I think extended play with this deck will reveal frustrations in the x4 highly situational cards (AB and CD).

Also, you may not care but YAD can result in forcing a discard greater than what one hand can hold, under the masterplay rules. There's a reason Emp doesn't have an attack greater than 5 in his deck. Just sayin.

Annihlator Blaster isn't *that* situational. The only drawback is that sometimes the card sits in your hand a few turns until you draw a basic card to pair with it. But, with the more consistent card draws on DOOKU'S TRAINING and GENERAL'S ORDERS, it shouldn't be as difficult to get a basic card to pair with AB. COWARDLY DEFENSE had always been situational. It's a strong card early in the game, and a weak card later on...and this is intentional.

But your point is well taken on YOU ARE DOOMED. Masterplay doesn't seem like as popular a format as 1vs1 or 2vs2, at least online. So, I'm not as concerned, but you do raise a very good point. It might be worth considering this particular card in a few more contexts. But, in 1vs1 and 2vs2, the card maxes out at a discard of 6, so it's definitely not overpowered, and rarely comes close to the devastating effect of YOU WILL DIE. Perhaps I should reword it so you only count Grievous and the Magnaguards...then it would max out at 6 regardless of format.
