Barduh is a good replacement for Jautya
the gap Jautya makes is far stronger when compared to Barduh, but Barduh is a better choice if you want to play DR/Heal per round
Lear Barduh is more situation based in comparison to Jautya. (potential life gap = 9 + fury = 11)
You gonna want to use him first if possible to get the biggest life gap as possible.
Jautya is able to be played any round but generally played at the end (for the gap/fury). If you got enough pills you can fury for a 12 life gap. (potential life gap = 8 + fury = 12)
Lear is more Pussycats resistance in-comparison to Jautya (+life per damage problems).
Ally + life abilitys might limit the full potential of heal and other life cards also need to be aware.
