I didn't meant to simply replace Judgement with another salvage spell and there is a difference between a defensive strategy and durability. My idea was to lower your losses with soulguard or a defensive ability/spell and therefore make salvage unnecessary. That would be beneficial for Helles Shield, too, because you are more likely to have an executioner on the field and to be on the save side, you can add an item (for example Silver Givson, if you want to go for draw power).

And this has nothing to do with "being a special snowflake". I simply asked myself, how can i even out the defense weakness of the executioners without relying on Judgement. I can't tell, if i would succeed, since i just made a quick brainstorm, but you ruled that possibilty out, just because you have always done it your way (or because Bushiroad told you so). Furthermore, being so dependent on a single card is a sign of a bad deck. What do you do, if you don't draw Judgement?

I don't deny, that there are staples, most of them in attributes with low support (like Joe in Shadow Shade) but there are way less staples than people think there are. Batzz isn't a staple, neither is Abygale, they are just comfortable to play with. Other games have ban lists for such cards.
