Article #8: Fieldworker (LM)

[Raikou Trainer]

This was originally written in mid-late 2006, so combos, ratings, etc. will be outdated.

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.
