                                PFF is a very nice trick. You can slap it on a 
                                character that is a bit weak in DEF, or you can 
                                slap it on a little guy that is critical to your 
                                deck when you don't want to get demolished by 
                                break through damage. It gives both it and you 
                                protection. 
                                 
                                In limited, it's an excellent and versatile 
                                card. Versatility is key in CCGs, and this thing 
                                qualifies. Definitely play it, and pick it 
                                fairly high in drafts.

                                -- 
                                 
                                I'm not a huge fan of this card, but in the 
                                right deck, it's OK. The fact that you can 
                                essentially protect your character from anything 
                                your opponent does to it barring simple combat 
                                is great, especially with the boost to DEF. 
                                However, the fact that the card also prevents 
                                *you* from targeting your character is pretty 
                                bad. I do believe the card belongs in any 
                                Unaffiliated deck, which is a bonus. 
                                 
                                In limited, there tends to be a better card in 
                                the pack, even late. Only pick this card if it 
                                is in way late and the rest of the pack is bad.

                                CONSTRUCTED 
                                 
                                What to say about a card that turns Mr Fantastic 
                                (5) into a very frustrating character? I’ve been 
                                working on a couple of Fantastic control/stall 
                                decks and I’ve been having a field day with this 
                                card. And as much as I may like pulling off 
                                stupid tricks with this card it doesn’t make it 
                                a very playable card. It is a fun card but its 
                                recruit cost pretty much translates into a sing 
                                that reads “Look at Acrobatic Dodge or even 
                                Unstable Molecules because I will screw up your 
                                curve”.  
                                 
                                2/5 
                                 
                                LIMITED 
                                 
                                I would say that depending on what else is in 
                                the pack this card could be a first pick but I 
                                know not everyone else out there is a defensive 
                                player so I will bite my tongue. I will say that 
                                this card is very strong in an environment where 
                                there aren’t a lot of modifiers and that this 
                                card alone could practically turn your 3 drop 
                                into a 4 drop stat ways, but this card will 
                                probably be the reason why you are playing a 3 
                                drop on turn 4. >< 
                                 
                                2.5/5

                                This must be stall week…or reinforcement 
                                week….Once again we are going  
                                to take a look at a casual card that can create 
                                a stall situation and  
                                give one of your characters reinforcement. With 
                                a recruit cost of 1,  
                                this card will not make its way into many 
                                tournament worthy decks (if  
                                any). Why? Simple, right now the object of the 
                                game is to knock your  
                                opponent down and then kick them while they are 
                                down. Not easy to do  
                                if you are going to load up on cards that cost 
                                you recruit points and  
                                only give your characters some protection. 
                                Personally, I would take  
                                Advanced Hardware over this card any day.  
                                 
                                Not to say that this card is all bad….A +3 
                                defense for your character  
                                is not too shabby and reinforcement is a great 
                                way to hang in there.  
                                Not to mention a card such as Finishing Move can 
                                no longer be effective  
                                for your opponent….  
                                 
                                Still, if you are going to try to be competitive 
                                there are much better  
                                cards you could be playing…trust me on this 
                                one….  
                                 
                                Ratings:  
                                Constructed – 2.5/5.0 …..this card just doesn’t 
                                quite have what it  
                                takes…..  
                                 
                                Limited – 3.0/5.0 …a good card to use in limited 
                                to protect yourself,  
                                but it comes at a higher cost….
