But not just any hero kindred, it is the job select cards that represent Final Fantasy 14! Now let's go on a breakdown of some of the card choices:\n\nWe have a blink category. Why? Several reasons.

Teleportation circle flickers artifacts as well. A tip about Wiccan: He can flicker opponent's creatures. Gets rid of counters, meld, equipments, transformed, etc. BTW it is another reason why "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Familiar's Ruse"}},{"insert":" is in the deck, as there are still several enter the battlefield creatures. \n\nFor our ramp, we have things that make both vibranium tokens and power stone tokens, since roughly half the deck is artifacts. Not only do they help with helping to cast the artifacts, but they also can be used to activate abilities. It's a completely different form of ramp not normally seen in 5 color decks, where you're normally searching for your basic land types asap for mana fix. Most, but not all, are enter the battlefield, so they combo well with flicker spells and return to hand abilities. You might even sacrifice some to cast from the graveyard as well.

"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hidden Hideout"}},{"insert":" shines in the deck with all the +/+ slop being given. \n\nThe fantastic four in the deck was flavor. Each one individually benefits from making tokens, being aggro, making counters and drawing. All 4 on the field make an unlimited combo. Spider sense is flavorful. The Final Fantasy 14 lore explanation for being able to telegraph moves in the game is that The Light allows you to do so, just like how it does a Raven Symone flashback of events that unfolded in the game. \n\nI hope you enjoy my Leonardo the Hero deck. As Hydaelyn would say, \"hear...feel...ASSEMBLE!\" because \"Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need....\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"I NEED A HERO!!!"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
