WOTC was not kidding when they said they this set was the best selling set of ALL time over Lord of the Rings just from pre orders alone. Ill be the first to admit I underestimated how popular Final Fantasy would be

My biggest issue with FF has always been that most of them are turn based  and a vast majority of turn based games don't click with me, with the exception of Pokémon. I'm more action-RPG oriented, so Skyrim, Darksiders, Kingdoms of Amalur, etc.

However, I think Xbox has access to all the FF games now, along with getting 7 Remake this winter, so I may have to check them out if they go on sale.

I started with FF7 and to this day, it and Legend of Dragoon, were the only turn based style games that I really enjoyed.

If you like those types of games, the FF7 Remakes are def up your alley. There is "some" turn based game play to it but its more based on strategy (ie needing to use Barrett to shoot at flying enemy). You can def just run through tho as Cloud and do all the hack-and-slashy things.

Just an FYI, Make sure you check your Local Targets. I stopped by one on my way home from hockey and this one had restocked the bundles @ 70 and Collector Boosters @ 44.99! It was limit 2 per customer so I only grabbed what I could. Im glad I did tho bc I pulled 450 worth of cards from them thanks to the Surge Foil Yuna, Grand Summoner in the one, that I think someone said they wanted wink

anyone pull a foil borderless dion or jill or clive?

Which card number you looking for? LGS near me has Foil Clive and Dion versions that have the FF number in the background. Not sure what that treatment is called but they are borderless lol

Outside of Commander cards, extended art foils don’t exist for any card, afaik.

I can confirm EA art foils of NON Commander cards do exist but only in the Bundles. I bought one and got a Foil EA Gatta and Luzza (Commander) and Freya Crescent (Main FF set)

I hope you find your Terra!

It seems Waltz is going to be hard to find as Extended foil, TCG has 0 listings as of a bit ago.

Im pretty sure that's because it will only be found in Bundles. I found out during my pre release that (as of right now) that the 2 random Extended art Legendary Creatures you get in bundles are the only way to get them in foil.

Oh shoot, for real?

Hell, that's gonna spike the price

That's what I was told by someone who is actively trying to get EA Foils from the set that aren't the surge or alt versions of the Legendaries. It's similar to what they did with Streets of the New Capenna Foil Promo packs, where that was the only place you could get foil versions of SNC Commander deck cards (Like Currency Converter or Agent's toolkit)

You might luck out, and it might not be "too" affected by price since he is only an uncommon. If you were looking for Cloud or Seph, that might be another story haha

All pulls posted, and wishlist updated.
I did get the majority of my $$ back in prerelease pricing, which is nice - including a foil yellow chocobo (Only available for trade for Terra).
Otherwise, hit me up if you see anything you need, and we'll work something out if we can. Be well, all!

The cheapest I COULD have gotten a CB was at 480 when my LGS opened pre-orders for it 6 months ago. Unfortunately for me, I didn't think FF would be as popular as it turned out so I didn't get in then. Oh well...

I updated my wishlist with the FF stuff Im after but in terms of Priority Im after:

Cloud, Midgar Mercenary
The Buster Sword
Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER
Summon: Bahmut


I'm just looking for these as base foil versions in English, so if any of these happen to become available, let me know. Id still gladly trade/buy any of the other FF stuff on my wishlist if you just sort by last modified, but these are the hits for me.

Good Luck on your Pulls!

Edit: got me a Traveling Chocobo and Summon: Knights of the round!

Oh and here I thought I was just extra special and getting special treatment lol.

I didn't even know they reached out to other people. But that does make sense.

So, a user here on DB who I traded with (https://deckbox.org/users/jondomanus) is launching a Kickstarter for a mini card sorter called Cardmill. It sounds promising, depending on the price and features, so I thought I'd share if anyone was interested. I'm not affiliated in any way, just sharing the info haha.

Oh I appreciate it, but judging by the spoilers Im at like 60 cards and counting that I will want to get a hold of haha.

I definitly know that Ill be after Cloud and Sephiroth Normal border foils at the top of my list.

But make sure you let your "village" know Id be interested to buy things as well. Hopefully you can vouch for me that Im reliable to deal with smile

There is very good chance that I may just end up buying singles because the CB boxes are just too expensive. I only ever played FF7 so I'll def be looking for cards from there, but once the whole set drops Ill get my wishlist updated. That being said, Im def willing to buy cards from people if I dont have anything you want to trade for smile

I was fortunate I didnt get any JP cards. I also didn't get any Ghostfire cards but Im not complaining when I got Dragonscale Foil Mesa and Foil Mesa in the first 2 packs lol

I ended up picking 2 Collector packs bc I didn’t really want anything from this set. That being said, I almost had a heart attack when I opened the foil Edgar showcase thinking it was serialized. I’ know someone who pulled 2 of those Avacyns and I’ll see if they will part with one. No promises tho

I have a Meandered Towershell if you are interested. Its available at the beginning of the next combat step...

I think this will only accelerate the setup of the CEDH Committee/Ban List to officially split the format into casual and competitive. We've so far past the days of EDH being the home of all the unplayable cards from Standard sets and with WOTC making cards with Commander in mind, it was a matter of time before there needed to be a line in the sand. Magic is filled with plenty of examples of format creations/shifts that it only makes sense that Commander would follow.

Yea Ive been doing my best "Wolverine Holding Picture of what he misses" Meme for the last 2 hours....

I've been fortunate in that I can't recall USPS losing any of my recent tracked packages to other traders but I have noticed recently they have decided to give my packages the "Cross country tour" where its somehow gets redirected to the other end of the country when I'm just sending to like a state or two away.

That being said, I agree with all of you. Personally, if the trade is large enough, I just pay the extra for insurance. In my experience, USPS tends to handle insured things more carefully when they are online for actual value.

I am cool with replacing something if it has indeed been lost from tracking but there needs to be a little patience and understanding from people that I don't control the Post Office and it is delayed a few days or the tracking is not updating, it's not immediately going to get replaced. It needs to be at least 12-15 Days from the day after I send it out before I even think about offering to replace it. As far as I am concerned, if tracking shows delivered, unless it's clearly in the wrong state or location, the blame should fall on the PO and the Reciever should be following up with their local PO to figure out what happened as well. It should not be solely my responsibility to try and track it down from not even close to where I live.

Don't get me wrong, I know things happen and Im more than willing more often than not to work out issues. But I need to draw a line of what is expected of me when there is nothing I can do when I've done what I can. Tracking is proof I sent the cards and they are on their way and can be planned for when they arrive.

Been waiting all week for this. Thank you Sebi!

This is a great update!

Question, if not Premium, is the default still set to the Deckbox pricing? Or is it set to TCG Market? Its greyed out for me as TCG Market but just wanted to understand what the Default is.

Thanks as Always!

Well, this was the easiest decision I've had to make in a while. Donated and plan to do more in future.

- migrated many fields to allow emoji input - chat messages, set names, comments, user bios, etc. There is no emoji picker yet on desktop, but if you select emojis on mobile or you paste them, they will work.

This right here...:D

Thanks Sebi
