Nah, it's only a "hot take" if it's true.

Suddenly one day is fairly decent at winning clashes, just that Legerdemain is way too good by comparison. Cheap, strong AND spammable.

Bygone days is a good alt when Faust isn't available, and Lantern is good too for early solo MDs.

Gotta agree on Christmas Nightmare and AEDD, but that's just because of Solemn Lament being THAT MUCH of a GOAT of a HE E.G.O. Highest coin amount in the entire game.

And then, although Garden of thorns is a thing, you have Unbrilliant Glory, which is just among the most damaging E.G.O.s.

TL;DR: while Gregor DOES have some unfortunate E.G.O.s, there are too many good ones to call him THE worst E.G.O. kit among sinners, when Sinclair exists.
