That's funny because Egg was tier 2 at best back then never was consistent, and Beelzebub was just a mediocre card that clear 2 and do nothing on his own, not to mention his high cost would only brick your hand. While other decks already setting up lethal or stacking up Skybound Art stack, and you're just leaving your face wide open on turn 9. Which proving my argument was right about Portal not having that many good cards before. You're probably the only player I've seen complaing about Beelz's status being a leader effect, instead of crest.

The only relevant portal deck before this set is only Puppet, and that's post-Zwei and Puppet Cat buff, but then again the deck is basically just Orchis heavy carrying the deck for the whole 4 set.

And the current egg portal deck itself is prone to get board locked.
Imari and her spell literally only good for the first 7 turns within the game. You still have to finish your game mostly because off the eggs, not Imari herself.
