Pojo's FMA Card of the Day
|
Darktaro |
This week we
are looking at some of the newest leaders fresh
from Seven Deadly Sins! Today is Basque Grand,
Army of One. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen
some love for good ol’ Basque Grand. This is a
new level 1 leader with 6 command and at 4/2/1
it has decent strength for a 6 command to win an
early strength location. It has a great effect
which effectively gives you 9 command for
attachments. Obviously this card works best with
Basque Grand, Tucker’s Patron as your level 2
leader.
Since this type of deck tends to run all high
cost attachments, Army of One, provides a way to
get some of them down from turn one. Even
outside of Tucker’s Patron, it gives you more
command for attachments than either his 7 or 8
command. I would say Army of One finally makes
Basque Grand a viable leader, just make sure to
pack a few repair jobs in there.
Pros:
-Has good strength attribute for a 6 command
-Let’s you run almost any attachment from turn
one
Cons:
-Really needs Tucker’s Patron as a good follow
up level 2 leader.
Sealed:1/5-Without the other Basque Grand
leaders, he is useless.
Constructed:4/5-Good solid leader for Basque
Grand.

Basque Grand,
An Army of One.
Wow... First thing I see is a six-command
alchemist with a 4 attribute. Next is the
incredible ability, letting Basque drop down any
huge attachment for nothing at all. AND he has
the whole six command thing. xD
Then send off your Army of One to crush people.
=D As a 4 STR military character, this Basque
should make quick work of any fight he is
involved in.
This Basque level one is just amazing.
I'll rate him 4.5/5.

Basque Grand is
quite possibly the most sinister person on the
FMA show. His reason's for being evil seem to
be, simply the pleasure of being so. He was in
on the whole Shadow storyline, meaning the
pursuit of the philosopher's stone behind closed
doors and using any means necessary.
This Basque Grand, rightfully named Army of One,
is quite ridiculous. Its got a greatly
overpowered 4 strength, low 2 wits, and a sad 1
alchemy. His effect is a bit ridiculous, but
goes with Grand's attachment heavy theme. He can
equip 9 cost attachments on turn 1. Which means
a 1 discard Armstrong Family Gloves, giving him
7 strength at level 1. This card WILL see play,
mark my words. The only clear downside to this
card is the amount of discard hate that is
constantly introduced into the meta. This set
saw 2 rather good allies that destroy
attachments, we already had Aflame, and the list
will continue to grow as the sets go on.
In sealed, if you can somehow pull a level 2
Basque, it won't happen though, by all means
play this guy. In constructed, there may as well
not be any other level 1 Grands, this one is
THAT good.
Sealed 1/5: Lack of a level 2 in this format
limits him.
Constructed 5/5: You use Basque Grand? You use
this guy.
