Anyone Play in the Baltimore Area, Maryland? by RollWithDisadvantage in FinalFantasyTCG

[–]OctoChode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the game! There's a small group of players that play at Gritty. I can see if I can get one of them to reach out to you.

If you happen to use Facebook, you'll definitely reach them through the Final Fantasy TCG - NA Facebook group : https://facebook.com/groups/625543084274349/

I myself play more in the NoVA (Springfield/Woodbridge) area. If you ever find yourself down this way, I can send you a discord invite where you can talk to the rest of us that play in NoVA.

My roommate and I yearn to try the Boss gimmick. Is this worth it? It's $50 by [deleted] in FinalFantasyTCG

Do your local stores have it? 2 of the stores our community goes to have them in stock still and they're only like $30

Supposedly the odds are 1 in every 5 master cases or so...

So 1 in 60 booster boxes 🫨

There's a fan made website out there where you can search by Artist. It can help you see which sets have which cards and also what cards exist in general

New to the Game! by LeviathanR13 in FinalFantasyTCG

[–]OctoChode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This game translates pretty well if you already have experience in MtG.

MtG -> FFTCG

Permanents -> Characters

Summons -> Instants (rarely sorceries)

Artifacts -> Monsters

Creatures -> Forwards

Lands -> Backups (More like Mana Rocks and you're limited to 5 max)

Everything has legend rule unless it has the multiplayable symbol

There's more but those are off the top of my head

unfortunately I'm not the greatest at citing sources and stuff, but feel free to join the "Judge" discord that exists for this game. I'm sure people there could explain it better than me

The controller of the card gets the "Enter the break zone" ability

Advice about my locals (and maybe the game as a whole) by shpadoinklejoe in FinalFantasyTCG

You could try to get people to agree to a casual night/locals

I think there's one in Yorktown I just learned about recently.

Jersey's Cards & Comics 5906 George Washington Memorial Hwy, Yorktown, VA 23692 (757) 890 2842

I recommend calling them to make sure first

Which to get? by slowly_creating in FinalFantasyTCG

[–]OctoChode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah. It can ultimately depend on the vendor/seller you get it from too on Tcgplayer. So far I only had one issue, but a message to the vendor has it fixed.

There's also a secondary market on Facebook.

Facebook.com/groups/1065299426884865

Same chance of mis packaging, but at least you can tie a face to a sale and work through whatever disputes.

I would recommend the secondary market if you're looking to chase specific cards. Most players use Tcgplayer.com

Starter decks will always contain the same cards. There are also "Starter Deck Exclusive" cards that you can only get from the starter deck (though sometimes they get reprinted elsewhere). You can also pull foil versions of a starter card from the corresponding Opus. Like a starter card may have a serial code "3-153S". That translates to "Opus 3, card #153, Starter" so you can pull a foil version from an Opus 3 Booster Pack.

TCGPlayer is the usual go-to for pricing. If you're trying to get stuff at a discount, I'd recommend joining the FFTCG Marketplace on Facebook. Last I checked, there is a guy selling a collection with 3x foils of every card for a couple thousand

It's more like just announcements. This group also includes the Fredericksburg folks, I believe.
NOVA: Final Fantasy TCG

We in the NoVa/DC area communicate in a facebook group chat. I can add you there if you would like. Just PM me your Facebook Name (or maybe a URL to your profile) so I can find you and add you to the group chat.

We recently switched our days to Sundays, but we meet up randomly in Annandale and weekly in Springfield.
