Greetings, Spiritomb 108 here, bringing you a new thread for once, this time about Fire Emblem Cipher.

"Spirit, what is Fire Emblem Cipher?"

Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) is a Fire Emblem-themed collectible TCG in Japan featuring a vast array of characters from the Fire Emblem series, old and new.

In Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher), two players go in a turn-based battle between their Lords (this is also known as the main character). Each deck must at least contain 50 cards (there is no upper limit otherwise) which consists of numerous different characters and the Insignia(s). (representing the different continents in the Fire Emblem universe, color coded of course. There’s no limit to the amount of insignias that can be played)

Link to the Serenes Forest wiki, where you can find a decent comprehensive how-to guide for Fire Emblem Cipher . Writing this all out was taking far too much effort for what it entailed.

"But Spirit, if Cipher is only in Japan, what does this mean for me? How can I play this?"

I'm glad you asked. You see, there's this application called LackeyCCG. Lackey allows you to play any collectible TCG if you have the right plugin. Somebody made a plugin text file to insert into Lackey, so you can play Cipher with every card up to the current set, which is Series 5. Series 6 drops September 29th, with the plugin being updated sometime after.
That this means, is that you can download Lackey, and play Cipher with all your friends.

That one text file I mentioned

How to set up

The plugin comes with seven pre-made starter decks, focusing on Red, Blue, Black, White, Green, Purple, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. But feel free to make your own decks with your favorite Fire Emblem games and characters!
