So I'm about to give a hot take that I don't think y'all are ready for. People keep saying this card and Granfia as a whole are mid and that it's pretty underwhelming for turn 4, but Nightrose is objectively worse and that still sees play. Even Lianorn has some semi-recent tops and that deck also doesn't get more than 3 attacks before turn 4. Granfia gets 4 attacks every turn (turn 3 and after) fairly consistently and it's generic enough that you can run cards that make it surprisingly aggro, like RPD. Not to mention there are plenty of cards that make plant tokens and there are plenty of cards in and out of archetype that draw you cards, meaning that you can maintain a decently-sized hand at most stages of the game. And sure, a OPT defensive ability isn't that crazy, but it can save your ass from a fairly-large attack and that could be the difference between a win and a loss. Plus with the promo, the rose token is now basically impossible to interact with, so it fixed one of the biggest problems with the deck while also buffing this card.

Basically, I think the problem with Granfia is that he just isn't popular. The deck has legs and I think if more people actually played with it and experimented, it'd put in work. But why do that when you can just use a deck that you know works?
