The Frost Alchemist

 

Frank Archer, Self-serving Soldier
4 Cost—Homunculus Faction
Human*Soldier*Villain
3 Strength—5 Wits--0 Alchemy

"Battle Wits: Target Military or Homunculus character gets +1 to each attribute.

Battle Wits: Target Military or Homunculus character gets -1 to each attribute."


The Rundown: Frank Archer week continues with an ally this time.
Self-serving Soldier is actually very cool in the fact that he has two
different effects that can be used, kinda like Armstrong, Strong and
Beautiful. With these effects, he can give himself or another character
(assuming it's Military or Homunculus) +1 to each attribute and give the
Homunculus or Military character you're fighting -1 to each attribute. In
essence, that should get you 2 up on whatever character you're fighting
against, which is pretty good.

The Downside: It's painfully obvious: his ability only affects Military and
Homunculus characters. So, if you're fighting against Rebel or Elric, he's
not going to be quite as useful. Good thing he doesn't cost a lot.

Final Word: While his effect is a little limiting, it could be worse. And
besides, most of the top tier decks are Military and Homunculus (from what
I've seen), so you shouldn't have too much of a problem getting the most out
of this ally.

I give Frank Archer, Self-serving Soldier a 3.5 out of 5.

Hey look it's Foolish Pawns =P. Well not quite, but still good. This thing wins battles and it's definitely good in any kind of draft format. I would say Foolish Pawns is better, but this is a common and Pawns is a rare.

Rating: 3/5 (Pump Abilities, Common)
