Eiyuu Senki Gold Cards of the Day 15/5/2014

Hi everyone! Today we have the multi-colored Alexander and Aristotle-sensei!
-----
Moooooooooo

Trait and Name (Japanese): 花嫁衣装の「アレキサンダー」
Trait and Name (English): Bridal Costume [Alexander]
Element: Fire
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 6 / 6 ( +1 / +1 )
Card Number: ES-182R
Flavor Text (Japanese): 純白の花嫁衣装!つまりウェディングドレスだ!
Flavor Text (English): A pure white bridal costume! In other words, a wedding dress!

[Entry Cost]
Send 2 <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Characters from your Hand to your Waiting Room

[Continuous Effect][Partner Effect]
While you have 2 or more Faced-up position Friends without [Penetrate], this Character gains +2 Attack and [Penetrate].

[Continuous Effect][Partner Effect]
While you have 2 or more Faced-up position Friends with [Penetrate], any Damage received by this Character is reduced by 3.

[Automatic Effect][Once per Turn]
If you draw a card(s) due to a card effect, this Character gains +3 Attack and +3 Defence until the end of the Turn.

Moo is right. I like how adaptive Alexander is. However, her stat growth isn't that great.
You can play her in 2 styles:
Have her as your main Damage-dealer, by having 1 or no Friends with Penetrate, and play Friends which can increase your Partner's stats, like:
We rule South East Asia with our slapstick comedic acts. Napoleon would be so proud!

This Magellan & Cook Extra (From Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box) gives your <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Partner +2 Attack and +2 Defence, as well as reducing non-Battle Damage on all of your Characters by X. X being the number of  OTHER <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Characters you have on your Area.

Of course, the other style would be playing a deck which relies on Friends with Penetrate. In this case, you'd play Alexander as a Partner who absorbs incoming Damage from your Opponent's Characters. Here is one possible Character you can use (From Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box):
Admit it. That western backdrop probably meant you were lost again.

You draw 1 card from your Deck when Percival enters your Area (Or level-up, but this is highly unlikely). This goes great with Alexander's Automatic Ability, giving her +3 / +3.

In addition, Percival gives your Partner +3 Defence when your Partner is selected as a Guarding Character! This obviously gives Alexander a thicker hide (Pun!).

OR!

Why not both styles? Yes, notice that both conditions are "2 or more". Since you're allowed up to 4 Friends on your Area, you can have 2 Friends with Penetrate, and another 2 without Penetrate, giving her both effects! That'd totally make her a powerful Partner, but it takes some time to set up the Area.

Last note: Alexander's ability to gain +3 / +3 when you draw a card(s) works on both Players' Turns, and you're not limited to just your card effects! Should your Opponent cause you to draw a card, this effect activates! Or should you use Yoshitsune (From Eiyuu Senki Trial Deck)...
Her chest holds her darkest secret. Quite literally.

Yoshitsune's effect allows you to draw 1 card from your Deck whenever your <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Partner is selected as an Attacking or Guarding Character. Great!
-----
Now let's move onto Aristotle-sensei!
-----
With great IQ, comes low EQ

Trait and Name (Japanese): ジパングの縁日を楽しむ「アリストテレス」
Trait and Name (English): Enjoying the Zipangu Fair [Aristotle]
Element: Fire
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 3 / 5 ( +1 / +2 )
Card Number: ES-183C
Flavor Text (Japanese): あれが世に聞く「金魚すくい」ですね。まさか、実物が見れるとは…
Flavor Text (English): I have heard of "Goldfish Scooping". I never expected really see it....

[Entry Cost]
Flip 1 of your <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Characters from Faced-down position to Faced-up position

[Continuous Effect]
Your [Alexander] gains +2 Attack.

[Automatic Effect]
When your [Alexander] Partner is selected as an Attacking or Guarding Character, draw 1 card.
-----

Well! Now we can replace the earlier-mentioned Yoshitsune with Aristotle!
Nothing much I can say about this. This just goes great with an Alexander Partner, and has very little use in other decks.
-----

That's all for today! See you all again tomorrow!
