I don't say that oswira is bad, ut's really cool and even extremely strong under some conditions, like against spectral strike/penetrate. Tough it don't make Mabinogion garbge either, this book is just a draw 1 each turn, and even if the oppknent destroy it at his turn it's quite pointless since you can fetch it and then easily have a second one, tough it will eat more gauge so it can still be annoying, but at least you don't need to lose a monster in order to draw like when you cast oswira. But oswira don't make card advantage, you draw one by losing a card, you do -2 to draw 1, it's a -1 (I'm talking in Cards in hand strictly, not the gauge bonus), if you do it on a monster who is attacked you do 0 in hand, so in the end you are just recycling, hopefully there's the gauge with it, but what I mean is that in terms of pure CA Mabinogion is a lot better than oswira, and well why wouldn't you be able to use both if you want. Asgard, wydar and fairy have all their own draw engine, hero needed one special to them too, and bushi gave them a wonderful one that can't be easily splashed in asgard and co decks to make them even more powerful, so it's just erfect. TOugh I agree, it would have help to have it sooner, but late is better than never.

Oh and a last thing about " and well, there's the big reason of Caliburn. Its silly to run a Set Spell in Heroes, because doing so punishes you for using one of the deck's best plays", I'll just say that someone who know how to play his deck will know how to make both cards work together. If mabinogion made you draw at least 2 you don't care to lose it in order to cast Caliburn wave, if you know you will cast it you just don't set mabinogion, maybe charge and draw it if you want to recycle your hand, stopping your judgment to "no sets spells since I destroy them" isn't really a smart play when you can make both work together :/
