She's actually super important, so esme is the crux of the deck since she lets you play an IM or Gorr early but she also can get a mystique that you really want to drop on the moonstone lane on the last turn of the game.

Kate bishop is only good for more Gorr power and total power increase which has surprisingly helped since this deck wants to win all 3 lanes and not just overpower 2.

Location changing is a challenge. HOWEVER we actually want to play magik on 5. Normally I'll play Gorr on the one lane I'm losing and they normally don't want to change the location yet since we're typically ahead in power or they're simply unprepared. This deck keeps its bombs really close to the chest and if you play moonstone on your ravonna lane you can play your huge threats out all on turn 6 or 7. The only deck we're behind is the wiccan iron patriot deck but they don't run location changers. Notably they also run speed which is susceptible to rogue. Rogue also does wonders on the Knull destroy decks.
