Talk:Fourth Knight of the Apocalypse, Thanatos/@comment-839017-20151229072031/@comment-24612605-20151229182951

Except Marshall Ein is gimmicky, and Grangadez only costs 2 guage and 2 cards from your hand to call from deck. (You aren't seriously suggesting calling it normally?)

I am just saying that buddies are best when they are low cost with a good skill, 3 guage is not low cost. (The best deck that ran an expensive buddy was sieger, a deck that now runs a no cost version of the boss card)

Yes DDW have guage accel and that Gratos is more late game, most players prefer a buddy that can be called pretty much at any stage of the game. Thanatos has no call and when alongside his fellow black knights has an amazing statline for what is technically a vanilla.
