Why? Is this supposed to be a poor man's SG Jack? A semi-inferior substitute C instead of the almighty RRR mascot?

For 2 gauge more than SG Jack, you get:

> +1000 defense, which is bad for 1 gauge because that should give you +2000 defense. but already, Leightning hits magic numbers unassisted compared to Jack's default 5000 attack--but then Jack reliably equips Elgarcannon if that managed to make its way to your drop one way or the other.

> top-soulcharge that is situationally better/worse than dropzone-soulcharge as you can have a good opening play even with this in hand, as opposed to Jack that absolutely needs another monster in hand. but then what are the chances of not having a Dragarms in hand that you can charge and draw to pay for SG Jack's cost on the first/opening turn, or any other monster in particular? but 2 gauge does trade for +1, so this one is a wash.

So for budget builds, Leightning isn't so bad. You just won't be pulling off any stupid Radiant Punisher OTKs compared to SG Jack.
