Limit Break (FINAL FANTASY VII) Precon: Decklist, Value, and Verdict

Limit Break is a Naya equipment deck with a bit of a power-matters theme. It’s all about 7… there’s a Friends joke to be made here…. There’s some soldier payoffs, modified payoffs, and a good number of equipment or artifact payoffs. The creatures that represent Final Fantasy characters at least all support each other in some ways, even if the link is as small as the fact that you can equip Avalanche of Sector 7 with Barret, Avalanche Leader’s ability. Cid, Freeflier Pilot has no vehicles to interact with, though, but its abilities do interact with equipment.

The face commander, Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER, rewards you with card advantage and Treasure tokens for attacking with a tuned-up small army. Such RPG vibes, optimizing your party’s loadout to get the best advantages in a fight.

Tifa, Martial Artist acts as the backup commander, a melee creature that grants extra combats. I could see building around Tifa on its own with Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Captain of the Watch, Baylen, the Haymaker, and a bunch of token generators, but that’s a full rebuild project.

If I were building Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER from the ground up, there’s many equipment-focused creatures that I could include to replace most of the ones in this deck. But that feels like the beginning of an endless renovation project where you keep finding more things to fix, and this is an upgrade, not an overhaul.
