Pojo's FMA Card of the Day

Black Hayate,
Mascot
The real dog of the military. As a card it won't
see much play, although a great card when at my
B&W pre-release. So the dog can exchange itself
to reset an character at home then put it in the
search. It can help if you have search party
setting abilities like challenge the sun. Its
also good for a tech against homunculus tap-out.
So if needed it can be quite helpful.
2/5

Black Hayate
The first time I saw this card, I thought it was
semi decent. He is not somebody you would want
to start off with, because I feel he is a wasted
starter. His effect probably wont be used until
later in the game.His effect is very
situational, and unless you have card effects
that set your own characters, or if your going
against lust, his effect is useless. even though
it is good against Lust, you never want to play
with a card that only stops one deck. Cards like
Automotive and the new advantage, Lead by
Example, is a lot better than Black Hayate. I
really hope i do not see much of this card when
i am playing someone competitively.

Black Hayate-
To those of you that don't know me, I will in
form you that Black Hayate is my favorite card.
Not only is the mechanic decent, but it's also
black hayate, and who doesn't like black hayate?!
Now, for actually reveiwing the card. Black
hayate comes in handy for
3 main things:
1- A solid starting ally
2- A combo engine for cards like Challenge the
Sun or Persuasion
3- A way to counter send home actions and bring
a powerful character back into the fight. Or,
alternativly, bringsomeone into the fight at the
last second.
I'll review these individually, starting with
the weakest.
Black hayate is, although I hate to admit it,
not the best starting ally choice. All of the
military leaders, although they love CtS, have
better starting lineups. Roy and Basque have
Lyra, Policeman, and Vato, while hughes starts
Hakuro and the Baby with their six command
versions.
With 5 command versions, they still typically
include vato and policeman leaving only one
command open. Black hayate can theoretically
suppliment lyra or vato, but I don't see any
reason for it, as much as I think black hayate
is amazing.
As a combo engine, Black Hayate functions well
in almost any deck.
Scar can especially use the help, taking out 2
characters a turn with Alchemist Hunter. CtS is
also useful this way. Black hayate can also get
around the added costs of Persuasion and Dirty
Tricks, which are both even more powerful cards.
Although it does use up a search action, I
typically find black hayate very useful in the
long run this way.
The last way is probably the most obvious and
simplistic. Black Hayate will be targeted early
on to avoid this, or it will just be similar to
Automobile. Either way, it still works well for
its cost.
Overall, I have to give black hayate a lower
rating, after all, there are more powerful
cards, just not ones that make your opponent
tremble in terror when you reveal your deck to
be backed in them.
Rating: 3.5/5
