Malfunction V1.069 : Resolved

I finally figured it out. As you can see the Card of the Week has changed. And what took me a month or so to figure out, was a process that took a total of 1 minute to fix. I didn’t even think it would work, but I tried it anyway. After a month or so of researching, resetting, deleting uploading and all the other good stuff, it was a simple plugin that I needed to install. End of story.

Now we can get back to focusing on what really matters.

Cracking Packs.

I should, make another video for YouTube. Maybe tonight. Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking of starting Box Breaks. If anyone is interested drop me a line. KardboardKorner@gmail.com Or, just hit the Contact Us page up on the top and you’ll be able to get a hold of me.

I also finally found time to build that Type-0 deck I’ve been trying to build since Opus XIII came out. It’s going to need some refining, but I think it’ll be fun to play. Nine, and Cinque. Both from Opus XIII was the reason I built this deck. Just to see if these two can take anything down. I’ll probably need to add more than 1 Fire backup as well. But, it’s very Forward heavy rounded out by Behemoth K, and Kunshira.

Now, it’s time to try this deck out and see what changes need to be made.

Until next time.

And, I Thought I Knew What I Was Doing

I don’t know what I did.

But.

I think I fixed it.

Think.

I was trying to organize the Categories, so the Opuses, (Opi?) were in order from newest to oldest when you would look at them. And, somehow I ended up deleting a whole category.

The best part is that I didn’t realize it till today. So, I spent most of the day changing the Category of each card to the category that I deleted. Every single card in Opus XIII was each clicked out of it’s Uncategorized category to Opus XIII. One by One.

All this cause we decided to bring in some Cardfight Vanguard and see how it goes. Yes, Cardfight Vanguard was the cause for all of this, so we started off on the wrong foot. But, hey, everyone deserves a second chance. And, I didn’t order all this Cardfight Vanguard for nothing.

Opus XIV – Ice Review

14-020R – Ysayle

Ysayle, works as a place holder for Shiva, Lady of the Frost (14-036L). Other than that, you can use her to play any Ice Forward of 5CP or less, but Shiva makes perfect sense.

7K body for 3CP isn’t bad either.

 

 

 

14-021H – Valfodr

Great monster for a Physalis deck. Or any other Discard deck that you can think of. Your opponent will think twice before trying to Break Valfodr.

 

 

 

 

14-022H – Kam’lanaut

Kam’lanaut has the ability that keeps on giving … your opponent head aches. If you have a full line of Ice Backups you are set to go as everytime Kam’lanaut attacks you’ll be dealing 10K Damage to a dull Forward.

And if you want a little more spice, Light Blade is even stronger as it deals 2K for each Ice Character you control.

 

 

14-023L – Gilgamesh (FFBE)

Now this is a card we’re excited about, we talked about this card in one of our videos when they showed him off.

If you take the time to set Gilgamesh up. and that should be pretty easy especially if you have Don Corneo (11-134S) Just put the top 15 cards of your deck in the Break Zone. Should be enough elements in there to get these abilities off.

After that Gilgamesh woll have +1K power, Haste , First Strike, Brave, Gilgamesh can attack 3 times in the same turn, and everytime he attacks, “Choose one Character, dull it, and Freeze it.”

14-024C – Bard

2 cost Backup that will Dull and Freeze one of your opponents cards, for an Ice Crystal Point.

 

 

 

 

14-025C – Kuja

I’m starting to like how these Final Fantasy Villains play. They’re not all Legends or Heros, but they have some simple abilities that are effective.

Like, Kuja here, once he gets chosen by your opponents Summons or abilities, you choose 1 of their Forwards and Dull them.

But, it’s the 5CP that might make you skip this card.

 

14-026R – Kefka EX

Now, Kefka is a better card than Kuja, for a couple of reasons.

1) You Dull a Forward when he enters the field.

2) He is only 3CP, compared to Kuja’s 5, but he is just a Backup

3) He his ability can come off an EX Burst

 

14-027R – The Emperor

Hailing from Palamecia, the Emperor isn’t that special unless he is in your Break Zone. Form there you can use his ability. By Removing 15 Ice cards from your Break Zone, you can play the Emperor onto the field, and since he entered the field due to an ability, you can look at th top card of your deck, and if it is a Character (any card but a summon) you can add it to your hand.

 

 

14-028C – Goblin

I’d call this a ticking time bomb. Every time it ticks it gets more power. But this time bomb, you can have it go off whenever you choose to.

 

 

 

 

14-029R – Shivalry EX

This is a decent summon that will pair well with Physalis. Choose 1 Forward, +3K Power, Forward breaks Forward, Opponent discard card from hand.

For 2CP this card, can be useful, I can see it getting some play.

 

 

 

14-030C – Serah

Her only task is to take a big hit and to be broken. Her Job might say Saboteur, but it really is Meat Shield.

Depending on the situation you can pick which ability to use.

 

 

 

14-031R – Good King Moggle Mog XII

That’s a big name.

If you remember the battle, you remember that it was all over the place. You had to destroy the Moogles, which in turn let you fight the King. And it would go back and forth till the King was Dead.

Now, everytime Good King Moggle Mog XII gets broken, you can in theory discard 2 Moogles and bring him back to your hand. Now we said in theory, because it can be any 2 cards. Not just moogles.

But at the end of the turn you can search for a 3CP moogle and play it onto the field.

Should be a fun card to play.

14-032R – Proto fal’Cie Adam

Another great card to play with Physalis (13-028L)

The less cards your opponent has, the better this card gets.

Plus the Manipulator Counters can save this card twice.

 

 

14-033C – Devout

Don’t like the cards you just drew? Just play Devout with those 2 cards and hopefully get something better. And if that doesn’t work, Dull and Break and hopefully you’ll get something better once again.

 

 

 

14-034C – Time Mage

Now the wording on the card is a little weird.

Does the ability go off only when Time Mage is dulled by your opponent? Or, does it go off when you attack, and dull him due to attacking as well?

 

 

 

14-035C – Don Corneo

It’s almost like the game.

You get to choose one of three.

Which one piques your interest?

There should be a cross-dressing Cloud somewhere around here.

 

14-036L – Shiva, Lady of the Frost

I like this card. Expect a Card of the Week coming soon.

But, you pretty much play Shiva off of Ysayle. Dull a Forward, then Freeze all the Forwards opponent controls.

And if they get active by an ability or Summon, there’s a way to replay the card.

Or, you can just save that for a later turn.

 

14-037C – Moogle (XIV)

You’ll only play this card with Good King Moggle Mog XII.

 

 

 

 

14-038H – Lugae

This card in my opinion is like equipping a Forward with a stronger weapon. Only difference, is Lugae must be on the field in order for your Forward to gain the 2K and Brave when it enters the field.

I hope that makes sense.

I already like this card.

Celestial Moonlight??

Celestia, the card you didn’t know you needed, if you’re playing Sophie (13-119L). Why? Well we’re glad you asked, but first …

On to the card

4CP : Water/Ice
Forward
Job : Warrior
Category : Type-0
Legend
9000 Power

“The Water Characters you control cannot be broken by opposing Summons or abilities that don’t deal damage.

When an Ice Character you control is chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilities, choose up to 1 Character. Dull it and Freeze it.”

That first ability is all you need, as Sophie is Earth/Water she counts as Water. (Correct me if I am wrong.) With her not being able to be broken by abilities or Summons that don’t deal damage, she will most likely not be able to be broken if you have enough Earth and Water Forwards on the field. It is simple as that.

Now, how will you pay for Celestia without having to make a tremendous change to your deck? Very Simple. Tyro (11-072R). With Tyro, you can dull him for 1CP of any color. I’ll keep saying it, too. Great card, if you play Earth you can splash any other color you’d like as you’ll have a way to pay for it.

That was my take. And, then I took a look at FFdecks.com Ashe’s Prison was the deck.
https://ffdecks.com/deck/5358425582075904

And, saw something I did not think of. I never said I knew everything. But, apparently you can pair Celestia with Minwu. Your Water Forwards will be unbeatable. And that deck looks like it would be fun to play.

Let us know what you think in the comments.

Sophie’s Choice

Another great card here, as we move on with our Card of the Week. Sophie a Monk that packs a Punch. But, why is she carrying a weapon?

On the the card.

2CP – Earth/Water
Forward
Job : Monk
Category : Mobius
Legend
4000 Power

“For each Earth Forward other than Sophie you control, Sophie gains +2000 power.

For each Water Forward other than Sophie you control, Sophie gains +2000 power.

At the end of each of your turns, if Sophie has 10000 power or more, draw 1 card and Sophie deals your opponent 1 point of damage.”

At 2CP, this card is a no brainer. And with those abilities, she’s deadly. starting at 4K, but each Earth or Water forward gives her +2K. You can just throw her in a deck with Vikings and call it a day. Now if you control 3 other Forwards that are either Earth or Water, she’ll have 10K. And, at 10K she deals your opponent 1 point of Damage at the end of the turn. Your turn, and your opponents. The game will pretty much take care of itself if you just pass and defend Sophie.

We already said Leila (6-126R) and Vikings, namely Viking (4-133C). You play Leila for 4CP grab a Viking out of your Break Zone and play it onto the field. That takes care of 2 Forwards. Sarah (MOBIUS) (13-118C) would also be a good choice as you can use her first ability when she enters and have Sophie get rid of a pesky Forward your opponent controls.

The quicker you can get Sophie on the field, the quicker you’ll be heading towards victory.
