London in Flames:

Another powerful gate location. Really, all of them are pretty good.
It is very hard to say bad thigns about them. London in Flames can be really useful for Zealot and Rebel decks, and has a lot of potential.
The location itself is not bad at all, it is just the weakness of certain archetypes at the moment.

Again, it is a great location in sacrifice limited. No complaints.

London In Flames 2 Clue Points
Battle: Strength/Alchemy
Goal: Strength +3

Events and abilities that provide a bonus to strength provide an additional +1 strength.

"Edward, quick! It's an air raid!" Hohenheim Elric


We end Hohenheim quote week with London in Flames. The location provides a go at Strength and Alchemy, a Scar/Claire deck could make use out of this attacking in two pretty nice attributes. This does however give Elrics a little lead way in being able to defend with their high Alchemy. However if the Strength attacker/defender has the strength pumps to throw with, its dangerous. The +1s being +2s and the +2s to +3s and so on. However the Elrics may be able to catch up using their alchemy pumps. This location suffers as much eating a become battle of event/ability/advantage to kill off who wins.

Overall this location is pretty powerful, with drawbacks.

Constructed: 3/5 Nice pairing of attributes to use in a Rebel deck.
Sealed: 2/5 The alchemy you get MAY or may not be enough to overcome opposing strength.

Today we look at the last gate location, London in Flames. Where the first two cards we looked at this week seemed to fit well into Elric and Homonculus decks respectively, today's card fits very well into Rebel decks. It is a Strength/Alchemy battle type two attributes that Rebels aren't lacking in. The location's effect also gives an additional +1 bonus to strength when you give a strength boost, and last time I heard pumps and Rebels was a pretty good combo. That should help out boost Elrics in Alchemy which would probably be the biggest threat at this location. Elrics can find use out of this location, just beware of those Rebel decks. Homonculus doesn't have the best strength or alchemy so they probably want to stay away. Military, depending on your deck build, could take advantage of this location as well. All in all another decent location for a specific deck type.
 
Constructed: 4/5-For Rebel and Military with pumps
2/5-Everywhere else
Sealed: 3/5-Sometimes you won't have a choice whether or not to use this.
