PRACTICAL GUIDE
Choose a card for the problem it answers
A deck is a developing set of relationships, not a display case for individually impressive effects.
Name the present gap
Ask what the current arrangement struggles to do. A card that answers a missing function can be different from one that duplicates a strength.
Consider its companions
Check what another piece must provide before the card helps. This matters in a shared front and in a defence spread across several locations.
Avoid a context-free ranking
This publication does not establish a universal best-card list. Current rules, available choices and the developing plan are relevant to the decision.
