nyxnyxnyx - 2/5
Paying 1 for 1-skill is very very bad. The first time you play this you’re already in the hole, having paid 1 card and 1 fate just to get a paltry 1-skill. Subsequent activations actually put you further in the hole, considering 1 fate for 1-skill is terrible. Lion also have barely any attachments-matter cards, so its value as an attachment is minimal, barring some kind of anti-Niten Adept tech.
 
Kingsley - 2/5
This is basically an expensive, inferior version of Dragon's Ancestral attachments, though it does have the upside of being more resilient to attachment control. The problem here is that paying a fate for +1/+1 is pretty bad aside from attachment synergy that doesn't exist in faction. Dragon might consider it, but Dragon already has better attachments that play a similar role. This does benefit from being perhaps the best card in the game for wasting Kisada's ability, though!
 
Benjoewoo – 2/5
Nice because nothing currently exists to permanently remove it from being played later. But, even with +1/+1, it’s a weak boost and the opportunity cost seems fairly high.
 
I Fight Dragons – 4/5
I initially didn’t like this card, as I felt fate was too tight to pay 1 for just +1 for a conflict. Since playing the game more, it’s a lot easier to manage my fate expenditures and this card is just great to have in your pocket if you need it and it gets bonus points for turning off Hida Kisada’s ability for free, just for sitting in your discard pile.
 
Grendel – 3/5
Trades the cost of a card for the cost of a fate. Easy to overlook, easier to overvalue.

This card is very good and useful, you sacrifice fate for unlimited uses of this card. Its much better than ancestral, can be used to buff cheap units, to overcome Shizuka Toshi, Night Raid etc if I can I want a single copy of it whenever I play Lion or splash Lion.

Hmm, my experience is that this is utter crap.

The card has it's uses in certain match-ups, it's usually worth it as a one of because if you draw it it stays online the rest of the game. It helps a lot against Crane since it turns off their box when you're attacking with your 2 Pol characters. It's a solid tech card in my experience.

As it has been mentioned, cannot understand how anyone that values Ancestral attachments would not value this card even higher ("sort of" immune to discard!!)

Well, for one thing, the two ancestral cards give +2, not +1. And for another, they're attachments in Dragon, who get added value from attachments in multiple ways, and who can discount attachments.

 

If Ancestral Daisho and Kitsuki's Method were lion cards, they'd still be slightly better than Guidance of the Ancestors, but probably wouldn't find their way into decks.

I don't think it's as bad as most reviewers think it is. It's a non-restricted small buff that's always there for the Brawlers to claim when they hit the table. As long as there is a LPB in game, there's one ancestor around ready to guide her. And the +1/+1 does matter in this case, since those gals are pretty versatile, being able to participate in either conflict depending on how things go at any given time.
