For this reason, its got a decent chance against aggro decks (it should be able to handle those with relative ease) and against Control Decks (dont bother with building up strong characters just race to twenty lore)
Its a way to equalize the situation
In those days, a popular sequence was to open with Dark Ritual into a Black Knight or pump knight, with a Thrull Retainer to make an immediate threat that beat both Swords to Plowshares and Lightning Bolt
When he enters the battlefield, you get to temporarily steal an opponents creature
That does apply to the Kida's owner's cards as well, though, so it must be used strategically if any attacks are going to be made
While there are several interesting things going for this deck, well go over the strongest cards first and dive into what you can do about the weaker ones after
