Exactly, that's why I said 'it's not necessarily a bad play', and this is especially true on games 2/3.

BTW, I'm not sure if it's been explored yet, or not even conceivable, but has Burning Wish been tested? Seems good to bring in Massacre and Meltdown/Pulverize. Also putting in a copy of Reanimate, which can prove game winning in a mirror match by reanimating a discarded fatty on the other side of the table. It also enables to play a Duress in the main and an Unmask in the board. It also brings in Stronghold Gambit to beat GY hate.
It does slow the deck's average go-for-it turn (which is the main reason to play BR instead of UB), but I don't know might be worth it.
