I don't get a bad starting hand often. It does happen once in a while though, and it will happen to you too. It's inevitable. BUT with Retaliation in my deck, alongside Dubie now, it is even rarer than ever.

Also what you mean about Retaliation is that it doesn't give you PLUSES, except when used with Black Ritual. Although Dubie DOES give you pluses and actually increases the number of cards in your hand in relation to what you had before, I don't see why a card that helps you cycle through your deck by itself is bad, and that's ignoring the combos. When Dubie isn't available, I don't see what's so wrong about minimizing minuses.
