In some sense a balanced FoV card would work. FoV is Warcry and Guard Order combined into one. It boosts either ATK/DEF by the same % as Warcry/Guard Order.

The main reason FoV is good is because it stacks with Warcry/Guard Order. Because of that, you would want at least one iteration of FoV. It's like having 2 Warcry's or 2 Guard Orders potentially firing off. This means I'll be using FoV cards in my ATK deck and also in my DEF deck. It certainly simplifies things if you can use the same card in either ATK or DEF deck.

However, the simple route is rarely the optimal route. I would say cards with balanced stats are for the casual player (or in this case the casual hardcore player) who don't have the time or don't want to expend the effort into making separate ATK/DEF decks.

Instead of a single balanced FoV card in the game, I would rather there be two lopsided FoV cards (one weighted into ATK, the other weighted into the DEF) in addition to this card. This allows super hardcore players to separate themselves from the casual/moderate hardcore players.
