26-101C – Aila

It’s like buying a lottery ticket. Only this time you get to see your winnings.

You put Aila into the Break Zone, draw 2 cards, and then discard a card.

It comes out to an even trade. 2 cards for 2 cards.

You just get to keep the cards that you want.

That doesn’t mean you’ll always get what you want, sometimes you’ll find worse cards than what you already have.

And, that’s about it.

26-102C – Blue Mage

This is a great card.

Are you playing Monsters? Then Blue Mage is a great play for you.

Blue Mage comes in and you can play a Monster from your hand on to the field. That’s 4CP for 2 cards.

And whenever a Monster is put into the Break Zone from the field, you get to draw a card.
And you know that Monsters like to send themselves to the Break Zone.

I’m just thinking of how much help Blue Mage will be to my Bomb Squad.

26-103L – Azdaja

Here is your game winner.

Azdaja has built in protection against your opponent’s Summons, and until the end of your opponent’s turn, Azdaja also has protection against your opponent’s abilities.

Which is good because, you opponent will want to get rid of Azdaja A.S.A.P. Period.

Why is this you might ask?

Well, Azdaja has the ability that every time one of your Water Forwards attacks, you will be able to choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and return it to their hand.

All I’m saying is throw Azdaja in a deck with Pirates and Vikings, and you’re set.

26-104H – Iedolas

You see what’s happening?

Iedolas is telling your opponent to hold on. Cause we haven’t even started yet.

And, then another Final Fantasy XV Forward will rise from the grave. Err. .. Break Zone. And come straight to the field to take care of your opponent. You can grab any Forward up to 5CP.

We’re thinking Ardyn, cause why not.

Dawn of Heroes Ardyn to be exact. You’ll put 2 Backups into the Break Zone, and then you’ll reveal the top cards of your deck until you find 2 Characters. You may now play those 2 Characters on to the field.

Is there anything not to like?

You get 4 cards on the field for the price of Iedolas.

And, if that’s not enough, you can always put Iedolas in the Break Zone, and have your opponent return a card to their hand.

Now you can replay Iedolas.

26-105C – Garnet

Garnet comes in and does nothing, unless you pay the extra cost of dulling 4 active Characters. They can be Backups, Monsters or Forwards.

When you do dull 4 of your Characters, Garnet will send a Forward to the bottom of it’s owner’s deck. Which is a way of getting rid of a Forward when you can’t send it to the Break Zone. And, it’s not returning to their owner’s hand, where they can play it again on their next turn.

Yes, you can send your own Forward at the bottom of your own deck. You can do this if you need to save a Forward.

I would place Garnet in one of the many Monster decks that we have floating around.

26-106C – Old Snapper

Hmm, what’s there to think about? Other than the fact, that you need to use up all of Old Snapper’s Flyer Counters in order for him to be useful.

For 2CP, you can grab 2 cards from your Break Zone and add them to your hand. But, not before you put 3 cards from your deck into the Break Zone. And, this will take at least 3 turns, because you have to remove all 3 Flyer Counters from Old Snapper in order for this to be of use.

Now, if there was anyway of removing these Counters without using Old Snapper’s ability, this would have been a great card.

26-107C – Chemist

The elemental backups, and this one is decent.

Why?

Because Chemist shall be your defense against cards like Vrtra and Azdaja. And, we know that they both will be a threat to your front lines. Basically, Chemist will stand up against all the giants. Think Yuna, The new Lightning, and even Dadaluma. Yes, we had to mention him because he was just unbanned, expect him to make a return to your locals, and LQs and Materia Cups and so on.

All you need to do is have a bunch of Wind cards to feed the ability, and you can put a stop to your opponent’s nonsense.

Chemist should be put in every Wi/Wa deck as a measure of protection.

And, here I thought this card would be useless.

26-108C – Thaliak

Thaliak will come in once “The Twelve” start making moves. And those should be 4 moves, 4 moves that bring 4 of The Twelve onto the field.

Once they’re on the field, you can play Thaliak, and your opponent will choose one of their Forwards and send it to the Break Zone. After that, you’ll draw a card.

There is also a little ability called Rheognosis, when used, Thaliak will return a Forward that casts 3CP or less back to your opponent’s hand. And, since this ability doesn’t dull Thaliak, you can use it twice in one turn.

3CP? Yes, please and thank you.

26-109R – Johnny

I forgot that Johnny moved to Costa del Sol, but now that I see it, it reminded me of it.
Apparently Johnny, still has a crush on Tifa, and whenever she enters the field, Johnny activates. And you draw a card.

Simply put, you can play Johnny right before you play Tifa. Or better yet, right before you play Zangan, who will then play Tifa. Who will then activate Johnny, who will draw a card for you.

I’m sure there’s a much better combo here, but I’m not going to look for it right now.

.

26-110R – Sylvestre

Stalone. Yeah, Nope.

This isn’t Rocky, nor Rambo, but Sylvestre will search for a Light Forward. And, once that Light Forward is added to your hand, you can play a Forward onto the field. Up to 3CP. If you think about it, Sylvestre’s final cost can be 1CP.

Sylvestre will also cancel one of your opponent’s abilities that is choosing 1 Forward. And, that is most abilities.

How is this a Rare? I don’t know, but you can probably put this card into any Water deck, and you will do fine with it.

26-111C – Titov

What else would Titov do? He’s a Ferry Captain.

Titov will Ferry the top 3 cards of your deck to your hand and back.

How the get off the ferry is up to you. Cause they need to walk in a straight line to get off the ferry boat.

Titov will make sure that neither of them cuts in line, and get off exactly as you want them to.

And, that’s about it.

26-112H – Tidus

Finally a Guardian that actually protects Yuna.

Every time Yuna is dealt damage, that damage is transferred to Tidus. And if you have received 3 points of damage that damage is reduced by 2000.

I can’t wait to see these new FFX decks that are going to come out. YRP is back in business, all thanks to Tidus. This Tidus.

Oh, and let’s not forget that Tidus will search for Yuna.

.
26-113R – Nymeia EX

The Twelve keeps on coming. I lost track of the cards we’ve seen so far.

Nymeia here will provide you with more ammo. When she enters the field, you draw a card. EX Burst? Draw a card.

And, if that’s not enough, you can use Nymeia’s ability to draw a card. But, you’ll need at least 4 of “The Twelve” on the field to use her ability.

All in all, Nymeia is worth playing, even if you aren’t playing “The Twelve”.

.

26-114H – Asura, Manusya of War

Is this a board wipe?

It sure looks like it.

Yes, they are all gone. You can save one of your Forwards by returning it to your hand, and the rest will disintegrate into the Break Zone. One way around it is to have a card that boosts your power. Like Wakka (1-180R) since we’re talking about Water cards.

Then all you need to do is find a way to give Asura, Haste and she will attack and reduce the power of 6 of your opponent’s Forwards (if they have any left) by another 4000. Thus your opponent will have no front line, allowing you to attack and conquer.

It’s pretty straight Forward.

26-115H – Mid Previa

Grandson of Cid.

Mid is an engineer just like Grampa. And, Mid will engineer your deck like there is no tomorrow.

Mid will come in for a whopping 9CP. And. once he comes in you’ll reveal the top 5 cards of your deck and you will play up to 3 cards, (1 Forward, 1 Backup and 1 Monster) with a total cost of 8CP on to the field.

This is a way of getting bodies on the field, but it it worth it? It’s a high cost just to play Mid, add in the cards that you’re sending to the Break Zone, and what if all you reveal are Monsters. Low cost ones, and you don’t even get half way to 8CP.

Just something to think about.

26-116C – Malboro

I just realized that all these Monsters are the same. In that they all become Forwards and whenever they attack they have an ability that goes off. Also when they deal damage to your opponent, you can put said Monster into the Break Zone, and have another ability that will go off.

When Malboro attacks, one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 2000 power.

And if Malboro deals damage to your opponent, you can put Malboro into the Break Zone and all of your opponent’s Forwards lose 4000 power.

Once that is done, you can go to town on your opponent Swinging left and right. Hopefully you’ll deplete their resources.

26-117H – Yuna

Earth/Water Dark Knight Yuna! Remember that.

Whenever Yuna attacks, you can put the top 2 cards of your deck into the Break Zone and deal 5000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards. That’s not bad, considering that you will probably Break that Forward, but this is not the reason you’ll play Yuna.

Nope, the reason is that once you get to 6 points of damage, Yuna will deal 5000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards for every 10 cards that you have in your Break Zone. If you have 20 cards that’s 10,000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. That is more than enough to send them all to the Break Zone. If there are some lingering around, you can always Play Tidus (1-163L) And he will take care of them.

This is a great card, but you won’t want to play this at Prerelease, cause well, at 6 points of damage you lose the game.

26-118C/15-123C – Oracle

Here’s a reprint, of a reprint, of a reprint.

So, we’re just going to, you guessed it, Copy/Paste from Opus XV Crystal Dominion.

“I had a plan with Oracle. And then I realized that it wouldn’t work.

So, scratch that.

Oracle will give you a crystal every time she enters the field. You can dull, and put her in the Break Zone to reduce damage to one of your Forwards and grab her back with Robel-Akbel.

Oracle’s use will be determined by the abilities that revolve around Crystal use.”

26-119R – Leviathan

Dull 2 Forwards or Pay 3CP. The choice is yours to make.

What do you get in exchange?

You can return one of your opponent’s Forwards or Monsters to their hand.

And, that is it.

Is it worth it? I mean you’re not breaking the card and they can always replay the card and get all of the enter the field abilities that come with it.

On the other hand, you’re returning the Forward that is in the way of you winning the game.

26-120L – Lenna

I don’t know where to start, so I’ll start with the abilities.

Lenna comes in and you can either have your opponent choose a Forward to send to the Break Zone, or you can search for a Warrior of Light and add it to your hand.

Now if you have Faris on the field, you can use both abilities.

Lenna costs 4CP and has 8000 power.

You can say this isn’t a lot for a Legend, but you are sending a Forward to the Break Zone and that is always good, even if you’re not the one picking which Forward is being sent.

26-041 – Ashe

Ashe looks like she just came out of Revenant Wings. And, on closer inspection, it says Revenant Wings right on the bottom.

First look shows us that if you have 3 Final Fantasy XII Characters on the field, Ashe’s cost will become 2CP. And, with that 2CP you get a 9K body. Who would have thought that the Queen would be a Meat Shield?

And, that is not the reason that you will play this Legend. All of your Forwards, except for Ashe will gain +2000 power. Pair that with Maria (1-083H) and all of your other Forwards will have +3000 power.

And if you need to reduce the damage dealt to one of your Forwards, all you need to do is dull one of your Final Fantasy XII Characters, and that damage will be reduced by 2000. This along with Ashe and Maria, gives your Forwards a 5K buffer zone. I’ll take it. Might even decide on some Sky Pirates one day.

26-042R – Alexander

That’s it? 3CP to break a High Cost Character?

And, if you don’t have the CP you can just dull 2 Wind Forwards?

This is great!

I’ll take 3 of these, even if I don’t have a Wind deck at the moment.

This card will see plenty of use.

 

26-043R – Vaan EX

Did we already say that Sky Pirates are making a comeback?

They might be, and Vaan is here to help with that.

We won’t even talk about his enter the field ability, where you can add a Sky Pirate to your hand from the top 3 cards of your deck. Or the fact that, this ability comes off of an EX Burst as well.

Nope, we’re going to talk about his second ability, which states that every time a Sky Pirate enters your field, you will activate 2 of your Backups. Vaan pays for himself right away. 2CP from the Sky Pirate you grab when he enters the field, and 2CP every time a Sky Pirate enters your field.

Vaan will give you positive CP, which is always good for Wind.

After that Vaan is just a Meat Shield.

26-044C – Sky Samurai

“Samurai of the Skyyyy,
Attack and Activate Myyy,
Backups, we can do it thriiiice”

I’ll leave that to the professionals.

Imagine having a Forward that can activate a couple of Backups every time they attack. Now think if you can have 3 of those Forwards on the field at the same time.

And, that Forward gains +2000 power when they attack!

I think we have something here. All decks playing Wind should have 3 of these.

It’s called Free CP. It’s even better if those Backups have abilities that you can use again.

And again.

And, again.

26-045C – Aerith

What can we say about this card? All you need is right there. On the card.

Aerith will activate all of your Final Fantasy VII Characters other than herself.

All you need to know is that Aerith should be usually played during your Main Phase 2. That way you can go all out and Attack with all of your Forwards. Play Aerith and have all of your Forwards ready to block.

And, that is that.

 

26-046C – Echo EX

Wol needs your help.

First off he needs help finding himself. Luckily Echo is here to help with that. Echo will search for Wol when she enters the field. This ability also comes off from an EX Burst.

Wol also needs some protection, and Echo can also help with that. If Wol is ever targeted by Summons or abilities, Echo will grant him protection in the form that Wol cannot be chosen by your opponent’s Summons or abilites.

Opus V Wol, I’m looking at you! You’re going to make a comeback!

26-047H – Oschon

I lost count of which of “The Twelve” I’ve seen. I’m thinking by the time I’ve seen Oschon it’s probably close to the end.

Oschon gains 1000 power for every other member of “The Twelve” That you have on the field. Giving Oschon a max of 16,000 from “The Other Eleven” And, there still are more ways to increase Oschon’s power. You might be able to get him into the 20s.

And once, Oschon has more than 10,000 power, Oschon will not be able to be chosen by your opponent’s abilities, and if he is dealt damage by any ability, that damage becomes 0.

Oschon might just be the main attacker of “The Twelve”

26-048C – Cloud

A Wind Cloud? Haven’t seen one of these yet.

5CP, or you can Warp Cloud for 2CP. Do you want to wait a turn? Or did you want Cloud in right this instance. Either way, if you can keep Cloud alive through out the match, Cloud will most likely be giving you a card every turn. Especially if you’re playing a Mono-Wind deck. Which is now possible with all the Final Fantasy VII Wind cards we have now.

You don’t even need to play Cloud in a FFVII deck, he’ll fit right in any Mono-Wind deck.
Focused Thrust? Yes, a special ability that will allow you to break a high cost Forward. 5CP or more.

26-049R – Cactuar Conductor

A 2 cost Backup, that can save your World of Final Fantasy Characters.

Let’s say Reynn, or Lann is about to be broken by one of your opponent’s abilities, Cactuar Conductor will come in and save the day. He’ll remove the Forward from the game and bring them back to the field at the end of the turn.

Or, does that World of Final Fantasy Forward have a great enter the field ability that you want to use once again, Cactuar Conductor is here to help with that as well.

Extra bonus points for Tonberry being featured on the card.

26-050R – Cissnei

I thought I already wrote this one.

Cissnei enters the field and you have 2 options. Either send a Monster to the Break Zone, or you can activate 3 Backups.

If you choose to activate the Backups, Cissnei becomes a free play. And, we here at Kardboard Korner like free.

Cissnei also has an ability that will deal 2000 damage to a Forward of your choosing.
That’s about it simple, effective and great art.

26-051C – White Mage

Are you looking for Break Zone removal?

White Mage is here for that. Why would a White Mage be removing cards from the Break Zone is not something I thought I would see. I would have given that to maybe a Time Mage, or a Necromancer.

Once you use White Mage’s ability, you will take 3 cards from your opponent’s Break Zone and remove them from the game. If one was a Water card, you’ll also draw a card. And then you will discard a card.

White Mage can be useful in a pinch.

26-052H – Sonon

Sonon is back, and I’ll say that this Sonon is the best Sonon so far, son(on).

You will play Sonon on the same turn that you play Yuffie, that way they both will have Haste, an they both will be able to form a party and attack.

And, once that happens, you will activate all of your Backups, and you will draw a card. Leaving you with plenty of options for your Main Phase 2.

Now the only question left is what Yuffie do we use? I’m sure there’s one in this set, although I haven’t seen it yet. (This was written a month before Gunslinger in the Abyss is released. No Yuffie yet.) I would say either Resurgence of Power Yuffie, where she activates all of your Forwards when she attacks, or Hidden Trials Yuffie, where you draw a card when she deal damage to your opponent. 2 Wind CP will make that Yuffie unblockable.

The Choice is yours, would you like to draw 1 cards, or would you like to activate all of your Forwards?

26-053L – Bartz

Warriors of Light get ready to use those Crystals!

Bartz is here, and ready to be put into any deck that has Crystal Generators. You don’t even need any Wind Elements in your deck, as long as you have Crystals ready to go. 3 to be exact. You can pay for Bartz with those 3 Crystals, and when he enters the field, you can look at the top 2 cards of your deck, and play a Character that costs 3CP or less straight to the field. The other card goes to your hand.

And if you don’t want to use Crystals, you can always just pay 8CP. Because at the end of the day, You will get at least half of the CP you used back.

After all is said and done, Bartz becomes a Meat Shield with 9000 power.

26-054C – Penelo

If you’re playing Sky Pirates, you might as well throw Penelo in, even if you’re playing with another Penelo.

Why?

Well, first off Penelo is a Free Play if you already have Vaan on the field.

Second, Penelo will show you the top card of your deck, and if it’s a Final Fantasy XII card you can add it to your hand. If it’s not you just put it back. This way, you’ll at least know what the next card is.

And lastly, Penelo will block an attack, just so you can use this card again.

It’s not the best Penelo, but what she does is great for a turn.

26-055H – Fina

Now this is interesting. Fina the Warp Mage!

Warping has now become that much easier. Warp any element that you’d like without worrying about what elements you have in your hand or on the board, because Fina will allow you to pay with any element that you have on hand.

And, when Fina enters the field she will search for a Character that can Warp. Allowing you to use her ability from the get go.

Fina also has another ability that will remove a Warp counter from one of your cards that are currently Warping.

This is a great card all around. 3 of these will always be good to have. Even if you don’t need them in your current deck, you might need them in a future deck.

26-056C – Gorger

It’s the Elemental Wind Monster in the Abyss.

Gorger becomes a Forward during your turn, and Gorger can not be blocked by a Forward that costs 3CP or more.

Pay attention.

When Gorger deals damage to your opponent, you will put Gorger into the Break Zone, Activate 3 Backups, and draw a card. After that you can play that card that you just drew, because you’ll have 3 extra CP that you didn’t have before.

Gorger would have been better if he wasn’t sent to the Break Zone, after it deals damage, but then Gorger would have been over powered.

26-057C – Millefeui

A one cost Backup that will allow you to draw 2 cards down the line.

Millefeui isn’t a bad card to have, as you’ll be getting 1CP per turn, and you pay a whopping 1CP to get Millefeui on the field.

Only drawback, which isn’t really a drawback, is that you need at least 15 Wind cards in your Break Zone.

Other than that it’s a decent card. I don’t see me using it though.

 

26-058H -Larsa

This card is hard to read. The way the Full Art blends with the words is just off putting.
Let’s see what Larsa does.

Larsa is made for a Final Fantasy XII deck, but that deck will not be Sky Pirates.

When Larsa comes in you will either grab Ashe, Basch or a Judge from your deck and add it to your hand. I’m guessing we’re going to see more Judges here, or a Final Fantasy XII Royal Family deck, where Rasler will finally have a deck to be in.

Larsa will also sacrifice himself when a Final Fantasy XII Forward is sent into the Break Zone. And you will then add that Forward back to your hand.

I’d just change the art, make it a bit more readable.

26-059R – Llymlaen

Here is the first card that you will want to play when playing “The Twelve”. Llymalaen will allow you to cast “The Twelve” with CP of any element. No need to worry about how you’re going to pay for each member, when Llymlaen is on the field.

And, Llymlaen’s cost of 2CP makes her even better.

Is that all?

Nope.

Llymlaen will also protect one member of The Twelve when they are chosen by your opponent’s Summons.

26-060C/15-058C – Dragoon

Here’s a reprint, of a reprint, of a reprint.

So, we’re just going to, you guessed it, Copy/Paste from Opus XV Crystal Dominion.

“You’ll need Dragoon to keep Kain on your side.

Other than that he enters the field. Gives you a Crystal. And finally you put him in the Break Zone and he gives 1 Forward First Strike.”

And, there’s no Kain here, so that was useless.

Windy Singles?

Hidden Legends of Fire

24-001L – Ifrit (XVI)

Coming in with Haste, Ifrit is ready to deal plenty of damage. You can play Ifrit straight to the field for 7CP or you can Prime Clive into Ifrit for 2CP. But, you’d have to have Clive on the field to do that.

And, we’re not talking about Clive, we’re talking about Ifrit.

And when he does come in, you’re dealing 10K to one of your opponent’s Forwards. If Ifrit deals damage to your opponent, Ifrit will deal another 10K to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Spitflare?

Deals 10K damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Whatever happens Ifrit will be dealing 10K damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

24-002C – Warrior of Light EX

At 3CP Warrior of Light comes in with an EX Burst. And, when it goes off Warrior of Light deals a Forward 5000 damage.

But, where are you at in the game?

Have you seen Bahamut?

Did you find the Rat Tail?

Do you have the power of the Crystals?

If you do, then Warrior of Light deals a Forward 8000 damage.

And, that’s about it. Simple and gives you a reason to produce Crystals.

Well, not really.

24-003H – Cyan

Am I reading this correct?

Cyan enters the field, and you can play a Final Fantasy VI character from your hand onto the field?

Sure it has to be 3CP or less, but you’re getting 2 cards on the field for 4CP. and if you play Gestahlian Empire Cid, you’ll also grab a FFVI Character from your deck, making Cyan’s total cost a whopping +1CP. That’s what it comes out to if you do the math.

Not only that, but Cyan also acts as protection from your opponent’s abilities. Yes, it only works for FFVI Characters, but if you’re playing Cyan you’re playing a VI deck. If you’re not, then you’re not playing Cyan.

Bushido Tempest?

How many cards can you fir into your Break Zone? That’s how much damage Cyan will deal to a Forward.

We also get a beautiful Full Art here.

24-004R – Deadly Nightshade

Looks more like a tomato.

1CP and you got your finger on the trigger. Ready to shoot, whenever one of your Forwards attack.

If you decide to pull that trigger, you’ll put Deadly nightshade into the Break Zone, and deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 7000 damage.

Might be a good way to get rid of a blocker that has more power than your attacking Forward. If not, you can always deal damage to one of your opponent’s other Forwards. 2 birds with 1 tomato.

And, now I’m hungry.

24-005L – Clive

Coming in with Haste, Clive is set to Prime.

As, we don’t know exactly what Priming is yet, we will wait until we write about it. But, I might forget to change this when the set comes out.

Clive gives all the Eikons and Dominants +1000 power, this includes himself.

And, when he deals damage to your opponent, you’ll discard your hand and draw 2 cards.

This is great for when you don’t have any cards in your hand.

24-006C – Clive

Coming in at 2CP with 5000 power, Clive becomes a powerhouse, if another Dominant or an Eikon is removed from the game. Making Clive a 9K Forward with Brave.

You can also use Clive’s ability to deal 5000 damage to a Forward.

That’s about it.

You can do far worse for 2CP.

 

24-007C – Black Mage

2CP and the ability isn’t that bad.

Black Mage can deal 5K damage to one a Forward but, you can only use his ability when a Fire Forward enters the field.
Not the best ability, but low cost and being able to remove Black Mage from the field, all while dealing damage to your opponent, making way for a better Backup to enter your field.

Might be worth playing if you can get Black Mage in early.

 

 

24-008C – Salamander (XII RW) EX

This Salamander looks more like a flying pig. That’s on Fire! Why are all these cards looking like food today. Add some Bacon to that tomato from earlier and now all we need is Lettuce.

But, that’s a conversation for a different time.

Salamander is Summoned and it deals 7000 damage to one Forward, and if you have 5 Backups on the field, 5000 damage to another Forward.

Not bad for 3CP, and an EX Burst on top of that.

Now where are we going to find that Lettuce?

24-009R – Joshua

Now that we’ve seen Joshua, it does not matter if you prime into Phoenix or just play Phoenix outright, if we’re just talking about cost.

(Yes, we wrote about Phoenix first, and we’re not going to edit it, because these are all first impressions.)

With that being said, Joshua is still a good card to play, as you can grab an Eikon or a Dominant from the Break Zone and put it back into your deck.

For 1CP this is a good play. Only downside would be the 3000 power that Joshua has, but, you’ll be Priming into Phoenix as soon as you can, because the only reason you’d be playing Joshua would be to grab that Eikon or Dominant from your Break Zone.

24-010C – Cetia

New Job? I can’t remember Cetia from War of the Visions, but then again, I haven’t played it in over a year. Did the story get better?

Cetia is your 4CP/8K body that is in every set.

If the cost is too high for you, you can always pay 2CP of any element and a Crystal.

You already know that there are going to be more Warriors of the Crystal, by Cetia’s ability to deal a Forward 4000 damage for each Warrior of the Crystal that you have on the field.

What I like is that if you’re paying using a Crystal, you can splash Cetia into any color deck that you’d like.

24-011H – Takatsugu

9CP?

He even looks mad, because his cost is so high.

Well, when Takatsugu enters the field you can search for 2, 2 cost Fire Forwards and you can play them straight to the field.
This might be a decent way to get bodies on the field.

Let’s take a look at his second ability. Which reads when another Forward enters your field, deal 2K damage to a Forward.
And those 2 Forwards come in to play, when Takatsugu enters the field.

So, you get 2 Fire Forwards and deal 2000 damage to 2 Forwards when Takatsugu comes in.

That might be worth 9CP.

It might not be worth 9CP.

It all depends on if you think it’s worth 9CP.

24-012C – Human

Do you have a way to get rid of Backups?

Do you have 4 Fire Backups on the field?

If so, then Human is the right card for you.

Human comes in and allows you to draw a card. And, if you have 4 Fire Backups on the field, Human deals a Forward 7000 damage.

And, that’s about it.

Standard Human Soldier.

Not even a Universal Soldier.

24-013R – Neon

Neon comes in and deals 5K damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

5CP is a little bit high, but you get a Crystal.

And, you can use that Crystal right away and deal a Forward 5Kdamage as well.

If you choose the same Forward you’re more than likely to break it.

If not, you can choose another Forward and maybe, you’ll break 2 Forwards in one turn.

Is that the best way to spend 6CP and a Crystal?

Probably not, but it has it’s uses.

And, let’s not get started on the art.

24-014H – Bahamut

2 options.

One is more powerful than the other, but that power comes in at a high cost. And, we’re not just talking about the 5CP you’ll pay to cast Bahamut.

Option A, choose a Forward deal it 20,000 damage. I’m pretty sure nothing will survive that. Unless you’re able to buff one of your Forwards pass the 20K mark, you will have a broken Forward on your hands.

And, Option B, deal 10,000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards. This will more than likely break all of your opponent’s Forwards. And it better, because you will be left with just 3 cards in your deck.

Bahamut would be a great end game play.

24-015C – Bahamut EX

A Bahamut Forward?

Of course it’s going to have a high cost. You think they would have let you play Bahamut for cheap. Nope and never.

Bahamut comes in and basically casts Mega Flare on one of your opponent’s Forwards. And, when that Forward is sent to the Break Zone, you will deal your opponent 1 point of damage.

And that is how you you will gain an easy advantage.

Why easy?

Bahamut will be able to attack freely, without worrying about a Forward blocking him, because when they do block and are sent to the Break Zone, you will still deal a point of damage to your opponent.

How can we give Bahamut Brave?

24-016R – Phoenix (XVI)

How is this a Rare?

Every time Phoenix attacks you can grab a Fire Forward of 2CP or less from the Break Zone, and play it onto the field
You don’t even need Joshua to say that you’ll be playing this card. I haven’t seen the Joshua card yet, but I can say you don’t need it. Sure, you can play it, and Prime into Phoenix, but Phoenix is playable all by itself.

I’m already thinking Fire Warriors, and a whole bunch of 2 cost Standard Units alongside Maria (17-128L).

We’ll call it Mono-Fire Standard Unit Warrior and Co.

24-017C – Firion

Firion the Tambourine man is here.

I’m liking these new Theatrhythm cards, each Character is carrying an instrument … Maybe we can get a band going. We’ll start off with covers … I’m getting ahead of myself.

3CP, Firion can gain either First Strike or Brave during every Attack Phase.

Either way, Firion will have 8000 power to attack and block.

Maybe, just maybe we’ll get a Theatrhythm deck going.

24-018R – Josef

Search and Play.

Perfect way to get a 2 cost Rebel on the field. And, I’m thinking of Maria 17-128L, which is a very under rated card if you ask me. But, you’re not and we’re talking about Josef.

Josef is a Backup, costs 5CP, and when you have no more use for him or you need to free up space, you can use his ability and send him to the Break Zone, while you’re also giving a Rebel Forward +2000 power.

Not too shabby.
