19-018R – Waltril
A 2 cost Forward with 5000 power. I mean, cheap to play. Can block a Forward, might deal damage to your opponent.
And, at the end of each of your turns, you gain a Crystal.
19-019R – Vincent
I was writing a whole paragraph, and then I realized I read the card wrong.
Vincent Freezes Backups when he enters the field. I was reading Forwards for some reason.
This is actually a great card, in my opinion. Vincent comes in Freezes 3 Backups, blocks a Forward and gets broken.
After that replay Vincent for some more Frozen Backups.
Find a way to keep getting Vincent back, and you’ll be giving your opponent a hard time.
Might be a good fit for that Shinra deck.
19-020H – Umaro
The Abdominal Snow Man, or just plain Yeti.
Umaro has Brave and he just wants to attack your opponents Forwards, he doesn’t even want to come onto the field, just straight to the Break Zone and deal a Forward 8000 damage.
Once he’s in the Break Zone, you can discard 2 FFVI cards and play him onto the field.
This will work in any FFVI deck. You don’t even need to have the right elements to play Umaro.
Just Throw Umaro into the Break Zone, and then pay the cost with 2 Category VI Characters and you are set.
19-021C – Cloud of Darkness
Pesky Monsters bothering you?
Take them out with this Cloud of Darkness. For only 5CP, you get to choose one of your opponents Monsters and break it.
While she already has the fire power. At 3 points of Darkness … I mean damage. Cloud of Darkness gains Brave. Giving you an extra blocker.
19-022R – Shiva
FREE SUMMON!!!
Yes, we’ll take 3 please.
When Shiva is cast, select 1 Forward. Dull and Freeze.
And, if you already played an Ice Forward, she’s free.
Simple as that.
Oh, and you get to draw 1 card.
19-023C – Snow
Discard and gain more power.
Snow can fit into any Discard deck.
If your opponent has 1 card or less in their hand, Snow gains+2K power.
And, when Snow blocks your opponent discards a card.
“With more discard comes more power.”
19-024L – Sarah (MOBIUS)
“Sarah can’t attack,
Sarah can’t block,
the only thing about her is the way that she stops”
Auto-abilities that is.
Well, not necessarily, but she might.
If one of your opponents Auto-abilities goes off, they’ll have to pay 2CP or else it will cancel.
Other than that, Sarah’s other abilities are, dulling 2 Forwards, and giving a Forward +2000 power.
19-025R – Sephiroth
Technically, you can play Sephiroth for free, but I don’t think you’ll want to wait until you have received 6 points of damage to do so.
Either way, his entry ability is pretty good, but at what cost?
Would you pay 6CP to Break a dull Forward at the beginning of your game, or would you wait until the cost is more reasonable.
Personally, I think there are better choices for this ability.
Oh, and he does have Back Attack
19-026H – Curlax
Here’s a card that will help Snow out. All you have to do is … oh, wait. It’s any Dream Stooge. If a Dream Stooge is sent to the Break Zone, your opponent discards 1 card. And, once there sent, they can be brought back by Laragorn.
Other than that, once per turn, if you control all 3 Dream Stooges, you can Dull and Freeze 1 Forward.
I really like the Dream Stooges. I’m going to give them a go.
19-027R – Chocobo Eater
Simple Monster that does some damage in the form of removal.
Once he enters the field, Chocobo Eater will remove a low cost Forward from the game, for as long as he is on the field.
If nothing else, Chocobo Eater will just stall your opponent for a bit. Unless that’s the only copy of the Forward that they’re playing. Even then, it probably isn’t that important to their deck.
It’s still a cheap play, with a good ability.
19-028C – Terra EX
Did you just cast Shiva, and now need to bring her back to cast her again for free?
Well Terra here, can dig through the Break Zone and find her. Not just Shiva, but any Summon you need to look for.
4 cost Backup, and if you don’t need to grab a Summon you can deal 8K damage to a dull Forward.
Is there a way to bounce Backups?
19-029C – Tohno
You can use a little Tohno in your deck.
Tohno comes in with an enter the field ability which lets you Freeze a Forward. Doesn’t have to be your opponents Forward either. But, why would you want to Freeze your own Forward.
What I like about this card is that you can send Tohno to the Break Zone. That way your opponent will discard a card, and you can play another Backup.
It’s called Backup Management.
If you have any complaints, don’t tell me about them.
19-030R – Norschtalen
If you have Waltrill in the set, you know that Norschtalen isn’t too far behind.
A nice little combo, as Norschtalen allows you to play Waltril straight from the Break Zone. And, if Waltril is not in the Break Zone, you can just grab a Crystal Chronicles Character instead.
For 2CP, Norschtalen is also a decent blocker.
19-031C – Flan
Cheap card to play.
1CP Monster that can become a Forward for an additional 0CP. Quick blocker if you need it, or just an attacker when your opponent runs out of Forwards.
Plus, Flan recycles itself, as when he is sent to the Break Zone you can search for another Flan and add it to your hand.
19-032C – Yuke
Yuke and the Multi Element Payment. MEP. I’m going to claim that term. Let’s see if it catches on. Probably not.
When Yuke enters, if you used 3 different Elements for your MEP, you get to dull 1 Forward.
Other than that he has First Strike.
19-033C – Lean
Discard = no cards in your opponents hand.
And that’s where Lean comes in. IF you decide to play him. For when he enters the field, and your opponent has no cards in their hand, you can search for a card and add it to your hand.
The good thing is that you can search for any card. be it Character or Summon. Forward or Backup, or even a Monster.
What card you search for is up to you.
19-034C – Nu Mou
Like Nu Mou here. If you already read Lean, you know that Nu Mou can help you achieve the goal of your opponent having no cards in their hand. Sure, you need to have received 3 points of damage for your opponent to discard a card when he enters the field, but if you’re playing Discard, you’re going to surely have more cards that will make your opponent discard all their cards.
And, if they know you’re playing Discard, your opponent will most likely be trying to get rid of all their cards so you won’t be forcing them to discard any cards.
Makes sense?
I hope so.
On to the card
Thief (1-069C) or Thief (1-070C) would be ideal. Every time they enter the field, your opponent puts the top card of their deck into the Break Zone. Rikku (2-071R) – Attack with all your Forwards, and during your Main Phase 2 play Rikku, Activate all your Forwards, and return Rikku to your hand to draw a card.
