The problem with that is that most Sqwaaarks and Torgos are in Thugs vrs. Bugs decks, so
the Incubus and Boobytrap suddenly becomes a 6/6 (a1) Flea Spirit or something. I think
they should have made "Some Things Never Change" a 100% effective card. Having
to roll made it a real pain, and it only works once. Most like the team is gonna hit a
challenge and then pull out right away if your STNC works. It also has a down side if
you're using it to switch those Wake the Deads to real challenges; you're not able to pump
any of the challenges (this is also a decent defensive stratergy if you're playing against
a money deck).
