My first impression is that this is weaker than I expected. It could be due to my matchups, but I'm really struggling to find good targets for this leader ability. Copy and play would be something entirely different, but "spawn on opposite row" in many ways limits this leader to order units, independent turn-by-turn units or tall units.
-Seems pretty bad against SY for sure, except as a counter to Savollas Frightener (not sure if this is ideal). I can't think of many other syndicate cards it would be useful against.
-Seems pretty weak against ST as any worthwhile units to copy depends on ST stuff in most cases. Exceptions are some of their order/ping units which would give a non-ideal leader. It can be useful is you play a heavily imposter like deck (dudu,kingslayer etc), but even that is somewhat unrewarding as most copied units is not played and don't proc harmony. It is probably more useful in an assimilate variance.
-SK I didn't find any useful targets yet. There are useful targets for sure, but I haven't really found them.
-NG I guess it's most useful against Damien and Skellen or Tibor for those decks who play him. Especially as a combo. That's probably an opportunity for this leader to shine, especially against Damien. Less so against Skellen unless you have say Royal Decree at hand.
-MO, good for tall copy and probably assimilate style decks and imposter heavy decks (kingslayer, dudu) which can punish some deathwish decks probably. Haven't met MO decks yet, so dunno.
-NR, not sure if the value would be good, but they have many order units, also many non-useful ones to copy. Haven't tried yet.
Anyways, I'm struggling to find good targets for this leader. i'm playing mostly a lockdown/status based deck, but I also tried an imposter heavy + semi-assimilate type deck without success. I've also seen poison variants. I guess a real assimilate version could be interesting to try.
So, what are your impressions so far anyways? What type of deck do you use for this leader? What type of decks do you find less or more good with this leader?
