Vincent Lee can only use this strain not the other two because of deck restrictions.
Still a slotless 3/3 soak for 2 cost ain't bad at all to work with, though not as strong as the other two strains hence it dodged the additional experience taboo.
For one resource and one action Vincent needs to put 4 growth on it. I cannot see the benefit of putting more than 4 as that is the limit of how much it can soak before it is defeated and then goes to the discard pile. What other assets can compete as a self healing soaking mechanism?
