As a starting character the only reason to use him is if you have not bought a starter deck. Or for fund decks. Card advantage is not the same as it is with other TCG's like Magic or Pokemon. And it is only a one shot deal too. But it you want to start the game with 3 more cards than your opponent than more power to you. If anybody has used Dean or thinks he is okay let me know. I will give him a try and see what will happen. I would give this card a 1 star out of 5 stars. Have fun.
