Pojo's FMA Card of the Day
|
MILLER |
"Sniper
Rifle" is a card that derives from the episode
where Frank Archer kidnaps Wrath. He and
Armstrong use the Sniper Rifle to view Wrath,
and they notice his Mark of the Ouroboros. While
the Sniper Rifle isn't fired, you can still see
why it would have the effect of being able to
attack from home, as that is what sniper rifles
are used for, far away fighting.
This "Sniper Rifle" at first seems very good,
but its uses are fairly limited. Rebel can take
advantage of this card since it boosts strength,
and after they use it they can use "Utility
Automotive" to be able to attack twice in a
search phase. Some people even like the combo of
"Utility Automotive", "Binoculars", and "Sniper
Rifle" to attack someone at home, usually a
Hakuro, Elysia Hughes, or Edward Elric
Strategist, then come in the search party and
beat up on those guys.
While this card seems advantageous in sealed,
its probably not that great. It costs 9 to equip
which usually requires some EE in that format.
In sealed, its always best to keep as many cards
as possible. If you pull it it could be useful,
but most likely, in most cases, its not a great
idea. In constructed, you can make decks that
revolve around it, however, they aren't exactly
on par with other current meta dominating decks,
but it can be fun, just don't try serious
tournaments with it just yet.
Sealed: 2.5/5-9 cost...too expensive for sealed.
Constructed: 3.5/5-The cost is easier to deal
with here, with card draw.

Once per turn, this character can declare an

Welcome to attachment week, where we review 3
new attachments from Alchemists' Gate.
Unfortunately, I can't say a lot of great things
about Sniper Rifle. The only useful purpose I
see for this (mainly because of its cost) is to
slap it on your best character so that even if
he gets sent home, he's still getting an attack
in. I hope they make a cheaper/weaker version of
this card, so it has the versatility to be used
with support characters you wouldn't normally
assign.
I might be missing something here, but I just
don't like it =(.
Rating: 2/5 (High Cost, Limited Usage)

Sniper Rifle
9-cost Weapon Attachment
+1/+0/+0
Unique
Once per turn, this character can declare an
attack from home as though he were in a search
party.
New attachment week begins with Sniper Rifle,
one of the oddest weapons around.
This rifle, which Archer used in the show to
note Wrath's Mark of the Ouroboros. In the card
game, we get to attack from home. Very similar
notions. Both are spying from far away.
But, is attacking from home such a good thing?
First of all, this attachment is unique. And is
a nine cost.
The characters you can put it on are limited to
the big beaters who you would probably rather
have for the goal, anyway. And being unique
means that you can't do this more than once per
turn, so you still have to assign, or off
someone in the main phase, in order to get rid
of someone to the graveyard.
If you have Stealth on the character in
question, maybe it is useful, but, personally, I
don't like the Sniper Rifle. Spear, Alchemic
Gun, Maes' Throwing Knives, and Cleaver/Maul are
so much better.
Sealed: 1.5/5: Ouch. You pull this you better be
ready to EE, or have some luck getting a level 3
leader.
Constructed: 2.5/5: If you put a lot of planning
into how this should work, it might be alright,
but that is a lot more planning than there needs
to be done to off someone. Keep this card safe
in your binder.
