@MrCFVanguard:

Dragonic Charge is a terrible card. All cards of its kind are. it takes valuable deck space, and minuses you, and when you're the deck that has so many other methods of charging, there's no reason to run them, outside of budget reasons.

It does not matter gauge intensive Braveheart is. Jackknife decks are dead in the water without Jackknife, so you need absolutely maximum consistency on getting him out.

Yes, Dragonic Punisher is bad. It lacks the damage reduction and nullification protection that Gargantua Punisher boats, yet COSTS MORE TO USE. And yes, unlike in BT01, this is very relevant. Every World has access to either damage reduction of Impact nullification now.

So? You're just going to assume you'll always have monsters to slap in the center, when many of the deck's key cards require being placed on the left or right? You're just going to assume your opponent will never break through your center? Running 8 Dragon Shields is common sense, regardless of the use of Items or not
