Final Fantasy TCG: Beginner's Guide to Archetypes and Playstyles

[@nahumflores6280]

Great video! I could never get a good answer about midrange and tempo but now I understand.

[@TheEorzeanArchives]

Fantastic video! I am just getting into the FFTCG as a hobby and this was the exact resource I was looking for.

[@YunaYoungTeam]

I'm so glad it was useful! Proud I made something quite futureproof that I still agree with the fundamentals of, more than a year on. :P

Same coming from yugioh

Brilliant video. As a new player to the game, it really helps to understand the various play styles and what they mean. Great content as always. Thanks!

[@lcrow8675]

great video! I appreciate what you've been doing here as a new player with background in other games. It would be great if you did a general Meta video where you talked about the matchups of the top decks against each other- you mentioned that currently there's a triangle between ice/wind storm, midrange sophie, and samurais. I'd like to hear more about that and maybe highlighting some top tech choices if you're facing heavy storm or heavy sams etc. My favorite part of the deck techs are always these kinds of insights, so a more focused video where you could talk about the meta in general would work great, IMO! It could be a Meta recap as each set winds down or a mid opus check-in as the top decks start to settle, etc. Thanks again!

I intend to put together a kind of Opus 13 retrospective, and include my impressions of the 'Tiers' of deck. Hopefully that'll help, and I'll try to tailor the content towards the kind of scenarios you asked for. :D

[@YunaYoungTeam]

@Chosen One There's huge attendances at every major event, a full world championship season planned for 2023, and every set since the pandemic has sold out. They can't print enough!

[@YunaYoungTeam]

@Chosen One Hugely popular, with big plans for a World Championships in 2023.

[@SleepTalkRest]

Fantastic video. This is applicable to MtG as much as it is FFTCG. Will use this video for anyone that asks about deck archetypes in any TCG from now on.

[@YunaYoungTeam]

Really appreciate it! I was quite proud of how timeless I thought the video was when I first recorded it. :P

[@riddic4444444]

you're a good person for doing this.

[@tsundre]

I love the info graphic where uts all interconnectef

[@YunaYoungTeam]

I'm the Vincent van Gogh of MS Paint. Hope it gets the point across, though!

[@tomreah3402]

Thanks for this video! Me and my brother are just learning and the game seems very fun with some super cheap decks to get started with. What cards do you recommend as replacement for banned cards like Miounne and Althea?

[@skurai]

Good stuff thank you

[@andreaspersson4823]

This was a great video! Will try to put together some budget versions of some of these decks :)

[@YunaYoungTeam]

Glad to hear it! Always happy to try and supply other decklists, or budget versions of non-budget decks. Drop us a comment here, or on Facebook, any time.

Amazing video. I'm teaching my gf the game. What's a good deck to help teach the basics and about card economy?

[@YunaYoungTeam]

Glad you enjoyed it! I think that Fire/Ice FF6 and Mono Ice are excellent lessons in card economy - nothing quite like discard decks and the threat of Cid Aulstynes to make you appreciate the value of every card in hand. Same goes for Mono Water; in my experiences, new players love the feeling of Leila-Viking, but then start overvaluing drawing cards, so block every hit that comes their way, then wonder why they can't deal 7 points of damage. Always fun to use those decks to teach efficiency and logic lessons. Probably the best competitive deck as of the end of Opus 13 for card economy reasons is Samurais. Lots of draw, but also some 'bad' matchups become more winnable if you give up on your card advantage engines and go aggro with Magissa. Great for teaching scalability and decks having two 'modes'.

[@lolo6089]

@@YunaYoungTeam And i actually have a huge chunk of fire/ice ff6 and mono ice. Thanks for the reply and great information. I do hope yall expand on the beginner's guide series, it'll be a huge help to all new players, especially since yall are the one channel that posts fftcg videos daily and are extremely knowledgeable. Keep up the great work, guys. A big thumbs up from texas.

[@theniteowl7777]

so which type of deck is Li/Wa FFT Knights?

[@YunaYoungTeam]

I think it's mostly going to come under Midrange. The core card of Agrias is just so above average and solves problems against everything in the format. The more heavily you lean into Damage 5 antics with Ramza (and 3CP Ovelia), you kind of teake on elements of Combo.

[@whitleylevi]

Haha Pavlov at the end. Got damn

[@YunaYoungTeam]

The true villain of the Boss Deck.

[@andrewmacdonald1794]

I want to make this my main tcg but i live in ma soo yeah i have to stay with mtg and pokemon the most popular choices

[@YunaYoungTeam]

I would thoroughly recommend it nonetheless, it's the most skilled and entertaining TCG I've played out of 30+. There's a great online community on Discord, OCTGN and Untap, and lots of ways to play webcam games too. I know of other people who live hours away from physical opponents, but still get a *lot* out of the game through collecting and going to major events. The atmosphere is unbeatable.

[@buckbumbleenjoyer]

I have come to the conclusion that this game is the result of an orgy with the participants being yugioh, MTG and pokemon while also being sponsored by square enix. In the biggest similarity being that none of the players of any of the games (especially yugioh) know how to read

[@tsundre]

I don't think you've ever done a deckbuilding tutorial.. ;)

[@YunaYoungTeam]

I'll see what I can do, maybe a sequel to this, trying to tie the rules I follow when deckbuilding back to the concepts in this video.
