Much better card than would first think. Most decks are in shootouts meaning your deck is going to cycle to your discard pile, then you have a search card to crab the missing influence for not to lose or a heavy hitter to even the fight.
In a DMH build to get Steven Wiles out every turn so you dont need to pay his upkeep, something your opponent hates to see. In decks not running A's it can be hard to find the cut, but it deserves a chance.
