Behind the Wol

Wol’s Job is Wod.

Wol
5CP – Wind
Forward
Job – Warrior of Dawn
Category – Mobius
Legend
9000 Power

“The cost required to cast Wol is reduced by 1 for each Character of cost 5 or more you control (it cannot become 0).
The Forwards of cost 5 or more other than Wol you control gain “This Forward cannot be chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities.”

When you cast a Character of cost 5 or more, draw 1 card. This effect will trigger only once per turn.”

If you ever needed a reason to build a high cost deck, now you have one. Wol here will give you a chance to draw a card for every Character of 5CP or more that you play. In other words you’re just paying 2CP less than what you normally would have paid.

And, all these high cost Forwards will have some protection added on to them if Wol is on the field.

You already have a couple of Backups that will search for Wol. Echo (10-047R) and Mog (MOBIUS) (5-093C). Echo searches when she enters the field and Mog, when he is put into the Break Zone.

Your best bet, would be to play a bunch of 5 cost Forwards. That way you will be managing your CP efficiently. Probably not, but it makes sense in my head. There are currently 168 5CP Forwards. 42 of them are Legends and only 1 is Wind. The other one is Wind/Lightning

I doubt we’ll be playing Golbez, so let’s just take a look at Bismarck, Lord of the Mists. There should be a combo somewhere about playing Bismarck, and activating all your Backups with the card that you will be recycling at the end of your turn.

Getting the Hang of It

The Community Market has come and gone.

It was a small one, but we still had fun. Just like we always do. We ended up buying out another vendor’s booth. Why, you ask? Because he was selling Pokemon cards next to us. So, keep an eye out on the site, and on our eBay store for some nice Pokemon cards that we will be listing.

There is still plenty of demand for Brilliant Stars. Half of the people that came by the booth was asking about Brilliant Stars. And there was none, anywhere. If I had it in stock, which is nearly impossible at the moment. We would have had a Brilliant amount of Dollars.

Other notes from last time.

Pokemon was still the top seller. MetaZoo flopped, Weiss Schwarz showed some life, And Final Fantasy TCG had the most expensive item sold. Flesh and Blood, Magic and Cardfight were all flops as well.

I did manage to add a couple more Mimikyus to my collection. Now I don’t have to open up a box of Brilliant Stars, but I still want to.

The next Convention is right around the corner. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date. In T-minus tomorrow.

Master of the Shijin

“… It is time to reap your reward.”

Kirin

6CP – Earth
Forward
Category : XI
Job : Kirin
Legend
9000 Power

Brave

“Kirin cannot become dull by your opponent’s Summons or abilities.

The Job Shijin Forwards you control gain +1000 power.

When Kirin enters the field, reveal the top 5 cards of your deck. Play 1 Forward of cost 4 among them and return the other cards to the bottom of your deck in any order.”

This will make some interesting play. I was just talking about how they should make an Archfiends deck. And, they listened. Sort of. We now have Kirin & the Shijins, coming to a bar near you. Playing all your favorite oldies. Ok, I got a little carried away.

Kirin comes in lets you hopefully play a Shijin from your deck to the field, and give all the Shijins +1K. And since he comes in with Brave, and cannot become dull by Summons or abilities, Kirin looks like he’ll be around for a long time.

Now let’s take a look at the Shijin.

Suzaku, Seiryu, Byakko and Genbu.

They all have one ability that reads. “If you have a Job Shijin in your Break Zone, the cost required to cast (card name) can be paid with CP of any Element.” Why is this important? It’s the basis of the whole strategy. You shall quickly discard the First Shijin to pay for Kirin, and hopefully you’ll find a Shijin.

And can’t forget about the EX Burst “When (card name) enters the field, you may search for 1 Job Shijin Forward other than Card Name (card name) and add it to your hand.” You’re already adding Shijins to your hand after you, hopefully, play one from Kirin’s ability. You’re likely to swarm the board pretty quickly here.

But, that’s not all.

Each Shijin also has a 3rd ability.

Suzaku – “When Suzaku attacks, choose 1 Forward deal it 5000 damage.”

Seiryu – “Seiryu cannot be chosen by your opponent’s abilities.”

Byakko – “When Byakko attacks, choose 1 Forward. Dull it.”

Genbu – “If Genbu is dealt damage, reduce the damage by 3000 instead.”

Other than searching for each other, these cards really don’t play well together. But, I’m sure with help from other cards these can do some damage to your opponent.
