Pojo's FMA Card of the Day

On the Thames:
On the Thames is, hands down, the best of the
Gate locations. It has what is probably the
single most disruptive ability on any location
in the game, and can be grabbed with a Clue on
the last turn. It fits perfectly into almost
every non-Elric deck. I have literally nothing
bad to say about On the Thames except that I
hate playing against it more than I hate playing
against Spooky Shadows (and anyone who knows me
in person should know just how much I hate
Spooky Shadows.)
In limited, it is a great location. Play it
unless you are playing Elric.
(PS, this review was brought to you with the
total absence of the key between enter and ;, so
please excuse my slightly more formal speech).
Ratings:
Constructed: 4:5
Limited: 4:5 |

"It seems in this world scientific discovery
developed along a different track. Physics and
machinery advanced instead of Alchemy" Hohenheim
Elric
Hohenheim Elric quote week continues! So at this
location, its my most hated Gate location. Its
great, but if you haven't seen it before I play
Elric, so yeah. This location should go into any
deck that doesn't feature Alchemy, sure it sets
up for an unpleasant encounter against a deck
that focuses on the opposing attribute(Strength
suffers against Wits and Wits vs Strength)
however being able to have this as the last
location against an Elric deck is great.
Everything about this location is pretty
straightforward as long as you understand how
Gate locations work.
Overall I love and hate this card, if I'm
playing my Elrics I just hope not to see it when
its 7 points to 7 points .
Constructed 4/5 Very powerful location, don't
play it if you're Elric though.
Sealed 4/5 Allows all you're characters to be
useful as usually they have one stat that'll
beat someone else's |

Today we look
at On the Thames, the alchemy deck killer. Being
Strength / Wits this location fits well into
pretty much any non-alchemy build. Of course
this card's greatest strength is it shuts down
alchemy decks. Imagine playing a Clue for the
Search to pull this location out as the last
location against an Elric deck and watch them be
helpless when they can't Change in Plans out of
it. Even against non-alchemy decks it stops a
couple of powerful 0 cost alchemy cards, Blood
and Water, Badly Injured and Spoils of War to
name a few. Defintely a great counter if you
have heavy Elric in your meta.
Constructed: 4/5-In non alchemy centered
decks.
1/5-In
alchemy decks
Sealed:3/5-Gate locations are always a
gamble in sealed. May be extremely
effective, may be very harmful.
