Pojo's FMA Card of the Day
|
MILLER |
Roy Mustang is
a very central character to the plot of the
Fullmetal Alchemist Anime. First of all, he is
the one who generally presides over all the
actions of Edward Elric and is, in general, his
"commanding" officer.
This Roy Mustang ally is the only cheap ally of
Roy Mustang that I don't see any use for. First
of all, his effect is Battle Alchemy 6, which
requires 2 more alchemy than his base alchemy.
Secondly, it changes the battle to a battle of
strength, and how many people can you take out
with 4 strength, the list simply consists of
those allies who have larger alchemy. The effect
is one of the worse ones in the game. His
attribute to cost ratio is great however, 6 cost
to 12 total attributes is a great 1:2 ratio,
which while ideal, is not easy to come by.
In sealed, while only being available in sealed
as a sig card in SDS, he is better than normal,
as he is a turn one drop for military. His
effect is also a little stronger there, since
there are few things that change battles in that
format. In constructed, he is straight up bad.
Sealed 4/5: Great here.
Constructed 1/5: Terrible here.

Hello all!
Sorry for my absence! But, I am back, with
another card of the day for YOU! And, this week
is Imperial's Welcome week, and we kick it off
with Roy Mustang, State Alchemist.
Roy Mustang, State Alchemist
6-cost Military Ally
Human - Soldier - State Alchemist
4/4/4
Battle Alchemy 6: Change this battle to a battle
of Strength.
Now, the idea of having a test of might built in
to a military ally sounds ideal, but when you
realize the ability costs 2 more alchemy than
this SA has, you quickly notice that there are
much better Roy Mustang cards out there.
However, if you are playing a triple threat
military deck, and you have the capacity to
splash a Lyra's Pendant or something similar on
a bigger ally, then by all means, this Roy
Mustang is decent. Actually, come to think of
it, he'd make a decent ally in a Basque Grand
deck...
Anyway, there are better Roy Mustang cards out
there.
This one is just mildly amusing.
Constructed: 2/5
Sealed: N/A
-Charstar,
the Crescent Moon Alchemist

State Alchemist, Connersville, Indiana

Today we’re
looking at one of the very first promos for the
game, Roy Mustang, State Alchemist. Does this
card stand up to the test of time? Let’s take a
look.
Being a 4/4/4 for a 6 cost are pretty decent
stats. You’ll get the same stats for ALA, Strong
and Beautiful, but you can drop Roy 1st turn
with 6 command leader. His ability is basically
a built in Test of Might that only affects his
battles, which can come in useful against
alchemy and some wits decks. Its biggest
weakness however is in the cost of this ability.
As most military decks aren’t going to be
focusing on alchemy getting that 2 extra alchemy
can be hard to come by and pitching two cards
every time you want to use his effect can be
very costly.
Since the release of this card there are better
Roy cards to use, Haunted Past is a great 5 cost
for non-villain leaders with a built-in pump and
Sarcastic is a great 5 cost with an amazing
effect. Unfortunately, I don’t think State
Alchemist stands the test of time.
Pros:
-Good stats for the cost
-Ability can disrupt many decks
Cons:
-Cost of ability is too expensive
Constructed:2/5-Not a horrible Roy, but there
are much better options out there today.
