The
Philosopher's Stone:
The Philosopher's Stone is the oldest and, in my
opinion, best stone in the game. It easily has
the most potent ability of any of the pump
stones, and it has the best cost for early game
play. It will stay around longer, actually be
used, and generally just be good. There's very
little bad to say about the Philosopher's Stone.
Limited is interesting. Assuming you are only
playing in a format that allows a mere one set
(yes, I really don't think that many people play
limited outside of Quick Alchemy and Prereleases
these days), there are no Stone events, just a
minor pump. However, minor pumps are decent, and
can really add up in limited. So I'd probably
play it just because it'll always stick around
and be helpful.
Ratings:
Constructed: 4/5
Limited: 4/5 |

The
Philosopher's Stone 3 Stone
Battle Alchemy: This character gets +1 to any
attribute.
Stone week goes on! This is my double stone in
my HHH deck, simple cost to pay of 3, and dandy
effect. A quick boost to any attribute can make
or break a battle, it can tie you or even put
you ahead in some cases. The ability to pay for
up to three stone attribute cost events is nice,
3 uses of Pro Father's ability is a good thing.
The only real advantage here is the amount of
events you can play off it. Red Stone's ability
is virtually dead after the first use as the
next will burn it w/o a stone cleaner. Anyway
theres not a whole lot to say about the stones
themselves but its ok.
Constructed: 4/5 Easy to play and a so-so effect
Sealed: 4/5 Harder to play but potent effect. |

Here are once again with Stone week here at
Pojo's FMA site. Let's take a look at card
number two, a stone event from Seven Deadly
Sins, the card that started it all... "The
Philosopher's Stone".
3 Point Stone Event
Battle Alchemy: Target character
gets +1 to any attribute.
Ok for an advantage like effect... This card is
not too bad. 3 Point card, and has an activated
ability to give ANY character a +1 to any
attribute. The stone will give you three points
for you to use on abilities... AND you get a
cheap pump out of it as well. Not too bad still.
Let's take a look at the numbers.
Constructed: 4/5. Keep Momentum and other bonus
generating effects handy.
Limited: 3.5/5. If you can get three points, use
this card... If you don't think you can get
three points... and this card is looking
directly at you from the pack... PULL it and
save it for later. Don't let this one go by.

*Philosopher's
Stone
*The original stone card, from back when we
didn't know what the heck they were good for.
This one is essentially one level up from Red
Tincture and Arguably one level down from Bright
Jewel. I like the fact that it's a versatile, if
small, all around battle pump...I may even like
it more than Jewel because A) It's cheaper, B)
You can give the attribute to anyone, and C) You
can still play 3-cost stone events. I can see
this one being used in stone decks, though in my
eyes Right Arm of Judgment will be used more
because of it's searching ability. This is
probably the most middle of the road stone
you'll find so far, a very decent choice to use
your 3 and below cost stone events on.
Constructed 3.5/5: Good enough for the pump and
its moderate cheapness, but no deck searching
ability Sealed 4/5: It's nice for sealed because
the pump could become invaluable in a tight
spot, event if you don't have stone events to go
along with it.* |

Today we take a
look at The Philosopher's Stone stone. As a side
note shouldn't playing this card win you the
game since the point of the game is to get
enough clues to find the Philopher's Stone? In
any case, this is probably one of my favorite
stones. At 3 points it's not too difficult to
bring out. It's got a decent +1 to anything pump
which many opponents usually tend to forget
about and it's got enough points to be versatile
enough to play 3 1 point events, a 2 cost and a
1 cost or a 3 cost event. All in all a great
stone to use if you decide to go down the path
of Stone decks.
Constructed: 3/5-Still not entirely sold on
stones, but this is good as far as they go.
Sealed:4/5-A free +1 pump is always nice in
sealed. |
