Best fit

Ongoing

How to use it

Use Punisher in Ongoing shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include.

Common mistake

The common mistake is jamming Punisher into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect.

Token advice

Reserved token advice: skip or wait unless this card is essential to a deck you already enjoy.
