Pojo's FMA Card of the Day

Edward Elric,
Supporting Presence:
Because I've been choosing a lot of the cards to
review lately (yes, you can blame me), we seem
to have run out of most of the playable quick
alchemy characters. Ed is good- don't get me
wrong, but he's not really within the same thing
Quick Alchemy usually occupies. That said,
Supporting Prescence has uses in a few
constructed decks.
Rebel hero decks, and Zealot decks both make
great use of Ed, although his quick isn't very
prominant. Ed is the second best zealot one drop
(number one being Bodyguard), but he's still
playable and can be quite a beatstick.
In limited, play him. He gets bigger, has quick
alchemy, and has alchemy at all, making him a
limited staple.
Ratings:
Constructed: 3.5/5
Limited: 4/5 |

Last card for
this week is Edward Elric, Supporting Presence.
5 cost=Good, +1 to each attribute while Rose in
play=Good in Zealot decks, Quick Alchemy of
2=Good for those first locations. Having to play
a Zealot deck=bad, exists only for his
stats=bad.
Supporting Presence is not a bad card per se,
it's just very limited in it's functionality. In
regular Elric decks he fails as a beatstick as
Researcher is also a first turn drop with 5
alchemy off the bat. In Zealot Rose decks he's
ok, but figuring you'll be fighting on either
Strength of Alchemy 5 and 4 respectively won't
last in the long run even with his Quick of 2.
And his 5 cost means it's a two EE to put At the
Gate on him, Quick Alchemy's best friend.
There are better Ed's out there with similiar
costs and attributes, but can provide much more
tech depending on your meta. (Researcher for
heavy targetting meta, Strategist for a heavy
cancel meta, etc.)
Constructed: 2/5-I'm not that big of a fan of
allies who exist only for their attributes.
Especially when it's not that huge of a
beatstick.
Sealed: 3/5-Better especially if you have Rose
for a leader. |
