Why have they decided to make this card cost 2 str 1, when all the other dual house with key words, str 3 cost 4?
Cost 2 could well be because of Stalwart. You don't want to keep re-playing a card every turn that costs 4 after all.

That said, given Stalwart without purpose (eg Kyle Condon) is not really an advantage, and nice as vigilant is in general it is a keyword that improves as the strength, number of icons and other keywords on a character improve (and this card hasn't a lot of anything really), its not in my all time list of top cards ;)

There can be a deck where this is a good card, but it is not likely to be a very good deck...

Maybe a stalwart deck.

exactly.  lol.    I did end up using this card in a melee deck I made awhile back that used Lethal Couterattack out of a Bara City of Shadows deck.

Card number should be 58 not 48.
