(Hakuro, General):

Hakuro has been a staple in almost every Military deck since Premier.
It's easy to see why- he has at least passable stats on his own, and gives a huge bonus to your field's stats, even at level 1.

At 5-cost, Hakuro is a common starter in most Military decks, and if not, probably a 3-of to grab with Reinforcements and recruit by the second turn. The advantage he gives is so huge he's an auto-include (I would argue even in shadows, as I don't like the 3-drop shadow Hakuro).

In sealed and speed draft, Hakuro is a different beast. He's still plenty strong if you have a military starter, but if you don't, he's pretty useless. In speed draft, he'll be an easy card to grab if he fits your strategy, and his effect will be even more amazing than it is in constructed thanks to how limited formats are even more geared towards the search phase.

Ratings:
Constructed: 4.75/5 (There are rare occasions where I might pick something
else)
Sealed: 1/5 if non-Military, 5/5 for Military.
Speed Draft: 5/5 (If and only if he fits your strategy, just don't first pick him over a level 2.)

This week is solider week! We start off with an ally from Premier that is still just as strong as he was back then, Hakuro, General. He serves a very simple purpose, all your soldier characters gain plus one strength and wits. Most decks run him in two ways at 5 cost you can start him and a 1 cost ally of your choice. Decks that want to start Policeman will usually run 3 copies of him and hope to drop him turn 1. Personally I prefer to start him as it'll help you win a lot of early locations. In addition to helping in battle, the +1 wits helps with determining the active player. Needless to say, if you're running a deck with any majority of Military solider allies, you should run this ally.

Constructed: 5/5-A definite Military staple.
