Cpt.Nojaw is not arguing that Baal's skill is superior but he's saying a team using Baal instead of Icicle ultimately gives the same exact performance as using Icicle, which it does. The better defense is barely noticeable, because once you have 2 buffs activated by Icicle, max stat GUR cards will have near-max defense, only take a few hundred more points of damage than when the card's DEF is completely maxed by buffs. If you're using a team that isn't GUR and maxed, however, the better defense boost from Baal is more useful.
