I've used him once in a lynch crew, so paid the mercenary tax on him too. I happened to start turn one with the red joker and a 13 in hand, LOS to Karina and one shotted her, no more summoning for Tara today. I was lucky with my hand, but I like the trigger options he brings, especially when you can influence your trigger through his zero action. An option to ignore incorporeal, armour or give slow is really nice. Especially when facing a crew with the hanged and Izamu regularly involved.
