Season 5 Rankings

-
Season 5 of the Circuit features a restructuring of the rankings from previous seasons. By the end of the season one player will stand above the others as the Sword Saint. Will they live up to the legend of Cidolfus Orlandeau?
Also, players will find that the competition to qualify for the Season 5 Championship is fiercer than ever! Only the Top 12 players in points at the end of the season will advance to the Championship Tournament, so every Trial and every point counts!
This is also true for those at the top of the standings when the season ends. The players who finish the season in the Top 4 will receive a generous advantage in the Championship, in the form of a 1st Round Bye!
Whether you're fighting it out to become the Sword Saint, or just to take your place as one of the 12 Zodiac Braves, every game counts. Every point counts. Every Trial counts. Good luck!

Hello FFTCG Community, this is Jared Scott and I'd like to welcome you to the first part of our series about the All-Star Draft.  Although this format hasn't had much in the way of official events in North America, there have been tournaments in Japan that used it going back to Opus V when the All-Star Draft was first unveiled.  The All-Star Draft has become a very popular side event in our local circuit tournaments for several months now and it will be making it's first official, Square Enix-supported appearance in North America as part of the Reunion Petit Cup in January! For this series, in Part 1 we'll be looking at what the All-Star Draft is, and what makes it a fun alternative to other formats.  Part 2 will dive into the choices Square Enix made when making their first card pool for the format back in Opus V.  Lastly, Part 3 will look at  how they chose to alter the card pool when implementing Opus VI, as well as how we used the information from thei...

Season 5 Championships: The Top 4

-
Image
These are the 4 strongest competitors this season! They have earned the most points and have earned the right to a first round bye. Our first seed, Brian Gerbi, has achieved a 2nd place, 1st place, and Top 8 finish all with Mono Water and in 3 out of 4 of his appearances  this season. He finished the season with a Top 8 at Trial 5 and stumbled in swiss and missed Top cut in the final Trial. So while he is still the Sword Saint because of the most points, he has to bounce back and prove he is deserving of the top spot after a shaky finish to the season. Gerbi awaits the winner of the two strong Jo(h)ns. He should have no trouble preparing for his bracket as his skill level and experience are among the best. All 3 have favorite types of decks and there probably won't be many surprises in deck choices. Gerbi should have no trouble navigating a probable grindy 2nd round matchup. Second seed Nghia Tran loves the unconventional. While midrange decks are prevalent, Nghia prefers to...
