Pojo's FMA Card of the Day
|
Haven |
Edward Elric,
Self Righteous
Elric
7 Cost
Human—State Alchemist—Hero
4 / 4 / 5
Edward Elric gets +2 to each attribute when
opposing a villain character in battle.
Main Wits: Discard a card: Target character
gains the "villain" keyword until end of turn.
So this guy gets beefy when he's matched up
against villains. His effect can turn any
character into a villain, and it doesn't use a
search phase.
Like all hate effects, this card is situational.
This card is great given a villain match-up, but
vs. any other deck he's pathetic. You would
think his second effect would save him, but it
doesn't. I don't care if the "top decks" are
villain based. Enraged is better than this in
terms of power, and Researcher is still king of
the Eds.
Rating: 2.5/5 (Villain Hate)

Edward Elric is
the main protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist
story. He is a heroic, brave, and caring person
and he is only in his early teens. This card
represents his extra effort to take down the bad
guys.
Self Righteous is one of the more useable Edward
allies, his most useable being Researcher. Self
Righteous works especially well in an Alphonse
Elric leader deck, as Al's level 3 gets +2 to
each attribute while opposing villains, and Ed
can make characters villains. Despite the fact
that Researcher is SO good, I can actually see
this character being used over him in a lot of
cases. A battle oriented Elric deck is not far
from fruition, Alphonse and Marcoh can hold
their own in battle already, this Ed can help
towards them fighting.
In sealed, its almost impossible to pull him,
but he would be excellent there. In constructed,
he isn't as good on the whole as Researcher, but
he IS good.
Sealed 5/5: Great for fighting.
Constructed 4/5: No researcher, but still very,
very good.

Today we look
at Edward Elric, Self-Righteous a card that is
currently only available in certain Joyride
hosted tournaments. The first question that
would come to most people’s minds is why should
I play this card over Researcher? Well this
version of Ed is one you would want to use if
you feel you need more kung-fu in your deck.
At 4/4/5 it puts it slightly lower stats than
Enraged from Alchemist Gate for the same cost
but it has the potential to be stronger than
Enraged as well. By discarding a card you can
name one card to be a villain and Ed gets a
passive +2 bonus to each stat while fighting
that character. This makes him a great candidate
for Alchemist Duel and even Challenge the Sun.
This card would fit great into an Alphonse Elric
deck when using his Level 3 Honest and Honorable
to ensure Alphonse will always get the bonus.
It’s also a great turn 1 drop with Izumi,
Teacher.
Bottom line, if your deck needs more attacking
options this is a great ally to fill that gap.
No sealed rating since the card is not available
in any set so far.
Pros:
-Possible 6/6/7 for only a 7 cost drop
-Great support for Alphonse, Honest and
Honorable and Izumi, Teacher
Cons:
-Doesn’t cancel cards like Researcher
-Discarding a card every turn can deplete your
hand size quickly
Constructed:4/5-A solid beatsticky Ed ally
