Heir, to the Throne

Let’s take a dive into the Water. Legend, that is. Ovelia, Princess of Ivalice, the rightful heir to the throne.

Let’s take a look

3CP/Water
Backup
Job : Princess
Category FFT
Legend

“When a Category FFT Forward you control is put from the field into the Break Zone, draw 1 card. This effect will trigger only once per turn.

Aegis (S)(D): Choose 1 Forward you control. Until the end of the turn, it gains Haste and “When this Forward is put from the field into the Break Zone, play this Forward from the Break Zone onto the field dull””

Looks like we’re playing with Final Fantasy Tactics. As we mentioned before, in the Water Review, about the little combo with Marach (13-080C). You will need to find a way to be able to splash different colors. I was more excited about this card when it was released, but now it seems like will work better in a theme deck. Which is not a bad thing. I have yet to look into new decks to see how this card is being used. My guess would be a Lightning/Water deck. Not only to play Marach, but you also get Ramza (13-121R). Hopefully, you’ll play him for 4CP and your opponent will break a forward and return one to his hand.

But, with Aegis, there should be plenty of cards that you’ll want to bounce back after they have been broken. Aegis almost works like Rinoa’s (6-041L) entry ability, the difference is a card has to be put in the Break Zone to come back. Viking (4-133C) might be a fun one to play, as you’ll be drawing a card when it leaves the field and when it comes back in.

A couple of good card to also have on hand would be Sara (13-093H) the royalty searcher, and Simon (13-094C) as he’ll be able to grab Ovelia from the Break Zone. Giving you more Ovelia cards to reuse her ability.

Pardon Our Dust

Card of the Week is coming out nicely. As you can see we just posted Behemoth K, who is might be the strongest forward this set. But, you can read about that on the article.

Just wanted to let you all know that we’ll be trying to clean this site up a little bit. Instead of having a page for a single card, and then another page for the foil version, we are going to try and figure out how to put them on the same page, and you can just click to purchase which version you would like. If anyone wants to help, I can use it.

We’re also going to be posting sealed product soon. Booster Boxes, Pre-Release Kits, Sleeves and Starter Sets. Look for that to show up soon, along with the Opus I singles.

We’ll be deleting the Foil cards, and if you need one, just drop us an e-mail and we’ll see if it’s available. I believe that is all for the moment.

Site Update – 007

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote a Site Update. So, much has been going on all around and with the delays and everything in product, I was just trying to focus on posting all the cards. And, we are almost done with that. All that we have left is Opus I. After that we’ll be adding the sealed product. Booster Boxes, Starter Decks, Pre-Release Kits, and Sleeves.

You might also have noticed that we started doing a Card of the Week, where we pick one card and talk about it. Either give you a complete deck or a basic idea on how to incorporate it into your own deck. Which cards they pair well with and what not. Next week the Card of the Week will be Leo (13-067L).

Stay Tuned.

Shara, Viera

Here comes Shara, wind Legend of Opus XIII. As in the game Shara protected Ritz, and that is pretty much what she will be doing.

On to the Card

2CP/Wind
Forward
Job : Archer
Category : FFTA
4000 Power
Legend

Cheap card to play, and let’s you grab a card form the Break Zone. Basically, Free.

“EX BURST When Shara enters the field, choose 1 Card Name Ritz in your Break Zone. Add it to your hand.

When a Category FFTA Character other than Shara enters your field, place 1 Viera Counter on Shara.

(D), remove 1 Viera Counter from Shara: Choose 1 Category FFTA Character. It gains “This Character cannot be chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities.” until the end of the turn.”

You’ll want to play as many Final Fantasy Tactics Advance cards as you can get. To keep adding Viera Counters on Shara. And then you’ll just keep using her ability on Ritz.

Right off the bat, we’ll add Marche (11-017H) and Ritz (11-063L) and you’ve won the game. But, we’ll need more cards to complete this deck. Might as well add Llednar (13-108L) because he’s shiny and new. The other Llednar might work as well, both are good cards in my opinion. Doned (11-053H) Will allow you to search for Marche, which will in turn allow you to play Ritz. You’ll need at least one Fire Backup, Black Mage (8-007C) might be a good pick as he’ll add a Viera Counter on Shara. Or you can always play Princess Sarah (11-128H)

The other cards are up to you. You can throw in the Shikarees and your opponent won’t know who to go after first. Fill your deck up with Chocobos and you’ll swarm your opponent.

Of course you’ll want to add some Wind staples. Maria (1-083H), Aerith (1-064R), and Rikku EX (2-071R).
Any ideas? Let us know what you would do in the comments.

It’s Been A While – Site Update

Yes, I know.

It’s been a while since we last posted. Mostly because, … well, we were just trying to get all the cards listed before Opus XIII came out. Which was supposed to be today. Waiting for the Pre-release kits to come out last week, and when they weren’t arriving at the distributor, I thought, something is not right here. Couple days later, Square Enix announced that Opus XIII will come out at the end of April. Same with the Chaos Boss Decks. Although Europe and Japan already have all of these, we can’t complain … much.

The Sephiroth Tins – Now, this is another case. We’ve been waiting since December, and I now don’t think that they will be arriving at all. I hope I’m wrong and they eventually make their way over here. Hold on, let me make sure before I go on, just incase there’s some news that came out today.

Nope, nothing. I have heard that the Sephiroth Tin orders won’t get fullfilled to the stores.

I hope I’m wrong. I want those Tins.

Now, onto the Site. Our logo is almost finished, just getting some details done. And then our stickers will come in at some point. We started listing Opus III. Opus IV to Opus XII is all done. Started some Opus XIII, but stopped and will have to do Opus XIII from the beginning.

Once all the Opuses (is that it?) are listed we’ll be starting our Card of the Week, where we’ll be highlighting a random card and talking about it.
