Maes Hughes, Senior Investigator
9 command Level 3 Military
Human * Soldier * Hero
8/8/0

React wits: Redirect an action targetting one of your characters to another legal target.


I absolutely LOVE this card (and a lot of people do too :D)

The effect is absolutely wonderful and... annoying.
They try to set one of your characters... set their's instead. They try to use Intimidation on your character... send it back to them. They try to attack your weaker character... have them attack someone stronger :p So many options with this awesome and powerful effect. His stats are decent and 9 command is pretty nice since you can recruit just about any ally you want (of course with the exception of the some of the higher cost ones). With Hakuro on the field... Catch the Train is free! 9/9/0 is definitely something to be scared of AND with that ability still on the field... your opponent has their work cut out.

A few limiting factors about the card... the effect is wits (which makes sense). Since people usually run Pressures, the effect can be countered. This doesn't make the effect less powerful, but you might have to watch out for that. I think with the new level 3 Hughes coming out in the next set (the one with stealth and the react canceller), this card will see less play. This card is awesome, but compared to the new one coming out... it seems less so.

Rating: 4.5/5
I like this card a lot and it's a good card, but it might see less play.

Long live Hughes!!... Of course that statement doesn't make any sense :p

Maes Hughes, Senior Investigator

Until AHP brings us Hero of the Day this is the obvious leader choice. 8/8/0

and redirects an effect once per turn. You can move there pump to your
character, reverse the set onto them and so many other things. So play him
as the militaries controlling level 3.

4.5/5

Maes Hughes, Senior Investigator
8.8.0
LV3 leader


In the first few sets, this man was the main Lv3 Hughes leader. Because his effect is very good and he can potentially save one of your allies.

Too bad this leader is no longer than powerful. With Maes Hughes - Workaholic
who can take a search action first, and Maes Hughes - Hero of the Day who can cancel a react and attack a character at home, Senior Investigator is easily dominated. This card had his ups, abut after the new sets, hes going down.
2/5

OH NOES!!! TODAY IS FRIDAY ON "Maes hughes" WEEK!!!!! lets end with a bang here and look at Maes Hughes, Senior Investigator.

Faction: Military
Level: 3
Command: 9
Strength: 8
Wits: 8
Alchemy: 0
Ability: REACT WITS: Redirect an action targeting one of your characters to another target.
Keywords: Human, Soldier, Hero

Command and body is awesome for a Level 3. His ability is fun to toy with, cuz when they stone wall someone.... BAM, retarget one if their guys... that is fun stuff.

Rating: 3.4/5: a fun Level 3, worth a shot.

React Wits: Redirect an action targeting one of your characters to another legal target.
I think that this a good Hughes lvl 3 but not as good as Hero of the Day or Workaholic, don't get me wrong I think that Hughes is the 3rd best Leader, (2 being Psiren 'cause of Folk Hero and #1 Being Roy 'cause of Master Manipulator) but there are just too many good lvl 3 Hughes' to choose from, but I think that this one is really good against Homunculi because the Homunculi decks that I play use a lot of things along the lines of intimidation, meuger - land baron, and lust - cloaked stranger.
4/5
