Two Cigarettes

Description

The Two Cigarettes Event card, designated as APO/S53-E057b, is a key component of the Weiß Schwarz trading card game released in 2018 under the Fate/Apocrypha expansion. This card is specifically designed for players building decks centered around the Saber of Red faction, requiring the absence of characters with "Shishigou" or "Saber of Red" in their names to be activated from the hand. This restriction ensures the card serves as a strategic pivot point rather than a generic resource generator. When played, Two Cigarettes allows the user to put the top two cards of their deck into the waiting room. In exchange, the player can choose a character from the waiting room with a level equal to or lower than the combined level of the discarded cards and return it directly to their hand. Climax cards are treated as level 0 for this calculation, adding flexibility to the level-matching process. This mechanic enables deck builders to recycle powerful characters that have been sent to the waiting room, maintaining board presence and resource efficiency. Collectors of the Weiß Schwarz Fate/Apocrypha set appreciate the card's distinct role in the game's lore and mechanics. The card's design reflects the intense magical battles and strategic depth characteristic of the Fate series. Whether you are a seasoned tournament player or a casual collector, the Two Cigarettes card adds depth to your deck-building options and enhances your understanding of the game's strategic landscape. The card's ability to manipulate the waiting room makes it a valuable asset in specific matchups, allowing for unexpected recoveries and plays. Its inclusion in the Fate/Apocrypha set highlights the intricate storytelling and gameplay balance that Weiß Schwarz is known for. Fans of the franchise will find this card to be a meaningful addition to their library, bridging the gap between narrative appreciation and competitive play.
