Luca (CS card 007)

Luca (ルカ, Ruka) is a Mastermind-class character card from the Genso Suikoden Card Stories TCG. It is part of the Booster Pack Vol.1 and is numbered 007.

Release Information
This card was first released as card number 007 in the original Starter Box & Booster Pack Vol.1 release with artwork by Taguchi Junko. It was a Booster Pack Vol.1 card, card number 007 in that set.

It would later receive a Premium Pack version using Suikoden II character artwork from Ishikawa Fumi. Its card text and attributes are identical to the original card. That card is card number 005 of the Premium Pack expansion and card number 262 overall.

This card was later remade for Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II's To the Promised Land expansion as CS2-381/R007 with updated artwork and card text to better reflect its abilities and the changes in the game between the original Genso Suikoden Card Stories and Chapter II.

For Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II purposes, its CS2-381/R007 card text is considered an erratum to the card text listed here, regardless of if a player is using the original or remake card in their actual deck. There are no real differences between the different versions of this card in terms of play, however.

Card Text
This Mastermind card holds an ongoing, passive ability. Once per turn the player may forego their Deployment Step to instead discard any one Character card of theirs current deployed to an active (i.e., not cleared) Mission card. Choosing to do this forces the opponent to discard one card from their hand at random.

This chaotic effect has the potential to keep an opponent off-balance as you burn through both your decks. This Mastermind card holds a camp affiliation for the Royal Army.
