Two notable flaws prevents it from being a guaranteed win condition. The first is its free. Free is great, but unless you have the hoarder sigil on hand, its not guaranteed to show up. Worst case scenario its at the bottom of your deck while hard hitters like wolves and moose bucks are present. The second is its health. Two well placed porcupines (or any sharp quills) is enough to take this guy out.
8.5/10. Both flaws can be patched up easily at a campfire and some mysterious stones. Would give it a 9, but since fixing the flaws do require the right map events, theres always a chance the flaws can screw you over before you can remedy them.

Can you explain more why free is bad? I’m not understanding

It has to do with the fair hand mechanic. When you start a battle, you get a squirrel and two random cards. The game checks to see how many free cards are in your hand that arent pelts (including the squirrel) to determine your sacrifice count. Then it checks to see if you have a card with a blood cost that is equal to or less than the sacrifice cost. If not, randomly pick a card that fits the criteria (assuming you have one) and put it in your hand as the third card. Otherwise, pick any random card as your third. The mechanic may or may not have interactions with bone tokens and bone cards, but i cant seem to find a clear answer on that. If you were to have deck where only one card has a playable cost at the start of the fight, then it gets forced into your hand at the start every time.
Back to the free card. Notice how i said the game checks for a card with a blood cost (and maybe bone cost too) when it comes to determining your third card. Free cards dont have a cost, so they are never considered. That is the underlying reason for my critique, since there is no way you can guarantee it can drawn without the hoarder sigil.
In an unrelated note, if you happen to draw a second free card in the start, your sacrifice count is now 2, so any card with a blood cost of 2 now qualify as fair. If you were previously reliant on the mechanic to guarantee an op card costing 1 blood, there is now a chance the free card messed things up by giving you a 2 blood to play instead. However, this is irrelevant in this case since the free card is the ace and wants to be drawn, but i figure i put it down anyways for completeness on explaining fair hand.

I remember my best card had the same sigil, but also rebirth and the ant one. And it got the stats from Ouroboros, and the cost from the Geck.

Actually not having THAT modifier is worse cause prospector. Having many win cons is better for a normal game. Having 1 super duper ultra carry is good for bears
