Key Design Idea:

Wild Swings

Dan's character ability gives his attacks +1 Power and +1 Speed–if you're willing to commit one Gauge to them before checking what they are! Many of his attacks which are merely OK become incredibly dangerous with this edge.

Since Dan plays a lot from the top of his deck, his cards give him other ways to leverage the cards in his hand, such as discarding them to power Saikyo Haraigoshi or moving them directly to Gauge with the Gadouken.
