Gunslinger in the Earth

Shop for these Singles and more at our TCG Player Store!

20-061H – Ajido-Marujido

I don’t know how playable this card is.

You need at least 3 elements to get the first ability to go off, and 5 elements for the second ability. Granted if you do pay with 5 elements, both of Ajido-Marujidos abilities will go off.
Now, what do these abilities do?

The first one breaks one of your opponent’s Forwards, while the second one removes one of your opponent’s Forwards from the game.

You likely won’t be able to get the full effect of this card until late in the game, but if you do, you’ll be getting rid of 2 of your opponent’s Forwards leaving a whole in their front line.

Hopefully this will be the card that hands you the game.

If not, then there are plenty of other cards available to use.

20-062R – Apururu

Does anyone actually play a Final Fantasy XI themed deck?

If so what is it? Apururu here might be able to help you out as Apururu will produce CP of any element when paying for a Final Fantasy XI card.

And, at 2CP it’s worth throwing it in your deck.

Why is it that Earth has the most cards that can produce CP of any Element?

I don’t know if Apururu knows the answer, but he might be a decent play.

20-063R -Althyk EX

Why does Althyk look like Odin?

“Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental”

Althyk enters the field, and if you have at least 4 of “The Twelve” on the field, Althyk will deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 9000 damage, giving you a good chance at breaking that Forward.

And, what does Odin do? Odin breaks them. Well most of the time.

Did we mention this also comes off of an EX Burst?

20-064R – Ignis

Ignis is a Wild Card.

His ability is only as good as the Forwards that you already have on the field.

Once Ignis enters the field, you’ll dull 2 Forwards and deal another Forward damage equal to the power of the other 2 Forwards that you dulled.

It’s a mix and match game.

Do you have enough power to take down that 9000 power body that your opponent has on the field? Have Ignis take him down. If not just hold on to Ignis until you do.

Ignis also gains +2000 power when you have 3 points of damage.

20-065L – Vanille

At 1CP what’s not to like about Vanille.

The art? It’s great. The 4000 power? That’s perfect for her ability.

Vanille works great as a defender. She will block any attack, and if she is sent to the Break Zone, you can then remove her from the game, and Vanille will allow you to grab a Final Fantasy XIII Forward from your Break Zone.

And, if that’s not enough. Once per turn Vanille will look at the top card of your deck, and if it is a Final Fantasy XIII card, you will add that card to your hand.

Like I said, what’s not to like?

20-066L – Vincent

The Gunslinger, Vincent, ready to wreak havoc on you opponent.

Vincent comes in and right from the get go, he will destroy all of your opponent’s Forwards that cost 3CP or less. 99.99% of the time, those Forwards will be sent to the Break Zone. And, I only said 99.99% because we might get a 3 cost Forward with more then 10K. There are plenty of 9K Forwards, and those might make it out alive if you have a card like Maria (1-083H) on the field, who will give all your Forwards +1000 power.

Vincent will also deal 9000 damage to a Forward that targets him with it’s ability.
And, when Vincent is chosen by your opponent’s Summon, Vincent will choose one of your opponent’s Forwards and deal them 9000 damage as well.

If you get this at Prerelease or in draft, you better come out the winner.

Let’s not forget, Vincent also has First Strike!

20-067H – Eiko

If you’ve been wondering why we’ve been getting all these Summons with Eiko on them, we now have your answer.

Not really, but it sounded good.

Eiko will come in and you can grab 4 Summons from your Break Zone and put them on top of your deck. You may now shuffle your deck and reveal the top 4 cards. If you find a Summon, you can cast it without paying the cost.

The rest of the cards are sent into the Break Zone.

You might get a great play, but then again you might lose 3 of the cards that you need. It’s risk vs. reward here.

Eiko then sticks around as a Forward with 5000 power.

20-068C – Gladiator

I think they’re running out of Standard Units. I’ll have to check to make sure, but they introduced an old game, just to use the Jobs.

I don’t mind it, I’m just saying what it looks like to me. I think it’s time to bring the 8bit sprites for cards.

Oh wait. We’re supposed to be talking about Gladiator.

Gladiator is a Backup, that can give one of your Forwards +1000 power until the end of the turn. You’ll need to discard a card for this ability.

And, if the card you discard is a Fire card, then that Forward gains +3000 power.

And, that’s about it.

Now, where are those 8bit cards?

20-069C – BeastMaster

Do you feel lucky?

Play Beastmaster, and when you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck, and if you find a Monster that costs 2CP or less, you can play it on to the field. If not all 3 cards go to the bottom of your deck.

You can also put Beastmaster in the Break Zone and give one of your Monster Forwards +4000 power.

It’s a gamble that will cost you 3CP.

20-070H – Zangan

Zangan makes an appearance after being on hiatus since Opus I. Maybe that’s why he looks angry.

And this one is worth playing.

First off, Zangan will allow you to play a Tifa from your hand onto the field. Tifa’s cost can be no more than 5CP. This allows you to play any TIfa so far, except for the Rebellion’s Call Tifa which costs 6CP.

This would make Zangan a good play all in itself, as you will get 2 cards for the price of one.

But, that is definitely not all that Zangan can do. Zangan allows himself and Tifa to use abilities that dull in the same turn as they come in.

And, Zangan does have an ability as such, when you use it, you will deal 5000 damage to a Forward for each Martial Artist that you have. It will usually be Zangan and Tifa on the field. But, there is also Dadaluma and a Snow card that is a Martial Artist as well. Not to mention Opus I Bartz, who has all the jobs.

A new tribal deck has emerged, and is in the process of being complete.

20-071C – Sheiran

What am I missing?

I don’t remember Sheiran in Final Fantasy VII, unless they just named him in the Remake.
Sheiran enters the field and grabs a Final Fantasy VII Character from the Break Zone. And, if it’s Tifa, her cost is reduced by 3CP.

Was he the doctor that helped Cloud, or was that just nurses? I can’t remember. I just remember Cloud in a wheel chair.

It took me a second to realize that yes, Sheiran grabs a Final Fantasy VII Character from the Break Zone. And, grabbing cards from the Break Zone is always great.

This is why first opinions should always be double checked.

20-072R – Titan

Big Boss Man Titan.

He’s more like a manager.

When you cast Titan, you’ll give one of your Forwards +2000 power, and that Forward will deal damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards that you will choose.

We’ve seen this before, plenty of times. The only difference with this Titan is that you can dull 2 Earth Forwards instead of paying 3CP.

 

20-073C – Dyne

The other man with a machine gun hand.

Dyne comes in for 6CP, and you’re going to want to pay for him with cards from your hand.

Why?

Because the more cards you discard to pay for Dyne, the stronger his attack is.
4000 for each card you discard, bringing it up to a total of 12,000 damage to a Forward.

And, after that attack is done, you have a 9K body on the field. Ready to attack or block.

20-074C – Tama

Tama comes in and you have a decision to make.

Would you like to gain a Crystal?

Or would you like to grab a World of Final Fantasy Character from the Break Zone?
Either way you’re getting something.

Luckily we got Geomancer in this set, and you’ll be ready to use that second ability to grab from your Break Zone.

 

20-075C – Dio

Here’s your “Rainbow in the Park”

Sort of looks like Dio too, if you take away the mustache, and make him shorter. And less buff.

The Park Director is ready to manhandle your opponent, one Forward at a time. Cause when Dio blocks, or gets blocked he gains +3000 power, add in Enna Kros and that’s another +1000 power, and Maria as we mentioned earlier with Vincent, that brings Dio up to +5000 power.

That’s a lot of power.

And, when you have that 12,000 power on Dio, you can choose which Forward will block Dio. Allowing you to slowly take apart your opponent’s front line.

I think Dio along with Vincent will be fun to play with. Not against.

20-076H – Tifa

Are you ready for another 3 Card Trick?

Tifa, Zangan and Cloud, is all you’ll need. Doesn’t matter which Cloud as long as you have Zangan. The only Zangan that we have as of now. Maybe we’ll get another one this set, but I haven’t seen any yet. (Edit : I did, but I already wrote this one)

Zangan will come in and he will search for Tifa. Tifa will get Haste because Zangan is on the field. Since Tifa has Haste, you can go ahead and use her S ability. You can discard any card, because Zangan is on the field. Deal 8000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards, and since Cloud is on the field you will Activate Tifa. Rinse and Repeat, until you run out of cards in your hand, or Forwards to target.

Final Fantasy VII will be fun to play once again.

20-077R – Noctis

Noctis is thinking of a plan. How do I get back our fallen comrades?

And, he has figured it out.

When Noctis comes on to the field, he will search for a Final Fantasy XV Character and he will place it on top of your deck.

Now, that doesn’t help much, but if you have received 3 points of damage, Noctis’s second ability comes into play, which states When Noctis enters the field, draw a card. Technically speaking, Noctis grabs a Final Fantasy XV Character from the Break Zone and adds it to your hand.

After that, Noctis is a Meat Shield that will block an attack, and once he enters the Break Zone, you can play him once again.
Extra points if you grab Noctis and repeat, over and over for a blocker that can never be stopped.

It’s like casting Reraise.

20-078C – Nophica

Here we go!

Nophica is able to grab a couple of “The Twelve” from the Break Zone. One on her way in, and one on her way out.

At 4CP this can potentially be a Free Play, and if you play your cards right, it will be a Free Play.

With 8000 power, your opponent will have a little bit of a struggle trying to deal with her, and when they finally do, you can just put Nophica into the Break Zone, to grab the other “The Twelve” member.

The only thing that would make this card better is, if Nophica was able to grab herself from the Break Zone. But, then Nophica would have been more than a Rare.

20-079C-15-080C – Geomancer

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.

“Geomancer here comes in gives you a Crystal, that you can use to play Cecil. After that, Geomancer dulls and heads over to the Break Zone, and gives Cecil Brave on the way out.”

What was Cecil doing?

At least you can use Geomancer for Tama.

20-080C – Mandragora

Didn’t we already get this card last set? Let me check.

Nope we got a similar card, which combined with this one will leave your opponent hurting.

Mandragora becomes a Forward during your turn and whenever it deals damage to a Forward that Forward breaks. Like the Wind.

And if Mandragora deals damage to your opponent, Mandragora gets sent to the Break Zone, and you can grab a card from your Break Zone and add it to your hand. You can always pick another Mandragora from your Break Zone, rinse and repeat.

We currently have 3 Mandragora type cards. I’ll be keeping an eye on these, maybe someday we’ll be able to make a Madragora deck.

Singles from under the Earth!

Hidden Legends of Earth

24-055R – Ash

I really need to play Stranger of Paradise at some point.

Ash looks like he is the perfect Meat Shield.

Whenever he blocks, or is blocked he gains +3000 power.

And, since Ash already has Brave, you don’t need to worry about keeping him for defense.

Just add in Enna Kross, and I’m sure there are other cards that will give Ash a buff, and you’ll be set.

Let’s not forget about the Crystal you gain anytime Ash is targeted by Summons and abilities.

24-056C – Cu Sith EX

Well, we kept saying we need a way to remove Backups once their use is gone, and here we have it.

Cu Sith allows you to remove a Backup from the game, and then you can draw a card.

The other ability is to protect one of your Forwards from damage.

Both are pretty decent abilities. And, depending on the situation, wither can make Cu Sith a good play.

If you’re Backup heavy and you like rotating your Backups, once they’ve come in.

I mean once you’ve played the Backup and searched for the card you want, that Backup is taking up the place of another Backup that can come in and have a new ability trigger.

24-057C – Cloud

Really?

They gave Cloud a Violin?

Cloud comes right in and for an additional 3CP, Cloud will Break a dull Forward.

Other than that, there is Braver.

Which allows you to, you guessed it Choose a dull Forward and Break it.

I can’t really see Cloud playing an instrument, he’s probably the kid in the corner too cool to do anything.

24-058R – Titan (XVI)

Titan, coming in with Brave and a 9K body.

This Eikon already has built in protection from being dulled by your opponent.

Yes, you can Prime into Titan, but if you don’t Titan will cost you 6CP, and when he comes in he will deal 9000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards. But, they can block it by paying 3CP. Either way you’ll get something out of it.

Now, all we need is to see what Hugo does, and if it is worth Priming into Titan.

It usually is.

24-059R – Cactite

Cactite might look tiny, but he is a huge Monster.

Cactite can easily break a dull Forward regardless of cost. Sure the MS Paint art style might make you think that this card will be worthless, but the 2CP you’ll pay to play Tiny Cactus onto the field is worth it’s weight in gold.

I’m not saying the art is bad, it’s actually pretty cool, just different.

Anyways, whenever one of your Forwards attacks, you can toss Cactite into the Break Zone and break one of your
opponent’s dull Forwards.

Simple as that.

And, you can have 3 of these on the field at the same time.

24-060C – Noctis

The Prince and a his Cello. Or is that a Double Bass?

Any ways, Noctis comes right in and let’s you grab an Earth Forward from your Break Zone, and play it straight to the field.
After that you have a body with 8000 power.

6CP, might be a bit high, but you’ll be playing 2 Forwards.

And that, I think is worth it.

Should you play this card instead of another Noctis, probably not, but you can just throw this one in any Earth deck, and he’ll do fine.

24-061L – Basch

Just place Basch in your deck, and you’ll do great.

5CP is worth playing this card. I’d even pay more for it.

Basch comes in and doesn’t do anything right away, but at the beginning of any Attack Phase, Basch will give all of your Forward +2000 power and Brave. We don’t even need to mention his other ability, because you will probably never use it. I know the chances of me using it is close to none.

What’s the other ability?

Reveal the top 3 cards and add a FFXII card to your hand.

No need for that, not when you have +2000 power and Brave for all of your Forwards.

We forgot to mention that, if you already have 2 Final Fantasy XII Characters on the field, Basch’s cost is reduced by 3.
Making him cost a whopping total of 2CP.

24-062C – Bangaa

I got excited for a moment. I read the card wrong and thought that Bangaa was the perfect fir for Basch.

Rereading the card, Bangaa is still decent, just not as good as I thought.

Bangaa comes in and you draw a card, bringing his cost down to 1CP.

After that depending on how many Earth Backups yoou have on the field, Bangaa will give all of your Forwards +3000 power and Brave until the end of the turn.

You can still use this with Basch when you do have another 3 Backups on the field, giving all of your Forwards +5000 and Brave.

This is where you can use Cu Sith.

24-063H – Hugh Yurg

I always liked the look of these cards.

At 4CP, Hugh Yurg allows you to search for an Earth Forward with the cost of 1CP, and play it straight to the field.

And, once that Forward enters the field, you can choose a Forward and give it +2000 power and Brave.

And, Hugh Yurg isn’t even done.

Not only is Hugh a body with 8000 power, but every time you play a 1 cost Forward on to the field, you will give another Forward +2000 power and Brave.

I think I’m seeing a pattern here.

24-064R – Hugo

The answer is yes.

You should Prime Hugo into Titan.

I mean why wouldn’t you.

You can still play Titan (XVI) right from your deck, but if you Prime into him from Hugo, it’ll cost one less CP, and it’ll also cost your opponent 2CP more. Or not, depending on if they want one of their Forwards to take 8000 damage.

And, once that enter the field ability goes off, Hugo is just a meat Shield, so you might as well Prime into Titan (XVI) as soon as possible.

24-065H – Fenrir

A 2 cost Summon that will allow you to break a card equal to the CP of a card that you discard.

That just means that Fenrir’s cost is 4CP.

That’s about it.

While looking at the artwork, you notice that Eiko is on the card. I was hoping for some synergy between the 2.

It is a beautiful card, and that’s about it for me.

Prove me wrong.

24-066C – White Monk

Just like a ticking time bomb.

White Monk comes in and hangs out on the field, producing 1CP per turn.

And, when the time comes you can send White Monk into the Break Zone and Break a Monster that costs 3CP or less. An Earth Forward needs to have come into your field this turn, in order for you to be able to use this ability.

If you’re playing Earth, I’m pretty sure you’ll be playing Forwards each turn.

Not too shabby.

24-067R – Moogle (SOPFFO)

I can see activation and re-activation.

When a Forward enters the field, you activate Moogle.

Right before that, I hope you used his ability to give another Forward +2000 power until the end of the turn.

Then the aforementioned Forward will come in, where Moogle will activate again, and you will use Moogle’s ability to give +2000 power to one of your Forwards.

Rinse and Repeat.

24-068H – Morse

“– — .-. … .”

3CP, for an 8K body with Brave.

You could stop right there and it would have been a great Common, but Morse isn’t a Common, he’s a Hero. That means there’s more than just that.

When Morse enters or attacks, you can pay an extra Earth Crystal Point and choose one of your opponent’s Forwards, Morse and said Forward will attack each other dealing damage that equals their power.

Let’s not forget that Morse also gains +1000 power at 3 points of damage, and another +1000 power at 5 points.

Add in Basch and Moogle, and Bangaa, and you have a Sharpshooter ready to take down your opponent’s Forwards.

24-069C – Y’shtola EX

The more I see these Theatrhythm cards the more I thin that something is brewing.

I don’t think we’ve had Theatrhythm cards this good. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe I’m right.

Y’shtola comes in and grabs a Forward from your Break Zone, and if that was all she did, Y’shtola would still be a great card.
And, if you have at least 3 Elements on your front lines Y’shtola gains +3000 power making her an 8K body

 

24-070L – Lightning

Another Lightning, I believe we tied the record of consecutive Opuses? Opi? with Lightning. I’m not complaining. I was just expecting a Fang Full Art this set.

This is a great card, if I do say so myself.

And just like plenty of Earth Forwards, you don’t need to play them in their respective Category.

Lightning is a 2 cost Legend that can remove Attacking Forwards or Blocking Forwards from the game. And, once that happens, you will bring Lightning back to your hand, where you can replay her for the next block or her next attack.

You can also end up paying only 1CP of any color to bring Lightning out. As long as you have another card named Lightning in your Break Zone. This means you can splash this Earth Lightning into any deck that you’d like. No need for color fixing.

I’ll take 3.

24-071C – Rulgia

Another Warrior of the Crystal! Are we going to have 6 or is this the last one to make them 4?

Rulgia would have been great if he was a Backup.

Hanging out on the field, giving all of the Warriors of the Crystals +1000 power and Brave.

But, Rulgia is a Forward wth 7000 power, plus the 1000 power that he gives to himself.

The more I see the Crystal Warriors, the more I like them.

Kind of excited to try them out.

24-072C- Leo

Why not just make this card cost 5 Crystal Points instead of you needing to dull 4 active Characters?

Why?

Because, it would be too easy to break Forwards. And, since Leo is just a Common it would have been too easy.

You’ll most likely want to build up your Backups quickly, that way you won’t have to worry about whether or not to use this card.

Beyond Destiny – Quake Shake

Shop these Singles and more at our TCGPlayer Shop

21-061H – Ursula

Crystals and more Crystals.

Bring us your Crystals.

At least Ursula will give you one when she enters the field. And you can go ahead and use a Crystal to give her +3000 power. And, then you can use another Crystal and give her another +3000 power. And so on and so forth.

Or you can use that Crystal to grant your Forwards some protection from EX Bursts.

I wonder if this counts as EX Bursts that result from damage taken.

Either way, it’s still a good ability to spend a Crystal on.

21-062H – Ash

There’s a Strangers of Paradise Hero in every element. I just realized this.

Ash here, is a great supporting card. As long as you have Forwards with Brave on the field, Ash will give them a +3000 buff. I don’t think I ever thought about having a deck with only Forwards that have Brave. It might actually be a little interesting.
Anyways, Ash can grab a Character from the Break Zone when he enters the field, but only if you have a couple of SOPFFO Forwards already on the field.

And last, but not least, Ash can give another Forward Brave. And, once he gives that Forward Brave, that Forward gets the +3K buff as well.

I like this card. I might have to try it out.

21-063C – Dark Knight

This reminds me of an old card, Dark Knight (1-092C) to be exact.

Dark Knight gains +1000 power for each point of damage you have received. Which along with Enna Kros, and Ash, if you have 6 points of damage, Dark Knight will have a total of 16,000 power. But, only if you use Ash’s ability to give Dark Knight Brave.

Dark Knight also has an ability that will allow you to break a Forward. Sure, he’ll also deal you a point of damage, but, if you’re playing Dark Knight, that’s pretty much what you want. Get to 6 points of damage as fast as you can.

21-064L – Ingus EX

If you have 5 Earth Backups on the field, Ingus costs a total of 1CP.

And, after that, Ingus will search for an Earth Forward.

If you’re playing Mono-Earth you will be playing Ingus.

I mean where else can you hopefully pay 1CP for a 9k body.

And, that’s all I got.

 

21-065R – Onion Knight

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a card with no text.
…
…
…
…
3CP
…
9000 Power
…
Meat Shield at it’s finest.

21-066C – Guy

Guy and Ash should make a Tag Team.

Guy is a simple card, one that talk to animals. And, those animals tell Guy that he should always attack as long as Ash is on the field.

For whenever Guy attacks, he’ll gain +3000 from his ability, and another +3000 from Ash. making Guy hit hard. 11,000 power in one attack.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

21-067R – Galuf

This is awesome, and it’s just a Rare.

Imagine that.

Galuf gives all of your low cost Forwards +2000 power. And when he enters the field, you can most likely grab a 2 cost Forward from the top 5 cards of your deck, and play it straight to the field.

Galuf costs 4CP, but you’ll probably get the 2CP back if you find a Forward.

Blade of Dawn deals one of your opponents Forwards 8000 damage.

Stick Galuf in a deck with Maria (17-128L) and you’ll be all set ready to go.

Let’s put this idea for a deck on the back burner. Along with the countless other decks I want to try and build.

21-068C – Qiqirn

Roll of the dice?

Qiqirn comes in, checks the top 5 cards of your deck and grabs a Forward from there, while the other cards go to the bottom of your deck.

After that Qiqirn is just a Backup, that had the ability to Break a dull Forward, before heading into the Break Zone.

Don’t tell me you don’t think you’ll find at least one Forward out of the top 5 cards of your deck. Worse case scenario, is that you don’t find a Forward, and you see the card you needed head back to the bottom of the deck.

21-069C – Krile

For 2CP you can discard a Summon, and deal a Forward 8000 damage.

And, after that, you can pay 2CP and grab that same Summon from the Break Zone and add it to your hand.

Recycling at it’s finest.

Krile may not help with your empty soda cans, but, she’ll love to grab some slightly used Summons.

Even Krile can’t believe how bad that one was.

21-070C – White Mage

This is a great card.

At least I think so.

And, is I think so, well then I’m going to persuade you that it is.

You play White Mage for 4CP, and then you a play a 3 cost Forward straight from the Break Zone.

It’s a POGO on a Forward. What’s POGO. Play One, Get One.

Yes, I’ll keep a foil play-set on hand.

21-071H – Titan

When are we going to get some 8bit cards.

If you’re doing a Titan from FFIII at least give us sprites.

Please?

Imagine a Mosaic with 8bit art.

Anyways, Titan simple summon. Either deal a Forward 9000 damage, or break a dull Forward.

21-072H – Tulien

Need a way to make a Forward attack or block? Tulien is here to help you with that.

During your turn you can use his ability and have a Forward attack or block.

Get rid of those pesky Forwards that have low HP and a irritating ability that you want to get rid of.

Plus, when Tulien attacks or blocks, the damage he deals goes up by 2000.

Thus, making Tulien a 3 cost Forward with 9000 power and 7000 HP.

I wonder if that’s how it works?

21-073R – Stoneserpent General Zazarg

You can throw this Serpent General in any Earth deck, and it will make that earth deck, just a little bit better. Throw in Ash as well and you’ll have a body on the field that will be tough to get rid of.

General Zazarg comes in for 2CP, if you already have 2 Earth Characters on the field.

What I like is Stoneserpent General Zazarg’s ability that triggers whenever he is dealt damage by your opponent’s Summons or abilities. What is this ability? You simply get to deal 8000 damage to any Forward.

Maybe you’ll break the Forward dealing damage, before they deal damage.

21-074L – Neo Exdeath

Standing in at 8CP and 10,000 Power.

I don’t know what’s better.

The Amano art or the ability?

Neo Exdeath is a one-sided board wipe. Neo Exdeath will come in, sacrifice to of your Backups, and remove all of your opponents Forwards and Monsters from the game.

‘Nuff said.

21-075R – Haveh

“Haveh your way!”

How is this just a Rare?

Haveh comes in and puts a cog in your opponent’s gears. By canceling power increase from your opponent’s Summons and abilities.

Plus, Haveh gives a nice buff to your Warriors, and he gains, +1000 power and Brave at 3 points of damage. Add in Ash, and your set.

You can actually just throw Haveh into that Warrior tribal deck we made a while ago.

21-076C – White Tiger l’Cie Qun’mi

First time I saw this card I thought it was Lightning, and then I realized it wasn’t. But, since Type-0 and FFXIII are somehow connected through the Fabula Nova Crystallis myth, I believe that White Tiger Qun’mi and Lightning are connected. Sure, I base this off the artwork of this card, and I’ll stop here.

4 cost Forward, with 8000 power. Just a regular Common, but it does have an ability that whenever White Tiger l’Cie Qun’mi is chosen by a Summon or ability she gains +2000 power.

And, this is where Ash comes in. I think Ash might be the best card in Earth this set.

Ash will give White Tiger l’Cie Qun’mi Brave, thus giving her +2000 power and +3000 power. Making her a Forward with 13,000 power.

That’s a big body.

21-077C – Monk

I just realized each element has the same Standard Unit Backup again.

And they all do the same thing.

Monk comes in and gives you a Crystal, and if you have less than 3 Backups on the field, you also draw a card.

And, that pretty much sums it up.

Again.

21-078C – Ram

You can actually use this Monster to buff White Tiger l’Cie Qun’mi, to grant her +5000 power.

Ram doesn’t really do much, he just come in dull, activates during your next turn, where you can use it’s ability, and after that Ram will take a nap, as it does not activate during your next active phase. You’ll have to wait an additional turn in order to use it’s ability once more.

I’d say this one is a Sleeper.

 

12-079R – Lich

7CP for Lich?

Yes, and you’ll be happy to pay for it. Especially if you’re running Mono-Earth. Simply because you can pay the 7CP upfront, and every time Lich is put into the Break Zone, you can discard a card and play Lich back onto the field. Yes, you can only use this ability if you have at least 7 Earth Characters on the field.

Then you’ll ask, Why would I want to pay 7CP for a 9K Forward?

That’s because every time Lich enters the field, his Enter the Field ability goes off, and you can choose one of your opponents Forwards and Break it at the end of the turn. In other words, Lich casts Doom with a tiny bit of time on the counter.

After that find a way to break Lich, discard a card and Voila, you can reuse Doom.

This is a card that will become a problem.

12-080R – Runda

Simple 2 cost Backup, that can cast some Protect, or Shell on one of your Forwards.

If one of them is being targeted by a Summon or ability that causes damage, you can dull Runda, and reduce that damage by 3000.

And, that pretty much sums Runda up.

The Warriors

Since Benjamin is the only Mystic Quest Character, we’ll have to do this deck a little bit different. We can see that Benjamin is a Warrior, so what better time to do a Warrior tribal deck than now?

We’re starting off with Benjamin (16-076C) well because he is the Warrior that will be built around. How easy is it going to be? I guess we’ll find out.

We’re starting off with a card that we haven’t really used, but looks like the perfect candidate for The Warriors. Maria (17-128L) Giving all of your 2 cost Forwards (or less) +2000 power. And, we know for sure there are plenty of Warriors that cost 2CP. Warrior (2-010C), Warrior (5-014C) and Warrior (8-013C). Plus Maria can turn a Backup into a Forward with 8K power, and if it’s a 2 cost Backup it will also gain another 2000 power. We’ll just add Warrior (11-010C) and Warrior (17-069C). We’ll also add Delita (1-113C) because of this and Wol (13-117R).

Since we have Wol, we’ll add Graff (13-057H) which will give all of your Earth Forwards +2000 power along with your Mobius Characters.

Firion (15-081C) because we have a Rebel in Maria, and that gives Firion a buff and Brave.

Ward (6-001C) as he gives all the Job Warriors +2000 Power.

Warrior of Light (14-004C) all your Standard Units +1000 power, and at 3 points of damage, it will become a total 0f +3000 power.

We need to be able to produce Lightning CP to play Wol, so we’ll grab Class Tenth Moogle (9-074C).

Backups we’re grabbing Miner (5-082C) to grab a Backup and a Forward from the Break Zone, if needed.

Ingus (13-055C), will give a Standard Unit +1000 power and Brave, once per turn.

As for Summons we’ll go with Alexander EX (13-053R) and Titan (17-070R). We’re just going with Summons that will give your Forwards a buff.

Forwards

3x – Delita (1-113C)
2x – Warrior (2-010C)
2x – Warrior (5-014C)
2x – Warrior (8-013C)
3x – Wol (13-117R)
3x – Maria (17-128L)
3x – Graff (13-057H)
3x – Firion (15-081C)
3x – Ward (6-001C)
3x – Warrior of Light (14-004C)
3x – Benjamin (16-073C)

Backups

3x – Class Tenth Moogle (9-074C)
3x – Warrior (11-010C)
3x – Ingus (13-055C)
3x – Warrior (17-069C)
3x – Miner (5-082C)

Summons

3x – Alexander EX (13-053R)
2x – Titan (17-070R)

Plan here is to Swarm your opponent with low cost Forwards that receive Buffs left and right and from across the stream.

What would you do differently?

Krile’s Splinter

Krile, your Backup Warrior of Light. Taking Galuf’s spot on the team and she does a good job at it. We’re actually going to use 2 Kriles in this deck. Krile (7-068H) and Krile (18-055R). Both of these Kriles work around Summons, and the Resurgence of Power Krile also allows you to grab a FFV Forward from your Break Zone. Thus bringing us to the next Character, Galuf.

You know we had to bring in her Grandfather. And, we are going with Galuf (12-056H), any Forward that has the ability to attack twice in one turn, especially with +10K power, is a go. And when he is sent into the Break Zone, you can search for a 2 cost Earth Forward and play it onto the field.

Next we’ll add Kolka (7-069C) and Tyro (11-072R). Both are Backups and both allow us to search for Krile, or Galuf if Krile is already on the field. And since Tyro allows us to produce CP of a different Element, we will add in the rest of the Warriors of Light.

Bartz (7-059L), cause this is a great card that can attack up to 3 times. You’ll just need some extra Bartzes on hand in order to do so. 3 to be exact. So we’ll just go ahead and add Bartz (19-048C) Because he is easy to recycle back into your deck. And any other Bartz you like, we’ll go with Bartz (12-052H).

Lenna (12-109L), just help us grab a Forward from the Break Zone and play it onto the field. And, Faris to help us grab a FFV Character from the top of your deck when she enters the field. If Lenna is on the field, Faris gains +2000 power.

Ghido (3-131H)? What? Who plays Ghido? Well, Ghido can contact Krile telepathically and that is why he is in here. Ghido is a little bit of a Backup plan that can return high cost Forwards to their owner’s deck.

If we take a look back at Galuf’s ability of searching for an Earth Forward, we are grabbing Ewen (17-080R) and Aerith (16-067L).
We need some more Backups. Let’s get some protection here. Cait Sith (XIV) (6-072C) and Layle (8-088C), both of these cards will protect us from Summons.

Summons are next. We’re bringing in Syldra (3-035H) as it is the only FFV Summon that we have, and it does a pretty decent job so, we’ll keep it.

Fenrir (19-064R), because everyone likes free cards. And Titan (17-070R) to give everyone a 5K boost.

And we’ll grab Objet d’Art (12-064C) which can turn into a Forward, or give all your Forwards +2K and Brave.

Forwards

3x – Ewen (17-080R)
3x – Aerith (16-067L)
3x – Bartz (7-059L)

3x – Lenna (12-109L)
