While on its face it seems like a major downside to playing the card, and hardly worth the cost - and it can be without the right cards in play - it pairs perfectly with the number of effects on Rise of the Floodborn cards that are triggered when cards enter or leave play, providing a easy way to put cards back in your hand, play them again and activate their effects
They can be played alongside high-cost cards in order to spend your extra ink and develop your board, they can get buffed by a Support character like Rolly and become a cheap way to trade up into bigger threats, and Lucky can discover them when you use his ability Good as New, making them more valuable in your deck than in your hand
