I agree with you on both counts.
however:
regards(1), The games and numbers I showcased where intended to show you that:
(a) the card is more consistent than you think – Anahh is always a 50/50, if I want to kill a 5 health dude I have a 4/6 (2/3) chance, etc. Basically, knowledge of the numbers and a look at a glance at the position itself should be sufficient for figuring the best/worst/average cases of playing the card.
In short, I believe that knowldge of how the card works and knowledge of the position means that you can make this card rather consistent, despite the inherrant RNG.
.
Regards(2):
Yes, it is undeniable that doubling down on artifacts makes you twice as vulnerable to any damage, this is why match-up knowledge and positional considerations are critical.
However, the reverse is also true; some combinations of artifacts are WAY more powerful than the sum of the parts; Wraithlings might make very short work of Hexblade+Staff, but Anakh+Spineclever is likely to be a damn nightmare for a swarm deck! – in that case its not as simple as smacking the wraithlings in to “waste” the artifacts.
Its fair to say my video did gloss over some of the weakness of the card, but honestly, while the weakness are significant they are not significant enough for me to choose to put some other card in my deck.
hope this post helps
