Friday Futures #10- Sending some love to XII

Opus 9 is coming in HOT! Fire finally got its bae……or maybe just an Ifrit that got a hold of a dress sphere. Either way, spoilers continue to roll in and I felt it only right to do a Future’s spotlight on a title that is going to be a focus of our upcoming set. XII deserves some more love than what we currently have, and I think these 3 cards could be a spicy way to boost play in standard and in title. First up we have……..

_______________________________

Basch

4cp Fire Forward 8k Power

Rarity- L

Category- XII

Job- Captain

When Basch enters the field, you may return a category XII character you control to your hand, if you do draw a card.

All Category XII characters you control other than Basch gain Brave and +1000 power.

Ruin Impendent- (S) 2(Fire): Choose a forward an opponent controls, break it if it was damaged by a category XII character you control.

____________________________

Just think about Ruin Impendent with L Balthier on board, or even the new buddy of Ba’gamnan we got. This card just does a lot of things that fire currently doesn’t have efficient

I couldn’t just stop there though……..

I had to give some love to one of my favorite bosses from the game Demonwall.

_____________________________

Demon Wall

3CP Earth Monster

Rarity- H

Category- XII

Job- Guardian

2cp: Demon Wall becomes a forward with 7000k Power until the end of turn. If a forward damaged by Demon Wall would go to the break zone, remove it from Game instead.

After Demon Wall deals damage to an opponent remove the top card of their deck from the game.

_______________________________

This just oozes the succulent flavor that only a stone wall could. If it kills a forward it is removed from the game (just like sending your characters off into the void in XII). The fact of removing a card from the game after it deals damage just feels like the slow creep of death moving in on you as he inches closer to your doom. Plus, it’s just too fun of a boss fight to not have a card in our game.

“On the wall the Dynast-King's likeness is carved in relief, this being the last thing most intruders see before the Demonwall bears down upon them, crushing their bones to dust."

“On the wall the Dynast-King's likeness is carved in relief, this being the last thing most intruders see before the Demonwall bears down upon them, crushing their bones to dust."

Last but not least

Time to pay homage to one of the most self-centered characters from the game, Tomaj. He gives you access to “marks”, which were fun little side quest hunts to keep the players happy. I figured with that in mind, we should have some sort of monster manipulation attached to this bar tending buddy!

_______________________________________

Tomaj

4cp Wind Backup

Rarity- R

Category- XII

Job- Sky Pirate

When Tomaj enters the battlefield, if you control another job sky pirate you may choose 1 of the following options:

  • Return a monster form your Break Zone to hand

  • Break a monster of cost equal to or less than the number of sky pirates you control
