Kingsley - 5/5
A really standout conflict character, Political Rival is very powerful on both offense and defense. The fact that it's three fate does mean this may not be a 3x even in decks that can include it, but the stats for cost here are just nuts. One of very few conflict characters that would be quite strong even as a dynasty character.
 
I Fight Dragons – 3/5
Political Rival looks very powerful on paper. A 3 Political with Covert or 6 Political on Defense are both very valuable for 3 fate. I rate this card average for now because I simply haven’t had it played against me or when I play crane, yet. So I imagine he’s better than a 3 overall but I could be wrong.
 
nyxnyxnyx - 5/5
Amazing card! 3 fate for a whopping 6 skill on defence is insane, as is Covert while on attack. Also a conflict character, which is great, and a Courtier, which is always convenient. 
 
Grendel - 4/5
This guy is awesome for anyone looking to shore up their Pol muscle. Covert is a powerhouse. Way above the curve for 3 cost characters.
 
Benjoewoo – 5/5
3 fate for a -/6 political on defense means you have Hotaru’s political stat on a stick, which isn’t bad. The dash can be an issue, as splashing her in military decks can be awkward, but having covert is like having a Tattooed Wanderer on steroids for political attacks. A good check for when political decks are meta.
