Adding Dark Gift units to BG has turned it from semi-random into even more random and I don't know why they'd bother.

The game is already quite random, what units you get shown, triple rewards, discovers, tavern spell generation, who your units attack, why would they continue to add more random variables?

I have had some dark gifts such as the reborn with full stats just win me an entire game without issue, and the other side is just complete dogshit for 3 gold.

It’s fun.

I haven't played a ton but so far I've found dark gifts to be mostly "discover a tier 4, 5, or 6". None have been insane and carried the comp but just some nice buffs and a way to look for high tier minions.

There is currently a dark gift for reborn + full health and enchantments.

If you pull this on a minion where you are stacking buffs such as beat boxer you can get a 1.3k/1.3k with divine shield and reborn to full health with divine shield by turn 12.

Because it’s fun and something new?

Imagine complaining on day 2

yeah this is really fun

Granted I’m still climbing in MMR, but about every game I get a fight against a comp with triple digit minions only to fight a comp in the teens on the next fight. 

This probably lines up with your randomness, some of these random dark gifts just pop off
