Blissful Eternity

The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game community is buzzing today with the official reveal of Opus XXVIII: Blissful Eternity. With a heavy focus on one of the franchise’s most beloved entries and some high-end collector’s items, this set is shaping up to be a monumental release for 2026.

Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming set.


Mark Your Calendars: Release Dates

The summer is looking hot for FFTCG players. Set your reminders for these key dates:

  • Midnight Prerelease: July 24, 2026

  • Official Launch: July 31, 2026

Note: Stay tuned for more details on our Midnight Prerelease event coming soon!

The Year of Final Fantasy X

It’s no coincidence that Tidus is gracing the box art for Blissful Eternity, following Yuna’s appearance on the Dreamlike Oceans (Opus XXVII) box art coming this March.

As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy X, the game is clearly taking center stage. Fans are already speculating that this could mean the return of the “YRP” (Yuna, Rikku, Paine) meta. Will we see new versions of the iconic trio to shake up the competitive scene?

The Return of “Noir” and Gold Signatures

Collectors, get your top-loaders ready. The Noir style—first introduced in the FFTCG Special PR Collection Noir—is making a comeback. These striking black-and-white reprints featuring Tetsuya Nomura’s signature are highly coveted, and this set brings a heavy hitter:

  1. Noir Reprint: Cloud (11-127L)

  2. The Gold Treatment: A brand new Sephiroth (29-087L) will receive the Full Art Gold Signature treatment.

With two Gold Signatures in one set, the hunt is on. I’m personally curious to see if the pull rates for these will be identical; I have a sneaking suspicion that one might end up being the ‘ultimate’ chase card of the set, but we’ll have to wait for the official drop to find out.

Set Breakdown & Legacy Cards

Opus XXVIII is packed with value, boasting a massive 36 Full Art cards. We also have confirmation on the Legacy Card slots, which feature some powerhouse reprints:

  • Gilgamesh (14-023L)

  • Warrior of Light (21-121L)

  • Mont Leonis (22-113L)

First Look: New Artwork

While we don’t have the full text for these cards yet, the artwork for seven key characters has been teased. The lineup includes:

  • Seymour, Eiko, Yuna, Kelger, Roche, Faris, and Zidane.


What are you most excited for in Blissful Eternity? Are you chasing that Noir Cloud, or are you hoping for a meta-defining YRP comeback? Let us know in the comments!

Journey of Water

27-091R – Adelheid

The Recycling Scholar.

Miner 2.0.

Adelheid let’s you grab 2 Forwards from your Break Zone.

And, that is about it.

All I know is that we can all use more cards that grab cards from the Break Zone.

Yes, you shall play this card.

27-092H – Ultimecia

The Wicked Witch of Water.

Maybe she’s just misunderstood. Especially given some of the fan theories I read over the years, she just might be.
Anyways, Ultimecia is ready to go and for 4CP and 3 cards removed from your Break Zone, and you can gain control of one of your opponent’s Forwards.

You’ll need to pay it’s cost, using any colored CP, if you don’t, you’ll just end up putting that Forward into the Break Zone, which in itself is a great thing too.
.

27-093C – Urianger

Just what we needed. Well we always need more Backups like this. Backups that can produce CP from another element.
Urianger does just that as he produces Lightning CP.

What else does he do?

When Urianger enters the field, and Koana is on the field as well, you will draw a card, making Urianger a free play.

 

.

27-094C – Garnet

Umm?

Why would they have that as an EX Burst? Putting the top 3 cards of your deck into the Break Zone, for no reason doesn’t seam like a great play to me.

Garnet’s other ability is good though.

You can remove one Summon from your Break Zone, and your opponent will choose one of their Forwards and they will put it in their Break Zone.

This is a decent play, which kind of evens out the cost of the top 3 cards of your deck when she enters the field, but what happens when the top 3 cards of your deck have the cards you need to play?

It’s worth a gamble if you ask me.

27-095H – Gau

Gau is ready to add more power to your Monster deck. Or any other deck for that matter. It’s just that we associate Gau with Monsters.

Gau comes in and you look at the top 5 cards of your deck, and add 2 Characters that cost up to 2CP.

If you succed and find 2 cards, it brings Gau’s cost down to 1CP.

And his ability doubles his power and grants him Brave.

What’s not to like?

27-096C – Chemist

Chemist is moonlighting as an Ice Backup.

Why?

Cause if you pay the extra cost, Chemist will Dull/Freeze 2 of your opponent’s Forwards.

That will explain why you need one Ice CP to pay for the extra cost.

 

.

27-097C – Black Mage

Black Mage comes on in and your opponent has to make a decision.

Which Forward will they send to the Break Zone?

All I know, is that that Forward has to cost 2CP or less.

And, if you have a Multi-Element Forward on your field, that chosen Forward can now cost up to 4CP, giving them a bigger selection on who to Break.

.

27-098L – The Emperor

The Emperor of Palamecia is back again, doing the same old shtick.

Whenever The Emperor is put into the Break Zone, you can play The Emperor from your hand onto the field. 5CP or less, and we already know that the highest cost for The Emperor is 5CP, so you can play any Emperor that you would like.

Not only that, but you can put The Emperor into the Break Zone yourself when you use his ability. And, it is an ability that you would like to use over and over if you can. What’s that ability? You’ll choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and they will lose 8000 power and their abilities as well.

How many Emperors can you have in your deck before you decide it’s too much?

All I know is that there are 6 The Emperors, that when put in the Break Zone will find a way to play another of your Emperors onto the field.

Can we build a deck around this? I shall give it a try.

27-099H – Gogo

Ever needed a Mime to do Mime-ey things?

Gogo got you covered, (s)he can even go-go dance. Probably.

Gogo can only come in during your opponent’s turn, and when Gogo does come in Gogo will use the same auto ability that your opponent just used.

Gogo practically mimicked what your opponent did.

And that is why Gogo is a mime.

Yeah, don’t got much to say.

27-100R – Schultz EX

You can see Schultz holding a letter. But, what really is in the envelope is a card. Most likely a water card. And when he enters the field you can look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Once you’ve taken a good look at them, you can put them at the top of your deck or the bottom of your deck, in any order that you ‘d like.

Once you do this, you will reveal the top card of your deck, and if it’s a Water card, you can add it to your hand. If it’s not then you struck out. So, make sure you put them back right.

This is a sure draw if you’re playing Mono-Water, if you’re not, then you have a 25% chance of whiffing on this play.

This ability also comes off of an EX Burst.

27-101l – Sin

Sin is a Monster.

If you don’t believe me just take a look at him.

Sin enters the field for a whopping 8CP.

What do we get for that?

Well, Sin will break 2 of your opponent’s Forwards and 1 of their Backups. Send them to the Break Zone. Of course you’ll also have to remove 15 cards from your Break Zone, in order to trigger this ability.

Those 15 cards are already in your Break Zone, so you probably don’t have any use for them anyways.

After everything is done, you’ll have a giant Meat Shield on the field, cause it’ll be hard to get rid of SIn.

27-102R – Tidus

4CP/8000 Power.

Tidus comes in and hands out Guardian Counters like candy.

What do these Counters do?

They reduce the damage taken by 5000. Which will save you from a lot of attacks, Summon or abilities.

You can also use Tidus’s ability to give +1000 power to all of your Forwards.

After that he’s just a Meat Shield, and a good one at that.

Maybe you can use Opus VI Rinoa to bounce Tidus, and hand out even more Guardian Counters.

27-103C – Tonberry

Tonberry comes into the field and he starts stabbing.

Just a small stab at first. One of your opponent’s Forwards loses 2000 power.

And then you have Tonberry’s ability where he will break one of your opponent’s Forwards. You can choose any Forward as long as it has 8000 power or less.

Not bad if you ask me, 3CP to play Tonberry, and you can break one of your Forwards whenever you would like.
If this card has a Full Art, I’ll take 3 of those.

27-104C – Ninja

This Ninja look more like a tank.

Ninja will come in for 2CP, and has a simple enter the field ability which will give one of your Forwards the ability to draw a card if they deal damage to your opponent during this turn.

And, that is all.

You might be able to find some use with Ninja in certain situations, but it’s not a card that you will want to use all the time.
Unless it’s turn one, and you also have Roche, then go right ahead.

.
27-105R – Mayakov

Mayakov looks like he’s ready to star in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.

Mayakov is a cheap Forward, that gets better the more Dancers you have on the field.

You can dull these Dancers and that is how you pay for Mayakov’s abilities.

One will reduce the power of one of your opponent’s Forwards by 2000, and the other will draw you a card.

And if you don’t like dulling your active Dancers, Mayakov has an ability that will Activate 3 of your Dancers. That way you won’t think too much about whether it’s worth dulling you Dancers or not.

27-106C – Mog (VI)

It’s a cheap play, that can draw you a card.

It’s not like you need all of those cards in your Break Zone, half of those cards, are there for a reason.

What you’ll do is play Mog for 1CP. Remove 5 cards from your Break Zone and draw a card.

You’ll be up by 1CP.

I’m not saying you need to put Mog in every deck, but, there could be some use to him.
.

27-107R – Yuna

I’m guessing you can play Yuna with the Tidus in this set. I’m also guessing that you can use this Yuna with a Tidus from any set. Let’s say Emissaries of Light. Cause, who doesn’t like that Tidus.

Yuna comes in and grabs Tidus from your Break Zone.

She also can’t be chosen by your opponent’s Summons.

And, that is all.

Once Yuna grabs Tidus, she has no use anymore, you can use her to block an attack, and play a more useful Yuna.
.

27-108H – Leviathan

There’s a lot going on for 5CP.

And, I got to say that it is worth playing this card.

Leviathan comes in and you get to return one of your opponent’s Forwards to their hand. And, that’s not all. Nope, you can also play a 3CP Forward from your hand onto the field.

This brings Leviathan’s cost down to 2CP.

The only thing that would make this card better would be if it came off of an EX Burst.

But, then it would have to be a Legend. And, to date we only have had 6 Legend Summons. None of which are Water.

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.

More Singles!

25-086R – Abzu

You would think that, if your Job was Corneo’s Pet, you should have some synergy with Don Corneo.

But, that’s not happening. Not with Abzu.

That doesn’t mean that Abzu is a bad card, no Abzu is actually pretty decent.

Abzu doesn’t let your opponent’s Forwards gain any buff to their power.

Abzu is also a Forward and whenever Abzu attacks, one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 5000 power until the end of the turn.

You might break that Forward or you might not. But, Abzu will have a good chance at surviving.

25-087C – Abzu Shoat

I’m seeing doubles, and they can turn into triples.

You can have 3 Abzu Shoats on the field at once, at 1CP each you can have a little bit of fun.

First off you can dull Abzu Shoat and discard a Water card to have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 1000 power until the end of the turn.

Or you can send Abzu Shoat into the Break Zone, and have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose all of their abilities.

If you have all 3 one the field, and they all use that second ability, you might just be able to crack through your opponent’s defenses.

Let’s see this one in action.

25-088H – Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud

Here’s another way to get rid of a Backup that has lost it’s use after it entered the field.
By removing one of your Water Backups from the game, you will reduce the cost to cast Famfrit by 2CP.

After that, Famfrit will break a Forward that has an Auto ability that was triggered.
Not only that, but you will also draw a card.

And, this my friends makes Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud a Free Play!

I’ll take 3!

25-089R – Cagnazzo

I remember fighting this overgrown turtle.

Coming in at 2CP, Cagnazzo acts more like a Summon than a Forward. When Cagnazzo enters the field, you will choose one of your opponent’s Forwards, and send it back to their hand.

Now, if Golbez is already on the field, you can take that Forward and chuck it into the Break Zone.

And, that’s it.

You’ll have a 5K body on the field, which you will want to find a way to Break Cagnazzo, just so you can replay him.

Imagine having Cagnazzo back when Neo-Exdeath was big.

25-090C – Quacho Queen

2 cost Backup that is also a Common.

Quaho Queen will give a WoFF Forward +1000 power until the end of the turn.

And, that is it.

There’s not much to write about her, so I’m just writing whatever comes to mind, just so it can take up some space.

We don’t want to leave an empty square next to Quacho Queen.

25-091H – Kraken (III)

Now this is a card that you have been waiting for! And, you didn’t even know it.

Kraken reduces the cost of all of your Summons and Monsters by 1CP!

That means you can get more Monsters out, quicker and more efficiently.

Not only that, but Kraken will also remove one of your opponent’s Backups from the game for as long as Kraken is on the field.

This one is going straight into my Bomb deck.

I’ll take 3 of these, and let’s not get into the Amano Art.

25-092C – Cloud of Darkness

A what now?

How is Cloud of Darkness a Common.

Cloud of Darkness comes in for 5CP and sends all of your opponent’s Forwards into the Break Zone!

Except for 2. Your opponent will choose 2 Forwards that they can keep.

All you need after that is find a way to get rid of the other 2 Forwards, you can use Sophie from this set for one, and the other one, well that’s up to you.

Cloud of Darkness also has 8000 power, so she will be able to block a couple of attacks, or deal some damage. Whichever you prefer will work.

25-093C – Corsair

Corsair shall come in and return a 2 cost Forward to their owner’s hand. Your opponent’s Forward that is.

Coming in with 3000 power, Corsair will be able to block an attack, and he will be sent to the Break Zone.

And, that is where you want Corsair to be. In the Break Zone.

Why?

Because you’ll want to find a way to play Corsair from the Break Zone, for when Corsair enters the field, Corsair will once again return one of your opponent’s Forwards to their hand, but they will also draw a card for you.

And, if you can find a way to keep bring Corsair back, you’ll have enough cards in your hand to put your plan into overdrive.

25-094C – White Mage

Here’s your Water Elemental Backup.

White Mage is ready to come in and do what White Mage needs to do.

White Mage will either raise a 1 cost Forward from the Break Zone, and bring it back to your hand.

Or, White Mage will draw you a card.

I can’t think of many 1CP Forwards that would be worth grabbing.

And, I was wrong. There are plenty of 1 cost Forwards worth choosing.

I might even use this one in my Octopus/Pirate deck that is still in the works.

25-095C – Cecil

For 5CP you get a Meat Shield with 9000 power.

Not only that, but whenever your Forwards are dealt damage by your opponent’s abilities, Cecil will reduce that damage by 2000. Hopefully helping your Forwards survive that damage.

I’d say this would be a good card if there is a way to reduce Cecil’s CP.

You can probably play Cecil 20-075L, and switch this one in, Or you can have Rosa 20-125R on the field, which will allow you to draw a card when Cecil enters the field. This would technically make Cecil 3CP.

Other than that, there’s not much to say about this one.

25-096L – Tidus

For 5CP you can return a Backup to your hand, and then the next Final Fantasy X Character that you play, it’s cost will be reduced by 3CP.

There’s 2 cards that I would pick to return to your hand. Rikku (2-071R), as it would be a Free Play to play Rikku back to the field and have her activate all of your Forwards. Or, you can return Brother (1-197S) to your hand and play him back to the field to have you search for a Final Fantasy X Character and add it to your hand.

If you decide to go with Brother, Tidus is now technically a free play.

And, don’t you think that Tidus is done here.

Every time Tidus or a Final Fantasy X Character enters your field, you will choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and they will lose 4000 power.

That will be 4000 from Tidus, and 4000 from Brother one play and you just might break 2 o your opponent’s Forwards.

25-097H – Doctor Cid

Time for some research, and who better than Doctor Cid.

4CP can be paid only with Water CP in order to cast Cid.

And, when he enters the field, you can place one of your opponent’s Forwards and put them at the bottom of their deck. That way the pesky Forward that has been bothering you for some time now, needs plenty of resources to be able to come out again to cause you some more trouble.

And whenever one of your opponent’s Forwards leaves the field, for any reason, Doctor Cid will begin his research and will allow you to draw a card. Once you have that card in hand, the research begins as you decide which card you will discard.

Simple as that.

25-098R – Broden

An owner?

What does Broden own?

I’m sure if you played Final Fantasy VII Rebirth you would know.

But, just saying Owner as a Job Title?

Yeah, this is the second Owner we have had so far. Soon we’ll be able to build a deck.
And as an Owner, Broden doesn’t do anything. He’ll just give you 2 cards and then just stand around taking up space. You’ll want to get rid of him, or don’t even bother playing him.

25-099C – Porom

Don’t like your hand?

Porom is here to help.

She’ll let you change out 1 card, with a new card from the top of your deck.

And, if that didn’t work, you can discard a Palom, draw 2 cards and then discard another card.

Is this a good strategy?

Maybe, Maybe not. But, don’t give up that card that you might need later.

25-100R – Matt

If Matt is here, you know that Glenn and Lucia are around the corner somewhere.

Matt comes in for 2CP, and he will be a good addition to your SOLDIER deck. All SOLDIERs are welcome, as with Matt on the field, all of your SOLDIERs will not be able to be chosen by your opponent’s abilities. This means that I’m 99.99% sure that either Glenn or Lucia, will have All SOLDIERS, cannot be chosen by your opponent’s Summons.

Matt also has the ability to lower a Forwards power by 2000. Which could be the little bit of power that you need to help break that Forward.

He also has First Strike.

25-101L – Meia

Are there enough MOBIUS cards to make this worthwhile? Enough to make a MOBIUS themed deck?

Meia comes in and if you decide to remove a MOBIUS card from the game, your opponent will choose one of their Forwards and they will put it in the Break Zone.

Meia can also reduce the cost of casting a Summon by 1, all you have to do is remove a MOBIUS card from your Break Zone.

I mean, maybe.

I would rather use Meia (16-123L).

25-102C – Rosa EX

Rosa comes in and searches for either Cecil or Ceodore, and brings them home.
Bringing her cost down a notch to 2CP, and she comes with 5000 power as well. Which is not bad.

And, let’s not forget Shell, because Rosa gives her family protection from your opponent’s Summons and abilities, in that they cannot choose Rosa, Cecil or Ceodore.

Are there better Rosas? Yes, but that doesn’t mean that you should ignore this one.

Hidden Legends of Water

24-091L – Astrius

Water starting off with a Legend.

Astrius, the Willweaver, will weave your will to get things done.

Just make sure that you always attack when Astrius is on the field, for whenever he attacks, you get to choose between Astrius’s two abilities.

And, 99.99% of the time you will be choosing his second ability, because the first one is just choosing a Forward and having it lose 7000 power.

The second ability, the one that you will be choosing is dealing your opponent 1 point of damage.

And just like that Astrius is worth 5CP. I’m sure we would gladly pay more for this card, but 5CP is perfect.

To make things even better, if you have 7 Final Fantasy Brave Exvius cards in the Break Zone, or removed from game, Astrius turns into a Free Play! And, who doesn’t like Free Plays.

24-092R – Gau

I’m trying to see if Gau is worth playing.

Discard Gau, to play Gau, but which Gau do you play.

Do you pay 5CP, or just 2CP?

I mean, you can grab Opus IV Gau, and Luminous Puma, grab a Forward from the Break Zone, and once the new Gau comes in you can play a 2 cost monster from the Break Zone. Melusine sounds good, and once Melusine comes in you can choose one of your opponent’s Forwards that cost 4CP or less and gain control of it for a turn.

And that’s just one little Combo that you can do with Gau.

24-093R – Kimahri

Kimahri coming in when your opponent least expects it, through the back door, and casting Protect on all your Forwards.

All damage dealt to your Forwards will be reduced by 2000, for the turn that Kimahri comes in. Your Final Fantasy X Forwards will have an additional 2000 reduction to the damage dealt to them.

After that turn is over, Kimahri will still reduce the damage dealt to your Final Fantasy X Forwards.

Are we bringing back YRP?

We might finally have a decent Kimahri.

24-094C – Corsair

I still don’t know what a Corsair actually is.

But, I do know what Corsair does.

He let’s you draw a card. And for 3CP that can be more than enough.

And, let’s not forget that if you have 4 Water Backups on the field, you can chose a card in your Break zone, and put it at the bottom of your deck.

After that just search for that card and play it.

Not bad.

24-095C – Jecht

Jecht is Jecht, and he e-Jechts a Forward back to their opponent’s hand.

Yes, that was terrible.

But, it’s true, as soon as Jecht enters the field you will return one of your opponent’s Forwards back to their hand.

And, every time one of your opponent’s Forwards is returned to their hand, Jecht shall choose another Forward your opponent controls and they lose 3000 power. This will also go into effect every time you return a Forward to their owner’s hand.

And, you get to keep a 9K body on the board.

No re-Jecht-ion here.

24-096R – Jed

Hmm, I wonder what he’s thinking?

Actually I know what Jed is thinking. He’s thinking, “Why is he a Water card if he is a Samurai?”

We were kind of thinking the same thing.

Jed comes in and for 3CP, you get a 8K body. If you have at least 1 Crystal, Jed has 9K power and Brave.

And, when Jed attacks, you have the option of paying 1 Crystal to draw a card.

There actually is another Water Samurai. But, that is Jed as well.

24-097C – Stiltzkin

This is the start of a new era of Moogles.

Stiltzkin is set to make Moogles a fun deck. One letter at a time.

That was Stiltzkin, right? Mailing letters?

If not then well, he shall deliver Moogles from your Break Zone. Cause when Stiltzkin comes in, you can grab a 2 cost Moogle from your Break Zone and play it straight to the field.

Might as well grab Mog (VI) and you’ll be set. Don’t know why, just scroll down a bit.

After that is all done, you can dull 2 Moogles and have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 2000 power.

Stiltzkin might only have 3000 power, but that’s OK. Once he enters the field, and you played the Moogle from your Break Zone, you can use him to block an attack and have him sent to the Break Zone, just so you can play Stiltzkin again and grab another moogle from your Break Zone.

I’ll take 3 Full Arts.

24-098H – Strago

We always wanted a way to get a card back from the Break Zone. Especially when you’re running just one of a certain card that you need in certain situations, and you now need that card to turn the board in your favor.

When Strago comes in you will be able to grab a card from your Damage Zone, and trade it with a card in your hand.
That would be enough, but Strago is far from done. Well, he’s half way done.

Whenever you put a card in your Damage Zone, your opponent chooses a Forward that they control and they put it in the Break Zone.

Is it worth 6CP? Of course it is.

24-099C – Siren (MOBIUS) EX

Null Damage at it’s finest.

Siren nulls the next damage dealt to one of your Forwards.

Plus you get to draw a card.

That’s about it.

This also comes off of an EX Burst, but I don’t see that being as helpful, not when you don’t have any Forwards left on the field cause your opponent has gone to town on your front lines.

At least you get a card. That’s probably the best reason to play this card.

24-100C – Cecil

Now, this is how it should be done.

Cecil is the Backup that is always ready to cast Null Damage.

Although you won’t be drawing a card when you cast Cecil, Cecil is on;y 2CP, compared to the 3CP that Siren costs.

Cecil also has another ability that will Break one of your opponent’s Forwards.

Either way, Cecil is going to get something done, Breaking or Saving.

The choice is up to you.

24-101C – Tidus EX

Tidus with a 50% rebate.

That’s what we’ll call it.

Tidus comes in and returns one of your opponent’s Forwards to their hand, as long as it’s CP is 4 or less.

Once that forward makes it’s way back to your opponent’s hand Tidus’s second ability kicks in and you draw a card.

The good thing about this second ability is that, you can draw a card once per turn, if you send a Character back to your opponent’s hand.

Tidus might just keep on giving.

24-102C – Perrene

Perrene looks to be an integral part of the Warriors of the Crystals, and that is for one reason only.

Every time a Warrior of the Crystal is put into the Break Zone, Perrene hands you a Crystal.

And, why is that good?

Well, as you can see instead of paying the cost to play a Warrior of the Crystal, you can pay 1 Crystal and 1CP of any element. Meaning you don’t need to worry about which elements to play.

Perrene also has an 8K body, making her a decent Meat Shield.

24-103C – Moogle (FFTA)

Here’s a decent Backup to use if you’re playing Tidus.

When a Water Forward enters your field, you can put moogles into the Break Zone and return a 4 cost Forward or less to your opponent’s hand.

After that you can draw a card because you already have Tidus on the field.

Now all you need to do is play Stiltzkin and grab Moogle from the Break Zone and play him onto the field.

And now you’re back to where you started and your opponent has one less Forward on the field.

24-104R – Mog (VI)

Is Mog enough to make a Moogle deck?

Are there enough moogles to make a moogle deck?

What about Good King Moggle Mog XII?

All of that is a strong maybe, and I am one who might look into it a bit better.

For 2CP, you get a moogle with a 5k body and, with every moogle that you have on the field Mog gains +1000 power. There are 59 different cards that you can choose from.

That right there would have been good enough for me. But, we’re not done.

Whenever Mog is put into the Break Zone, you can discard a Job Moogle from your hand, and play Mog back to the field.
You’ll have a high powered Forward that your opponent will have trouble trying to keep Mog off of the field.

24-105R – Malboro

Bad Breath incoming!

Get your opponent ready to face the worst this Monster has to offer.

Blind, Poison, Sleep, Slow, you name it, you’ll have it.

Luckily this isn’t the game, so no Blind, no poison and no slow. Sleep, yeah, but this time Malboro isn’t casting it.

Malboro shall take away all of your opponent’s buffs, and abilities, including Haste, Brave, First Strike whatever it is that their Forwards have is gone.

Not only that, but all of your opponent’s Forwards will lose 3000 power as well. That means that some of them might be broken.

You can’t go wrong with Malboro, and the best part, it only costs 1CP!

24-106H – Leviathan

The Biblical Beast Returns, and it’s taking out it’s fellow Leviathans to cause more destruction to your opponent.

For 3CP, Leviathan allows your opponent to choose a Forward or a Monster that they control and sends them to the Break Zone.

If you’d like to pay the extra cost, you can remove 4 Leviathans from your Break Zone, and your opponent shall choose 2 Forwards and/or Monsters and send those to the Break Zone.

For 3CP, I say you can’t go wrong with this one.

24-107L – Relm

Artwork? Check.

Legend? Check.

Abilities? Depends.

Relm is worth playing if you are playing a FFVI themed deck, as her enter the field ability will only work if there are at least another 4 VI Characters on the field.

If you do, when Relm enter the field, you can search for a 3 cost monster and play it onto the field. It’s your Buy 1 Get 1 Free special.

As you know Relm is a Pictomancer, and her specialty is Monsters.

You can use her second ability to give a Monster a 2K buff.

I’d say it depends on what your running. This isn’t a bad Relm, she will do good in specific FFVI themed decks. For all other decks I would say Opus XI Relm is much better.

24-108H – Wakka

Wakka is here to be a powerhouse.

For every FFX Character that you control, Wakka gains a 1K buff to his power.

Now imagine YRP is back, that is 3 right there, plus Brother and Shinra. That’s 2 more. Bring it up to +5K for Wakka.

When Wakka does enter the field, depending on how high his power is, you’ll be able to choose one of your opponent’s Forwards, and place them on the top of their deck. You can choose any Forward as long as their power is less than Wakka’s. Which shouldn’t be too hard to do.

Wakka also has his Elemental Reels which will have one of your opponent’s Forwards lose 5000 power.

I would say, play Wakka with the new YRP, and Opus I Tidus and Emissaries of Light Tidus. You’ll thank me later. Or not.
