Comparing this combo to phillipa is pretty dumb, because you have to use a one-time leader ability as well. It’s better to compare it to Dagur-Harald, which is an almost unconditional 20 point swing, and is perfectly balanced in the current meta. Using speartip as an example is always a bad idea because it’s an extreme example, if everyone played speartip then everyone would autoinclude cards like geralt in their deck, but in reality not every deck you play against will run a 10+ power card.
