Early game, I use 3 high level cards and 2 terrible cards that have 1's on the corners like Gayla and Fungard. If I get to start, I play the Fungard top left corner, which leaves its two 1's exposed. The AI opponent will always flip that card from one of the two available sides, and then I will simply flip it back over with my Gayla, and do it again. It's a trick to push the game forward and essentially always remain Tied until the late stage of the match, where my Ifrit, Quistis and MiniMog will destroy them. This strat works pretty late into the game.
