@Acerbus Vultus: "Optimal" is different from "Good".

While I not sure if Emiya is good or not, I'm pretty sure that his suboptimal in the sense that he could have been much better. In fact his triple A deck makes much more sense pre-Projection Magcraft than post-strenghtening. Pre-strenghening his Art card was Emiya's best card but with Projection and Hawkeye his Art card became argually his worst card (I said argually because his quick card is quite bad on its own).

Don't get me wrong Emiya certainly become stronger with his strenghening but he also becomes glaringly suboptimal.

Emiya isn't a jack-of-all-trade either. His deck triple A deck is too unbalanced, his also quite selfish and his lack of natural star gen make him quite support reliant. All in all he only fit in Art team and like most Art servant he is rather like a specialized tool instead of a versatile jack-of-all-trade.
