Greed, Hard as Diamonds

12 Command--Rebel Faction--Level 4

Sin*Villain

10 Strength--8 Wits--0 Alchemy

"Toughness: 4

Greed cannot be defeated in an alchemy battle."


The Rundown: We continue Greed week with a look at Greed's level 4 leader.
While most of the other leaders seem to focus more on helping their allies out, Greed appears to help only himself out. Why? Well, as he would say, he's very greedy. His level 4 keeps with this tradition by having fairly impressive stats and Toughness: 4. However, he also comes with an ability that's very handy for dealing with those pesky Alchemist leaders and allies.
This Greed cannot be defeating in an Alchemy battle. So, no amount of Alchemist Showdowns will enable you to take Greed down.

The Downside: As with his other leaders, this Greed only really affects and helps himself. Other than that, the stats are pretty good for 12 command.

Final Word: 12 command, Toughness: 4, and the ability to never be defeated in an Alchemy battle: Greed definately brings on the pain when he gets to level 4.

I give Greed, Hard as Diamonds a 4.5 out of 5.

10 / 8 / 0
Effect: Toughness 4

Greed cannot be defeated in an alchemy battle.

I don't like levels 4s mainly because most of time your games will not last until that time. 2 turns getting exp + 1 turn leveling + 3 turns getting exp + 1 turn leveling + 4 turns getting exp + 1 turn leveling = 12 turns!! Now assuming u start policeman, that's 11 turns. Most decks aim to win in 5-7 turns, less if you use a rush or location control deck. So in order to make a level 4 work, you have to waste cards in your deck on exp gain.

I will say that level 4s are more playable now than back in Artificial Human, but not a lot.

So don't waste a lot of money buying level 4s. Deck it if you have it, but don't plan on using it too often.

Rating: 1/5 (Level 4, Beefy Stats)

Command: 12
Level: 4
Faction: Rebel

Strength: 10
Wits: 8
Alchemy: 0

Toughness: 4

Greed cannot be defeated in an alchemy battle.

Welcome to day 2 of Greed week! Let's get it started with Greed, Hard As Diamonds. This is his level 4, his only to be more exact. It's Toughness: 4 is KILLER, as well as his Strength: 4! Eight wits is great, other than some other Greed leader with only two wits... Anyways, he can't be defeated in an alchemy battle, GREAT since all Sin characters don't have alchemy, besides Wrath. Great command. He's also rebel. He can only defeated in Strength if the attacking character is 14. That's quite a few attachments and base strength. If your opponent CAN match your strength, play a tough hide. OMG that's + 4 to each atribute... If you're a builing a Greed deck and you're using this, (why aren't you???), your only weakness is your wits. Get cards that increase your wits, and play locations on strength + wits, or just one or the other.The best Greed level 4, and the only Greed level 4. I bet you can't guess what the next Greed is tomorrow. It's my favorite. That Greed cannot be defeated in anway.... I said enough....

Final Judgment on Greed, Hard As Diamonds:
~~~
4.9/5
Cons: Almost none except his level 3 cannot be defeated in anyway, this one can be.
Pros: Only level 4, Great Strength, Toughness: 4, high wits, rebel, 12 command, and cool art.
