Izumi Curtis, Feigning Defeat

Izumi is doubtlessly a strong leader. She has (arguably) the best level 2 in the game in PO'ed and strong supporting leaders of other levels. In truth, the only choice that actually needs (or even gets) to be made in Izumi's leader stack is with her level 3, for which she has two separate strong choices.

Feigning Defeat has a strong search effect, higher quick alchemy, and all around better stats, while Sensei has a universal alchemy pump and a powerful ability to destroy annoying advantages like Seven Deadly Sins or attachments like Mark of the Ouroboros. After a bit of thought, I think my choice of the two would be Sensei simply because there are many harmful advantages out there, and also a few Elric allies with 1 or 2 alchemy off of their activation costs. However, in a void, Feigning Defeat is still a strong card.

In limited, Feigning Defeat is impossible to get barring a crazy mispack, so there's no point in rating it.

Constructed: 3.75/5 (strong, but Sensei is a better option).

Hohenheim Elric, Returning Father:

Hohenheim Elric, Returning Father is a confusing preview to me.
Although it appears to be a passable level 1, it confuses me because all of the spoilers we have seen of Hohenheim leaders use Philosopher's Stones for their effects. Because of this, Returning Father seems a bit out of place in comparison.

However, its effect is decent in constructed, although very little fighting is done at level 1, and in speed draft he's good simply for his 6 command. In sealed (until Sacrifice releases that is) he's not very good because he's the only Hohenheim leader.

Constructed: 4/5 (decent for a level 1)
Sealed: 1/5
Speed Draft: 4/5
