We get that a lot. It’s not widely marketed but alive! It’s never too late to start. It’s so much fun and comparatively affordable.

As mentioned, yea, that’s a pretty common meme for FFTCG. Happy to have you here! If you’re familiar with MTG, this is come pretty easy to you. Hope you find something you enjoy whether it’s collecting or playing! ~Ryan

Welcome to the family! ~Ryan

Amazing to hear that we have new people coming to the game! ~Ryan

Eheh... Same

Welcome to the jungle! I started with an ebay lot of 3000 commons and rares.. i now have over 50k and my wife thinks i have a problem. ~Ryan

Nope it’s honestly really good, but it’s more of a “Starter Deck” with a few solid reprints rather than a full on “bang for your buck” type of product. Still a solid purchase, but probably not for your first purchase in my opinion. ~Ryan

Very true! These are very common questions we see. We’ve been wanting to make some more intermediate videos talking about how the stack functions and how confusing these interactions can be. ~Ryan

You can in fact amat the discard trigger no?

@@Steven_Yuki no you can not cast in the end phase laswell just goes on the stack you do not get a priority window

Ah gotcha thankyou, I was reading the CR and both players do in fact get priority, but since you aren't allowed to cast summons, nor action/special abilities, what's the usage case of the priorities then?

For the two player starters: if you're fans of FF7, there's two that fit that bill. The Avalanche and Turks one is the newer of the two. The Cloud and Sephiroth one may be older, but man I'm partial to the cloud in there .. it's a fun 'combo' card that really gets the brain going. Villains vs Heroes / Wraith vs Knight are both fairly outdated at this point, but an optimist would argue that it may be perfect for that same reason. Will get you familiar with the mechanics of the game without throwing some gimmick at you. Personally not a fan of these. FFXIV Shadowbringers has a really steep price tag on it if you're in NA .. unless you just have to have that one, I would choose something else, simply because it's so expensive. Cecil and Golbez is rather fun. The light Cecil in there has some fun things it can do. The Golbez side is okay, but the Cecil side was definitely my favorite side. This would be a get it if you like FF4, pass if you don't. Then we have Noctis and Ardyn. Probably my favorite two player set, but I'm super partial to the retainers. They're super fun to play, right out of the box. Doesn't need much upgrading but can definitely be personalized. The Ardyn side is not nearly as fun to play with, but it's still a solid deck to start with. Personally, this is my pick. For the anniversary kits: You for sure can split one amongst the two player sets. The best part about those starts is that they typically don't cross elements at all. So if you split them, you could easily just take the Earth and Wind cards for the Noctis deck and then the Lightning and Fire cards for the Ardyn deck! Highly recommend splitting it to get your feet wet. ~Ryan
