Scar, The
Weight of Duty:
The only hero Scar, despite another claiming the
name "Hero of Liore".
He's very flavorful, and very welled designed
for an Elric ally. His ability has great synergy
with most of the purpose of the Elric Faction.
He also has the powerful bonus of a search phase
set ability, which allows Elric to gain even
more of an advantage, or kill any character they
want with Badly Injured.
Izumi is obviously the best choice for The
Weight of Duty, as she's an
8 command Elric powerhouse. Ed and Al will both
find him useful as well, although Marcoh and
Hohenheim might run into some trouble if they
tried to play him. Still, the Weight of Duty is
a very good card, and deserves the high rating
it gets from me.
Ratings:
Constructed: 4.5/5
(No limited). |

Today's promo
we're looking at is Scar, The Weight of Duty.
This Elric faction Scar is an 8 cost 4/4/6
making it one of the best alchemy drops for
Elric at level 2. He gets +2 strength while you
have more cards in your hand than your opponent
which lets him use his Search Strength 6: Set
Target character with an attachment. He's also a
Hero which typically Elric and A Hero's Passing
really likes.
However outside of his large alchemy, you may be
better off running Scar, Hero of Liore. At a
5/3/5 he has slightly lower stats, but 5 alchemy
is still pretty good especially when playing
against a deck that has no alchemy. It also
gives you access to great alchemy cards such as
Quick Draw and Alchemist Showdown. Hero of Liore
also has a Quick Alchemy: 2 giving him the
potential to beat out The Weight of Duty in all
attributes. Even though Hero of Liore has a bit
of a situational ability, ie you need a Zealot
for it to do anything at all, The Weight of Duty
also has a situational ability requiring an
opponent to have an attachment in play. Plus
you're not always guaranteed you'll have the 6
strength to use Weight of Duty's effect.
Overall both are fairly good cards, but I'd have
to say the advantage goes to Hero of Liore here,
put an At the Gate on him and he gets a massive
Quick Alchemy: 4. Add that to the fact that
Weight of Duty is one of the hardest promos to
get ahold of currently, you may not have a
choice but to play Hero of Liore.
Constructed: 2/5-His 6 alchemy is all he really
has going for him and other Scar's can easily
give you a good alchemy attribute.

Scar, The Weight of Duty
8 Cost Elric
Human-Hero-Ishbalite
4/4/6
Scar gets +2 to each attribute while you have
more cards in your hand then each opponent.
Search Strength 6: Set target character with an
attachment.
This has been one of my favorite cards for Elric
when I used Izumi. Often he can be a 6/4/6 as
Elrics like to draw cards, Bluebird should
shutdown hand size hate with all the cards you
can draw. He has some very nice Alchemy weighing
in at 6 and the potential of 6 strength its even
better. He fits into the New Age Elric scheme
where he has 2 attributes he can fight in which
is great. A Search phase set usually isn't to
great, however Elrics that can survive at level
2 make use of Badly Injured, which setting
someone makes for a free character kill.
My general consensus on this guy is, if you can
run him you're running him. Hes hard to get as
to my knowledge he was only available in the
KIAC tournament series, and those went fast.
Constructed- 4/5 Hes just that good, I can't
think of a reason you're not running him if you
can. Two large stats which are pumpable by the
Elric's big pumping cards.
Sealed- Can't use him, but again as per the
three days I've said it. Use him if you can hes
a nicely sized character.

Friday - Scar,
The Weight of Duty
Well here's the end of FMA promo week here at
Pojo.com and let's take a look at the very last
of the promos with Scar, The Weight of Duty.
Scar, The Weight of Duty
8 Cost Elric
Human-Hero-Ishbalite
Scar gets +2 to each attribute while you have
more cards in your hand then each opponent.
Search Strength 6: Set target character with an
attachment.
Not a whole lot to be ecstatic about here with
this Scar except that his Set character ability
may actually come in use when dealing with
annoying attachment heavy decks. Unfortunately
that's all he has to offer. His +2 to each
attribute does wonders when you're stocking up
on the extra cards but otherwise it's something
you wouldn't happen to worry too much about when
playing against nor playing with him.
Considering for the fact that this Scar is a
Hero makes him unplayable in villain decks but
still isn't too shabby of card to include in
most level 3 leader decks. For an 8 cost Elric,
he sounds a bit too expensive for my taste.
Numbers time...
Constructed: 3.5/5. Very average at best.
Passive ability is an alright ability but in a
game where chucking cards to the discard pile is
normally a plus, makes this ability irrelevant.
The second ability of setting the characters
(which includes leaders) saves this Scar from
being considered utterly useless.
Limited: NA. Um... yeah that isn't happening.
Unless you have a completely dense judge. |
