Benjoewoo – 3/5
With Crab’s particularly useful holding, Funeral Pyre, being an auto-include, this card is likely to see play in a core only environment. It’s potential to simply be a 1 for 1/1, however, means this will not necessarily be auto-include and is a likely early candidate for being phased out.
Kingsley - 3/5
At first I thought this card was great, and it can be in the right circumstances - but ideally you need to have both a wide board for multi-character conflicts and at least one holding in play, which can be a hard combination to achieve. 1/1 stats are also weak (2/0 or even 2/- has been superior to 1/1 in my testing), so this ends up requiring the ability to be really worth it. On the plus side, the ability can be great
nyxnyxnyx - 5/5
At 6 holdings in a 40 card deck, not considering mulligans or other biases, there’s a 49.25% chance of seeing at least one holding in a flop of 4 dynasty cards. Considering there are other *good* Crab effects that utilize Holdings, it’s not a stretch to imagine a mulligan/dynasty discard strategy centred around finding Holding(s). When it’s ‘on’, this thing is a monster. In its ‘off’ state, Hida Guardian’s stats aren’t absolutely terrible too. Should be an easy 3-of for a long time to come.
Grendel - 4/5
With one holding out, it’s doomed shugenja levels. 2 holdings, It’s silly. I don’t think that necessarily mitigates the drawback of not pulling characters with your dynasty draws but it does give a compounding bonus if the holding was worth running initially.
I Fight Dragons – 3/5
Hida Guardian is a very interesting card that rewards keeping holdings in play for massive stat swings. Unfortunately, she is a little clunky because she cannot buff herself; and if you are keeping that many holdings it can be expensive to dedicate two characters to a conflict. I still think she’ll find a home in a holding deck one day, but for now she’s a solidly average card.
