It would be difficult to imagine a deck where this card is not useful. Any type of strategy, be it high battle destiny, weapons, or an interrupt laden philosophy, can benefit from the presence of EB. One of the often overlooked advantages of EB is that the only way to counter the effect is to eliminate the character carrying the device. The ability to control destiny draws can make a decisive difference in many games. There are a vast number of combos which utilize the destiny control ability of EB. Be warned that the limited version of EB is a misprint and should read one to deploy, two to use.
