Pros and cons
Pros:
- Comfortable in Energy, meaning that G3 and A real flair for discord can be used often, and missing out for any reason on a Let’s see what happens level 2 is not too bad.
- Allows playing Majors in the mid/late game while having high CP.
- No reclaim loop.
Cons:
- Low CP: 3 only unlocked on turn 4, and 4 on turn 6.
