Insane in arena, but in constructed it is weird

Strange combination of abilities: Why would having a giant scorpion help you find spells?

The battlecry may make it more viable in constructed formats.  However the cost with the ability will keep this mostly an Arena card. 

This isn't a joke, right? I mean, the art of the card is the card in golden.

It doesn't seem terrible. Discovering a spell can be very useful, and the body can be awkward for your opponent to deal with. I just don't think this is something you would put in your deck over something a bit more consistent.

The flavor for some of the cards for this expansion is WEIRD. What do Scorpids have to do with spells? Why does an Undead rocker cost more mana and have more stats than Alextrasza? What do cannons have to do with turning soldiers into secrets? It isn't that big of a deal, but historically they have generally been better about this. 

Stats are really bad for constructed, even having poisonous, it could see play in the first expansion though since there may be not much to go around, I'm thinking mostly a midrange hunter.

Strange card. I wonder if it's just an example or unused idea. As far as I can see, it's an image on a Rewards Track that is probably just a mock-up. The stats and effect are fine, but the theme makes no sense. 

Great card for a beast hunter deck and it's poisonous so the enemy has to clear it .

Looks like a great Arena card.

I could also see it in constructed for Hunters or Druids if we get a convenient way to give beasts rush (in addition to Broomstick)

Perfect for spell hunter

you know insta pick arena cards well this will be one of them and the art is really weird, i wonder because it is venomous it has gloomy look  like that

Designing new cards is easy!

Just put some random abilities on a random body and give it a random name that vaguely fits the theme of the expansion. *dusthands*

M-E-H.

Beast tag at least... Or maybe that's hindering.

Dunno, filler.

It's a Vulpera Scoundrel with a slightly worse effect, but a very good keyword in return. Vulpera Scoundrel saw quite a bit of play so this will too.

Nice art :D

This card makes no sense at all. What is the link to spell generation?

Really nice card,

It's alright. Could see some use.

Definitely where my mind went too.

I really hope this isn't the art. If it is, I sure am glad I am probably just going to stick with secret mage. The card has pretty low stats for a three-drop and it doesn't cheat out the spell but it does discover one so maybe it will see play.

Good card for Arena but I doubt it will make the cut in Ranked outside Beast Hunter/Druid (if these will be a thing)

Great card to discover. Probably alright in Arena/Duels too

I played Vulpera Scoundrel in my decks before. I would definately play this

too expensive ...

Maybe Hunter wants this. A little generation, maybe like a Broom rush/remove (combo draw with the bearded gnome guy). Annoying to have dropped against you, and that kind of thing van be good. 

Won't see play. Discovering a spell is good and all but there are better discover card.

Discovering a spell is nice, but like most poisonous minions, I don't  see this getting a lot of play in standard.  

Very strong arena card, BUT it might see experimentation in standard. After all, this is Vulpera Scoundrels replacement. It might see some kind of play in value/spell Hunter at the very least. Venomous Scorpid will be quite underrated at first, but i'm certain it will see a bunch of play!

The burrow, and if you burrow deep enough, you can find interesting things.

They are shuffling keywords to make new cards. It seems so random.

In Arena, cool, otherwise not so much.

I think this compares pretty favorably with Vulpera Scoundrel, which did see play. Poisonous is a huge boon since it lets the card make favorable trades and can make it awkward for your opponent to play anything. Also, potential infinite combo with Dire Frenzy :D

Strong neutral.

this card is deceptively strong I think

card generation is valuable. if you match up with a class with poor spell removal it can even kill another creature too. it is very valuable for arena

i think this is a strong arena card but not too good for constructed

Still gonig on "Created by" meta.

I like it.

I always love cards like these. Common, discovers, and will trade into anything without divine shield.

If this card never sees play it'll be through no fault of itself. Its just a utility card for so many situations.

Great for arena

Too slow. Overpowered at 1 mana obviously, but 3 is too slow

arena card.

Sooo much spell-beas-hunter support!

Honestly, it's not that bad? Idk what deck wants to run this, but if you randomly generate it or something it's pretty good

While a bit odd, I like this one. It has some good abilities and the poison makes it able to trade well. I will likely play around with this one a bit to find a good fit. 

Strong card, poison and discover a spell. In which deck? I don't know :)

strange card. what is going wrong with the art? i hope it's just displaying badly right now.

Yeah: it was leaked in the Rewards Track article (level 4 reward), but it's yet to be officially revealed.

This is the best we could humanly do for now - when we'll be able to get our hands on a better art, we'll make sure to upload it.

Just like someone else mentioned in the comments, it's pretty much a Vulpera Scoundrel that loses the Mystery Choice in favor of Poisonous and the Beast tag.

I would call this a good but situational card (definitely not a pack filler), but the fact that Hunter is receiving massive Beast support and some sort of convoluted card draw makes me wonder if we're in front of a possible sleeper... ehh, maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Poison is a pretty bad keyword, in almost every scenario. 2/5

Meh card

I would say this is better than Vulpera Scoundrel as it can deal with something afterwards unlike Vulpera.

For some reason, I like this card. It's simple and straightforward. I wish the artwork were more visible.

I think the spell discover is more valuable than the poisonous key word here. It will be a good card to  slot in to help tune a deck against your opponent.

I'm not sure who would use this. It's a beast, so maybe hunter?

Its like a pack filler, but for the random (3) cost beast - I assume

I dislike how good this card is. We'll definitely see it played, after all, in archetypes with healing looking for spell generation.

The flavor just doesn't make sense.

This is likely going to be a near auto-pick in Arena. Therefore, this is a solid 5-star card for me. Also, the winrate of arena decks that include this card are going to be high, yet I don't expect it's going to be frustrating to be playing against this card any time soon and that's a sign of good card design.

This could see play in constructed decks that want to be mostly minions that generate spells to take advantage of cards such as Prince Keleseth, Embiggen, Surrender to Madness, etc.   Maybe we will get a neutral legendary that says:  If your deck has only minions then your spells cast twice.  I'm not writing this one off just yet.

Playable but not overwhelming

good card with discover abilities. I like the flavor

Not likely to be played for its beast tag but might be played as what is almost a strictly better Vulpera Scoundrel. I suppose it isn't impossible for this to be good in hunter but so long as they lack late game removal control hunter is a dream.

Great arena card.

Could work in  a Beast Hunter ... but that`s it except for maybe Arena. 

Overwall pretty meh ...

I really don't get the flavour. But discovering spells is always good.

Fairly decent

Would've prefered this card had rush instead of the discover effect. Ofc that would make the card bonkers. Guess it's kind of Blizzard to give us golden copies of these as the discovered card will also be golden. It's definitely more an arena card and can always slot into any decks if need be.

Decent card in a good spot. Since Primordial Explorer saw play, why not this? Nice summon från Teacher's Pet also.

Indeed likeVulpera Scoundrel and will definitely see play as it has a nice battlecry. Would have made different stats though

Actually not awful. Very good in arena.

Vulpera Scoundrel saw play, and that card is better (poison and tribe>mystery choice), so that card will see some play for sure.

Just a Weird Card, also when was this revealed, I guess I missed it.

cuz scorpions are sources of spells when in the barrens... HS logic at its best lol

Might as well be the next Rager card, only slightly better.

weird card. Just. Weird.

Remarkably playable with that battlecry - it's a huge upgrade over Emperor Cobra - but probably still not good enough to go into most decks.

It's not bad, but it will likely only be used as an Arena card.

This card is completely crazy in design. No real sense in what it does.

Feels like a set filler.

Too slow too random i don't see a deck that would play it.

might be pretty good in some highlander deck

Since the trickster worked previously, I can see this also seeing play in a spell orientated deck. 

Bad lore, meh design, I hope it never sees play

People see a pack filler, I see a tech card that is just a good and universal as Stonehill Defender (not good against the same decks obviously, stonehill was a good anti-aggro tool, this is a great anti-control tool)

Fine arena card. Probably won't see sustained use in constructed play.

Arena skill goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

good card

Scavenging +2/+2 going to be crazy

Hardest card to give an opinion. Its a 3 drop with only 3 health but infinite attack, in theory its better than a 4/3. And it gives you a spell you can choose, so its valuable. At first sight its a good card.

Is the mystery option on vulpera really that good? Cause this seems like a plain better version of it.

A rare card that might see play just for its raw value.

That value card.... the mayor of value town will love this

This is a card arena and a filler in contructed imho

Solid card to put into your deck if you need value after a bunch of the other value cards rotate. It looks like they are toning down the discover options this year so cards like this are actually way more valuable than one would think.

too weak I think

not bad

Meh, at least its free, thx blizz

Cool discover with a nasty threat! And we'll get the golden for free!

Weird card - really can't see it fitting anywhere tbh

good

I'm probably way higher on this card than I should be. I like the Poisonous, I love the Discover effect. It's probably more of an Arena standout than something that will ever make a difference in Standard, but there's always a chance it finds a way in some decks. As much as I hate to say it, I'm not sure if this ever makes the cut in a serious deck.

Kinda meh 

A strong card, so it might be played in Hunter decks given the Beast tag. Really good for Arena as well

Fine removal, but not im many decks after expansion

Cost a bit much for it's effects and body. Prolly only see play in arena.

not bad deck filler

Incredible arena card

Primordial Explorer saw play in Hunter. This fills a similar role but it's a Beast. Some classes should find a reason to play it.

I don't think it will ever see play in a meta deck, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Solid poisonous and discover card.

Such a weird card. I mean, it's good in Arena and might find a place in Constructed if you want spells but would prefer not to have them in your deck (I've had ideas with Starscryer) but what a funky flavour.

Since it's poisonous the attack doesn't really matter.  It's basically as good as emperor cobra, but it also comes with a spell.  Not bad!

This is basically a mix between Vulpera Scoundrel and Primordial Explorer. Venomous Scorpid helps generate value and can trade into any minion, unlike Scoundrel. This almost demands the opponent to have in-hand removal to remove it, which means your Scorpid consumed an in-hand resource while you generated an in hand resource. I think this easily fits into Priest, but I could also see this in other slower decks from other classes since Scorpid is an annoying and resource efficient minion.

This should have been a rogue card and should give poisons instead of random spells.
