Pojo's FMA Card of the Day
|
Darktaro |
This week we
celebrate the great alchemist of the Full Metal
Alchemist world and we start with Dante,
Reclusive Herbalist. When Dante was first
released she shook the game up as being the only
level 1 leader with 8 command and 6/6/6
attributes. She has a very unique ability, being
unaligned would normally mean you would have to
pay a faction penalty for every ally with a
faction, but she gains the factions of all
allies in play so you'll only have to pay it
once. Also with it's 6/6/6 stats for a level 1
leader was massive almost guaranteeing you the
first 2-3 locations. Pre-errata she was a
perfect main phase kill deck as with good enough
luck you could drop Gluttony, Big Fist. Play 1-2
Challenge the Suns and pull it out and play it
again and get a possible OTK.
It's been awhile since she has been released, is
she still as powerful as she was back then? With
the errata in affect she does have a harder time
with main phase kill but she also has a bunch of
new unaligned allies to start. One unique start
is Outcast for some early game alchemy and a
good cancel, Katherine Elle Armstrong to stop
your opponent's Policeman and guarantee you the
first 2 locations even more, and Bluebirds to
stop mid-late game hand disruption. Dante still
seems most powerful when she has her Sins in
play, and with the addition of the Seven Deadly
Sins advantage and her ability to have
Artificial Human within playable reach, all her
allies become more and more powerful. So yes she
is defintely still if not more powerful then
when she was released. She still suffers from
the same weakness however, mid-late game she
starts to lose a lot of steam and eventually you
start to lose your ally power. So with Dante
make sure you win early.
Constructed: 4/5-Don't lose steam and you can
win very early. |
