A lot of odd-ball cards used in these scenarios. Still good rulings and all, just so odd on the choices of cards for the examples, y'know?

[Lelouch Lamperouge]

i agree with sketch, weird cards to pick considering like 2% of the player base still uses those cards

[Arc V Yuto]

Well its good to know ruling for all cards. Gives you more knowledge about the game. And sure most of these cards dont see play but its always great to know how a scenario plays out.
