It didn't really save his butt all that much, honestly. Aside from its first couple of appearances, it was rarely a late-game card. The only duel it really won was against Camula, and kinda Ojin. It saved him a couple of other times, notably against Kagemaru and Zane, but it's far from his most noteworthy card.
