Gunslinger in the Abyss

Well this is a surprise. I wasn’t expecting this yet. They usually show us a new set during Spoiler Season.

Gunslinger in the Abyss.

There’s only one Gunslinger that I can think of and that is Vincent, and as you would have guessed right away, Vincent is on the Box. Bringing his total up to 2. Vincent still has a long way to go in order to catch Lightning.

We have an August release date, with 42 Full Arts. And, Square Enix is shaking things up with smaller Booster Boxes. The Booster Boxes will now only have 18 packs instead of 36, and from what I understand after reading this, a Master Case will have 4 cases of 6. Will we still be able to get a complete set of Full Arts from a Master Case? There’s only one way to find out.

Legacy cards we have three once more, and this time the Warring Triad is taking up all 3 spots. The Demon, The Goddess and The Fiend. Only thing that’s missing is Kefka ready to make use of them.

And, we have our first Spoilers for Opus XXVI – Gunslinger of the Abyss. Yes, I still use Opus.

Bartz – 26-053L

You can pay using your Crystals instead of CP to cast Bartz. 0CP for an 8k body. I’m liking this already.

When Bartz enters the field, you reveal the top 2 cards of your deck, and you can play a Character of 3CP or less onto the field. The rest go into your hand.

Meaning that if you paid with Crystal, you can gain 4CP.

You’ll come out ahead in Crystal Points. Other than that, I’ll have to try this card out to see if I like it or not.

Vincent – 26-068L

Now the Sample is blocking out some key information.

But, I’m going to take a guess.

Vincent enters the field, and deals 9000 damage to al the Forwards that cost three or less, meaning that most of those Forwards will be broken.

And, whenever Vincent is chosen by a Forward’s ability or your opponent’s Summons, Vincent deals a Forward 9000 damage. Either to the Forward that has an ability targeting Vincent, or to a Forward of your choosing.

One this is for sure.

Vincent will be dealing 9000 damage in some form or another.

We’ll get more information up soon.

Kain Highwind

Shop for Singles at our TCG Player Store!

The prideful Dragoon, unable to show his true feelings.

Commander of Baron’s Dragoons, he is Cecil’s childhood friend and occasional rival. Kain’s secret feelings for his childhood friend Rosa allow Golbez to seize control of his mind and force him to become Cecil’s enemy. Once released from the brainwashing, Kain feels remorse and seeks to atone for his actions by joining the fight against the true mastermind, Zemus.

-Taken from the Ultimania

Commander of the Dragoons, Kain is no stranger to mind tricks, especially when they work against him.

Let’s take a look at all of Kain’s cards.

1-127H – Kain EX

At 6CP, this card is expensive for today’s decks. There are plenty of cards that will do what Kain does, and they will do it better.

But, this is still Kain.

Kain comes in and you choose a Forward and they lose 5000 power. That can be enough to break most Forwards. Especially the low cost ones.

We also have Dragoon’s Pride, which looks more like a Reverse Jump.

Kain will break a Forward, but Kain will not activate during the next Active Phase. Meaning that Kain attacks and then he jumps out of harm’s way.

2-103H – Kain

How did I never really read this card?

This is actually pretty good.

Kain comes in with Haste. You can then use his ability and your opponent will not be able to choose him with their Summons and abilities.

After that, during your next turn, Kain’s power will double. Which turns Kain into a 10K body. 12K if you have Lulu on the field. I’m sure there are also plenty of other ways to increase Kain’s power as well.

2-104R – Kain

How is this Rare, better than the Hero card of the same set?

If Rosa is on the field Kain gains Haste, First Strike and +2000 power. But, that is not the reason you’ll be playing Kain.

As Commander of the Dragoons, all Dragoons gain +2000 power.

You probably don’t even need Rosa to play Kain.

This makes a huge difference in how I see Dragoons.

I might even build a Dragoon deck for myself now.

Just to try it out.

6-090H – Kain

Golbez? There’s no Dark Golbez.

No wait actually there is. But, I doubt your opponent will be playing it. They’ll more than likely be playing Chaos.

For 3CP, you get a 9K body, which is good if your opponent isn’t playing any Dark cards. Cause if they are as soon as that Dark Forward enters the field, Kain gets his brain washed and your opponent takes control of him.

The only way to get him back is to send your opponent’s Dark Forward to the Break Zone.

I like it that it plays into the story, but I’ll pass on this one.

9-084H – Kain

It was something about Kain and Ranperre.

Discard Ranperre before paying the cost to cast Kain to make him 3CP, and then Ranperre plays a Final Fantasy XI Forward from your hand onto the field. Which would turn the tides a bit in your favor.

Other than that, for 3CP you get an 8k body, and when Kain enters the field, one of your opponent’s Forward loses 8000 damage until the end of the turn.

We already know that you will not be paying 8CP to cast Kain. So, is there any other Lightning Backup to toss and get a better effect?

10-134S – Kain

Coming in with Haste, this Kain does not receive damage unless he blocks an attack, or his attack gets blocked.

That means that in order to keep Kain safe, he should not attack or block.

And, we know that’s not going to happen.

Gungnir? Yes, Kain gains +5K power and First Strike until the end of the turn. This gives you another way to keep Kain alive.
Here’s an idea. Fill you deck with 50 Kains. and just keep using Gungnir over and over again.

Hey, it might work.

11-054R – Hooded Man EX

There’s a reason why you can’t play Hooded Man and Kain at the same time. I won’t tell you but, you probably already know.
When Hooded Man comes into play you can grab a Final Fantasy IV Forward from your Break Zone. Which by itself is a great reason to play Hooded Man. Let’s not forget that this comes off as an EX Burst as well.

And, that’s not all. Hooded Man has one more ability that will make him a mainstay in any Final Fantasy IV deck. At the end of every turn, yours and your opponent’s Hooded Man wil activate all of your Final Fantasy IV Forwards.

What’s not to like?

13-073H – Kain

Kain is a great card if you can play him straight from the Break Zone. Cause once he gets broken, he’ll be under your opponents control.

Thancred (12-124L) and Y’shtola (13-134S) can play him straight out of the Break Zone.

15-048L – Kain EX

Attack and choose. Draw a card or Activate all the Characters other than Kain?

All the Characters? Characters?

Every time Kain attacks you can Activate your whole board?

Screw the extra card. Get me some blockers, and Edge, Opus I Maria, and anyone else that can help protect Kain.

Oh. And, some characters that will give me Crystals. Don’t want to lose Kain at the end of my turn.

17-102L – Hooded Man

This time Hooded Man comes in with Haste, and when he enters the field you can remove either a Kain or a Hooded Man from your Break Zone, if you do so, you can activate all of your Backups, and you can draw a card as well. Bringing Hooded Man’s cost down to 2CP.

How is this a Legend?

What am I missing?

You’re just paying to activate your Backups and have a Meat shield on the field.

17-131S – Kain

Haste? Check

Way to reduce the CP cost? Check

Buffs self when attacking? Check

All in all Kain here is a decent card. You might end up only paying 1CP for Kain, and if you do he’s an attacking Forward with 9K power.

 

17-136S – Kain

Kain allows you to grab a FFIV Water Character from the Break Zone.Plenty of Characters that you can choose from.

Other than that he can come in with Haste depending on the field situation.

3CP, 7000 power.

How badly do you need that Water Character in your Break Zone?

 

 

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.

22-041C – Kain

Haste, and First Strike for a Common?

Activate 2 Characters when Kain Attacks?

+1000 power at 3 points of Damage?

How is this a common?

Whatever Rarity Kain has, this card is great. Actually it’s GRRRRREAT!

And, don’t get me started on the artwork, because we’re not here to talk about the artwork.

Just throw Kain into any Wind deck and you’ll do fine.

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.

Cecil Harvey

Shop for Singles and more at our TCG Player Store!

Compassionate knight troubled by his way of life.

-Captain of Baron’s airship fleet, the Red Wings. Cecil fulfills his duty as a Dark Knight, but eventually leaves his homeland, unable to obey his king’s cruel orders any longer. He begins a battle against Golbez, who appears to be the one pulling the strings behind Baron’s campaign to gather the crystals. On his journey, Cecil faces his demons and is transformed into a holy Paladin. Anguishing over his friend Kain’s betrayal, Cecil is shocked to learn that he and Golbez are actually brothers descended from the Lunerian moon people. Even so, he continues to fight for the future of the Blue Planet and all who live there.

-Taken from the Ultimania

Where do we even start?

Cecil, the main protagonist of Final Fantasy IV. Has 18 different cards. Let’s take a look back down memory lane and check these all out once more.

1-108H – Cecil

Dark Knight of Baron.

3CP, 7000 power.

Not much going on here.

Cecil just waits for you to receive damage. And, and once you do Cecil deals one of your opponent’s Forward 5000 damage.
Isn’t that what Dark Knights do? Receive damage to make their attacks more powerful?

Then why is the damage dealt less than Cecil’s power?

It’s still ok.

Did Dark Knights ever become a thing?

1-162R – Cecil

Cecil had 2 cards in Opus I, and this is the second one.

Coming in at 5CP, with 8000 power, Cecil is the perfect Meat Shield. Literally. Cause, that’s what Paladins are. Glorified Meat Shields.

All of your opponent’s Summons and abilities must choose Cecil. No, ifs, ands, or buts. Period.

This is a card that can go into any Water deck and be useful.

Is it still useful today?

It can be. There might be better cards that will do the same thing for less CP, which I can’t name any off of the top of my head at the moment.

2-129L – Cecil

See this is a much better Paladin. You can see that Opus II Cecil is a major upgrade from Opus I Paladin Cecil.

Still 5CP, but this time Cecil has 9000 power. He is a Legend after all.

Cecil grants all of your Forwards Protection from Summons and abilities that deal damage. Plus he gives all of the Forwards other Forwards on your front line +1000 power.

Only draw back would be that Cecil must block, whenever possible.

But with 9000 power. You should be all right.

5-086L – Cecil EX

We’re only at Opus V, and all of these Cecils keep getting better.

Dark Knight Cecil here is breaking dull Forwards, whenever he enters the field. You can choose any dull Forward as long as it’s cost is equal to or less than the points of damage you have received.

This ability also comes off of an EX Burst.

And Dark, Cecil’s S ability which will break a Forward whose cost is equal to or less than the points of damage you have received. This ability also deals you a point of damage.

You can also just throw 3 of these into your deck, and hope you pull one when you receive damage.

7-135S – Cecil EX

Cecil comes in and activates 2 of your Characters. This also comes off of an EX Burst. Just in case you need to activate a couple of blockers.

If you have received 5 points of damage, Cecil gains +2k power and he can not be chosen by your opponent’s abilities.

Here’s an idea, if you’re playing Earth/Wind, You can play Dark Knight Cecil until you have 5 points of damage, and then find a way to break him, to play this Cecil.

It’ll be like playing Final Fantasy IV. You’ll start off as a Dark Knight, and transform into a Paladin later on in the game.

9-109H – Cecil

You’ll need another couple of Final Fantasy IV Characters on the field if you want to get Cecil’s full power. And, that is Brave and +2000 power for Cecil.

One time per turn you can use Cecil’s ability, we’ll call it Cover. You can choose one of your Forwards, and next time it is dealt damage, you can reduce the damage taken by that Forward by 4000 and deal that damage to Cecil. Allowing your other Forward to survive and live to fight another day. Or turn.

4CP for 10,000 power isn’t bad at all.

 

10-115C – Cecil

I’d say I don’t see anyone playing this Cecil, but then I thought about it and said. I’m 99% right. There will be a couple of people playing this card, just because they aren’t putting it in an FFIV deck.

Cecil is a 2 cost Backup that can be thrown into the Break Zone and reduce the damage dealt to one of your Forwards by 2000.

Yea, …

 

13-060R – Cecil

Not one of the better Cecil’s, but it might be worth the 1 point of Damage to get rid of a forward that’s been causing you trouble. And if that extra point of Damage gives you Brave, and +1K, well you might actually play this card.

 

 

 

 

15-073H – Cecil

The OG Dark Knight. Move over Batman, you ain’t got nothing on Cecil.

If you got a Crystal, you’re good. If not you shall receive 1 point of Damage when Cecil enters the field. Which isn’t too bad, because at 3 points of Damage, when Cecil is broken, you can search for another Cecil and play it onto the field. You’ll need another Crystal for that Cecil as well. Unless you go with another Cecil.

Souleater?

Yes, please. Throw in a whole bunch of Cecil’s into your deck just so you can use this ability over and over. And, when it lands you’ll deal your opponent 2 points of Damage. Watch out for those EX Bursts.

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.
tenebrous blast

luminous blast

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.

 

17-050C – Cecil EX

6CP to draw a card?

I think I’ll pass.

I don’t see much use for this. There are plenty of cards that will draw you a card for much less.

Some of those even have better abilities as well.

 

 

17-139S – Cecil

There are better Cecils, but every time I say that, someone comes up with a way that makes this one even better than the other ones.

So, I’ll just say that Cecil here can have up to 10K Power with Brave.

That and if you dull your FFIV Characters, you can dull Forwards and deal damage and stuff.

 

 

20-075L – Cecil

Is 3 CP worth a point of damage?

Depends on what you’re playing. If you need that point of damage to buff up all your Forwards because you just received 5 points of damage then go right ahead.

Besides that, Cecil remains true to his story. As he can turn his Dark Knight self, into a Paladin. All you have to do is cross the mirror. Or get sent to the Break Zone. Whichever one is easier. For when you put Cecil into the Break Zone, you can search for a Paladin Cecil, and play him onto the field.

That Emissaries of Light Cecil, is looking good with this right now.

And Tenebrous Blast, just a special ability that deals 8000 damage to a Forward.

20-109H – Cecil

The other Cecil is better in my opinion.

This Cecil is basically a Crystal Generator.

Once per turn, if Cecil or a FFIV Character enters the field you gain 1 Crystal.

And, you can use that Crystal to give one of your FFIV Forward +1000 power and protection from your Forwards abilities.

Are the Golbez and Cecil decks going to shoot up in value soon?

21-132S – Cecil

What’s not to like about this card?

Built in protection. Cecil is a Paladin like no other. Or so they say.

4CP/8000 power. Can’t be chosen by abilities, can’t take damage from abilities. A meat Shield at it’s finest.

Cecil also buffs all of the other Dissidia Forwards with +2000 power.

And, if that’s not enough, Paladin Force breaks those pesky high cost Forwards that like to stick around the field more than they should.

Now if Cecil had some FFIV synergy, this card would have been awesome.

23-028L – Cecil

Move over Batman, Cecil is the real Dark Knight.

As you can see, all of Cecil’s abilities deal damage to you. Is it worth using these abilities, or even playing Cecil? Well that depends. Do you need to inflict damage upon yourself in order for your deck to get that much stronger.

If the answer is yes, then yes you should play Cecil. Just imagine your back is pinned to the wall, and all of a sudden you reach 5 points of damage and you cast Dark Flame. Most likely, wiping out your opponents front line.

All that’s left is for you to come in a get the win.

24-100C – Cecil

Now, this is how it should be done.

Cecil is the Backup that is always ready to cast Null Damage.

Although you won’t be drawing a card when you cast Cecil, Cecil is only 2CP, compared to the 3CP that Siren costs.

Cecil also has another ability that will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Either way, Cecil is going to get something done, Breaking or Saving.

The choice is up to you.

Looking for Cecil?

24-109R – Dion

Is this a Light Prime? Zero Sugar?

Well, we don’t have much to say about Dion. Not without Bahamut, and since we haven’t seen Bahamut yet, we can’t say much about that.

As of right now, all we know is that Dion costs 3CP and has an 8K body.

And when Dion or another Character Primes, you draw a card.

That can be worth playing Dion by himself, without worrying about Bahamut.

Let’s find out what Bahamut does.

24-110L – Bahamut (XVI)

And wouldn’t you know it Bahamut is right after Dion.

You won’t be playing Bahamut from your hand, that much is for sure, cause if you do you you won’t get to use his Priming ability. Which is dealing 2 Forwards 9000 damage.

Bahamut does come in with Brave, and a whopping 10,000 power. Making Bahamut a great Meat Shield.

Zettaflare?

Yes, Bahamut can choose 1 Forward, have it lose all of it’s abilities and then Bahamut sends it to the Break Zone.

If you Prime, yes. If you don’t, maybe.

24-111H – Lucio

Is Lucio the card need to run an efficient Warriors of the Crystal deck?

Let’s find out.

Lucio comes in and allows you to search for 2 Warriors of the Crystal. Bringing his cost from 5CP down to 1CP.

Once your Attack Phase begins, Lucio will gain +2000 power and he’ll grant you 2 Crystals.

You can use those Crystals in your Main Phase 2 to play to Warriors of the Crystal. Most likely the 2 that you just grabbed from your deck. Each one will cost you 1CP and a Crystal. We’re already way ahead now.

And, Scintillating Edge. Grab a Forward and remove it from the game.

You can’t go wrong here, The Warrior of the Kindlelight, is ready to take one any deck with all of his fellow Warrior of the Crystals.

24-112L – Odin (XVI)

Are we Priming yet?

Odin is!

And he’s ready to hit a 3 Hit Combo!

Odin already has Haste and First Strike. Once Barnabas primes into Odin, Odin self activates when he attacks. And then Odin can attack twice. And, these effects stay on Odin throughout the game.

Odin will keep attacking twice per turn throughout the whole game, and he will always be active. No Brave needed.

What about this 3 Hit Combo we mentioned?

I have two words for you. No, not those 2 words. The words we’re talking about is Iron Flash.

When you use Odin’s S ability, You will acitvate Odin (you won’t need to worry about that, unless your opponent Dulls Odin), and he can attack one more time this turn. Making Odin hit a 3 hit Combo. 4 hits, if you have an extra Odin in your hand.

As of right now, I think Odin is the best Eikon at the moment. He’ll pin your opponent to the wall, all you’ll need to do is figure out how you’re going to grab Odin back from the Break Zone.

Over and over again.

24-113R – Barnabas (XVI)

Barnabas’s, just like Dion’s, ability goes into effect every time Barnabas or a Character you control primes. You’ll be able to choose a Forward that your opponent controls, and have it lose 8000 power until the end of the turn.

Sometimes you’ll send that Forward to the Break Zone, sometimes it will survive.

Barnabas does have First Strike, and he comes on the field with 8000 power. Making him a somewhat decent Forward.

But, you won’t keep Barnabas like that, you’ll prime him into Odin A.S.A.P.

Imagine what it would be like, if we were able to have both Light and Dark Characters on the field at the same time.

24-114H – Raph

For some reason I was expecting a green turtle.

The final Warrior of the Crystal.

Nothing too crazy here.

Raph enters the field and 1 of your opponent’s Forwards loses 4000 power for each Crystal you have.

I mean that’s not bad, but you’ll already need to have Crystals for Raph to be worth anything.

And, if you do have some Crystals, you can use 1 to give Raph, so she can not be targeted by your opponent’s Summon’s or abilities.

3CP, 9K power. I think I’ll prefer using Lucio over Raph.

Hidden Legends of Water

Shop these Singles and more at our TCG Player Store!

24-091L – Astrius

Water starting off with a Legend.

Astrius, the Willweaver, will weave your will to get things done.

Just make sure that you always attack when Astrius is on the field, for whenever he attacks, you get to choose between Astrius’s two abilities.

And, 99.99% of the time you will be choosing his second ability, because the first one is just choosing a Forward and having it lose 7000 power.

The second ability, the one that you will be choosing is dealing your opponent 1 point of damage.

And just like that Astrius is worth 5CP. I’m sure we would gladly pay more for this card, but 5CP is perfect.

To make things even better, if you have 7 Final Fantasy Brave Exvius cards in the Break Zone, or removed from game, Astrius turns into a Free Play! And, who doesn’t like Free Plays.

24-092R – Gau

I’m trying to see if Gau is worth playing.

Discard Gau, to play Gau, but which Gau do you play.

Do you pay 5CP, or just 2CP?

I mean, you can grab Opus IV Gau, and Luminous Puma, grab a Forward from the Break Zone, and once the new Gau comes in you can play a 2 cost monster from the Break Zone. Melusine sounds good, and once Melusine comes in you can choose one of your opponent’s Forwards that cost 4CP or less and gain control of it for a turn.

And that’s just one little Combo that you can do with Gau.

24-093R – Kimahri

Kimahri coming in when your opponent least expects it, through the back door, and casting Protect on all your Forwards.

All damage dealt to your Forwards will be reduced by 2000, for the turn that Kimahri comes in. Your Final Fantasy X Forwards will have an additional 2000 reduction to the damage dealt to them.

After that turn is over, Kimahri will still reduce the damage dealt to your Final Fantasy X Forwards.

Are we bringing back YRP?

We might finally have a decent Kimahri.

24-094C – Corsair

I still don’t know what a Corsair actually is.

But, I do know what Corsair does.

He let’s you draw a card. And for 3CP that can be more than enough.

And, let’s not forget that if you have 4 Water Backups on the field, you can chose a card in your Break zone, and put it at the bottom of your deck.

After that just search for that card and play it.

Not bad.

24-095C – Jecht

Jecht is Jecht, and he e-Jechts a Forward back to their opponent’s hand.

Yes, that was terrible.

But, it’s true, as soon as Jecht enters the field you will return one of your opponent’s Forwards back to their hand.

And, every time one of your opponent’s Forwards is returned to their hand, Jecht shall choose another Forward your opponent controls and they lose 3000 power. This will also go into effect every time you return a Forward to their owner’s hand.

And, you get to keep a 9K body on the board.

No re-Jecht-ion here.

24-096R – Jed

Hmm, I wonder what he’s thinking?

Actually I know what Jed is thinking. He’s thinking, “Why is he a Water card if he is a Samurai?”

We were kind of thinking the same thing.

Jed comes in and for 3CP, you get a 8K body. If you have at least 1 Crystal, Jed has 9K power and Brave.

And, when Jed attacks, you have the option of paying 1 Crystal to draw a card.

There actually is another Water Samurai. But, that is Jed as well.

24-097C – Stiltzkin

This is the start of a new era of Moogles.

Stiltzkin is set to make Moogles a fun deck. One letter at a time.

That was Stiltzkin, right? Mailing letters?

If not then well, he shall deliver Moogles from your Break Zone. Cause when Stiltzkin comes in, you can grab a 2 cost Moogle from your Break Zone and play it straight to the field.

Might as well grab Mog (VI) and you’ll be set. Don’t know why, just scroll down a bit.

After that is all done, you can dull 2 Moogles and have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 2000 power.

Stiltzkin might only have 3000 power, but that’s OK. Once he enters the field, and you played the Moogle from your Break Zone, you can use him to block an attack and have him sent to the Break Zone, just so you can play Stiltzkin again and grab another moogle from your Break Zone.

I’ll take 3 Full Arts.

24-098H – Strago

We always wanted a way to get a card back from the Break Zone. Especially when you’re running just one of a certain card that you need in certain situations, and you now need that card to turn the board in your favor.

When Strago comes in you will be able to grab a card from your Damage Zone, and trade it with a card in your hand.
That would be enough, but Strago is far from done. Well, he’s half way done.

Whenever you put a card in your Damage Zone, your opponent chooses a Forward that they control and they put it in the Break Zone.

Is it worth 6CP? Of course it is.

24-099C – Siren (MOBIUS) EX

Null Damage at it’s finest.

Siren nulls the next damage dealt to one of your Forwards.

Plus you get to draw a card.

That’s about it.

This also comes off of an EX Burst, but I don’t see that being as helpful, not when you don’t have any Forwards left on the field cause your opponent has gone to town on your front lines.

At least you get a card. That’s probably the best reason to play this card.

24-100C – Cecil

Now, this is how it should be done.

Cecil is the Backup that is always ready to cast Null Damage.

Although you won’t be drawing a card when you cast Cecil, Cecil is on;y 2CP, compared to the 3CP that Siren costs.

Cecil also has another ability that will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Either way, Cecil is going to get something done, Breaking or Saving.

The choice is up to you.

24-101C – Tidus EX

Tidus with a 50% rebate.

That’s what we’ll call it.

Tidus comes in and returns one of your opponent’s Forwards to their hand, as long as it’s CP is 4 or less.

Once that forward makes it’s way back to your opponent’s hand Tidus’s second ability kicks in and you draw a card.

The good thing about this second ability is that, you can draw a card once per turn, if you send a Character back to your opponent’s hand.

Tidus might just keep on giving.

24-102C – Perrene

Perrene looks to be an integral part of the Warriors of the Crystals, and that is for one reason only.

Every time a Warrior of the Crystal is put into the Break Zone, Perrene hands you a Crystal.

And, why is that good?

Well, as you can see instead of paying the cost to play a Warrior of the Crystal, you can pay 1 Crystal and 1CP of any element. Meaning you don’t need to worry about which elements to play.

Perrene also has an 8K body, making her a decent Meat Shield.

24-103C – Moogle (FFTA)

Here’s a decent Backup to use if you’re playing Tidus.

When a Water Forward enters your field, you can put moogles into the Break Zone and return a 4 cost Forward or less to your opponent’s hand.

After that you can draw a card because you already have Tidus on the field.

Now all you need to do is play Stiltzkin and grab Moogle from the Break Zone and play him onto the field.

And now you’re back to where you started and your opponent has one less Forward on the field.

24-104R – Mog (VI)

Is Mog enough to make a Moogle deck?

Are there enough moogles to make a moogle deck?

What about Good King Moggle Mog XII?

All of that is a strong maybe, and I am one who might look into it a bit better.

For 2CP, you get a moogle with a 5k body and, with every moogle that you have on the field Mog gains +1000 power. There are 59 different cards that you can choose from.

That right there would have been good enough for me. But, we’re not done.

Whenever Mog is put into the Break Zone, you can discard a Job Moogle from your hand, and play Mog back to the field.
You’ll have a high powered Forward that your opponent will have trouble trying to keep Mog off of the field.

24-105R – Malboro

Bad Breath incoming!

Get your opponent ready to face the worst this Monster has to offer.

Blind, Poison, Sleep, Slow, you name it, you’ll have it.

Luckily this isn’t the game, so no Blind, no poison and no slow. Sleep, yeah, but this time Malboro isn’t casting it.

Malboro shall take away all of your opponent’s buffs, and abilities, including Haste, Brave, First Strike whatever it is that their Forwards have is gone.

Not only that, but all of your opponent’s Forwards will lose 3000 power as well. That means that some of them might be broken.

You can’t go wrong with Malboro, and the best part, it only costs 1CP!

24-106H – Leviathan

The Biblical Beast Returns, and it’s taking out it’s fellow Leviathans to cause more destruction to your opponent.

For 3CP, Leviathan allows your opponent to choose a Forward or a Monster that they control and sends them to the Break Zone.

If you’d like to pay the extra cost, you can remove 4 Leviathans from your Break Zone, and your opponent shall choose 2 Forwards and/or Monsters and send those to the Break Zone.

For 3CP, I say you can’t go wrong with this one.

24-107L – Relm

Artwork? Check.

Legend? Check.

Abilities? Depends.

Relm is worth playing if you are playing a FFVI themed deck, as her enter the field ability will only work if there are at least another 4 VI Characters on the field.

If you do, when Relm enter the field, you can search for a 3 cost monster and play it onto the field. It’s your Buy 1 Get 1 Free special.

As you know Relm is a Pictomancer, and her specialty is Monsters.

You can use her second ability to give a Monster a 2K buff.

I’d say it depends on what your running. This isn’t a bad Relm, she will do good in specific FFVI themed decks. For all other decks I would say Opus XI Relm is much better.

24-108H – Wakka

Wakka is here to be a powerhouse.

For every FFX Character that you control, Wakka gains a 1K buff to his power.

Now imagine YRP is back, that is 3 right there, plus Brother and Shinra. That’s 2 more. Bring it up to +5K for Wakka.

When Wakka does enter the field, depending on how high his power is, you’ll be able to choose one of your opponent’s Forwards, and place them on the top of their deck. You can choose any Forward as long as their power is less than Wakka’s. Which shouldn’t be too hard to do.

Wakka also has his Elemental Reels which will have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 5000 power.

I would say, play Wakka with the new YRP, and Opus I Tidus and Emissaries of Light Tidus. You’ll thank me later. Or not.
