Today we go on with
another strange card, so I dub it strange card
week. Welcome to Warehouse 13!
Warehouse 13 3
Points Central City
Battle:
Strength-Wits-Alchemy
Goal: Special
The player with the
most characters in a search party during the
victory step wins the location. This location
cannot be targeted.
Well, for those who
know me this card is from my favorite episode
set so auto kudos. For those familiar with the
episode, the military makes a thorough search on
Warehouse 13 so that Kain has a safe path to
walk home at night. It scares most of Roy's
group until Roy himself leads the group on an
investigation.
Anywho what's this
have to do with the location? Basically who
makes the best use of this location. Military
has It covered, their Front Line
Soldiers(strength), their strategist(Wits) and
of course the mobile artillery the State
Alchemist(alchemy) so they already have grounds
to fight here. Any deck opposing the military
often is bested in at least 1 of the battle
types. Homoncs will fail at Alchemy a majority
of the time, Rebels lack Wits and Elrics aren't
the biggest brawn fighters. This isn't to say
there aren't times each faction can't get around
their weakness, its just we have to accept they
are there.
The ending sentence
of "This location cannot be targeted," makes for
interesting games. If the location is decided as
this and it will win someone the game, its
typical to try and move it away. Due to the last
bit of text we have, that's not going to happen.
Now Kain and
company had to convince Roy to come along, which
leads to the last reason Military can love the
location. If you've been trading blows and have
equal characters Military can bring a trump
down, Mobilization, which can bring in a few
extra characters to take the goal.
Constructed- 3/5
Solid location for a Triple Threat, more solid
if that deck happens to be a Military deck.
Sealed- 4/5 Zerging
is a bit easier as you want to constant drop,
and having the odd stat(Alchemy) gives you an
easy ride time to time, if you can stay at least
1 character ahead.
