A military Edward. My first thought of this card is who can recruit this before level 3. there are 3 military leaders. Roy has no real 8 command, Grand is villain so that leaves Huges. I like the idea of Edward being played with Military but I don't see this one getting that much play.

my rating casual: 4.5/5
competitive: 3/5(so sad)

Edward Elric, Hero of the People:

Although it makes sense from a mechanic viewpoint, all of the Edward Elric allies except for this one are Elric Faction. The most potent of them being Researcher, which almost seems like it should actually be a military card in many circumstances.

Well, Hero of the People may not be a free counter a turn, but it still is certainly a good card, with an ability that can prove very troublesome in the long run.

Obviously, Hero of the People is going to have a hard time being used in non-military decks with its heafty cost of 8, and Researcher floating around as well. Roy Mustang can't even play Hero of the People until level 3 as well, which essentially just leaves Hughes as Hero of the People's leader.

Hughes, which will most likely have an 8 command level 2 for the added bonus of Vato Falman, Warrant Officer, will glady welcome another powerful control card to the field. Although Ed's wits need to be pumped, Hakuro and Lab Gear both suffice nicely for that, although some Equivilent Exchange may be required.

Another powerful card, that will likely see more play as more characters with 8 command (hopefully a hero mustang) appear.

Rating: 4/5

Welcome folks! Today's card is Edward Elric, Hero of The People.

8 Cost

4 Strength
5 Wits
5 Alchemy

Main Wits 7: Target Ally may not assign to a search party this turn.

For the cost, the body is a bit overpriced. Had it been 5/6/6 it would have been a good body. The ability is nice, but without attachments, you wil be using Equivalent Exchange to get it off. It can stop a nasty ally your opponent has from fighting, but you will nedd another way to get it off the field.

So in the end, we have an overpriced body with a nest little ability. There are beter Edward ally cards out there, but this isnt a bad shoe-in.

Rating: 2.5/5

See ya on the Flip side!
