Kain Fuery, Master Sergeant

For such a neat character, Kain Fuery sure didn't get enough cards for awhile. Master Sergeant was the first Kain, and I think still probably the best, though he now has some competition.

Although is admittedly sees much less play now, Pensioner, Veteran of the Ishbal Massacure is still a threat to Military, who relies very heavily on their 8-command for allies like Veteran Alchemists, State Alchemists, and Vato Falman, Warrant Officer. Master Sergeant allows you to regain the necessary command against Pensioner (or similar cards like Roy Mustang, Administrator), and also can allow you to have more command to help draw with King Bradley, Always on Duty.

Master Sergeant's largest threat to his playability comes from the powerful Kain Fuery, Superstitious. Superstitious has a huge pump and decent stats with the Hakuro pump, and is a hero to boot. Although he is strong, I think the added command- and the solid 7-drop ally, is better.

In sealed, Master Sergeant can be played by any deck with an 8-command, and has relativly decent stats, so he is a decent ally at worst, and a moderatly good one at best. in speed draft it would be possible to (theoretically) build a deck around him and an 8-command level 2, but it doesn't really make any sense to me.

Ratings:
Constructed: 3.75/5 (although there are no better options, he's not quite a
4.)
Sealed: 3.5/5
Speed Draft: 3/5 (more options available.)

Today we take a look at Kain Fuery Master Sergeant. It's a 7 cost ally with 5/5/0. Though of course if you are playing him you probably aren't too concerned with his stats. His ability is where he shines, adding an additional command for your leader to recruit with. This Kain fits only in certain decks in my opinion. One of the best decks I can see it in is actually in a Dante Military deck. You can drop Kain while he's still out of faction and give Dante 9 command to work with. Also of course if you are running a 7 command leader, this Kain opens the door for Vato, King Bradley, State Alchemist, and all the other beefy 8 cost military allies. If you're running more of a battle deck however, I'd stick with Kain Superstitious.

Constructed: 3/5-More Kain options out nowadays has hurt it's overall playability.
