So, the one thing about the Sins hit that is overlooked (or maybe not noticed much) is the fact that Hendrickson builds have to choose between stock swap or a bouncer. If Hendrickson chooses the swap route and runs into anti burn (Shana for example), they will have a much harder time winning. The only way around this is to build Hendrickson deck using red instead of yellow and run Merlin as a bouncer option or run a Holy Knight variant and use the lv 3 Gil/Hendrickson package. Also, yes Hawk is an alternative pick to Dreyfus but I believe overtime, people are going to realize first-hand how bad Hawk really is in helping them close out a game compared to Dreyfus. The refund stock makes a huge difference in how your endgame plan works and makes it more of a flexible experience. Hawk just makes it a bit of a headache (still do able though). In which at this point, why not just run double stock swap? It just as effective as stock swap fumio and cost the same stock without the need to rest a character.
Yeah, I realized in the editing process that i didn't account for the cost of the hendrickson effects. But it still doesn't feel like that big a hit to me personally. Since the Dreyfus refunds stock I get why people say its bigger. I do still feel like it was weird that Bushi didn't give any real reasonings for their hits either? was kinda sus lol

It does matter with the SDS deck hits. The Hawk costs three versus over all 1 investment. That can cost you a Hendrickson for the end game
