@Bbdabest no, it does. It's understandable for the older servants to have weird kits like Asterios being a zerker with a normal BBB deck but an arts debuff type NP, but modern servants are better designed now to entice the gameplay-focused players into rolling for them.

Like what Seybah said, Shikibu is only the second caster ever to have a QQAAB deck.

As mentioned it makes sense that Skaadi has one due to being quick support, however Shikibu has a utility skillset with nothing related to quick performance, buffs, or criticals.

The odd thing is simply that unlike Skaadi there is no clear benefit for Shikibu to have two quick cards, since quick cards = generating crits but casters usually prefer QAAAB decks for easier arts chains and the handful of casters that have QAABB decks have skills that clearly show they're offensively oriented.
