Depends a bit on the alternatives a player has available. For a player with few golds, Moonvine is actually a pretty decent unit. And Moonvine and Tachibana put together make for a decent start on a trigger-squad. At least, they're part of the setup I used to start mine shortly after I got Fritillaria: Moonvine + Tachibana + Cymbidium. Geranium and Cyrtanthus came a bit later. Tachibana is still part of the team, since I didn't get a good replacement yet.
