1. That depends on how Jackknife-centric and gauge-intensive your playstyle is. If the winning image of your deck is to overwhelm your opponent with powerful Jackknife cards, more is always better. I might run 4 Thunder Storm and 2 Dispersal, but I'll test first when I get the cards to see what works.

2. How efficient a card is and how practical a card is are very different. In a jackknife oriented deck that runs multiple copies of Braveheart, you will be calling Jackknife Dragon a lot more than any other monster in the deck. While Jackknife Dragon is not as cost-efficient as the other cards, it is a lot more practical. Being searchable has a significant impact on your choice of buddy.

3. I'm going to run 4 Dragonic Punisher. Why? Because I like using 4 impacts and I don't have any Gargantuas (I'm not going to waste money on TD01 or BT01).

5. I think it's a good card. I'll probably only run 2 due to space issues though (I'm not using any Dragoenergy's btw)

I'll add in a few more:

6. I absolutely need 4 Dragonic Charge in my deck. Even with 4 copies I'm going to struggle with gauge. I can't run less than 4.

7. You do realise that running 5 copies of a card compared to 4 increases the chances of drawing your buddy card by 33%, right? (assuming you have 1 in your buddy zone) 33% is a pretty significant improvement.

8. TD03 will be my first (and possibly my only) set that I purchase due to budget issues. I'd like to have a decent card pool to be able to modify my deck and a 2nd trial deck is a good way to obtain said card pool. I can't obtain singles, either, if you're wondering.
