Why Tonberry was not used to block Ifrit? That would keep the game in check for mono water. Not doing it allowed Ifrit to run wild and get at least 3 points of damage and decimate mono water board.

Re my ammy on his akstar at 13:30 I was assuming he was going to deploy the yuzuki. Even though it was a free play and that I could've denied him, I thought I could deal with it and he'd be one card down so I'd be in a stronger position. Dunno if that's right but that's what I was thinking! On the search of cuch at the beginning, I didn't want to discard the cards I had to play a mog. I was happier getting a cuch that I could use off the backup. Also I knew I could blank Zidane which turned out to be the case.

@ 15:30 - Ice has such little rebuild and hand advantage comeback, that I saw an opportunity while Dan was tapped out with 1 in hand, and knew that I'd come back faster from a both-players-tapped-out-no-cards state than he could, because of Evrae/Latte. I stand by my decision to LB Ace! The worst came true; he did have the Jill/Shiva, but I was totally confident that so long as Kurasame didn't end up generating 4-6CP (bearing in mind it generated 2 on entry by obligating my Fina else I lose 4CP!) that I'd pull ahead from the first Ace. @ 18:30 - I get not playing Armo there; from Wind's perspective I'm much more wary of a Juggler or G Deleter on 5. But in the face of Fina it looks much worse. @ 21:50 - Citra is 'immune' to Edward. You'd need to remove all 5 targets. @23:45 - "Preston doesn't feel like he's committed a lot of resources to this, but Steve has". I dunno if I agree with that; it goes back to my first comment about handsize. I felt like I could do anything from this point and always have 5 next turn. Generally I feel very favoured with Wind into Ice unless they play turn 1 & 2 Rufus and Lasswell. Honourable mention for 7CP Kurasame as well, though both Kurasames are very good in the matchup. Great work, guys, can't wait to catch up on all the games.

This is a great spot thank you. I will come out and say Taylor is a standup guy and don't think this was intentional, I think its more born out of wanting to protect his expensive sleeve that he won at an event so avoids riffle shuffling/sleeve shuffle. That being said I 100% agree his shuffling technique should be more thorough, incorporating a cut of his own before offering it to his opponent to cut and this is something we will feedback to Taylor

You are so hot on Wakka, while Tidus is just OK, for you XD Tidus will be one of the most powerful card in the set, because there is already ton of support for bouncing cards back to hand. Tidus-Tros-Leviathan - whole water-trio can trigger on opponent turn. If you play it right, from one Leviathan summon you can have 4 card draw in one whole round (your and opponent's turn) with such draw you will forget about Lenna to cast big Leviathan. Opus 19 Leviathan summon will be absolutely bonkers as it buys you the time to dig that big Leviathan.

I think you guys were super harsh on Iron Giant. One thing I always found about the LBs in fire/ice was they either didn’t do enough damage (see Zack) or just missed out on kills due to conditions (above 2 cards for Viktora or no fire backups for Vincent). 5k killing a Lasswell or Charlotte against knights for example is super potent. The card adds a real nice sweet spot of being able to nick some kills that previously this element combination really struggled with. Bonus points for it being only 3cp ,so it’s likely just a card in hand and one backup which is cheaper than most other LBs. But thanks again for the set reviews. ❤

It's not that it doesn't have utility so much as it's pretty dull and far too situational for what it does. Giga likes it because it costs 3 but honestly from a lot of our testing, we're a bit disappointed because it *doesn't* really fill much of a need. It feels like too much to kill a 2 and there's easier ways to kill a dull 7k

@@nextdimensionhobby Strong words are kind of feedback this game desperately needs. Game design becomes lazy and negligent. LB, Priming, no starters, Chaos, WitchOtF, ever-present nowadays immunity to damage are perfect examples of it. It is essential for players to demand higher quality, yet all I hear in every "review" content is "oohs and aahs" with zero reflection if it keeps game fresh instead of power creeping it endlessly.

Because it's good to keep an open mind on things. I agree that there's a huge need for bans and limits to keep the game fresh. Multi element cards imo were the worst design decision the game ever made but limiting it to the LB deck mitigates a lot of problems with both mechanics.
