Stats:
Freed The Brave Wanderer is a Level 4
Light/Warrior [REVIVE THE ORBS!
Wha?
Sorry, wrong game, but a delicious idea for CAC
contests]. Since he has no summoning
restrictions or requirements, being a Level 4 is
a good thing. Being a Light Monster means some
solid support and of course, meaning he can be
used for Chaos Food. Being a Warrior means it
has some solid support too. Light/Warrior
hybrids are a bit rare though: only five exist,
including this card. Freed has an ATK of 1700,
which isn’t great, but is sufficient to handle a
lot of “control” monsters as well as various
supporting ones. 1200 DEF is low enough to be a
legal target for Witch of the Black Forest, but
it could be 1500 and still qualify, so it’s not
bad, but it could be better.
Effect(s):
Freed has a useful effect, but the cost means
that it’s only for specialized decks. By simply
removing two Light Monsters from your discard,
you can nuke an opposing face-up monster whose
ATK is higher than Freed’s.
So unless your opponent has a 1700 ATK creature,
this will clear out most face-up threats.
Uses/Combinations:
Like it’s Dark
counterpart, Strike Ninja, this card works well
when combined with things like Dimension Fusion,
you can clear out your normal
Beatstick
opposition, then bring back the two creature’s
you removed. One might consider using both in
Chaos Decks-I don’t run them, and I haven’t
played any (what, it’s been busy for Pokémon
lately :-P).
Theoretically, it would help by giving more
options. For one thing, I have been working on
counters for Chaos creatures… so having
something that feeds of the same stuff might be
nice. Remember when using equips and the like
that the card text refers to the ATK of Freed,
so raising and
lowering it can really vary your options.
Ratings
Casual:
3.25/5-Not quite as useful as Strike Ninja,
though they might go together.
Tournament:
3/5-Same as above, but here we have the more
traditional Chaos decks and control and Beatdown
etc.
Limited:
2/5-You can use it to good effect, except that
there are almost no good Li9ght Creatures in the
set. Still, there are some, and you might be
able to make use of them.
Summary
A bit weak in my opinion, but it still has a
niche, and that is better than having to ban it.
;)
