Verdict

Stardust is a well-balanced tech card that helps keep card-cheat metas in check, but the 4-cost investment is a heavy price.

Best fit

tech, anti-card-cheat, control

How to use it

Use Stardust when the meta has enough card-cheat or explosive play patterns to justify spending four energy on disruption.

Common mistake

The common mistake is treating Stardust like a cheap universal answer. Four energy is a real investment, so the target meta needs to justify the slot.

Token advice

Be conservative with tokens. This is more of an archetype purchase than a universal account upgrade.
