Izumi Curtis,
One Woman Invasion
Following the tradition set by Ed and Al, Izumi
has several playable level 3s. Sensei, Feigning
Defeat, and One Woman Invasion are all superior
in certain instances, but which instances are
more important?
Analyzing them separately, you get something
like this:
Sensei:
Pros: Destroys some of the most powerful lasting
effects in the game (Raw Firepower/Lyra's
Pendant) and becomes even stronger in sacrifice
thanks to Fight on My Terms and Frozen, higher
command
Cons: Lowest stats, lowest quick.
Feigning Defeat:
Pros: Can defeat 2 or more characters, higher
stats, higher quick.
Cons: Ability is somewhat unreliable in
comparison, and is more reactive than proactive.
One Woman Invasion:
Pros: Best name (hands down), higher stats,
higher command, higher quick, permanently kills
characters once.
Cons: Ability can only be used once a turn, and
is significantly less powerful.
Obviously, they're all strong in some way, but I
strongly believe One Woman Invasion is the
weakest. Her effect simply isn't as good as the
other two. I still think the best choice is
Sensei, especially with all the powerful
advantages running around after Sacrifice.
However, the metagame is going to make a shift
that isn't completely predictable yet, so we'll
see.
In speed draft, Izumi is a decent level three
stat and command wise, so she's fine, in Sealed
I'd be shocked if this Izumi were playable, but
hey, if it can happen, it's good.
Constructed: 2.5/5
Speed Draft: 3.5/5
Sealed: 3.5/5

Fresh off the
Sacrifice Pre-Releases we are reviewing cards
that you might have seen at yours. Today's card
is Izumi Curtis, One Woman Invasion. Izumi is
one of the few leaders who has access to great
level 3 leaders all around. OWI continues that
trend by having a great effect. For the cost of
3 additional alchemy, something easily done with
Lyra's Pendant, she essentially has a built-in
Armstrong Family Gloves. She has less than
stellar stats but also has a Quick Alchemy of 2
to make up for it.
If you are running PO'd, most of the times you
may find yourself unwilling to level out of her
2nd level, but OWI can help get a little control
and slowly kill off some of their more
problematic allies. Throw a Binoculars on her
and she can ping off allies even at home.
Constructed: 4/5-Great Izumi leader if you were
to ever leave PO'd.
