"Batzz isn't a staple"

Yes he is. Batzz is a staple in TE. It's not a card you need to run at all given times, you are free to make a Batzz-less deck, by all means. But Batzz is the strongest monster in TE, and not running him means your deck will suffer a lot in how it performs.

Staple does not mean "A card you MUST have in a deck, unless you are not playing the deck correctly". Staple means "The best card suited for a deck which you should have at all times". (I know this is not the exact definition, sue me)

Its like with A Ruler's Priviledge, one of the strongest spells Chaos has, being a staple card. You dont need to run it, but it's arguable that you should always consider that card.

Or in the case of Tyrant Cerberus, which is an item searcher. You dont NEED to run him, but he is a staple card (ergo, you should always consider it) if you run Items with the Tyrant attribute.
