ChibiToastExplosion Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I oddly enough got signed Roys in both of my boxes a You lucky ducks, according to my tracking it doesn't look like my boxes are coming until Monday :( Signed Roy is one of my most wanted cards - if you want to part with your spare, I'd be happy to give him a home.

Kirie Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Meanwhile, my tracking information hasn't even been updated since it left Tokyo almost 2 full days ago... so impatient. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiToastExplosion Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Meanwhile, my tracking information hasn't even been updated since it left Tokyo almost 2 full days ago... so impatient. :< Consider it a blessing, honestly. It's better than knowing that someone a state right next to yours (NJ v PA) got their boxes, and yours are sitting in a hub that's literally 25 minutes away. But more like 2 days away because mail :( *EDIT* I do want to say I'm just excited, so while I'm frustrated I am genuinely happy for everyone who got their cards! I hope everyone gets what they want. Also, there may be some hope because apparently EMS delivers 7 days a week? If that's the case, then tomorrow may be a pretty good day. I'm still holding out hope, LOL Edited June 25, 2016 by ChibiToastExplosion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dv_US Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 EMS may deliver 7 days a week, but USPS only delivers 6 days a week and the mailman just left my house ;-; Meanwhile, my tracking information hasn't even been updated since it left Tokyo almost 2 full days ago... so impatient. :< Give me another day and I'll be in the same boat as you.

Mallow Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Got really lucky; the postman arrived about 15 minutes before I woke up this morning, and the notice he left said I wouldn't be able to pick up the package until Monday. Then he showed back up about 30 minutes after I actually woke up since he had to loop back now that my apartment complex's office was open, and I got my cards today after all. :') It's the little things.

Aquantis Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 looks like as suspected, the R+X card does indeed take the place of your + card. on the upside, the change to how many of each rarity in a pack and box does help (as mentioned before, 3 HN instead of 2/pack and now 4 SRs, 15 Rs and 1Plus card in every box). I also like that they put the promo cards in packs of 2, so you don't need to get a lot of boxes to get all 4 cards (Mars/Xander and Sigurd/Chrom).

Katie Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Why is Merlinus so terrible? Is he meant to be a joke card or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardin Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Basically yes. Since series 2 there has been one promo card for a less desirable character in each set (Bantu, Oliver, Matthis, and now Merlinus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since series 2 there has been one promo card for a less desirable character in each set (Bantu, Oliver, Matthis, and now Merlinus). To be fair though, as a collector Bantu was awesome. With a little imagination his card art is like a generic enemy 'kete and is personally one of my fave reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since series 2 there has been one promo card for a less desirable character in each set (Bantu, Oliver, Matthis, and now Merlinus). I suppose, but Bantu, Oliver, and Matthis at least have niches(and Oliver isn't even that bad tbh), the only good thing about Merlinus is hid "time to witthdraw" skill, and that's mitigated by his terrible stats and awful "non-combatant" skill. He's also the only one without a skill that relates to another character. Merlinus is by far the worst one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dv_US Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Release day finally came today! :D Will be making/updating my trade/sell post momentarily with Series 5. Too excited/afraid to see what I pull/don't pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Merlinus is good, he will never die and can block if you're trying to hide MC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvillo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Oliver is genuinely bad and should never see play ever, Merlinus is quite nice. There's really no reason for Oliver to get -10 on his base attack, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiToastExplosion Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If you would believe my luck, I got BOTH the Roy SR and SR+ in my two boxes, along with Eliwood! It's been an amazing day for house Pherae :D I don't care if Roy is terrible, his cards are the absolute best <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Oliver is genuinely bad and should never see play ever, Merlinus is quite nice. There's really no reason for Oliver to get -10 on his base attack, man. But he buffs Reyson and Leanne. Of course, I've never played Cipher, so I have no idea what the metagame is like. Reyson and Leanna could be shit too for all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Random question for anyone who knows, since I can't seem to find it for myself anywhere... but who actually signed Narcian's card? It's not like he has a voice actor or anything. I'm guessing it's his card's artist, Koutarou Yamada, since that makes sense and the signature even looks like it has "KY" initials, I'm just not positive and can't seem to confirm it anywhere.

Wait... The SR+ are signed for Jun Fukuyama and Natsuko Kuwatani? Edit: And yeah, the Serenes news in the Index confirmed that it's the Koutarou's signature.

ChibiToastExplosion Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The fact that Roy's + is signed by Jun means I can die a happy man <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
