We round off this week with a look at Pride, Fuhrer King Bradley. This is his 7 command version so let’s take a look at how it stacks up to his 8 command, Supreme Commander. Both leaders revolve around Shadows but whereas with Supreme Commander you’re more inclined to go strictly Shadow with a mix of both Homonculus and Military, Fuhrer King Bradley has the option to stick with a good mix of just Military Shadow’s and non-Shadows.

To get Fuhrer King Bradley’s ability off you need 3 Shadow allies in play. From the start of the game you can easily get 2 Shadow allies into play with Bound Soul, Hakuro Dark Ambition, or Chimera Squad so getting the third Shadow ally into play should not be a problem. Once you get all 3 down that’s where the variety can start with allies. You can run all the good 8 cost Military allies such as Vato Falman, Warrant Officer, Veteran Alchemist, Military’s Elite, Kain Fuery, Master Electrician, you can even run King Bradley, Always on Duty. On top of that you can run 9 cost Military allies as well, you can play Roy Mustang, Playing the Game or Kimbly, Master of Destruction.

A few downsides with the deck, you do lose a bit of control by not running fully Shadows, and some of your Shadow allies also lose a bit of usefulness since most of their abilities affect Shadow characters only. In particular two Shadow allies become a bit harder to play. Spotters, Forward Observers, costs one more for each non-Shadow in play, so he may become more difficult to play as the game goes on. Envy, Shadow also becomes less effective losing attributes for each non-Shadow in play.

So in comparison to a Supreme Commander deck, a Fuhrer King Bradley deck will typically be more beatstick-y and focused around aggressive battling, battle pumps and drawing with Vato, Warrant Officer and King Bradley, Always on Duty. Just make sure you have some way of dealing with Proper Training, because that will shut down your deck in a heartbeat.

Sealed: 3/5-Not bad in Sealed as there are plenty of soliders to go around.
Constructed: 4/5-A bit more setup than his 8 command, but still effective.
