New Voucher Card Early Analysis

Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut is a 14-mana legendary card, which makes it one of the highest mana card in all modern cards, just only 2 mana less than Rage, but holly molly, it has a whopping 25 health in total, which makes it the highest among all cards and makes it a very powerful tank, not to mention, it also has 4 armor that further added to its beefiness. In terms of attack and speed, it only has 3 stats on both of those, which is not that powerful, but also not that weak.

When it comes to its abilities, it has Trample at level 1, which allows this card to attack once again when it defeats a card, along with Flank at level 2, which gives any melee units next to it the Reach ability as well as the Inspire ability at level 3 that will give +1 damage on all melee units, including Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut. It also has the Void ability at level 4 that cuts the magic damage in half of its original attack.

Overall, this is a solid tank, but with 14 mana, it is most likely to be used in high mana battles. Also, unlike Tasoshi Drakamoto that is a fire unit, Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut is both a life and dragon unit, which adds more utility to this card, and since it was a gnome, it can also be used by Archons with gnome bloodline and gain new abilities from its Bloodline Dominion.

Compatible Rulesets

Fog of War	With most of the attacks focused on the front, after losing Sneak, Snipe and Opportunity abilities, good luck taking this unit out with how beefy it is.
Heavy Metal	Having 4 armor, makes Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut a decent tank in this ruleset, not because it has large armor but because of his high health.
Up Close & Personal	With only melee units available, Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut will clearly stand out more since it has the Flank ability that can give melee monsters the reach ability.
Might Makes Right	The 3 melee damage of Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut makes him compatible for this ruleset.
Need For Speed	Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut may not be the fastest, but has more than enough speed for this ruleset.
What Doesn't Kill You	Making Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut enrage will not increase its speed but also its melee attack.

With Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut being a dual-element unit, having both life and dragon attributes, it can be used along with many archons as well as can also be mixed and matched along with different elements, making way for different strategies to be born, but among the archons, I think Elias Max Pruitt and Razi Clanktrap has the most synergy to this card.

For instance, Elias Max Pruitt can give it +1 armor that further increases its defense, while the +1 melee, along with its Inspire, will increase its max damage to 5. And since it has the Flank ability, you can just add melee units with high armor and damage, then give them the Armored Strike ability, such as Commander Slade or Leolinn Sifu, that will also get a melee boost.

Meanwhile, with Razi Clanktrap it will gain the Painforge ability that will allow it to gain an increase to its attack when it loses health due to Poison and Burning debilitation, so being used along with units like Cavewise Wayfinder or Water Diviner will make it a lot more stronger. Also, make it a good use case for this card when there is the Noxious Fumes ruleset.

As there was still no formal announcement for the next Voucher card, we still don't know how Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut will be priced, not to mention how much it will cost to participate in the Gold Foil Arcane Fortune Draw and the Black Foil Auction. That said, the previous legendary voucher card, Ulfga the Blighted, cost 1500 Vouchers. I feel that the previous price was too high for the card, given that Tasoshi Drakamoto only costs 250 Vouchers per BCX as an epic card. I just hope they lower the price of the card a bit so even I could have the chance to get it.

Closing

And that is my early analysis for Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut, I think it is a way better and more desirable card compared to Tasoshi Drakamoto- perhaps, the second strongest card in my opinion(For now, I believe Kelan Gaines was still better), but it was still early to say whether it will result for us to be Voucher deflationary.

Thank you, and see you on the next post!
