Roy Mustang, The Man Who Would Be King
11 Command Level 4
Human * Soldier * State Alchemist
9/9/9
Recruit Wits Set: Search your deck for a Military ally. Add it to your hand.

This is probably the most playable level 4... next to Ed, Godlike Power. With the level 3 Colonel, you can rush to this level 4 much faster than any other leader.

The effect isn't too great, but if you need the ally to recruit, then it might be worth it. Setting such a strong character might leave you at a disadvantage during the search phase. Usually if the game has gone on this long, you probably don't want to set Roy since you want to win that last location to win the game.

The stats are... awesome. 9/9/9 in the late game can scare most players and with 11 command... Roy can recruit just about anyone he wants (with the exception of some 11 cost allies from other factions). This gives you a range of options of how many allies you want to recruit or recruiting a big ally.

Rating: 3.5/5
The effect is ok, stats are awesome, and since it's the only level 4 out... might as well put him in your leader stack just in case.

Roy Mustang, The Man Who Would Be King
9.9.9

This is what I am talking about. This baby is The King. His stats are good and he can let you search your deck for those 11cost allies and recruit them on the same turn. Not too shabby. Too bad his effect needs you to set him which is a big downfall. Best Roy leader i have seen but still not good enough.

2.5/5
 

The Frost Alchemist

Roy Mustang, The Man Who Would be King

11 Command Military Faction

Human - Soldier - State Alchemist Level 4

9 Strength 9 Wits 9 Alchemy

"Recruit Wits Set: Search your deck for a Military ally. Add it to your hand."

Stat Wise: Well, compared to the other level 4 leaders out there, his stats look fairly balanced.

Effect Wise: After reviewing other character's level 4 leaders, this one definately isn't too bad. If you've been waiting all game for that valuable Military ally to appear in your hand, wait no more. The searching ability is great for finding those allies that are lying in wait at the bottom of your deck.

The Downside: First off, you have to set Roy in order to get this effect.
And at this late in the game, the only other heavy hitter you might have (unless you play with 9-11 cost allies) would be Veteran Alchemists. So, not being able to send Roy into the search party is a big disadvantage. Second, he's a level 4. So, unless you've got ways to get experience faster, then you won't be seeing this Mustang until almost end game. Which may or may not help you.

Final Word: Having to set Mustang to get his effect is still a pretty big downside, but at least it's a somewhat useful effect. Still, it doesn't look too bad for Mustang's first level 4. Though, if you use Master Manipulator, then there's no real need to upgrade to level 4.

I give Roy Mustang, The Man Who Would Be King a 4.5 out of 5
