Today we're looking at Alex Louis Armstrong, Expert Debater. This is a leader that many people have been waiting for ever since ALA got a leader set in Artificial Human. He's 8 command which for some people is already good enough, but on top of that he has a great effect in which he uses his strength to pay the cost for any event. One of the better things with this is it opens up all the really expensive wits and alchemy events. There are tons of them Catch the Train, Infiltration, Artificial Human, Stone Wall, Change in Plans, Sensei's Shadow, the list goes on and on. It took a long time to get him an 8 command, but it was defintely worth the wait.

Constructed: 5/5-An ability that you'd usually see on a lower command leader.
Crenshinibon Feb. 19 (Alex Louis Armstrong, Expert Debater)

Ever since Alex Louis Armstrong became a leader in Artificial Human about a year ago, his level 2 leaders have been really lacking. Up until Sacrifice, he didn't really stand much of a chance of competitive play, no matter how crazy an effect Expert Shadow has.
Expert Debater finally changes that, giving Alex the much needed 8-command, and with some nifty abilities to boot.

Obviously, 8-command is essential to military decks. With amazing allies like Veteran Alchemists, Warrant Officer, Always on Duty, and like, it's too much of a detriment not to have 8-command unless it's a Roy Mustang, Administrator deck. Armstrong's command makes that happen, and his abilities are a very nice bonus. Being able to essentially play any event is very handy, and quick strength is never a bad thing to tack on. There's not much bad to say about him except for his low wits and alchemy.

In limited Expert Debater is a great leader since he lets you play any pump. If you can somehow swing Armstrong in sealed go for it, but his real home is in speed draft, where 8-command level 2s are very, very good. Especially ones with built in pumps.

Ratings:
Constructed: 4.5/5
Sealed: 4/5
Speed Draft: 4.5/5
