Main Wits Set: Search your deck for one Elric Faction ally. Add it to your hand.

I don't understand why they gave this card strong stats. It would have been a much better card as a weak 6 command with the same effect, or maybe a slightly weaker one (top 4 cards of deck instead). This card has 3 strong points; high stats, tutoring, and card advantage. However, the stats don't mean anything if you use the effect, which is the only reason you would run this over Dog of the Military. Even if you use the effect, you are basically forfeiting the first location. Assuming you start Policeman, and assuming you run almost no 5 drops (6 drops are much better), I'll sum up its usefulness.

Weak starting allies + 1 missed ally drop + 1 forfeited location = bad

He does have some combos (Al, Martial Artist) but why bother?

Rating: 2/5 (Tutor Effect, 5 Command, Gives 1st Location Away)
