Here, characters from the FINAL FANTASY series are depicted with a background correlating to each characters first game appearance
The Ruby cards in this deck, like its Location Agrabah, are all about being aggressive and playing into their daredevil nature
You play Lightning Bolt and Searing Spear, you avoid playing Char and you barely ever get to play any Fireball like X spell burn in cube and this is because burn in cube is best when you are high damage per mana
Either way, the format was built around the five Elder Dragons cards from 1994
While Thrilling Encore is technically a lot stronger for a little more mana, that card is a known quantity at this point, and isnt really underplayed
So many players found themselves switching to Magic the Gathering Online because of those reasons, it wasnt cheap either as you had to buy the cards anyways, but it was a least a cheaper option than playing paper magic
