lol Tyrant, I didn't even notice any hostility until you pointed it out. You know, some posts are TL;DR.

But yeah I have to agree with Zoroark's point. Arguing that gauge chargers are merely -1 (and without any plusses) is pretty nonsense. Think of it as a trade-off. You -1 this turn but you gain 2 gauges to speed up your progress this turn (+1). It works like a gambit in chess. If you don't understand gambit, google it yourself.

-1 card +1 tempo

Now that I mention it, Buddyfight kinda works like a chess. At one time it's better to eat all the opposing chess pieces, while at the other time it's better to just go ahead for a checkmate. There is no way to tell which strategy works the best, as it has different usage at different time.
