16-131S – Jecht
A FFX Starter Set with a card that deals damage to a Forward for each Category X character you have? Who would have thought?
Jecht shines a little more than that. You can put Jecht into the Break Zone and search for a Light or Dark card. You’d think it’s to search for Tidus, which can be true, but Jecht is here to find himself. And bring Sin into your hand, and pretty much break a Forward.
16-132S – Bahamut
Another Bahamut for a “Free” play. That is if you got 10 Fire cards, or FFX Characters in your Break Zone, and Mootie (11-012C) on the field.
Other than that, you’ll most likely remove a Forward from the game. Be it your opponents or your own.
16-133S – Braska
A 2 cost Forward with an easily accessible Special ability that deals 7K Damage to a Forward. And you don’t dull Braska when it goes off. So depending on how many Summons you have in your hand, you can start shooting down Forwards left and right. (Correct me if I’m wrong on this)
Braska’s second ability is a little trickier to pull off, due to the Elements needed to activate it. But it is very well worth the cost, as it deals your opponent one point of Damage.
16-034S – Yuna
Plenty of Yunas to choose from.
Play a 1CP or 2CP card from the Break Zone onto the field. Activate all the Backups you control. and All the Guardians gain +2000 Power. Now, all three of these abilities will only go off, if Yuna enters the field when you have 5 points of Damage.
16-135S – Lulu
I don’t know. Something tells me this card would have been better as a Backup. Being a Forward means that Lulu can be easily broken by your opponent.
But, then again Lulu comes with some built in protection. In case you haven’t noticed.
Lulu enters the field. You search for Yuna, or a Summon if Yuna is already on the field. When Lulu attacks and your opponent Blocks her, all you have to do is cast a Summon. Doesn’t matter which one. Because when that Summon is cast you can choose the Attacking Forward and turn his Power 5K. And since Yuna is already on the field, Lulu gains +2K power, thus making her 7K and successfully beating your opponents Forward which now has 5000 power.
16-136S – Auron
Auron has turned into a Meat Shield, as all Summons and abilities must choose him. And, that’s ok. Because other than just blocking your opponents Forwards, or taking a hit from Summons and abilities. Auron will let you draw a card when he enters the Break Zone.
16-137S – Rikku
I like this Rikku.
Because once per turn you’ll be able to get rid of one of your opponent’s Forwards.
And depending on if Yuna is on the field or not, you’ll be drawing a card as well.
16-138S – Wakka
I don’t know. I still think the Opus I Wakka was the best one. Same can be said about Shantotto.
But, being able to Break a Forward for a couple of Reel counters isn’t too shabby.
16-139S – Tidus
Tidus really puts this whole Starter Set together. You’ll either be playing Tidus for free, or you’ll be playing him early on to start getting all the pieces out, as you’ll be searching for Jecht, Yuna or Wakka.
And that is not all.
+2K to all the Forwards, every time the Tidus attacks.
Oh, and did I mention that this one comes as a Full Art Foil?
16-140S – Sin
Sin does what Sin does.
Destroy everything.
Unless you already have received 6 points of Damage.
I can already hear everyone complain about the unoriginal artwork for Sin.
Do you like winning?
Wol
Kirin
This will make some interesting play. I was just talking about how they should make an Archfiends deck. And, they listened. Sort of. We now have Kirin & the Shijins, coming to a bar near you. Playing all your favorite oldies. Ok, I got a little carried away.
And can’t forget about the EX Burst “When (card name) enters the field, you may search for 1 Job Shijin Forward other than Card Name (card name) and add it to your hand.” You’re already adding Shijins to your hand after you, hopefully, play one from Kirin’s ability. You’re likely to swarm the board pretty quickly here.
Tidus – 16-116L
