Back to Normal?

Here we are, somewhat back to normal. Seems like every time there is a new release, all hell breaks loose as we’re trying to get all the orders out on time. Updating the Site. To feature all the new cards. And, we did get some pretty interesting cards.

I’ve been here and there, all through the internet, and all I saw was most people were saying that this is a bad set. But, I would have to disagree with them. This set is a good set, just because of that beautiful Ultros Full Art. And, that’s not the only reason. There are plenty of good cards in this set. Take Palom and Porom for example. I believe that these 2 are a great team, compliment each other and with the right protection, will be nearly unbeatable.

What about Gogo? He might not be a Legend, but he can use their abilities when they are cast and Gogo is on the field.
We’ve had some Bannings and Restrictions on some cards. It’s probably old news to some of you, but I’ll still mention it.

Banned

Sterne Leonis (14-118H)
Doga (13-120H)
Mioune (5-067R)

 

Restricted

Sophie (13-119L)

Endangered

Fat Chocobo (9-051R)
Syldra (12-097H)
Macherie (14-116H)

Speaking of Restricted cards. Our Card of the week has been restricted to just Jessie, for the past couple of weeks, and probably many more to come. For some reason some parts of the website have been out of whack. We’ll be working on it soon enough. I need to put Ultros up as the Card of the Week, every other week. Just for the art. Great looking card.

We’re also getting ready to host F(L)NM. Friday Late Night Magic. Thought as we might as well give it a try. Friday December, 17th. 10:30 PM. We’re giving it a try. If we can get some people to show up, we might continue forward with it.

-War of the Visions-

Spoiler Alert. Sort of.

Where was I when we last did this. I think I was talking shit about Mont last time. And, that’s OK cause he deserves it. For the most part.

Now, I finally reached the to be continued page on the game. Meaning I’m all caught up on the story and can focus on training my Units, the Events and the Raids. Maybe even possibly help out the Guild I’m in. I just signed up for the daily bonuses.

*Evil Laugh

It’s funny how the story can make you feel about a character from one instance to another. Take Luartha for example. Before I did not care for her. Not at all. She was one of the characters that could die and I could care less if she did. But, once we got to the Luartha’s past scenes, Things changed. Luartha made much more sense, and it was perfectly clear why she was acting the way that she was. How could it be that one little scene in the whole game, make me want to add Luartha to the main team? She was the first Homonculus created by Sadali. “Sorrow” Just like Whisper, and the other two who I can’t seem to remember their names right now. She explained everything to Viktora and now the duo is like Bonnie and Clyde. Can’t wait to see what they’ll get into next.

Some new Characters showed up in Part 2. I’m still undecided on most of them, as none have shown anything memorable so far. Engelbert on the other hand, donned the Golden Armor and pretty much sacrificed himself. Unless he take it off soon.
And that is where we are at, at the moment.

End Spoilers. Sort of.

Time to figure out what’s wrong with the Card of the Week. Until next time.

Fly Me to the Moon

Golbez is up next as our card of the week. We skipped a couple of the Opus XIII Legends, because well, Llednar you can just look at Shara, and Spiritus and Materia, well I believe the review we did for them was enough.

Golbez here is ready to take you on with help of the Archfiends, because it’s not worth playing this if you aren’t playing with Archfiends, with your back against the wall.

On to the card

5CP – Lightning/Wind
Forward
Job : Warlock
Category : LOV – IV
Legend
9000 Power

“EX BURST When Golbez enters the field, you may search for 1 card of cost 2 and add it to your hand.

Damage 6 ― When Golbez enters the field, you may search for up to 3 cards of cost 2 and add them to your hand. Then, you may play any number of Job Archfiend from your hand onto the field.”

5 cost, but you get to search for a card. End of the day you’re only paying 3CP for 9K. Which is pretty good. And at 6 Damage, you’re actually up 3CP.

The plan is to flood the board with the 4 Archfiends with your back against the wall, hoping that it’s enough to take down your opponent. Just grab the 4 Archfiends from Opus XIII and call it a day. They are all 2CP of different elements and they all come with some great abilities to slowly pick apart your opponent.

Ideally you would want to play Cagnazzo first, in order for him to get the Water Counters, then you would play Scarmiglione, for next damage dealt is double to one forward. Rubicante to deal that forward a minimum of 10K. And finally Barbaricia to deal 8K to one Forward since you’ll have a total of four Archfiends on the board.

Now, there’s more to it than just Archfiends. You can search for any card 2 cost card. Rikku (2-071R) is a good choice, a good backup to activate all your forwards right before you end your turn so that they can block. Lightning (5-116H) comes in with Haste and leaves the field at the end of the turn. Luso (9-058L), cheap 2CP/5K body that gets stronger for each Forward you have on the field. And if all 4 Archfiends just came in, that’s +5K including Golbez. Kunshira (13-114H) cheap card to play with an amazing ability. Shikaree X (12-044R), Shikaree Y (12-045R), and Shikaree Z (12-046R) the trio from Opus XII, when played correctly can cause you opponent 3 point of Damage.

Then there is Mioune (5-067R) and Chocobo (10-055H), both will let you return Golbez to your hand, in order to play him once again at Damage 6 and search for 4 cards. Now imagine that you can grab up to 16 cards in one turn. Combine that with a Well timed Sheoll from Illua (5-099H), and I believe that you can clear the board and win the game in 1 turn. A little tweaking here and there, but it is possible.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
