The Honor Roll Society

It’s only fitting that our 9th card of the Week is Nine. And I get to talk about Cinque as well.

On to the Card.

6CP – Lightning/Fire
Forward
Job : Class Zero Cadet
Category : Type-0
Legend
9000 Power

“You can dull 1 active Fire Job Class Zero Cadet Forward and 1 active Lightning Job Class Zero Cadet Forward (instead of paying the CP cost) to cast Nine.

When Nine enters the field or attacks, choose 1 Forward opponent controls. Until the end of the turn, it loses 2000 power for each Job Class Zero Cadet you control.”

You will be playing Cadets.

Fire and Lightning.

Might as well play Wind, that way you’ll have access to all the Class Zero Cadets, but since there is no Class Moogle that helps us with the Crystal Points you will likely play a Light or Dark card. Opus I Chaos and Cosmos will work well depending on, if you’d like to play another Light or Dark card.

And if you play your cards right, no pun intended, you’ll be able to get rid of 2 Forwards when Nine enters the field. All you need is a Fire Cadet and a Lightning Cadet, that you will dull for Nine to enter and after that dull Zaidou (10-091C) to give Nine “Haste and First Strike”. You will likely reduce the opponents Forward’s Power more than enough to send it to the Break Zone.

Can’t have a Class Zero without Ace (9-003L), I never took him out of my party when I was playing, so he should be in this deck. Well, that’s my reasoning. That and that you can grab a couple of Cadets and add them to your hand. Plus the 8K body, and that EX Burst, you’ll be knocking out Forwards left and right.

If Deuce (9-052C) was a Backup she would be a Legend, but she is not but, we’ll still play this one.

Trey (3-064H) is probably a card we can do without.

Cater, might as well choose the Backup (3-009C). (13-107C) might work as well, depending on the situation. Maybe play one of each?

Cinque (13-007R), the card that we wanted to build a deck around a Nine was the Legend to do it. Basically you’ll always have more than 7 Class Zero Cadets for Cinque to gain Brave, and “When Cinque attacks, choose 1 Character opponent controls. Break it.” This card paired with Nine and Ace and your opponent will not know what hit them. Plus that extra 4K for Cinque makes her a beast.

Sice (3-109C) can work. As can Seven (3-057R), and Eight (13-036R). Eight is Free as it does not state on his card that the cost for Eight cannot be reduced to 0. Jack (3-111H) can be decent for 1CP.

Now which Queen shall we play? 3-151S or 3-104C? Queen (3-104C) has a better ring for this deck, as you’re already Breaking Forwards with Nine, Cinque and Ace. And Speedrush, will give you a free attack.

King (3-006R) is the last cadet, giving all you Class Zero Cadet Forwards +1K. King can also be played by just discarding a Class Zero Cadet from your hand. Doesn’t matter what element it is.

And then there is Machina (3-022H), not worth it. And Rem (3-072R) should work good, as should (9-059R).

Now, we need backups because all the Cadets we chose are mostly Forwards. Arecia Al-Rashia (3-097R), will allow you to search for a Type-0 Forward. Moogle (Class Zero) (3-150S) will give all your Cadets +1K. Khalia Chival (10-089C) will let you grab a Cadet from the Break Zone.

Now. I’m guessing these shall be your building blocks. I’ve seen a couple of decks with Golbez (13-115L). As you can search for any 2CP card in your deck.

That’s what we have for Nine. Any ideas? Let us know.

Opus XIII – Ice Review

13-018C – Quistis

Most of the time Quistis will cost only 1 CP, based on what you draw. You’ll most likely draw an ice card. Espeially if your playing Mono-Ice. Do Multi-Element count as Ice? If ice is one of the elements. I would say know, but I’ll need to find out for sure. And at 5 Damage, you’ll be able to bring Rinoa (6-041L) out of the Break Zone.

 

 

 

13-019C – Coeurl

Basic Ice Monster. Dull or Freeze an opponent. Turns into 7K Forward.

 

 

 

 

 

13-020C – Kurasame

Dull for 1K boost, to a Type-0 Forward. Bulk up for a block or to finish off your opponents Blocker. You can even buff up Cinque (13-007R), but we already talked about her.

 

 

 

 

 

13-021R – Shiva EX

I forgot Shiva looked like this in Type-0, maybe I need to replay it.
Dull and Freeze 2 Forwards, sign me up. Especially since this can come off an EX. I’ll be playing 3 of these in every Ice Deck. Now, I just need to find a way to play Shiva for free.

 

 

 

 

13-022H – Cid Randell

Cid casts Silence, and breaks your opponents advantage because their auto-abilities will not trigger. So, no searching for a card, no grabbing a card from the Break Zone, no playing a card from your hand, no dulling, no freezing, no …. you get the point. Now which Remedi is Cid a better pair with.

 

 

 

13-023R – Charlotte

Once you get to 3 Damage, Charlotte becomes a 9K blocker. Just having her on the field might cause your opponent to rethink if the wants to attack. They might just find a way to get rid of her, but just might attack anyway.

 

 

 

 

13-024R – Squall

Quickly trip up your opponents plans with Squall here. They got one card in their hand, they were hoping to use on the next turn once their CP replenished. Nope, not today. But, then it might have been just a card to be used for CP.

 

 

 

 

13-025C – Onion Knight (FFT)

Please look at Onion Knight (FFT) (13-010C), if not then I can just Copy, Paste

“Have three of these tucked away at the end of the game and you’ll have 3 Forwards with 9k and Haste. Go in for a quick strike and you might make it out alive. If not you’ll have a couple of meat shields to take some Damage. ”

 

 

 

13-026C – Tellah EX

Use Ark (8-135H) to help pay for Tellah, Grab Ark back from the Break Zone. Next turn Dull Tellah, Discard Ark, put Tellah in the Break Zone. Yell “You, Spoony Bard!!!” Deal 30K Damage to one Forward.

 

 

 

 

13-027C – Time Mage

Just like Black Mage (13-005C). This card will work if you splash a single Fire or Water card. Because then you’ll now exactly what you’ll end up with. Other than that. NEXT.

 

 

 

 

13-028L – Physalis

Physalis will keep on generating an advantage for you. Half the time you’ll be able to draw 1 card. Give her Haste when she enters and that’s 2 Cards if you decide to attack. And every time you attack you’ll be drawing a card, unless you decide to Dull and Freeze a Character instead. Akstar (13-002L) can search for her.

And, her ability, You’ll pretty much Break a Forward, make your opponent discard a card, and then you can attack and draw a card. I must say I like this card.

 

 

13-029C – Counterfeit Wraith

If you’re playing Manikins, you’ll probably already have 3 Job Manikins on the field. Add to it the fact that you can play 3 of these, your opponent may discard his whole hand. In which case enter Physalis.

 

 

 

 

13-030C – Yuke

If all goes well, Yuke, in certain circumstances can be a great card. But, how many times will you be able to play it when you need it. That and the Wind and Water CP you’ll need might not make it playable when you need it.

 

 

 

 

13-031R – Laguna

Looks like a small upgrade to Laguna (1-059R). You’ll also need Squall on the field to get the full effect. Almost plays like Genesis (3-033L) with his on entry ability.

 

 

 

 

13-032H – Rinoa

Is it possible to play Rinoa for free? It does not say it cannot become 0. But, even of you discard a card to play Rinoa, you’ll still get the 2CP back. You might even come up Positive from what you started with. +1 at least.

Damage is at 5? Attack and dull all the Characters. Easy Win?

 

 

 

13-033R – Levnato

Most of the time you’ll have a Summon in your hand. 3CP/8K is a pretty decent cost, since most 8K bodies are a 4 cost.

And if you have 2 Summons, Break a dull Forward.

 

 

 

13-034H – Remedi

Your opponent will not be able to grab extra cards, due to Remedi’s ability. And when they search, they discard, and you get to search for Cid Randell.
