The second one is a gift, actually. I never linked w/ it. I read in the box to that effect though. I wil have to double check, once I get home. As for CFC definitely, esp to get cards like Chizuru and Tessa. We got tired of fighting each other on VS w/ out getting any. I got 3 Tessa and 4 Chizuru-I think it took well over 500 battles to get that.
