Season 5 Standings

-
While several of our locals were partying it up in Las Vegas at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival, eleven players came out to the first Trial of the Zodiac Braves last time! We saw a lot of experimentation using the new cards Opus VII brought us. Yuri in particular was in heavy usage as 3 of the players in the Top 4 were using Mono decks.

There were Random Encounters, Final Fantasy cookies, and a whole lot of fun!

If you missed our write-up on the first Trial, go check out how it all went down (and the Top 4 decklists) at:

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...

Another event has come and gone and Trial 2 is in the books. This second event was held at Anime Imports, and even though we were missing some of our regular players, we had a grand total of 21 participants--the most we have seen in a while, and we were thrilled! Very first time being hosted by Anime Imports in Pacifica, CA.  Thank you! A peek at Round 3 pairings We saw a wide variety of decks at this event: Mono Water, Mono Earth, Earth/Wind, Mono Ice, Fire, Ice/Fire, Earth/Fire...too many to name! With this many people, we were able to do 5 rounds of Swiss before cutting to top 8. Meanwhile, those who didn't make it were able to participate in an All-Star Draft Side Event, with a foil cube generously provided by our very own Jared. All-Star Draft in progress Note: If you flick the cards, Jared will flick you. Others who couldn't partake in the Draft event found a neat board game ( Splendor ) to demo and pass the time with instead. An...
