Close Call, Silica

Description

The Close Call, Silica card, identified by the code SAO/S51-E058, is a U-rarity Character unit within the Weiß Schwarz trading card game. Released in 2017 as part of the Sword Art Online The Movie – Ordinal Scale – expansion, this card features Silica with the Avatar and Weapon subtypes. Its specific card number places it within the base checklist of the Ordinal Scale set, offering a distinct identity for collectors building out the series. In gameplay, Close Call, Silica provides two distinct auto abilities that interact with deck manipulation and hand resource management. When played from hand to the stage, the card allows the owner to look at the top card of their deck and choose to either keep it on top or move it to the waiting room. This effect offers strategic control over the top-of-deck draw, allowing players to set up future turns or discard unwanted cards efficiently. The second ability activates in combination with a CX card. When a card named Heinous Trap is placed in the climax area, the player may return Close Call, Silica to their hand to pay the cost. This trigger reveals the top card of the deck; if the revealed card is an Avatar or Net character, it is added directly to the player's hand. If the revealed card does not match these subtypes, it is returned to its original position. This mechanic rewards players who have built their deck around the Avatar and Net archetypes, providing consistent hand disruption and resource generation. Weiß Schwarz continues to be a popular collectible trading card game, with sets like Ordinal Scale maintaining relevance among fans of the Sword Art Online franchise. The Close Call, Silica card is a Character card from the 2017 Sword Art Online The Movie – Ordinal Scale – set.
