What I was getting at is that it may help in some situations. If your deck
is built around getting out say, Mr. Black, as soon as possible, Dirk won't
help much. But let's say you're deck doesn't 'need' any one particular
contact but could be helped by some of them in certain situations (who's
never wished for a Bounty Hunter or Squatter at one time or another?). You
could put one Bounty Hunter, one Squatter, one Media Chick and one Humanis
in a deck. Any one of them might help if drawn by themselves, but now you
can be reasonably sure of getting what you need without having to put four
of each in and bloating your deck.
Oh, and don't forget, Dirk is prime. Only one in play at a time.
