I actually really like Augustus. It’s nice to have a powerful beater like that sometimes, and being able to activate effects of GBs in your hand and shuffle them into the deck can be useful. Unfortunately, you just have to deal with the risk of drawing into him, which is a straight up dead draw 90% of the time.
Please, all fools and noobs in this thread remember that the Gladiator Beasts solved this issue themselves with the card known as Respite. 🔥ing use it, or any of the multiple hand reset cards available.
