...although Goldy is still interesting. Despite the counter-productive "kotomalchiki," the portal never had decent wards. I don't see this guy in artifacts (even though golems are also artifacts, lol), unless a hyper-aggressive meta emerges, but he might be good in "pups" or in the NEW MIDRANGE ARCHETYPE, especially since there's also Chuzz with a rush strategy. Outside of artifacts, there are no interesting targets for evolution, nor any decent low-mid tier bodies.
The spellboost rune didn't convince me of its viability; Shadow has a good unit already, and it works well with Arcus, but the rest of the set looks mediocre.
I don't think Dragon will suffer, even without Sibyll and Cycerin. I might be wrong, but he's been pushed away from tolerable gameplay.
