BanalityBob - 3/5 - Not terrible, not awesome. Avatars are an interesting theme with the new Nyarly, and she can make them cheap enough to be scary. However, there’s definitely a lot of card disadvantage involved. Claude Owen seems brilliant with her though to really explode starting turns 3-4. At least she has an icon to help with struggles if you topdeck her late game.
Danigral - 3/5 - Certainly not as powerful as Shubs other weenies at the same cost, but she’s not bad either. At least she can do something while waiting to trigger her ability. Regardless she will only see play with other Avatars to get an early 3 or 4 cost character out, and in turn getting Nyarly out to start getting more Avatars into hand. She may see most play with Claude Owen too.
dboeren - 3/5 - It remains to be seen how well Avatars work out as a theme, and she’s pretty dependent on Avatars to be worth her salt. However, some of them look fairly promising.
Kamacausey - 3/5 - Shub gets another cost reducer. Granted, a far more limited cost reducer, but a cost reducer nonetheless. Any shub deck running avatars couldn't go wrong running the Handmaid.
mnBroncos - 2/5 - Really dependent on what Avatars you are running, also Shub has already better accelerating cards that I can’t see this seeing much play. Does at least have an icon.
Reckoner - 3/5 - She has an icon and skill which makes her on par for 1 cost characters but the ability is what will determine if she sees play. If there is an Avatar/Nyarly deck to be made, she will almost definitely be a part of it.
