
What would you play? Let us know in the comments.

Fusoya

” I am FuSoYa. My duty is to protect the slumber of the Lunarians.”

Ultimania entry.

A Lunarian, and the brother of Cecil’s father, Kluya. After sealing away the evil Lunarian known as Zemus many centuries ago, Fusoya has watched over his kin as they slumbered and awaited the evolution of the Blue Planet’s natives. Fusoya learns that Zemus aims to scorch the Blue Planet using the Giant of Babil, and he cooperates with Cecil when the warriors arrive on the moon. When Fusoya enters the Giant of Babil to destroy it, he frees Golbez from Zemus’s brainwashing. This allows him to spill the secret behind the births of both Golbez and Cecil.

Even though Fusoya wasn’t in Final Fantasy IV until the end, he still played a major part in the story. If it wasn’t for Fusoya, Zemus would have ended up completing his master plan. Fusoya tells Cecil and party that he is Cecil’s father’s brother. In other words he is Cecil’s and Golbez’s uncle. I’m pretty sure Cecil didn’t figure it out when Fusoya told him either.

Armed with a long list of spells, all of the spells actually, even Meteor and Flare, Fusoya is a force to be reckoned with. Although he doesn’t stay in the party for long, it should be fun for a while just casting spells left and right, just because you can.

And let’s not forget the beard. It’s long and stuff.

From Nightmares – Thunderbolts and Lightning

19-069R – Emperor (FFL)

5 cost Forward with an S-ability that has a 50% chance to turn the tide in your favor. More than 50% depending on what cards you’re playing. But, if you’re not playing any Summons or Monsters it’s 100%.

Black Box, the abilities of abilities. Depending on what is the top card of your deck you can either deal 8000 damage to all the Forwards. Dull and Freeze all the Characters, or draw 4 cards.

Either of the first 2 will be very beneficial for you.

Add Glauca to the mix and he’s only a 4 cost Forward with a 9K body.

I’ll take 3 and throw them in any Lightning deck.

19-070C – Edge

It’s all about the Shuriken Counters.

Edge comes in with 3 Shuriken Counters, each one can be used to deal 5000 damage to a Forward. He does dull when he uses his ability, but after 3 turns, you can just block a Forward and recast Edge.

This way you can have Edge on the field for most of the game, just dealing 5000 damage a turn. A nice little way to keep your opponent at bay.

 

19-071C – Elgo EX

4 cost Backup that allows you to grab a Multi-Element Forward from your Break Zone.

After that Elgo just stays on the field and produces CP each turn, as any Backup would.

His enter the field ability also comes off as an EX Burst.

 

 

19-072C – Eald’narche

5CP/9K Forward that when she enters the field you can discard a card to Break a Forward.

Any Forward will do.

In total you will be paying 7CP to break the Forward, and then you’re left with a 9K body to deal damage or block attacks.

Almost like an Opus I Odin that will Break a Forward, but you get to keep this card on the field.

19-073C – Kain

Have we had a Kain as a Backup before?

Either way, this one isn’t half bad. Actually pretty useful with Back Attack.

If you have a Forward that is blocking another Forward, and your opponent buffs it to match the your Forwards power, you can play Kain and give your Forward First Strike. That way your attack will go through first. Breaking your opponents Forward.

Other than that, there really isn’t much use for it.

19-074C – Scholar

Cheap Backup to play, and is great when you have 3 points of damage.

When Scholar enters the field you can Break a Forward of cost 3 or less.

Not only that, but Scholar has an ability to deal 8000 damage to a damaged Forward. Most of the time this will break that Forward.

You get all this for 2CP.

 

19-075C – Chimera

If you don’t have a low cost Character on the field when you play Chimera, you don’t need to break it. This can also be a way to get rid of a Backup you don’t need on the field anymore to make way for a new one.

Chimera costs a measly 1CP, and it can also become a Forward.

This is a pretty decent Monster/Forward.

 

 

19-076R – Kuja EX

2CP Backup that Breaks a 2CP Forward or 1CP when he enters the field.

After that you can dull Kuja, chuck him to the Break Zone and dull a Forward.

 

 

 

 

19-077L – Golbez

Archfiends are back. If they weren’t a thing yet, they are now.

Golbez and the Warp Counters. Every time you remove one, you can play an Archfiend from your hand onto the field. They don’t even need to be a certain cost. Any Archfiend will do. And every time you do play an Archfiend, you can draw a card.
After that Golbez gives all the Archfiends +3000 power.

So many awesome cards so far, and so many decks I want to build. And so little time to do so.

19-078C – Jinnai

I don’t see it.

I mean you can pay the 4CP to activate Jinnai, to dull a Forward.

If the cost was a little cheaper, maybe 2CP it would have been better, but for 4CP to activate Jinnai, I believe there are better options to play.

But, Jinnai is only a Common, so that might be why the cost is high.

Other than that Jinnai is a 3CP/7K Forward.

19-079H – Moebius

Did I mention I like the Dream Stooges?

Well if I didn’t, now I did.

Moebius allows you to grab a Dream Stooge from the Break Zone. Which is a good thing.

If you have all the Dream Stooges on the field, they all gain +2000 power, making them a little more difficult to deal with.

I like it and I shall be making a Dream Stooge deck, just to have some fun. Add in Kefka and I can see something fun Happening.

19-080R – Vivi

Mono Lightning?

Might as well play Vivi, if only for the fact that all you’ll have in your hands is Lightning cards.

Simply play Vivi onto the field, reveal your hand and deal a Forward up to 14,000 damage.

It’s simple as that. He’s also a Forward so you can block an attack and then play another Vivi, and rinse and repeat.

Lots of value in this little play. It’s worth a try or 3.

19-081R – Behemoth

A second Behemoth in this set.

This one plays quite different then the Earth one.

When Behemoth enters the field, you can choose a Forward of 5CP or less and send it to the Break Zone.

After that during each of your Attack Phases, Behemoth will dull one of your opponents Forwards.

What you wanted to attack with that Forward? Sorry, he’s dull. Oh you wanted to block with that Forward, Sorry, he’s dull too.

If your opponent doesn’t have an answer for Behemoth, he’ll be playing with one less Forward. One he won’t be able to play again. Unless your dulling a Standard Unit, but why would you want to do that?

Did anyone notice the KO’d Onion Knight on the bottom?

19-082H – Lightning

This beautiful card comes in with Haste, And 9000 power.

It’s an interesting card if I say so myself. Because when she is sent to the Break Zone you can play a Category XIII Character from your hand onto the field.

And her other ability reads, discard Odin, and choose a Forward your opponent controls, break the Forward and Lightning.
Now, if you already have another Lightning in your hand, you can play her onto the field for free. It’ll be almost as she never left.

Who said Lightning doesn’t strike twice? Lightning can strike up to 3 times with this card.

19-083R – Ramuh

Lightning’s Free Forward is here, in the form of Ramuh.

Simply put, Ramuh deals 8000 damage to a 3 cost (or less) Forward.

That is usually more than enough to get rid of the low CP Forwards.

And, since it’s a free play, why not use it. I know I will.

 

 

19-084R – Ricard

Looks like Dragoons got a roll of the dice.

I like these types of cards, that let you reveal the top cards of your deck and hopefully finding what you’re looking for.
You won’t always get what you’re looking for, but there is always a chance.

And with most Dragoons being Lightning. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a Lightning card or two to choose from.

After the roll of the dice, Ricard has an ability that will give a Forward First Strike. You will send Ricard into the Break Zone, and that just means you get to play him again.

19-085C – Dragoon

Dragoon here comes in with Haste, and that is enough for me.

But if you’re playing with 3 different elements, and you paid the cost with 3, you can choose a Forward of cost 3 or less and Break it.

There are Dragoons in almost all of the Elements, which can make it somewhat easy to play.
