Charstar

Edward Elric, Enraged
7-cost Elric Faction Ally
5/5/6

Quick Alchemy: 2

As an additional cost for Edward Elric to attack, discard one card.

First of all, before I get to my review, I would like to say thanks to the Pojo Staff for allowing me to be a part of their CotD team. And, now we are off with my first Card of the Day review: Edward Elric, Enraged.

First of all, for a 7-drop Elric faction, his stats are beyond amazing. He doesn't get restricted like the other overpowerful Elric ally (Alphonse Elric, Impenetrable Armor) and can play events.

Edward is really at his best when along side Izumi Curtis, Teacher. He becomes a six-drop, and has amazing first turn potential.

Besides as an ally for Izumi, Edward isn't too amazing. Researcher has 5 alchemy, and has the ability to cancel. This makes him a bit more tech useful. But, if your main goal is to dish out a lot of pain, Enraged is the way to go.

Oh, and don't forget, Enraged has Quick Alchemy: 2.
That's like having a 7/7/8 boomstick. =D

Sealed: 3/5 (In sealed you need all the cards you can get, but his stats cannot be beaten)
Constructed: Izumi Leader: 4/5 (A first turn Shadow is much easier with this Edward) Non-Izumi Leader: 2/5 (A bit slow, and not as techy as
Researcher)

Edward Elric, Enraged
Elric
7 Cost
Human—State Alchemist—Hero
5 / 5 / 6

Quick Alchemy: 2

As an additional cost for Edward Elric to attack, discard 1 card.

Welcome to quick week! Quick is a new mechanic from Alchemist Gate which lets you use any events of the stated type as a battle pump. For example, "Quick Alchemy: 2" is the same as: "Battle Alchemy: Discard an Alchemy event. This character gets +2 to each attribute." Quick makes your cards more versatile, and I think it is a great mechanic.

This Ed packs a punch. Only a 7 cost, and potentially a 7 / 7 / 8 in battle. That's unheard of for a 7 drop. Unfortunately, this Ed burns through your hand fast. You don't want to keep attacking with this guy, or your hand will be gone in no time. Luckily, the second effect only comes into play when Ed attacks, so if he's defending, no discard. Your opponent would have to be desperate to attack him, with 7 / 7 / 8 potential for only 1 discard.

A lot of power for a lvl2 dropper, but use his ability mainly as a deterrent. Make your opponent afraid to attack him, and he's free points toward attribute goals =).

Rating: 3/5 (Powerful Stats, Card Disadvantage)
