Is the SSR Matikanetannhauser Guts Support Card Good?

Unfortunately, the SSR Matikanetannhauser Support Card is one of the worst SSR cards you can include in your deck, even for its targeted medium-to-long distance races with a Late Surger running style. The most obvious reason is that it’s a Guts card, and Guts is the least important stat in the game.
To make matters worse, none of the skills it provides are particularly good for any running style. Its rare skill, Unruffled, only recovers stamina when surrounded mid-race. The added conditions make it inferior to other rare recovery skills like “Swinging Maestro,” which recovers endurance on a corner for the same SP (Skill Point) cost.
Even after fully uncapping the card, its Training Effectiveness, Race Bonus, and Mood Effect are extremely lackluster. Support Cards are also valued based on their energy-restoring and mood-improving capabilities. SSR Matikanetannhauser has only one event that restores energy or improves mood.
The only scenario in which SSR Matikanetannhauser can be used is if you are planning to create a Guts build to try something radical. If that isn’t what you are interested in, the best use case for SSR Matikanetannhauser cards is to turn them into Rainbow Cleats.
To do this, head into Enhance > Support Cards > Storage. Uncheck “Hide cards needed to uncap.” Select all SSR Matikanetannhauser cards and press convert. Then, go to Shop > Cleat Exchange > Rainbow, and spend your newly acquired Rainbow Cleats on an ‘SR+ Guaranteed Make Debut Ticket.’
