Future Card Buddyfight: New Era Great Spell, The Creation

Wow it has been over a year since I last updated this blog. At that time, I really got into a new card game Future Card Buddyfight. Good timing too, because I was getting sick of the constant power creep of Vanguard, buts that's a topic for another day.

My locals of maybe 6 sees the new cards from the set Miracle Impack. They know that I'm trying to build Wizards and suggested this one.

"Dude you'll get more gauge AND life!"

"Come on, Wizards draw like crazy, so why not use this?"

Well I did some testing on Buddyfight Area, and I...have a few problems with this card.

1. It isn't a Spell
That may seem such a minor thing, but it IS important. Due to the fact that it is not a Spell, you cannot search it with Mary Sue.

Goddamn it, why are you always creepy?

Which means you have to put 3 or 4 of The Creation in the deck to consistently see it. Well that shouldn't be a problem right?

2. What the hell is deck space?
Another issue is that the deck already has a ton of good cards to choose from. From the top of my head, the confirmed stables (in my eyes) include.

4x Magical Goodbye
4x Nice One!
4x Chillax/Solomon's Shield
4x Magic Artist Andy
3-4 x Dragowizard, Tempest Dragon

Okay that's only 19 or 20 cards out of a 50 card deck. Surely we can find room in the deck right?

Not really, because the deck tends to run about 11-13 Size 1s, 8-11 Size 2s, and the Tempests.  In short the average Wizards will run around 22-24 Monsters, but that is not taking account for this little guy.

It's cute AND a Size 0. What more could you ask?

Okay let's put this little guy into our current deck...I say 4 because a Size 0 monster is nice to have. Now at lowest, this will put the deck to 26 MONSTERS. This is before we add the 12 stable spells too. Once you add them together, we're already at 38 cards.

And there are a ton of good Spells and Items as well such as:
Kosher
Great Spell, My Grandfather Clock
Key of Solomon 1st and 2nd volume
Abra Cadabra
Gunrod Bechstein
Magic Arm, Burning Fist

and a whole ton of interesting tech choices like Power Ray Maximum or Begone or Oops!

"okay," you said "but I managed to find space for it."

If you did, then congratulations. No really, I tried to think of a way to put this card in the deck without upsetting the balance already. However you will run into a potential problem.

3. What the hell will I do with all this Gauge?!
This seems like such a minor complaint, but it is possible to run into the problem. You can actually find yourself having TOO much gauge.

Theoretically Wizards should NOT have to worry about using too much gauge. We have access to Kosher for starters, we got Andy and Genjuro Saki  to help preserve our Gauge. Most of our spells costs 1 gauge, 2 at most.

Now this card isn't bad per se. For starters, it's a "Wizard" card as well, so you can use it to fuel for Grandfather Clock. Plus being an Impact card means you won't have to worry about getting it nullified by spell nulls or something like Cecelia's Disarm Spell.

Then again it really is up to the player if they want to use that card. I simply want to put my 2 cents in. As Yusei Fudo from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds once said:

"There is no such thing as a useless card."
