It's really hard to think of content specially when you only have limited amount of time per day.
In light of that wonderful idea, I decided to start, "Card Spotlight." It's kind of like the card contest. It highlights all the strengths, weakness, combos, etc. of a specific card. This would be the start of Card Spotlight Series.

Rental/Buy Cost ||
At rental cost of 11.97 dec per day or buy cost of $59.00, this card is still fairly cheap. New players might find this steep but honestly, this is affordable based on the fact that this is a legendary card and has amazing stats and effect. It would surely be a good tank specially since magic damage is apparent throughout the season.
Card Stats ||
Damage: 3
Speed: 3
Armor: 8
Health: 9
It has amazing stats overall. with a combined 8 armor and 9 health, you will need a total of 17 damage in order to kill this card. That's huge. If you are to attack this with, say, the Kraken, which is one of the strongest card in the game, the kraken has 4 damage. It would need him to hit this card 5 times in order to kill it. That's really strong for a card that you only rented for around 12 dec.
Card Effect ||
Void: Halves magic damage. If magic damage is 1 before the effect applies, it becomes 0.
Divine Shield: Does not take any damage for 1 attack.
Both strong abilities and proper for a tank. So, even if, let's just say, your opponent would damage him by 4, it would be negated at one time.
That's good for tanks since tank is your main front line and defends all those creatures you have that has low life. Void ability is great specially due to the rampant appearances of magic damage throughout the season.
Strengths Weaknesses ||
Positioning ||
You can use him both as a tank and as an off tank. This means placing him either on the 1st or 2nd position. Of course, if there's rulings like, "opportunist" which gives everyone opportunity effect, you can place him at any position. However, due to high armor and health, 1st position would be the most advantageous for him.
Compatibility ||
Any deck complements this card. With him being in the dragon clan, you can literally use him on any builds. Dragons are like secondary neutrals. You can use them whether it is fire, water, earth, light or death.

Final Thoughts
With all the evidences that we gathered, we could say that this is a very strong card and very effective specially against mages. Due to Robo-Dragon Knight's void ability and high health and armor, this is exceptional when partnered with an ability that decreases magic damage, like silence.
However, even if without a good partner, it is a good card overall and is exceptional as a front tank.
All in all, I would give it...
It is exceptional, yes. However, due to high mana cost, and a requirement that you must use a dragon summoner for it, I would not give it a full score.
Right now, the card can be rented cheap but I cannot say that would stay the same as we go towards the end of the season. If you want to try it now, I suggest to do it now while it's still affordable.
