Always Friendly, Silica

Description

The Always Friendly, Silica card (SAO/S100-E059) is a key character entry within the 2023 Animation Sword Art Online 10th Anniversary release for the Weiss Schwarz trading card game. This RR rarity card features Silica as an Anniversary, Avatar, and Weapon type unit, making it a versatile addition for decks built around the series' nostalgic themes. The card's design and mechanics reflect the celebratory nature of the 10th-anniversary set, offering players strategic depth through its unique abilities. Silica’s primary ability activates when she is placed on the stage from your hand. The effect allows you to look at up to X cards from the top of your deck, where X equals the number of characters your opponent currently has on the stage. You can then choose one card to add to your hand, discarding the rest to the waiting room. This ability provides dynamic card advantage that scales with the board state, encouraging aggressive playstyles or defensive adjustments depending on the match-up. Additionally, the card features a CX Combo ability. If "Hill of Memories" is in your climax area and you control four or more other Anniversary characters, you can pay the cost by discarding two cards from your hand. Upon activation, this effect deals 2 damage to your opponent and allows you to return up to two cards from their waiting room to their deck, forcing a shuffle. This powerful interaction highlights the synergy between character cards and climax cards in the Weiss Schwarz format. For collectors and players alike, the SAO/S100-E059 card represents a significant piece of the Sword Art Online franchise’s legacy. The flavor text, referencing a memorable day with a "big brother," adds emotional resonance to the character's role in the narrative. As part of the growing Weiss Schwarz catalog, this card appeals to those who appreciate both the competitive gameplay and the rich storytelling of the source material. Whether you are building a tournament-ready deck or expanding your collection of TCG cards, the Always Friendly, Silica card offers a compelling blend of thematic flavor and mechanical utility. Its presence in the Animation Sword Art Online 10th Anniversary set ensures it remains a notable item for fans of the genre and the specific card game ecosystem.
