To be completely honest, I wasn't even aware of this drop until I saw some tweets about people claiming theirs. I was lucky once again to the drop, even though it was only 6 pieces of the card.
The Goblin Firemage is an epic monster that currently costs $0.86 per piece at the best possible listed price.
I'm guessing the reason for this unusually high price for an Epic monster is because of the recency bias. Then again, it won't be the weirdest thing to happen in this NFT based game, considering Grenadier has been valued at this range for a long time.
Another possible reason for the high price could be the fact that we're still in a Bull market and DEC price hiked along with Hive. Considering Bitcoin just started moving towards $70k, is it possible that we'll see a rise in the value of Hive and invariably the value of this card?
The last reason and one that I'm swaying towards is that it comes with a unique ability called Dispell. Whenever it hits an enemy, it will clear any positive effect on the enemy. This includes effects from fellow monsters and summoners.
Regardless of your level of participation, this monster is a really good addition to your team. If you're a passive player and only Hodl cards for future pumps, I reckon you will be happy with the current value and potential of this card.
Despite being an Epic card, this monster comes equipped with a special ability akin to how the halfling alchemist participates in the game. I expect this monster to be a firm favourite in the game and be used in numerous battles in the newer future.
So if you're a regular player like myself, then you have yourself a monster that could be the deciding factor behind many battles you embark on.
Overall, I say you add this monster to your team if you were unlucky in the airdrop. If you were lucky like me, try to boost it up to a level your summoners can handle. It's an easy choice for me.
