Fieldworker
Draw 3 cards. Your opponent may also draw a card.
Analysis
Pros
1. You get to draw cards. Any sort of draw power is always good to have.
2. Your opponent's deck may be thinned by 1 card. If your aim is to deck your opponent, this card can help out.
Cons
1. It's a Supporter.
2. Your opponent gets to draw a card. Even though its optional, your opponent will more than likely take the free card. Just hope your opponent doesn't get the card they need!
Ratings
Unlimited: There are much better draw cards in this format, like Bill and Prof. Oak. Also, Supporters are hardly ever used in Unlimited decks. 3/10
Modified: There are better options out there, like TV Reporter and Bill's Maintenance. Even though both also nab you three cards, neither of them let your opponent have a free card. In other words, Fieldworker may not be the best choice out there. 6/10
Limited: There is hardly any draw power in Legend Maker, so Fieldworker would be good to use, even though your opponent gets a card too. 8/10
Conclusion
Even though Fieldworker may look like a good card, your opponent could benefit from the free card by using Fieldworker.
