Haven

Izumi Curtis, PO'ed

Elric

8 Command

Level 2

Human—Hero

3 / 4 / 5

Quick Alchemy: 2

Your alchemy events and abilities cannot be canceled.

If you have this card, please sell it. Trust me, people will pay $40+ for this card easy. If someone can sell a chase Ed, Martial Artist on E-Bay for $25, I'm sure you can get much more for this. So sell it, and buy a box =).

This is so much better than Izumi's other level 2 it isn't even funny. Although her stats are low for a lvl 2, her abilities are amazing. She has "Quick Alchemy: 2" and a built in strategist effect for alchemy events. I can't believe they still gave her 8 command after giving her those 2 great effects. I guess we get lucky sometimes.

Overall, an amazing leader for Izumi. My first 5.

Rating: 5/5 (8 Command, Event Protection)
 

Charstar

Izumi Curtis, POed
Elric Faction Level 2 Leader, 8 command
Human - Hero
3/4/5
Quick Alchemy: 2
Your Alchemy events and abilites cannot be cancelled.

The final card for Quick Week is Izumi Curtis, POed.
And, geez, this is a very nice close.

First of all, Izumi is an 8 command Elric faction leader. Elric is probably the faction that needs the 8 the most. So, we get Izumi's Xe with 8 command. For an
8 command, her stats are nice, too.

Quick Alchemy: 2 is an upgrade from her level 1, which has QA: 1. Discarding one alchemy card pumps our Izumi up big. =D

The final ability on the card "Your alchemy events and abilities cannot be cancelled" is the icing on the cake. She now protects nearly everything an Elric deck does. No more fear of Daring Gambits or Lust, Artificial Human. Just go right ahead and play your Sensei's Shadows.

Izumi, POed has one extra feature that isn't printed on the card. Izumi can play Edward, Alphonse, and Tim Marcoh. Ed has a lot of decent allies, as does Alphonse, and you can play the 7-cost Marcoh to have a free non-cancellable Alchemist Showdown each turn.

Sealed: 5/5 - Izumi POed is insane if you can snag an Xe in Sealed.
Constructed: 4.5/5 Izumi is powerful powerful powerful in sealed. Good luck in finding her, though. She's the only reason Izumi is playable.

When Izumi is PO'ed she lets you know, she's not afraid of fighting, as her quick alchemy would imply, and she is pretty good at it usually. As the Sensei to Edward and Alphonse Elric, they both have learned much from Izumi, but nothing compares to the source. Izumi's wisdom is only surpassed by that of her Sensei Dante, but that’s a later story.
PO'ed is the most sought after Xe in Alchemists' Gate, going for upwards of 200 dollars on eBay. With good reason mind you, as she is very good. She essentially makes your decks plans go through without a hitch, which I think is a very nice thing, not only does it make their Daring Gambits, Edward Elric Researchers, Lust Artificial Human, and Sloth Miss Directors useless, it makes your cancels that much more potent.
In sealed, Izumi is just as easy to play as any other of the new leaders, and if you pull this one you are in good shape, since the Al starter is pretty lackluster due to his 7 command leader. In constructed, Izumi is a force, making all of your alchemy battle boosters go straight through.

Sealed: 4/5 Only if you get the Al starter and the Izumi level 1.
Constructed: 5/5 Make a deck with Alchemy, you won't regret it.
