🟠VERDICT: ONLY IF NEEDED
The Richards SBC feels unimpressive for this stage of the game. The main issue is the timing: a 98-rated card on August 23 feels outdated when players are already looking for 99-rated endgame cards. Some people remember his Conference League Winners card fondly, but this version is largely seen as too similar to his previous card, basically a “+1” upgrade. Overall, it feels more like filler content than a meaningful endgame SBC.
