Opus XIV – Multi-Element Review

14-119C – Ardyn

How is this just a common? At 2CP? Is it because it’s Fire/Earth?

Anyway. Ardyn here is a 7K body which comes in with 2 great abilities. You get to choose 1. Either is good. He’ll fit in good with the VII Forwards in this set.

 

 

 

14-120H – Tifa

If you remember from the video when they first revealed this card, we spoke about how Cloud is going to be a great card without knowing what the text was on Cloud’s card. Now that we know. Tifa and Cloud go hand in hand together. So, all you Cloud/Aerith shippers know that you are wrong. It’s Cloud/Tifa.

But, yeah. 3 of these and 3 Clouds, add a Barret and you got yourself a deck. Just throw in the rest of Avalanche and you’re good.

 

14-121L – Barret

It is highly unlikely that Barret will succumb to Damage, since any Damage dealt to him below 9K becomes 0. And if he is buffed up +X power, I can’t find any Forward that would be able to defeat him, save for a couple.

Now, all the AVALANCHE Operative Forwards gain Haste, and you can discard 1 card and grab an AVALANCHE Operative card from your Break Zone.

You can probably grab Tifa, which in turn will let you grab Cloud.

 

14-122L – Al-Cid

Al-Cid is up to his usual self here. And, buy that I mean, it’s a great card once again.

You’ll actually play 2 cards when you play Al-Cid on the field, so it’s pretty much a Buy 1 Get 1 Free. #BOGO

Other than that, depending on who enters the field you can Freeze or Dull your opponents Forwards.

 

14-123C – Sephiroth

Simple Sephiroth.

Simple Power.

Great ability. Second one is better than the first. Should play well with Physalis.

 

 

14-124H – Zeromus

Huh? It’s like all these new cards are great and powerful, and then you think, what do I do against this card. How am I going to block if all my cards are dull? How do I get rid of Zeromus? I’d like to see how this plays out.

Ice/Lightning FTW!

 

 

14-125L – Vaan

Activate. Activate. And play a Sky Pirate.

And then, activate some more.

 

 

 

14-126C – Aerith

Pick 1

A) Bounce a Forward

B) Protect a Forward

Either way, I still think Opus 1 Aerith is better. But, with all the Wind Activating going on, there might be some room for a different Aerith.

 

14-127H – Zidane

At 2CP this card should be a Legend.

It’s like this Zidane is Opus I and Opus III combined. And it’s only a Hero. Only a Hero

Think of the Shenanigans you can pull off with this.

Can’t be blocked. Return a Forward to their owner’s hand. Reveal your opponents hand, choose 1 card remove it, and then play it yourself.

I’ll take 3. Foils. Please let us get a Full Art.

14-128H – Prishe

From far away it looks like she’s sticking her tongue out at you.

For an extra 3CP you can play an Wind or an Earth card onto the field.

At 3 points of Damage, Prishe gains Brave and +1K. I like the other Prishe better. Which one? Not this one.

 

 

14-129H – Gessho

Another card that reveals your opponents hand, only this time you just remove 1 card from the game.

 

 

 

 

14-130H – Cloud of Darkness

Do it right, and you’ll have an 8K body played for free.Other than that just Dull and Freeze a Character when she enters the field.

It’s Been A While – Site Update

Yes, I know.

It’s been a while since we last posted. Mostly because, … well, we were just trying to get all the cards listed before Opus XIII came out. Which was supposed to be today. Waiting for the Pre-release kits to come out last week, and when they weren’t arriving at the distributor, I thought, something is not right here. Couple days later, Square Enix announced that Opus XIII will come out at the end of April. Same with the Chaos Boss Decks. Although Europe and Japan already have all of these, we can’t complain … much.

The Sephiroth Tins – Now, this is another case. We’ve been waiting since December, and I now don’t think that they will be arriving at all. I hope I’m wrong and they eventually make their way over here. Hold on, let me make sure before I go on, just incase there’s some news that came out today.

Nope, nothing. I have heard that the Sephiroth Tin orders won’t get fullfilled to the stores.

I hope I’m wrong. I want those Tins.

Now, onto the Site. Our logo is almost finished, just getting some details done. And then our stickers will come in at some point. We started listing Opus III. Opus IV to Opus XII is all done. Started some Opus XIII, but stopped and will have to do Opus XIII from the beginning.

Once all the Opuses (is that it?) are listed we’ll be starting our Card of the Week, where we’ll be highlighting a random card and talking about it.

Site Update 005

Opus VII is up. Now on to the next Opus? Maybe. We’ll get started on it, but since Opus XIII is right around the corner. We might start focusing on that. But it’s still a long way off. It is?

Yeah, we got a month and a half to go for that.

Other than that, still no news on the Sephiroth Tins. Shadowbringers Starter Decks are coming out next week. As soon as we get them they’ll go up on the site. They’ll be up for Pre-order. But, not before I know how many I’ll have my hands on.

Same thing goes for the Boss Decks. They should be coming out in March, and they will be up for Pre-Order as soon as I have them.

Site Update 004

Well Opus IX is posted. Opus VIII is next and then all the way down to I, then Wave 1. Promo Cards, and Deck Exclusive cards. We’ll get them all up, hopefully before Opus XIII comes out. Trying to get an Opus down a week. If that works good, we’ll be lucky. If not then I’ll have to stop to get Opus XIII up.

In other news we still haven’t gotten the Sephiroth tins. I keep hoping I’ll get a notice that the distributor has received them. I should call them tomorrow to see if they have any news. I know Square-Enix has started sending them out to people who purchased them directly from them, but they made a huge mistake. Instead of sending one tin, they sent out a case. That is probably why the rest of us have not received them yet.
Here’s to getting them in the mail soon.
