Oswira Gard requires you to drop a monster with Counter Timing, which is good, unless you have no monsters (especially if you have those that using this card on would be a minus).

Alwidol is also great, but she requires a discard, and unless you have discarding engines ready, and since most people have some fear of using Breathen's return combo, she'd be a dead draw or only used in specific decks.

All cards have their weak spots, so you shouldn't criticize something wthout checking your own home court.

As to whether this card is useful, it is a late game card, and that C&D can change the flow of battle. Of course, if you don't have the 5 <> (Note, they can be multiple copies of the same card), then it'd be useless, but that's not exactly difficult to get in most games.
