Shadowverse

Loschkov 1-1 in any deck that relies on them is usually, at worst, one more or one less, and no one cares.

I repeat once again – they are not in any deck except for the Elven one. In the Sword, no one plays with conscripts; in the Blood, no one has played with mice for a long time. You can very rarely see 1-1 units in these decks, either from a lucky swing or an evolved Veni (White), and that's it. The Shadow has skeletons, but after the Catacomb's nerf, I see them much less often, and they are not dangerous because they remove a unit, but because they tear your face apart. And they appear later, if you don't count the Chimera.

Removing something decent can only happen due to a misplay.

This thing has no rush; no idiot will put a Ward against it.

Okay, in an ideal world, when you always have a choice from all available cards for the current mana and always have an answer for everything, and your only enemies are Wards. But in reality, you just play what you have in your hand, and when the opponent puts this crap down, and you don't have a spell on the third mana with four damage (haha), and you have to waste some unique unit or a 2-2 angel just to remove the unit, so that in your turn this creature doesn't destroy a stronger unit, or when it's against you on an empty board, and you have an Elf 3-4 in your hand, perfect for evolving, and you, picking your nose, play it just to "at least get two Faeries," then you might feel the value.
