The Korner of Dragoon

06/16

Mondays are the hardest. Not really. It’s just hard to get much done on Mondays. Depending on the Monday as well, We’re mostly getting things set up for the week. Finishing this post for the Website, and scheduling the Card of the Day for Instagram and Facebook.

After that, it is time to figure out what we’re going to do this week. We’re going to start sorting the Basketball cards into team lots, and after that, we are going to start restocking FFTCG. Again. Because well as I mentioned, Organizing the office, is bringing out some surprises. Items I forgot we had. And, what do you do with all that stuff? You give the people what they want.

06/17

Sorted all those NBA cards into Teams, and there isn’t enough to make 100 card lots. Guess I’m going to have to find some more cards. Anyone selling? $10 per thousand. Surprisingly, there were barely any Chicago Bulls cards.

Took out the PS2 and Dirge of Cerberus. I had to try out all these PlayStation controllers and Memory Cards I had, and I figured what better way than play a very underrated game. My daughter saw it and she wanted to play, I told her she could, but we had to check to see if all the controllers work first. She played for 15 minutes and then got bored. If it ain’t Roblox, they don’t like it.

06/18

Wednesday, it was raining all night. It’s still wet outside. The way I see it there’s a 50/50 chance for the Swap in Alsip. I decided to go anyway. What’s the worst that could happen? I go and I come back with nothing.

As I rolled into the Swap-O-Rama, it wasn’t busy, but there were some Vendors there. And, it turned out that it was Free Admission today. Probably cause it was dead. That didn’t stop me though. Was it worth it? Yeah I would say so. Found a Memory Card for the PS2, a Macbook Pro, and a bunch of Michael Jordan Basketball cards. You can never go wrong with MJ cards. Also picked up a Soccer ball for the kids.

Spent the night getting back at organizing the office. We now have our photo station almost ready. There’s about 5 more shelves left to organize, and these will be the hardest. Best way I can think of is by getting rid of everything, but that would mean starting over.

06/19

I got up hoping that the rain stopped from last night, and then I thought if it didn’t stop I can sleep for a couple more hours. The rain did stop, and it took me a long time to wake the kids up. They sure didn’t want to get up today. Too bad. We have Garage Sales to go and find. Plus, we have to check if the Flea Market is open today. I doubt it will be because of all the rain, and it’s held in a lot that’s all dirt. That lot was all muddy and filled with puddles.

Found a couple of Garage Sales, but nothing worth buying.

Ended up starting a restock with all the FFTCG cards I found, we’re going to go through all of the Opus again. Starting with Opus I. They are all on TCG Player and eBay. I’m pretty sure that I have more Opus I cards somewhere, but can’t remember where I put them.

06/20

I think I’m going to have a bunch of empty binders soon. They’re all in great condition, I just won’t be using them cause they take up a lot more room than a 1000ct box. I’ll keep some binders ready to go for when I do shows, but other than that they take up too much space and that space is more valuable than the binders at the moment.

Going to start Opus II today. Plenty of Legends to be added.

I started watching the Club World Cup. Mostly for noise, I’ll look at the TV once in a while when I hear something going on.

06/21

          It’s hot outside. That doesn’t mean we’re staying inside. We still have work to do. Better to get out there early before things really heat up. It was pretty empty. Only half the vendors were at the Swap in Alsip. Still found something interesting. Ashton Drake Galleries Peanuts Perpetual Calendar Figurines. It’s a mouthful. I was on the fence about them. I passed by them a couple of times and finally looked them up. Saw the one that was there sold for 30 a while ago. I decided to grab it. Then the gentleman told me to get the one with the box. I looked and there were 10 figurines in total. I picked them all up.

Headed to Robbins, and that was dead as well. It’s too hot and everyone does not want to sit in the sun all day. I wouldn’t either.

Headed home early today, cause we had a birthday party to go to. Pick up a gift went home, and head to the party. The kids had fun, and I was sitting under an umbrella, but the wind picked up and launched that umbrella 15 ft into the air, out into the parking lot. Yep, I’m don’t with that, let me head over to a more open area.

Once we got back home I started looking more into these Perpetual Calendar Figurines. (I wouldn’t have picked them up, but I’m a sucker or Snoopy.) Some of these sold for a couple hundred. That’s all I needed to see. Got them all ready pictured up and ready to go on eBay. Not on the main shop, on our second one that’s for items that are not very Kardboard Kornerlike. I think I mentioned that one before. Not much is on it yet, but we’re slowly filling it up. Actually I hope it always stays pretty empty. That means we’re selling everything fast.

06/22

It’s still hot outside.

I finished up Opus II this morning, and got caught up on this weekends orders. After that my son got up, and I asked him jokingly if he wanted to go to the Flea Market, surprisingly he said yes. So, off we go. It was actually pretty busy, but just like yesterday, there weren’t that many vendors there.

Didn’t find much today. Just Megaman 11, and Def Jam Vendetta. Def Jam would have been a great pickup, but it did not want to work when I tested it. So, in the garbage it goes. No point in keeping it.

Opus III is up right now. Plenty of great cards, that were found in the vault. Legends, Heroes and King Tycoon!

Opus Restock III & V

We managed to get some Opus III and Opus V booster packs. Relive the early days where you were hoping to find Genesis in Opus III, or Wol in Opus V. Or, you can just keep them sealed and wonder what’s inside.

Either way, we have them. I’ll drop the links right under this line.

Opus III

Opus V

There are still plenty of cards that are usable in these sets.

And, don’t forget that King Tycoon is in Opus III.

Hot Singles!

Emissaries of Light – Thoughts on Wind

16-043H – Atomos

How good do you think this card is?

Very good? I agree.

Atomos is currently auditioning for a role in Re-Animator, but this version of the movie will be called “Re-Activater” along side Rikku (2-071R). They’ll be bringing your Backups back from the Dead.

 

16-044L – Wol

Wol is here to make all your powerful Forwards, even more powerful. Not being able to be chosen by your opponents Summons or abilities. And, drawing a card when they come in.

Drawbacks?

Those Forwards need to have a cost of at least 5CP.

 

16-045C – Gargoyle

See, like Gargoyle here, The Forwards protected by Wol will not be able to be broken.

But, if Wol isn’t on the field, Gargoyle can take care of that pesky high cost Forward that is troubling you.

And then for 1CP you can take a sneak peak at the top 2 cards of your deck. If you like them, keep them. If not, just move them to the bottom of your deck, and hope for better cards.

16-046C – Chocobo Chick (VII)

For some reason I thought this card was a Backup.

But, even as a Summon, you might get some use out of this card. Pay 4 CP to activate the 4 Backups you just dulled to draw 1 card.

There might be something I’m missing.

 

16-047R – Sherlotta EX

Whatever happens Sherlotta is giving you at least 1 Crystal.

After that she will block Forwards until she is sent to the Break Zone, and give you another Crystal.

Or just chuck her from your hand for 1 Crystal.

 

16-048H – Zidane

Like we said earlier. Lani/Zidane Fire/Wind decks are coming.

Now we just need to find a way to keep bouncing Zidane back and forth.

Over and Over again.

Take control of your opponents deck.

 

16-049R – Seiryu EX

Another Shijin

4CP/7K. You’ll search for a Shijin upon entry, and Seiryu also comes in with built in protection.

No need for Wol.

 

16-050H – Ceodore

Ceodore comes in causes havoc, if you decide to dull 3 FFIV Characters, you can Break 1 of your opponents high cost Characters.

Ceodore seems to fit well into a Category IV deck. Simply because all his abilities involve IV Characters.

Real Sherlock Holmes here.

Tell me something I didn’t know.

Well, you can play Ceodore for free with Cecil. We’ll get to more about that in a moment.

16-051L – Cecil

For 5CP, you can play Cecil, and another card from your hand that’s 4CP or less. And if that card you play is a FFIV Character, you get to activate 2 Backups. Doing the math that means, if you played a IV cost IV Character (get what I did there?) you’ll actually end up +1CP.

Worst case scenario, you only save 1 Crystal Point, but why would you play a 1 cost when you can play anything up to 4CP.

And, the icing on the cake, is that Cecil protects all your Characters. forcing your opponent to pay 2CP just to make sure their Summons and abilities go through.

16-052C – Selkie

There’s a couple of cards we’ve seen so far that break Characters of cost 4 or more. Wol will be a card that I can see many people use do to the protection Wol grants.

But, we’re talking about Selkie here.

Selkie can sit on stand by until you need her. And, when you need her, at 5 points of Damage, she’ll break a Character of cost 4 or more. Take that, (insert pesky forward here.)

 

16-053H – King Tycoon

King Tycoon banishing most of your opponents board, because that’s what Kings can do.

As soon as he enters the field, you can return all the Forwards and Monsters your opponent controls to their hand.

Or just some of the cards. You don’t want to return any of the cards that have On entry abilities.

 

16-054C – Chocobo

The pixelated Chocobo, comes in and grabs a 2 cost Character or less from the Break Zone.

If you’re playing Chocobos, you’ll probably end up grabbing another Chocobo.

 

 

 

16-055C – Chocobo Sam

Chocobo Sam knows where all the Chocobos are. That’s why you’ll play him and find a Chocobo. Specifically Chocobo (6-050C). That way you’ll be able to play a free Chocobo every time it is your turn.

Plus, giving a Chocobo +3K for a turn let’s you know you’ll have the extra fire power if needed.

 

 

16-056R – Fat Chocobo

Fat Chocobo has one job.

That is to let you grab a Wind card from your hand at the end of each of your turns. If you’re playing Chocobos this might be a decent card to throw in your deck.

And for a simple dull, you’ll be able to play a Wind Backup once per turn.

And, keep a Fat Chocobo in your hand, because if Fat Chocobo gets hit by a Summon or ability, that 10K will keep him alive.

16-057C – Ninja

Uhm, well …

Removing 2 cards for 2000 damage?

I think I’ll pass.

 

 

16-058R – Fina

Comes with built in protection.

And, gives you the option of canceling an auto-ability, when she’s not even on the field. Sure you’ll need at least 4 Wind Backups on the field to be able to use it, but Fat Chocobo will be there to help you out with that one.

 

 

16-059C – Pecciotta EX

Is Morze’s Soiree Member going to become something?

Pecciotta here will help it become it. Activating all of Soiree when he enters the field.

The more I see these cards, the more I want to give it a try.

Time to crack open some Emissaries of Light and find all the cards I need.

 

16-060C – Madam M EX

I’m starting to see a pattern with all the Wind cards this set.

Madam M comes in and let’s you grab a Wind Character, if you find one when you reveal the top 4 cards of your deck.
Other than that, this 4 cost Backup is technically only 2CP.

 

 

16-061R – Yuri

Just like I just said, Yuri does the same thing as Madam M, but better.

This way you might actually play a card straight from your deck onto the field.

Or you can just grab any card if you can’t find a 3CP Wind Character.

 

 

16-062C – Lexa

Protect Madam Edel, that is Lexa’s job. More on that later.

A simple 2 cost Backup, that dulls and grants a Soiree Member, or Madam Edel +1K.

 

 

 

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.
