It's dead most of the time, though. And this is a deck where that can be fatal as your cards won't live and you lack defense to last very long, so you need to replace them to be able to win. It's only in because there isn't much else to use and it counts as a blade in drop for the cards that care about that. Once more Blade cards are a thing, that is probably out. Explosive plays are awesome, but when you can't pull them off, they aren't much use.

FYI, I see nothing wrong with the deck, Kuro, and any critique I have of it are untested preferences, really.
