He's amazing for us achievement farmers. The gauge of a good card shouldn't be whether it beats everything else in the meta at everything. Let's compare it to the closest thing that is in the meta, Barbhogg.

Offensively, he has a slight edge, running a x16 with dual compared to the x12.25 of Barbhogg, and a bit more potential for boosting. I can't really credit one side or the other for Mothman or Yunyang, as both definitely has a place in each team.

In terms of team versatility, Barbhogg doesn't have too much of an edge, since the only dragons that really have a place are Pilatus (a decent booster), Corrupting Dragon of Foul Maggots (a booster that hurts Barbhogg's conversion), Dragon Maleficent (a decent offensive converter), and Byakhee (nice defensive converter, who boosts himself and one of you leaders by being there), or maybe Terrametallic Dragon (a sniper, and the only one that Haza doesn't really have a good answer to). Barbara and Nidhogg themselves are the best dragons being added.

Defensively, kind of a mixed bag. The Dragon team has the slight edge on HP, but much of that is diminished by the constant 10% hp bleed, though the dragon mix does have (usually) higher recovery to compensate. The respective dragon leaders have a full heal every 10 rounds and a 30-40% damage reduction every 5 rounds, compared to two full heal/100% damage reduction with a built in offensive booster every 16 rounds. Situational which is better. All told, slight point to Barbhogg I think in defense.

One other point that I think bears mentioning: It's a lot easier to get a Haza team up and running. Running Haza/Mufasa/Mothman/Yunyang/Dodo/Haza requires no power release stages, and no soulmaster. Nothing but biweekly stages and diamond draws. It also has 3 monsters that require only werewolves to get to skill level 10.

Is it the new be all, end all team that proves once and for all that beast teams should be cared about the way dragon teams are? Not really, but that doesn't make it bad, just "not incredible."
