From the article - http://www.cardgamed...ew-dragon-r2110

 

I Fight Dragons – 3/5
I feel that right now, the Seeker of Enlightenment is a little random in terms of its value; either it’s an insane stats for cost coming in right after a low ring claim turn, or it’s a 2/2 or 3/3 after a more standard turn which is just okay. In the future, when more “monks that put fate on rings to do stuff” cards are available, she’ll have a nice home in that deck as a powerhouse 2 coster.
 
Kingsley – 2/5
Seeker of Enlightenment is a strong effect under the right circumstances, but those circumstances will not always arise. Further, her stats get lower as rings with fate on them get claimed, which isn't great. Yes, it's great value in those low-conflict games with 4+ fate on rings, but I don't think that reliably happens enough in order to power her up, nor are there enough cards that spend fate to rings right now to allow her to be strong in high-conflict games. This might be too low a rating, as I do think she might get better in the future with more Monk synergy, but at least for now I'm unimpressed. (Also, that's a really modern-looking haircut she's got there...)
 
Grendel – 3/5
Can get way bigger than 2 cost character should, has some in synergy with various monk effects but on the play it’s pretty bad and how quick it’s value can change leaves something to be desired in the long the run.
 
Benjoewoo – 3/5
Not necessarily a bad card, but overshadowed by the fact there are only 3 cards that currently spend fate to rings, one of which is not useful in core only. If Dragon continue to get ring fate manipulation tech, this card can be good. As it is now, she’s often a 2/2 or 3/3, and so not particularly efficient.
 
nyxnyxnyx - 2/5
Pretty terrible. On average I guess you can expect between 1-2 fate on unclaimed rings at the end of turn 1, and likely 0-1 by the time the second conflict rolls around. With the other effects that put fate on unclaimed rings you get some bonus ‘synergy’ but it’s pretty forced and costly since to make use of her extra skill you would need to forgo the additional fate on those rings by contesting another ring instead.
