This card’s consistency has been greatly improved with the addition of Energy Shield. Now Guardian heroes can run the Groot ally and Victor Mancha and maintain them both as semi-permanent blockers. This card will still be much more playable in multi-player and depending on the villain can dish out crazy damage. When evaluating damage mitigation I think it’s best to think of it as delayed threat mitigation. If you don’t get low you don’t have to flip down. If you don’t flip down the villain won’t scheme.
