Boost to BOTH atk and def doesn't help that much because it's a lower % boost than boosting just attack. To be effective, you should boost either or. Gery is a great backline card, because it's Attack-to-Power Ratio is quite high, and in the backline, it's skill is irrelevant.

Really, if you're interested in creating a great deck, then check out Cari's skills breakdown on the site, and formulate a plan around that.

Iceman's "mediocre" boost of 23% has made it to my frontline (HQM, New Aurora, Gawain, Iceman), because it's attack is greater than exo (same skill). At skill 10, that's 25% boost, 25%, 24%, 23% boosts. If my top 3 activate, that's a 74% boost to attack, second only 2 forest, which has 3 Great Boosts to Forest Attack (75% boost, 3 skill activations).

My last card is a def drop card because if you do the math it can be pretty effective as well, but that's my personal choice. Artesia or Odin used to be in that slot but it's only a 20% boost to Atk/Def.
