The transformation condition, when your life total drops to half or less, mirrors his journey to Mount Ordeals in FF4, providing a clever alternative to more common transform triggers
Rather than a fast-paced aggro deck, this is a slightly slower, support-focused deck filled with characters of the same type
There are already artifact creatures and enchantment creatures, but cards like Animate Artifact, Zur, Eternal Schemer, Animate Land, and Spark Rupture either add the creature type or convert the card into a creature, in effect replacing the type
Being able to attack or ally with anyone in your group makes the whole thing feel like an adventure, with the WOTC FF Party rules taking it one step further
Tap: Add R
With the addition of this as a common card, there are more rare slots to be opened up for further development while Foundations is legal, meaning more opportunities for interesting cards
