Dark Confidant Rating: 7/10 Dark Confidant is one of my favorite cards in the game, and Ive played it in a bunch of formats
We can see this type of story through mechanics plainly on the Final Fantasy cards
The Ruby/Steel deck uses two strong ink colors and has a fun theme that rewards players who are up for a scrap
Combat tricks that reduce the Strength of your opponent's character, like Fang Crossbow and Painting the Roses, may seem low impact, but t his deck relies on trading efficiently, as well as healing with cards like Gumbo Pot, to keep your characters and control the board
Azurite Sea enchanteds instead lean heavily into the pirate/seafaring theming of the expansion, with characters, actions, items an locations reimagined against a cartographic background, bearing minamilistic drawings very reminicent of bare sketches
