A couple weeks ago, I asked about cards there were underused from the latest set. This week, we do the opposite. The exact opposite, in fact. The two cards in every Vidiian deck.

Technically there are three, but the headquarters doesn't count for this discussion.

Yes, Motura, Eminent Sculptor and Telari are in every deck. What is about these two that are apparently irreplaceable? Motura can gain skills and Telari has dilemma avoidance but there are other ways to do so. Heck, Telari has a pretty big cost as the game goes on!

for both of them, they were included just because of the skills for me. I don't believe I've activated Telari once in the 15-20ish games I've played with the decks

I mean, both have great abilities and great skill matrix for missions.

FWIW, I've used Telari's ability several times in the couple of tournaments that I've used , and if not for some random dilemma draw luck, came close to using it to win one of the games that I lost.
