Journey of Limit Breaks

27-113R – Firion LB

Yes, and no.

Firion comes on in and he activates 3 of your Backups. Then you’ll look at the top 3 cards of your deck and add one of them to your hand.

What do I like?

That you will reduce the cost to play Firion down to 2CP.

You’ll need 7CP to play him, but you’ll get most of that CP back.

I mean, you can throw it in your Limit Break deck, and maybe you’ll have a use for it.

I believe there are better cards to play.

27-114R – Robel Akbel LB

We’re getting plenty of ways to break Forwards … wait a minute .. a Character? Not just a Forward, but a Backup or a Monster as well?

Take your pick! Robel-Akbel can and will take care of anything that your opponent has placed on the field.

And, the cost isntt that high for what you are getting. If we take into account Opus I Odin that breaks any Forward, which costs 7CP. Robel-Akbel also costs 7CP, and he will send any Character to the Break Zone, plus you’ll have a Meat Shield on the field for after wards.

Yes, you do need a total of 5 Backups on the field, but you should be aiming for that anyway.

27-115R – Shadow Lord LB

If your playing Iced Earth, you’ll be having some fun with Shadow Lord.

You’ll need 4 Ice Characters and 4 Earth Characters on the field to get the full effect of Shadow Lord’s enter the field abilities. And that should be the only time you play him, because if not, well then you’ll be wasting CP.

If you have 4 Ice Characters on the field, Shadow Lord will dull and Freeze 2 of your opponent’s Characters.

If you have 4 Earth Characters on the field, Shadow Lord will grab a Character from your Break Zone, bringing his cost down to 4CP.

There will be moments when Shadow Lord shines, but there will also be plenty of times that he will be useless. Especially in the early game.

27-116R – The Emperor LB

Weren’t we just talking about the Emperor just the other day?

Well, here’s to starting off the recycling of The Emperor with this card right here. Ice/Lightning ready to roll.

Every time the Emperor attacks, you will dull one of your opponent’s Forwards. The Emperor will be able to sneak in attacks from this early on. And, when your opponent has had enough of The Emperor’s shenanigans, and decides to get rid of him, you will search for another Emperor when this Emperor leaves the field.

I shall get to work on this deck.
.

27-117R – Onion Knight LB

What do we have here?

Onion Knight acting like a ninja, that comes with a warranty of sorts. Onion Knight works his magic on the way out, rather than when he enters the field.

When Onion Knight does leave the field, you can play a Dissidia Forward from your hand that costs 4CP. And, you can put Onion Knight into the Break Zone whenever you’d like to Break a Forward of 4CP or less.

Once that happens, you play a Dissidia Forward from your hand.

And there are a lot of Dissidia Forwards to choose from.

27-118R – Vaan LB

Sky Pirates or not, Vaan is a decent Limit Break in all of your Wind/Water decks.

If you have 4 Wind Characters on the field, Vaan will Activate all of your Backups.

If you have 4 Water Characters on the field, Vaan will cause a Forward to lose 8000 power.

Both are good abilities, but I prefer the Wind one Activating all of your Backups, meaning that Vaan’s cost can come down to 2CP and if you have an Opus VIII White Mage on the field. You can then go ahead and Activate all of your Forwards.

This might be a good play for your Main Phase 2, if things didn’t go as planned.

27-119R – Warrior of Light LB

Warrior of Light is ready to bulk up your front line.

When he enters the field, you can search for either a Earth Standard Unit or a Water Standard Unit and play it onto the field.
And, when that Standard Unit enters the field you will draw a card. Only draw back is that you will have to discard a card as well.

You can always play Opus IV Viking and get and additional card when it enters the field. Bringing Warrior of Light’s cost down to 2CP, and you’ll get that 2CP when Viking leaves the field. It’s not a bad play, but there are better ones.

.

27-120R – Terra LB

5CP, plus the extra cost if you want to use her abilities, for a maximum of 7CP.

The first one with the additional cost of 1 Lightning CP will break one of your opponents Forwards.

The second one with the additional cost of 1 Fire CP, will remove all of the cards in your opponent’s Break Zone.
The first one is worth paying for, every single time.

The second one, is worth it if your opponent keeps going into their Break Zone to grab a card that was lost earlier.
Either way, Terra is a good play.
.

27-121R – Locke LB

Locke is ready to roll, and take away your opponent’s resources.

When Locke enters the field, you’ll choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and send them back to their hand. When it is returned to their hand, they will discard a card.

The second ability triggers once per turn, so you can look for different ways to send cards back to their hand. There’s plenty of cards that return cards to your opponent’s hand, you just have to find the right ones.

Other than that, Locke has 8000 power, and should be able to stick around long enough for him to use his ability plenty of times.

Journey of Light and Dark

27-109L – Cecil

Ok, I’m having trouble understanding this, but from what I do understand, is that Cecil chooses a Forward and they both lose power, less than Cecil’s power.

I’m guessing you target your opponent’s Forwards, and hopefully they lose enough power that they are sent to the Break Zone.

Cecil has 9000 power, so I’m guessing he will break Forwards with 8000 power or less.

Cecil also has another ability which will grant him 10,000 power. Thus making his first ability deadly. For your opponent.
I’m guessing this is what the card does. If it’s not, I’ll revisit it with a revised opinion on it.

27-110H – Bartz

Has anyone ever made a Final Fantasy V deck?

There’s more than enough cards to go about it. And, all of those Standard Units that Final Fantasy V has. You can technically build a deck with nothing but Bartz cards.

Well, we’re here to talk about this Bartz.

The Wanderer, the Warrior of Light.

If you already have 4 Final Fantasy V Characters on the field, Bartz gains Haste, First Strike and Brave.

And, when he enters the field, you can reveal the top 7 cards of your deck and add 2 Final Fantasy V Characters to your hand. Which should be easy, considering you’re playing a Final Fantasy V deck.

This brings Bartz’s cost down to 1CP. And, with 9000 power, Bartz will stick around long enough.

27-111L – Jack Garland

Garland is Garland in all situations. Check.

When Jack enters the field, you will pick one job, and Garland will not be able to be chosen by any abilities coming from that class. Class sounds so much better than Job.

And, at the end of your turn, Jack will remove one Forward with said Job from the game.

You’ll slowly be getting rid of your opponent’s Forwards, and they will be playing catch up to try and get their front lines operating once again.
.

27-112H – Snovlinka

Snovinka comes in and you get to choose from 2 enter the field abilities.

The first one gives Snovlinka Haste, and every time she deals damage to your opponent or to one of their Forwards, you will double that damage.

The second one deals 8000 damage to one of their Forwards.

Both are good abilities, but what if you can do both?

Well the good news is that you can. The bad news is that you’ll need to have 5 points of damage to do so.

And, when you do have 5 points of damage. Her second ability that deals 8000 damage to one of your opponent’s forwards, will now become 16,000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Unless you’re opponent has a counter to Snovlinka, you will be breaking a Forward when she enters the field.

Lightning of Discovery

27-073R – Ardyn EX

The Chief Minister is here to do Chief Minister things.

The more you break your opponent’s Forwards the better Ardyn will be, and the less he’ll cost in the long run.
Let’s start from the beginning.

When Ardyn enters the field he will break one of your opponent’s Forwards. Or one of your own Forwards if your opponent doesn’t have any.

Now whenever your opponent’s Forwards are sent to the Break Zone, Ardyn will reveal the top card of your deck, and if it’s a Lightning card you can add it to your hand. This one also comes off of an EX Burst.

Mono-Lightning anyone?

27-074H – Adel (VIII)

Adel costs 4CP, but you can pay an extra cost to grant her +1000 power and some protection in not being able to be chosen by some of your opponent’s abilities. And this is a lasting effect.

What’s the cost? Another Witch you will remove her from the Break Zone and you’re good to go.

But, what does Adel actually do?

Well, every time she attacks, you choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and you will send it to the Break Zone.

And what happens when we send one of your opponent’s Forwards to the Break Zone? That’s when Ardyn comes in and well you can just read Ardyn again.

I do like it. Mono-Lightning is coming for you!

27-075L – Edea

I took a look, and there aren’t that many Final Fantasy VIII cards of 2CP or less worth playing. I was trying to see if there were any to play Edea Turn 1. The only one that looked decent was Squall (27-060H). When Squall enters the field, you’ll reveal the top 3 cards of your deck and add a Final Fantasy VIII character to your hand.

If this works. You’ll have 2 Characters on the field, and you would only have paid 1CP for it.

And at the end of your turns, you’ll draw a card if you have at least 4 Final Fantasy VIII Characters on the field.

That’s about it.
.

27-076C -Kain

No need for introductions. Even as a Common, Kain is still a great card to play.

If you already have cast a Dragoon this turn, Kain’s cost goes down to 2CP.

And, if you saved CP this way, you might as well pay the extra cost of 1 Lightning CP to give Kain Haste and First Strike. Allowing him to attack as soon as he enters the field.

And with Kain’s power at 9000, you’ll be doing plenty of damage to your opponent. Especially with First Strike.

.

27-077C – Machinist

Your one cost Standard Unit, Machinist.

Some of these Standard Units are good, and some just fall a little flat.

Take Machinist here, while the ability of dealing a Forward 8000 damage is good, the cost is not so much.

It’s a total of 5CP, to use Machinist’s ability. Which isn’t too bad, it’s just that you can get a similar effect by using less CP.

And yes, you’ll say, but Machinist stays as a Backup and will produce CP per turn.

That’s fair enough, but I will pass. You don’t have to, you can use Machinist and if you beat me using him, I’ll say well he’s not that bad, I guess.

27-078R – Kylma

A 2 cost Backup that Break a Forward. But at what price?

An arm and a leg, that’s the price. 2 cards from the top of your deck, for every CP needed to cast that Forward.

What happens when you’re trying to get rid of Opus XVI Chaos at 11CP? You’re going to remove 22 cards from your deck? That’s just Insane if you ask me. Yes, you don’t have to worry about paying the cost from your hand, but you’re getting rid of cards, that you will probably need later on.

Unless you’re sure you’re going to win the game, by using her ability, I would suggest you stay away from it.

This is a big fat no for me.

27-079H -Gilgamesh

Do you see what I am seeing?

Warriors were already turning up the heat, and now we add Gilgamesh into the mix.

And, I have to say that Gilgamesh is worth every Crystal Point you need to pay to play him.

Gilgamesh gives all of your Warriors, Brave and the ability to attack twice in the same turn.

And, that’s not all, when he enters the field, you will dull 2 of your opponent’s Forwards. Leaving them more suspectable to an attack.

And if that’s not all, Missile Barrage will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards, and give him Haste.

Meaning, that When Gilgamesh enters the field, and you use Missile Barrage, you will dull 2 of your opponent’s Forwards, Break one of their Forwards, and attack twice, and since you have Brave, Gilgamesh will be able to block, just in case you whiffed on the attacks.

This should have been a Legend, with some original artwork.

27-080C – Coeurl

Coeurl is one of the better Monsters that I’ve seen in a while.

Coeurl comes in breaks a Forward.

Coeurl goes to the Break ZOne, breaks a Forward.

That’s all you need to know.

And that is more than enough information to add it to your deck.

I might even add it to my bomb deck.

27-081C – Gladiator

Your best bet is breaking 2 low cost Forwards. One that costs 1CP, and if you have a Multi-Element Forward on the field, you’ll break a 2 cost Forward as well.

There are currently 99 Forwards that cost 1CP, and only a handful of them see any use.

So, I really don’t see Gladiator getting much play.

 

.

 

27-082R – Koana

Just like Edea, Koana comes in and searches for a 2 cost Final Fantasy XIV Character and plays it to the field.

There’s are plenty of cards to choose from.

Koana also has the ability to dull a Forward on command. The best thing about his ability is that you don’t have to send him to the Break Zone, a simple dull will do.

And from what I remember seeing, there are a couple of cards that need Koana on the field, in order to get the full effect.

–

27-083R – Seifer

Look at Seifer, he’s telling you to “Bring it!” Cause he’s ready, even though he only has 4000 power, he’s ready to do some damage.

When he enters the field, he will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards. 2CP or less. But, if you have a witch on the field, it’ll go up to 5CP.

And let’s not forget his Special ability, where he will Break a Forward. Seifer won’t dull with this ability, so if you have plenty of Seifers in your hand and the CP to pay for it, you can Break as many Forwards as you please.

.

27-084R – Thancred

Like we just mentioned earlier some cards need Koana on the field in order to get their full effect.

Thancred here is one such example.

When he enters the field, he will deal 4000 damage to a Forward, if Koana is on the field that damage becomes 7000.
We also have the ability to activate one FFXIV Forward that we control.

Meaning you can use Koana’s ability twice in the same turn. 2 dulls for the price of one.

.

27-085L – Zoraal Ja

Now this is a card. Add this to your The Twelve deck, and you will be set to go.

Coming in at 3CP and 7000 power, Zoraal Ja gains +2000 power and Haste if you have at least 4 FFXIV Characters on the field.
And every time he attacks, you will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

And when you have received 5 points of damage, Zoraal Ja will break an additional Forward when he attacks.

Breaking 2 Forwards per attack is enough to slowly take down your opponent’s offenses.

Let’s not forget to add Hein in here as well, allowing Zoraal Ja to attack twice in one turn. Is that 4 broken Forwards if you have received 5 points of damage?

27-086H – Nine

We’ve been getting plenty of Cadets in recent sets, and Nine is top notch as always.

From the looks of it Cadets are tri-color, Fire/Wind/Lightning. And Nine is here to show you why.

When he enters the field, if you have a Fire Character, Nine will deal 9000 damage to a Forward, and if you have a Wind Character, Nine will activate all of your Backups.

Either one of these is great, but both together makes putting Nine in your deck, worth every CP you’ll pay for him.

What’s even better, is that if you have 5 Backups and use them to pay for Nine, Nine will become a free play.

And, that is something we here at Kardboard Korner love playing.

Full Arts please.

27-087C – Fujin

It always seems like Seifer, Fujin and Raijin are always on the verge of becoming a force to be, but they always seem to fall flat.

Fujin here, is a great Backup to Seifer and Raijin as she grants them +1000 power.

Is it enough to make them a top tier line up?

Not yet, But, they will one day.

.

27-088C – Raijin

And, here is Raijin back to back.

Raijin comes in for 3 CP with 8000 power, plus the 1000 from Fujin we have 9000.

That’s all right so far.

When Raijin enters the field, he will deal 3000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

And, if you want more.

You can dull Fujin, and deal 5000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Does this man that Raijin is using Fujin as a projectile?

27-089H – Ramuh

Well we did get one more Final Fantasy III Summon, I just thought that all six would have been FFIII.

Here we are, The Lord of Thunder is ready to deal 6000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

After that you will reveal the top 3 cards of your deck, and if you find another Ramuh there, you will add it to your hand, making Ramuh a free play.

Are there enough Ramuhs to make this something that we should build a deck around.

Yes, but is it worth making?

Everything is worth making. At least for one game.

27-090C – Dragoon

If you’re playing Dragoons, Dragoon is worth playing.

For it’s a Dragoon.

It will also let you reveal the top 2 cards of your deck, and if there is a Dragoon there you will add it to your hand.

Yes, this Dragoon will be sent to the Break Zone, but you will get another Dragoon that will take it’s place. Probably.

 

 

Electrifying Singles!

Fire of Discovery

27-001R – Auron

Auron is sitting in your back line ready to boost one of your Forwards.

Yes, that Forward need to be blocking an attack, in order for him to get the buff. And, that also means that after you declare the block, your opponent has to do something in order for you to be able to use Auron’s ability.

When all that is said and done, Auron will give your Forward a 7000 power buff to help him block your opponent’s attack.

Hopefully you’ll break that Forward.

27-002H – Ifrit EX

For 1CP, this is a great card. I’ll take 3, and from the looks of it, I sense a Full Art. If there is no Full Art we will riot!

Choose a Forward deal it 5000 damage.

If you choose to pay the extra cost of removing an Ifrit from your Break Zone deal it 8000 damage instead.

What’s not to like. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of Ifrit’s that have been summoned, with nothing to do, but wait for the game to end so they can be summoned again.

Can’t go wrong with 1CP.

And, something tells me we’re getting 1CP Hero Summons for all Elements. And, they’ll all be from Final Fantasy III.

27-003C – Viper

Lots of Final Fantasy XIV support this set. Well, what else would you think? Journey of Discovery has Krile on the box.

Viper comes in for 3CP, and deals a Forward 3000 damage.

Now if you got a Multi-Element Forward on the field, that damage becomes 7000.

After that Viper sticks around as a Meat Shield. He might even attack.

 

27-004C -Ace

In and out. That’s what Ace’s job is.

Ace comes in and deals 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

And, if that’s not enough, you can use Ace’s ability to deal 5000 damage to a Forward as well.
Yes Ace costs 6CP.

And, that is all I have to say about this card. You might be better off with a Monster that does something similar.

27-005R – Guy

Ready to bulk up your front line?

Guy is ready.

When Guy enters the field, you will play one Forward from your hand onto the field. Up to 2CP. And, it doesn’t have to be a Fire Forward, it can be any element.

That’s 2 for Tuesday, even though it’s Wednesday today.

And, that is not all, at the end of each of your turns, if you have 4 Forwards on the field, Guy will draw you a card.

Guy will keep on giving for as long as he is on the field, and at 7000 power, your opponent might have a little bit of trouble getting rid of him.

I can see all Fire decks, having at least one.

27-006R – Chaos Advent

Chaos Advent shines when he is put into the Break Zone.

Chaos Advent will reveal the top 7 cards, and you can play one Strangers of Paradise Forward onto the field.

Quick and easy.

Only set back is that, that Forward becomes a Dark card, with the Job Chaos.

Which means you’ll need a Dark Backup that allows you to play more than one Dark card at a time.

You’ll want to play this one early enough where, Chaos Advent can stick around on the field, until needed to find a Strangers of Paradise Forward.

I’m not sure if that makes sense.

27-007H – Gulool Ja Ja

Spread out the Damage when Gulool Ja Ja deals damage to a Forward, you’ll take that damage and deal it once more to another one of your opponent’s Forwards.

You can do this once per turn, so whenever Gulool Ja Ja attacks, or blocks, or when he enters the field when you have received 5 points of damage, Gulool Ja JA deals 7000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards, triggering his first ability.

This is an interesting card. It might be the first with this ability unless I missed something, but I think this would have stuck.

27-008C – Gladiator

This is what a Bomb Backup would look like.

And, Gladiator can work great alongside the Bombs.

Perhaps he was training near Jachol, where he learned the technique from the Bombs.

Never the less, for 2CP you get a BAckup,that will give you 1CP once per turn, and if you decide to use Gladiator’s abilty, he will send himself to the Break Zone while dealing 2000 damage to all of your opponent’s Forwards.

I’ll be using a couple of these.

27-009C – Samurai

What do we have here?

A Backup that can break a High cost Forward. And Samurai only costs 1CP! Yeah, there is an extra cost of 3CP to use his ability, and that brings you to a total of 4CP.

The only problem you’ll have is finding the Wind CP to pay for the extra cost. There are no Wind Samurais available at the moment.

But, you can always use Princess Sarah (11-128H) for that Wind CP.

 

27-010L – Xande

Xande is sure tired of these Warriors of Light. And, for that reason when he enters the field, Xande will cast Silence. It’s probably SIlence. All the Forwards of a Job that you name will lose all of their abilities until the end of the turn.

And we’re not even done here.

At the begining of every Attack Phase Xande will deal 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards, then you will draw a card and discard a card. And, if you discarded a Xande, you will deal 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Rinse and Repeat.

Yo-u can keep dealing 9000 damage to your opponent’s Forwards for as long as you have a Xande in your hand to discard.

27-011C – Jecht

At 6CP, Jecht is a decent play.

At Warping Speed, Jecht is even better.

For a total of 2CP, you can future proof the board, cause when Jecht enters the field, you can either deal 8000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards, or deal 5000 to all of your opponent’s Forwards.

You’ll choose which one you would like to use once Jecht enters the field and you see what your opponent’s board looks like.

Either way, I would say this one is worth playing.

27-012H – Zell EX

Zell is ready to hopefully take down your opponent’s Forwards as soon as he comes in!

5000 damage divided up any way you would like to any number of Forwards your opponent controls.
And, if you have 4 Final Fantasy VIII Characters on the field, that damage becomes 9000. Meaning that you’ll at least break on of your opponent’s Forwards.

At 5 points of Damage Zell gains Haste.

And, let’s now forget that this ability also comes off of an EX Burst.

Zell might be useful in my Bomb deck.

27-013L – Zeromus

Why didn’t this card get the Full Art treatment. If there was any card that deserved it it would be this one.
Zeromus AKA Zemus comes in the field and does nothing. Not until your Characters are chosen by your opponent’s abilities.

When they are, Zeromus becomes the tax man, and tells your opponent to “Pay Up”. And if they don’t they’re Summon or ability will just fizzle and nothing will happen.

And that cost is pretty high. Either 4CP or a Crystal. If they have an abundance of Crystals they’ll be good to go, if not, then Zeromus will be depleting you’re opponents resources. Their top priority will be to find a way to get rid of Zeromus, allowing you to build your board as you see fit.

How much power does Zeromus have? 8000? Maybe, just maybe, Grenade (5-008R) will become even more useful.

27-014H – Terra

Custom Art? Check.

Let’s see what else she does.

Terra enters the field and you reveal the top 2 cards of your deck. You can grab up to 2 cards. One a Fire card, and the other can be either Wind or Lightning. The cards you don’t grab are sent to the Break Zone.
So far so good, you might actually get a Free Play with Terra.

And, we’re not done yet. Whenever you cast a Wind or Lightning card, Terra can deal 8000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards. Terra does need to be Active for this ability to take effect.

Other than that Terra has 5000 power, but you’ll most likely keep her active to start dealing 8000 damage left and right.

27-015R – Bakool Ja Ja

Need reinforcement that will be on call?

Bakool Ja Ja is ready to help you out with that.

When he enters the field, and leaves the field, you will remove the top card of your deck from the field, and it will be on standby. Not taking up space in your hand. Just in Purgatory, waiting to see, if you will use it during this game.

Now let’s think about it for a second.

Your best bet would be if a Summon was removed from the game, a constant reminder to your opponent not to do anything stupid.

They always said two heads are better than one.

27-016C – Fire Elemental

Here’s a Monster that will do damage on the way in and on the way out.

When Fire Elemental enters the field, it’s do 5000 damage to one Forward.

When Fire Elemental is put into the Break Zone it’ll deal a Forward 8000 damage.

Not bad, but not great either.

I have a feeling we’ll be getting at least three more of these Monsters, and the other two will have a different name. And, they won’t be from Strangers of Paradise.

27-017R – Luneth

Weren’t we just talking about Warriors of Light?

Well, Xande won’t get much done with Luneth.

When Luneth enters the field, you’ll reveal the top card of your deck, and if it’s a Character, and costs under 3CP, you get to play it on to the field.

Doesn’t matter who it is. Doesn’t matter what element it is. You will play that card onto the field. What’s the chances of you hitting a target Character? Pretty good, cause you’ll be putting your deck together.
Minuet? Luneth grants Haste to all of your low cost Forwards.

Fill your deck up with cards that cost 3CP or less, and “Luneth don’t miss.”

And, this is just a Rare?

27-018C – General Leo

Here’s your Buy One Get One Free Card!

When General Leo enters the field you can play a Standard Unit from your hand on to the field. Up to 5CP. What Standard Units do you play? I’d say it depends on what you’re trying to do, but since General Leo doesn’t specify Element, you can cast any Standard Unit that you would like.

His action ability, is just a little ping of damage, but sometimes that’s all you need.

At the end of the day, General Leo has a 9K body ready to go.

Let’s see what General Leo can do. You play General Leo, Paladin (22-101C) who will play a 2CP Forward from your Break Zone. You’ll grab Sol (16-013H) pay a Crystal and play a 4CP Forward from your hand. Yuna (27-129S) is up next allowing you to play a 3CP Forward. and so forth.

So far we got 4 Forwards on the field for 5CP. 5 if you add in the one that Yuna brings in. I know it’s highly unlikely that this will happen in a game, considering your deck and RNG, but the possibilities are there. And if it finally does happen, you just pulled off the heist of the century. Or at least the heist of Opus XXVII.

Hidden Legends Breaking Limits

Get these singles and more at our TCG Player Store!

24-115R – Tenzen LB

The Samurai is back! This time with a Limit Break ready to go off whenever needed.

And, what a Limit Break.

Tenzen comes in and gives all of the Samurais +3000 power, Brave, and the ability to attack twice in the same turn.

And, we already know how Samurais run. Now just take that same deck, and play Tenzen whenever you can from the the Limit Break deck.

Your Samurais will take down your opponent so fast, that your opponent will mistake them for Ninjas.

After all is said and done, if your opponent still has some life, Tenzen sticks around with a 9K body.

24-116R – Snow LB

Snow comes in and searches for Lightning. Yes, he does search for Serah as well, but we all know that you’re going to grab Lightning.

And, that is all he does.

He’s not even a decent Meat Shield, coming in with only 5000 power.

What Kind of Sentinel is that?

If you need Lightning or Serah, sure. If not, then play Lumina.

24-117R – Zidane LB

4CP for a 5K body.

You’d think you’re overpaying, but this is a Limit Break card, and Zidane cannot be blocked by a 4 cost Forward or higher. Meaning that most of Zidane’s attacks can and will go through to damage your opponent.

Also, when Zidane enters the field, your opponent discards the top 2 cards of their deck, if they are of the same element, Zidane will draw you a card.

If you’re playing any kind of Wind deck, I would keep one of these in your Limit Break deck. It’s LB cost is very low, and we all know that you have filler LB cards in that deck just to pay for the cost of the cards you actually want to use.

24-118R – Selh’teus LB

Can you spell indestructable?

S-E-L-H-T-E-U-S

Selh’teus cannot be broken by your opponent’s Summons of abilities, whether they flat out break a Forward, or if they deal damage to a Forward.

The only way your opponent will be able to get rid of Selh’teus, is by blocking her with a Forward with more power than Selh’teus has. or by returning her to your hand, in which you can just play her again. I think.

I’m not sure if Selh’teus can be returned to your hand. Or what happens to it once it is targeted to be returned to your hand.

24-119R – Gilgamesh LB

Greg?

No, that’s not Greg. Maybe it is, we all know about Gilgamesh and his inter dimensional travel.

When Gilgamesh comes in you can either break a 1 cost Forward, or remove 2 cards from your opponent’s Break Zone.

What to choose?

I’d say it depends on what is in your opponent’s Break Zone, and if your opponent has a way of bringing cards back from the Break Zone.

If you have no use for any one of these abilities, you can always just use Gilgamesh to pay for your other Limit Break cards.

24-120R – Warrior of Light LB

This is a cheap card. For what Warrior of Light does, he is extremely cheap, and I would do great in any tribal deck. Or just about any deck running a bunch of Standard Units.

Warrior of Light will protect all of your other Forwards from most of your opponents abilities.

Your Forward will not be chosen, and if they receive damage that damage will be a big fat 0.

2CP + 1LB will grant you this protection for your other Forwards, and you’ll also have an 8K body.

24-121H – Iron Giant (SOPFFO) LB

How is this a Hero, when all these Rares that we’ve just seen are better?

That is my first thought on Iron Giant.

Iron Giant comes in and you get to either deal 5000 damage to a 2 cost Forward, or deal a dull Forward 7000 damage.

There’s nothing really exciting here.

 

24-122H – Magna Roader LB

Magana Roader, choose one ability or choose both. It all depends on how many Wind and/or Ice Characters that you have on the field.

If it’s 4 Ice Characters, your opponent shows you their hand, and you discard one of those cards.

4 Wind Characters, and Magna Roader comes in with Haste.

If you have 4 Ice and 4 Wind you get both of these.

My question is, who is playing Ice/Wind?

24-123H – Vajradhara Wu LB

Coming from Wutai, Vajradara Wu (or Wu for short) can and will break one of your opponent’s Forwards. and after Wu will stick around as an 8K body.

How will Wu do this?

It’s quite simple really.

Wu will break a damaged Forward, or Wu will deal damage to another Forward equal to it’s power.

And, that is pretty much it.

I’d call Vajradara Wu a Summon that sticks around afterwords.

24-124H – The Ur-Dragon King LB

High cost means High Power, and that is what The Ur-Dragon King brings to the table.

You’ll spend 9CP, 2LB and you’ll need 4 Earth Characters, and 4 Lightning Characters on the field in order to get The Ur-Dragon King’s full effect.

This 9K Meat Shield has 2 abilities that go off when it enters the field.

First one is that you can grab 2 Characters from your Break Zone, bringing Ur-Dragon’s cost down to 5CP. You’ll need 4 Earth Characters for this one.

And, second you can choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and The Ur-Dragon King will break it for you. You’ll need 4 Lightning Characters for this one.

If you have the cards on the field, and sufficient CP to pay for this, I would highly recommend it.

24-125H – Tonberry & Cactuar LB

I really wanted this card to be better.

It’s not bad, I was just hoping for Superhero powers.

What we get is a choice between 2 abilities. Who would have guessed?

First one, break a Forward of 3CP or less, which isn’t bad at all.

The second choice is, look at the top 2 cards of your deck and add one to your hand, while the other one goes to the bottom of your deck.

All we have to do is now is figure out which one is Batman and which one is Robin.

I’d say Tonberry is Batman.

24-126H – Ultima Weapon LB

Fire Water Burns!

Ultima Weapon is one of these Dual Element Limit Break Cards that you know will work.

I can actually just throw it in my Bomb deck, which is filled up with Fire/Water and have the perfect Limit Break to use whenever I feel like it.

Yes, just like most of the other Dual Element LBs, you’ll need 4 Characters of each element to get the full effect.

4 Fire Characters will allow Ultima Weapon to deal 9000 damage to a Forward. If you have 4 Water Characters, Ultima Weapon will break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

What’s not to like?

The cost? It’s only 6CP. Opus I Odin costs 7CP, and only breaks 1 Forward.
