29-115L – Bahamut (XVI)

Hmm, I might have been wrong. And, why do I always mix Bahamut (XVI) up with Odin (XVI)?

We already talked about Prime and Dine Dion, so we’ll get straight to Bahamut.

Bahamut comes in you draw 2 cards, and then discard 2 cards. I mean sure, it’s always good to see if you can add better cards to your hand, but the real reason you’re playing this Bahamut, is for Bahamut’s second ability.

Once per turn Bahamut cancels the first auto-ability triggered from a Forward. This in itself is good, but also take a look at Bahamut’s power. a Whopping 9000. It’s going to take your opponent a whole bunch of CP, just to try and send Bahamut to the Break Zone.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this.

29-116H – Madeen

Talk about a Summon.

Put this in every deck.

Madeen = Odin, but better.

For 3CP you can break a Forward.

Any Forward.

And, if you search for a Light card and remove it from the game, you will not only break that Forward, but you’ll remove it from the game as well.

And, the best part? Your opponent can’t do anything to stop it. Once Madeen is cast, that is it. It’s done.

Period.

PERIOD!

I’ll take 3. Full Arts.

That is all.

29-117H – Ark

Ark is a little pricier than Madeen, but Ark makes up for it in power.

Ark can break 2 Forwards, if your search and remove a dark card from the game.

If not, then you’ll deal the 2 Forwards 8000 damage each. Which most of the time, is enough to Break them anyway.

I do prefer Madeen over Ark.

 

 

29-118L – Odin (XVI)

Yes, this is a great card, and you don’t even need to prime into Odin for him to be playable, but Priming does add to this card.

Odin enters the field and break one of your opponent’s Forwards. That alone is good enough reason to play Odin. He only costs 5CP, which is cheaper than the Odin Summons that break a Forward. And, this Odin will stay on the field as a 9K body.

But, what happens when you prime into Odin?

Every time a one of your opponent’s Characters enter the field, Odin will Dull/Freeze them. Meaning that your opponent will not be able to use the cards that they play, until their next turn.

One thing is for sure, everyone is going to be looking for an answer to Odin. It’s kind of like Neo-Exdeath all over again. Now imagine running both of them together.

From Nightmares – The Shadow Figures?

19-103H – Tidus EX

Tidus looks mad, that Yuna didn’t get the same art treatment by Amano this set.

As a card he seems pretty decent. For 4CP you can send a Forward back to your opponent’s deck. At the very bottom of the deck that is. Which is a decent way to get some reprieve from that Forward.

And as long as you have 20 cards in your Break Zone, you can play Tidus onto the field straight from the Break Zone.

You’ll be able to play Tidus,return a Forward, attack or block, and then replay Tidus from the Break Zone to send another Forward back to the bottom of the deck.

It sounds good in my head, let’s see if it plays out.

19-104H – Madeen

Very cheap Summon to play. And it’s a good one. At least I like it. You might not, but this is my opinion.

For 1 whole Crystal Point, you can remove a Forward from the game.

Although you’ll need a Light Forward on the field to cast it, it still is a good card to have in your deck if you do have a Light Forward. If you don’t, then there is no reason to play this card.

 

19-105H – Ark

Free Summon?

You guessed it.

But, you do need to have a 9CP Dark Forward on the field for Ark to be cast for Free. And there are 3 Dark Forwards you can choose from. Nidhogg and Sin x2.

Once you play Ark, you can Break one of your opponent’s Forwards, and that’s not all, they’ll also discard 2 cards from their hand.

That’s what I call a double attack. They won’t know where to run to.

19-106H – Sin

Plenty, and I mean Plenty of Free cards this set.

Of course they all need some requirements to be played for free, but they’re still free.

Sin is free when you have received 6 points of damage. At that point he comes in and since you have 6 points of damage, your opponent will select 3 Forwards or Backups or a combination of the 2 to be sent to the Break Zone.

If Sin is broken, he is removed from the game.

This is your final desperation play. You can probably keep 3 on hand for the end of the game. And if that doesn’t work, well you’re out of luck. You can probably pair Sin with Opus I Tidus for some “Back Against the Wall Shenanigans.”
