Final Fantasy TCG Reveals Custom Final Fantasy X Starter Set

The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game is already teasing what's in store for next year, and Square Enix recently revealed the first set of 2022 will be a Custom Starter Set for Final Fantasy X. The Custom Starter Set is a new type of Starter Set that features a reconstructed set of 50 cards and an additional 50 cards that you can use to customize the deck to your particular strategy and playstyle. It's a change of approach compared to past starter sets, which always came with two decks, as the Custom Starter Set shifts the focus to helping players new to the game learn how to construct their own decks, which is common amongst longtime players.

The new Final Fantasy X Custom Starter Deck specializes in Wind and Water, featuring 24 Wind Element and 24 Water Element cards as well as 2 Light Element cards. There are also 24 Fire Element cards included, making it easy for players to shift to a Fire/Water or Fire/Wind focused deck, and there are 26 additional cards that allow you even more flexibility in how your custom deck plays.

Those extra cards include Fire, Wind, Water, Light, and Dark Element cards, and the set will also include exclusive cards for all three elements featuring the cast of Final Fantasy X. Because I know you are wondering, yes, that includes Wakka, who is an exclusive Water Element card.

You can find the full Custom Starter Deck breakdown below.
