To follow up.
The reason the new mission aren't following the purpose of the Ld missions talked about before. Because it of 2 things.
1. The cards aren't good. They're "only" decent.
I don't expect them to be great like Pirana's
Donnie Ld. That's because
Donnie is now a must-have (most-used if not banned).
Instead they should be good without being a must-have or must-used.
Meaning other cards can replace them but they're unique enough to be used against that other card based on personal preference or style of play.
For example Nightmare's
Dudley Ld and All Star's
Harrow Ld.
Harrow in T1 has a lot of competition but he is unique in that he is good on a heavy All Star week and he can 2HKO with
Marina and
Alexei without fury.
Dudley is another example he has too many competition from the great Life Gap-ers Kenny and
Azel to the all stop
Glorg to the new revenge
Russel even the power manipulator
Oshitsune.
But he is unique enough to be used based on player preference.
He is kinda versatile he can be used to bluff and gain more than just pill advantage and deal damage too.
That is something unique to him no other
Nightmare card can do.
He is unique enough to be used without being a must-have/must-use.
That is what Ld cards are supposed to be.
I think this is a unique card without being a must-have for
Sakrohm.
But for the current
Sakrohm this may be a must-use card. But that's just because
Sakrohm cards now are to unstable against SOAs.
