Let's put it this way.... While Dubie is really good, his effect is once per turn and can only activate if you have an IMPACT SET on the field. On your first turn, you will NEVER be able to use Dubie for his draw effect with Black Ritual, for example... That can be the difference between a good first hand and bricksville,

And before you say "but I always get the impact on my first hand"... There will be a time when you won't. And then the Dubies you used to substitute Retaliation Abygale won't work on your first turn. You will blame your bad luck. But it will be bad luck that you could've minimized by not relying solely on Dubie, and having alternatives to reach your impact, or searcher.
