I agree that Baron is massively overrated by most casual players but I feel like the backlash from more experienced players has gone too far
Like I'm seeing people put Baron in f tier—F TIER?! Really?!
Yeah it's niche but come on, it's not absolutely useless unless steel cards are absolutely useless, which they very much are not- it's not on the same level of required deck fixing as Idol, even if you just strength all 4 queens in your vanilla deck and do nothing else, which I don't think is that insurmountable a task. that's still at a 57.4% chance to get at least 3 Kings in your hand to start playing pairs with assuming you use your 2 discards on blue stake and above, and 84.7% chance to get at least 2- I feel like this at least makes it comparable to, Seeing Double, Blackboard, Cavendish, Ancient Joker, or Baseball Card (assuming you're doing a pairs build, which you almost always should be in blue stake and above), for just a little bit Strength'ing you can get a not horrible semi scaling X mult joker, I'm just saying it's like at least C tier.
I'm only a Completionist+ player though so like, I'm not a God or anything I just really think people who say Baron is trash tier are really overreacting to the praise it gets from less experienced players. and it's not THAT bad.
