"Guys, you are killing me! For the last time: If you think Retaliation Abygale has any draw power, you're making a naive fallacy. It's like when you give someone 10 Dollars, then he gives you 10 Dollars, too, and both of you expect to have more money than before."

- Yes but if you can make the other guy give you 10 dollars 2 or 3 times as a COST for other investments you end up with 30 dollars (20 more than what you started with) whilest dubie gives you 20 once and that's it (and can more easily be disrupted). Basically the fact that Retaliation can be reused and is not conditional to anything makes it jive way better with any setup than doobie doobie doo. You can even use him as a shield with leopard and get a draw each time... cant do that with dohbie.

"As for Doo Bie, yes, he doesn't work on your first turn, but then you just use it on your second turn and of course it is a good idea to have backup, but Retaliation won't do the trick because of the reason above. My advise would be to wait until the opponent attacks your monster and then use Black Ritual."

- So... your telling me to hold onto cards that do jack and sheet on my oponents turn... cards that I could CYCLE... so I can HOPE he doesnt kill me so they can be useful later... I'd rather have a good hand at all times thank you.

"About the matter of your start hand. If you get a bad start hand so often, a replacement engine becomes neccessary, i'd rather say you need to rethink your deck. Same goes for the Impact. Yes, there may be times you won't have one, but since the whole deck idea revolves around that card, those times should be really rare or your deck is crap. And the few times you really are that unlucky, a good deck will make a stand without it (and/or Doo Bie)."

- 8/50 (OR 8/44) is not that high a number... and counting the ways it can be disrupted in certain matchups bigger combos are needed. It happens having low luck... the best remedy? CYCLE LIKE CRAZY AS FAST AS YOU CAN SO YOU DECREASE THE NUMBER OF ODDS OF THAT HAPPENING!!! How you do that? YOU DON'T WAIT TURNS TO DRAW SHEET! XD
