Pojo's FMA Card of the Day

Haven |
Lisa Hawkeye,
Calming Influence
Military
9 Command
Level 3
Human—Soldier—Hero
8 / 8 / 0
Battle Strength 10: Target defending character
gets +3 to each attribute.
Lisa's theme in the FMA TCG seems to be defense
support. Your opponent has to think hard about
attacking when they know you can give the bonus
to any defending character. +3 to all attributes
is a huge bonus. Basically, you can use her
ability to deter your opponent from attacking.
Just know that after you use her ability, your
opponent will be much more aggressive.
Lisa's stats are good for a level 3, and her
ability only costs 2 more strength than she has.
Since she's a soldier, she becomes a 9/9/0 with
Hakuro in play. I like this card, but I'm going
to have to see her level 2s in order to
determine how strong her deck build is.
Rating: 4/5 (Great Effect, Good Stats)

Today we take a
look at one of the new leaders for Full Metal
Alchemist, Liza Hawkeye. Rather then talk about
the leader itself, I'll talk about some
potential she has as a decktype, since being the
only level 3 at the moment you have no choice
but to run it. I for one have been awaiting the
Liza leader since it has been spoiled from
Alchemist Gate because it finally opens up a
hero military deck as a viable option.
The biggest obstacle to the military hero deck
was if you play Hughes, you lose Hughes
Aggressive which is quite arguably one of the
better Hughes allies. If you played Roy, not all
of his leaders were heroes so you would lose a
bit there. In addition, the lack of military
hero allies in general stopped from building a
complete build. Now with Liza you can play Roy
and Hughes hero allies in the same deck. Not
only that but with the addition of new military
hero allies such as Winry and Sheska who can
actually fight as well, rounds it out quite
nicely.
Since this is a review for Liza Hawkeye, Calming
Influence, however I probably should talk about
the card. In essence this is similar to her Full
of Advice ally, except you get a +3 to any
attribute as opposed to a +2 to strength only.
In addition, it now has a cost that is higher
than her printed attributes, but it should be
easy to get that with a few attachments and
passive pumps. In sealed, if you are lucky
enough to pull or draft her level 1's and 2's,
this level 3 leader should put you at an
advantage, as long as the game last long enough
to get to level 3.
Pros:
-+3 pump to any attribute makes it like a
built-in Out the Window
-Great attributes
-9 command doesn't make you lose any huge
military allies
Cons:
-Her ability requires you to pump up her
strength somehow
Sealed:3/5-All dependant on whether you have her
level 1's and 2's
Constructed:4/5-Go out and build that military
hero deck!

Liza Hawkeye,
Calming Influence
Liza Hawkeye seems to be quite lackluster in
comparison to what everyone anticipated in this
set:
Dual-faction leaders.
However, Hawkeye delivers some quite good
effects on her leaders, not to mention the good
stats, and this card is doing just that.
A 16-point 9 command has been done before, but
Hawkeye's 3 rounds out a good solid balanced
leader stack. Tha ability, a +3 pump to any
defending character is very nice. Attacking is
one of the worst things an opponent can do with
this Hawkeye on the field.
The ability is a bit steep, needing 2 more
strength than the leader has, But Liza sure
makes up for it.
Sealed - 5/5: If you get a 3, play it.
Constructed - 3.5/5 - There are just better
military leaders.

Liza Hawkeye
acts as Roy Mustangs assistant, secretary, and
sometimes his best-friend. She's saved his life
numerous times in the anime, to list them would
take too long. She finally gets her own leader
in the Seven Deadly Sins expansion, and today we
look at one of the least important levels of her
leader.
Level 3s are usually not the focal point of
decks. However, some leaders level 3s are well
worth leveling to. Scar, Psiren, Alphonse Elric,
etc. all have great level 3s and sometimes have
the decks built around them. Liza Hawkeye,
fortunately, is not a level 3 focused leader. It
makes her deck a good bit simpler to make,
meaning you focus on your level 1 or 2, but
going to level 3 will not hinder your deck.
In sealed, the usefulness is non-existent in
this format. In constructed its currently the
only option for a level 3, so yes, you should
run it.
Sealed 1/5: You probably won't get to level 3
here.
Constructed 5/5: Only option for level 3, so use
it.
