Dream weavers performs very well for me into all popper matchups, there will always be a moment where they've expended all of their armor where you can use dreamweavers for full value. sadly, i feel you need to run gamblers into brutes, to minimize chances of just losing to a die roll. i hate it.
commenting the correct % because i just can't help myself: If you both have gamblers and you force them to reroll any 4-6 while they only reroll 1s, they have a 37.5% chance to get 2+ APs (vs a 58% if only they have gamblers)
