But will it survive to next turn? Nice zoo card otherwise
-=alfi=-
Zoolock has always been my go to warlock deck, looks promising, but not too many 1-drops I'd rather pull than play
4 Mana 7/7
Not sure this will be too great. It could be but if it dies the turn it comes down then it is a super weak play.
Too slow to see in zoo I think
Looks like shit. Most of the good Zoo minions have useful battlecries.
This would be more useful in Hunter
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I guess you'd be hoping for the big boddies with a battlecry down-side.
makes your draws better and swarms the board if uncontested. Good choice for zoo warlocks
Best caravan of them all. But not good.
Dunno I dont like this caravan
another 1/3 with good effect ... until it survives
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Sadly not great. Would've loved to see the caravens be good.
These caravans are amazing... IF they can survive a turn
Are there caravans for every class? I've seen 3 so far. I doubt any of them will be good enough to play.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
Quite good for an aggro warlock deck
nah. even if it triggers, it is not a very good effect
Probably the best of the Caravan cards, amazing minion if it sticks. Very solid.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Decent for Zoolock, but I can't see this triggering before it is removed.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
Doubt it could survive but guess we will have to see if its viable will probably be in zoolock
If this sticks, it'll be insane for zoolock.
Gotta protect it to get the value, but that's pretty good value if it sticks. Zoo almost certainly jams two of these into the deck. Probably unlikely that it sees play in any other deck, so it all depends on how good Zoo is.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
One of the better caravans as summoning a 1 cost minion from your deck is very strong. But I don't see this being played much simply because start of turn effects are unreliable and easy to disrupt.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
another caravan another fail card for me
Can it survive more than 1 turn?
Rogue DH
good
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Zoolock support!
can even zoo use this?
still good for thining the deck
It would definitely stick, because most of the time, Zoo plays a 1-drop on turn 1. It will trade and this will stick. If they use hard removal on this, that's also fine.
OBLIVION!
Nah
decent on curve but hard to make it stick
Not sure this will be a better play than others warlock has available right now
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Idk I think it'll be too slow
Nice
I'm starting to sound like a broken record but all of these caravans are just too slow. I think this one is the best one though.
Nice, this is one of the best caravans I think.
well you'd need selective 1 drops like Flame Imp or Possessed Villager so might see play in some sort of zoo. Maybe.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Terrible, you don't want this in zoo.
These caravans are sooo slow.. and fragile!
Nice effect maybe will see play ?Just dont play minions with battlecry
Looking to draw that 1-cost neutral Give +1 health card
Good card for zoo IF you can get it to stick. Capitalized, because that's a big if! Although may be able to force opponents to use removal to prevent this from snowballing, which is sometimes worthwhile...
Maybe can be used in zoo, but hell no. It's too slow and 2 cost card with 3 health and action on next turn is easy to lose.
We can say that it fulfills the role of thinning your deck. But nothing else, too slow for aggro/token Warlock and not a thing in wild.
I hope I'm wrong but... filler?
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
This can be kinda insane if it lives one turn. But that is quite an if.
Support for portal deck. Slow for aggro
Nope.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
put it behind a taunt
This is the least bad of the caravan cards. Empty Warlock will definitely run it, and many others will too. The possibility of grabbing a Flame Imp is more than enough to make it worthwhile.
Too slow just like all the other caravans.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Needs better 1 drops but still ok
The cheating-out of cheap minions is something Zoolock would want to do, but having it occur on a non-aggressive body and as a delayed effect will make Apothecary's Caravan something Zoolock doesn't want to run.
For glory, honor, and gold!
New era of Zoo lock incoming)
Decent, but only good with 1 Mana Deathrattles or beefy stat minions. Who wants to waste Battlecries?
It's a low tempo play in a format that's about to have only a few 1-drops you'd really want to get without their battlecries. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does suggest to me that this won't see play without another expansion or two.
Plot twist : it did not survived for your next turn - better luck next match!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Summoning a minion for free is often good, but I just don't know with this card. It seems slow for the game plan it appears to be pushing. I have to say I'm not too hyped with these caravan cards given the prevalence of rush minions.
if this sticks this will snowball hard
Not very optimistic about the caravan cards - they're probably really unlikely to survive till the next turn. Also a very non aggressive statline for a zoodeck which it's supposed to belong to.
Agreed !
Don't think it will be played a lot
I'm not online it's just your imagination
These caravans are amazing tutor cards!
Caravan bad
Agreed, and yet it's unlikely to see play since Zoo would be the only logical home for this and it sure doesn't want to play a 1/3 on Turn 2.
Deckthinning for the self-mill archetype? Even that doesn't seem likely.
Good card if it procs at least once.
Meh ... to weak to see play.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Play this card, it dies, then what?
That's the problem of all the caravans and this one is no better. Unlike Tinyfin's Caravan, this card has no niche since warlock can already draw, so what's the point of running something like this? Even if it triggers, its only going to get you a free 1 drop, which is honestly not worth all the trouble.
2 mana 1/3 do nothing
Can be good in zoo it can protect the more important minions.
Could be interesting for zoolock. Flame Imp's new bestest friend.
If Zoolock plays some board buffs, or maybe they don't find any better turn 2, sure why not ? It's not a bad card.
The only decent Caravan I think, zoo might take advantage of this

Thats the only caravan i have a little hope for. There is so much minions you want to trade first in warlock that this can survive a little. Plus the board control in warlock zoo is pretty easy to archieve so the opponent will have to use ressources to kill it fast.
But still, i dont like any of the caravans and i'm afraid this wont see play too.
Murlocs <3
All caravans looks weak, i'm disapointed. :(
By The Holy Light!
good
Eh, probably not worth it. Pulling a 1-drop sounds nice, but idk, seems like even when this procs, you've played a slower Skydiving Instructor.
Better than most caravans
Ribbit
This card is playable in Zoo theoretically...but in that deck you have stronger card. Also you must protect this card to get some value from it and it's not so simple
Very powerful if it manages to survive, deck thinner that can summon your imps without damage you
Getting it to stay on the board will be the difference between whether this is good or not as is the same for all the caravans.
Zoolock and Self mill warlock
Well, good for summoning Flame Imp for zoolock, but seems a bit slow on the other hand.
♡ u 4ever 2008 - 2022
No, just not worth it. Way too slow and will not stick
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
All of these Caravan cards seem like junk. Maybe the effect goes off if you play it on turn two. Highly unlikely if you play it later, unless you're already winning anyway.
i just hate these caravan cards.
Looking to be a strong card in Zoo decks, might actually see some play
Good in Zoo if nothing else, but I'm not convinced since its tempo is so bad and it doesn't let you get battlecry effects.
I like the caravan cards. They seem like a nice little nod to the Barrens theme. Strange that Blizzard didn't feel the need to call them out as a part of the expansion specific highlights. Does this mean they will be a theme through the rest of the year with other classes getting theirs in as well?
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
How many 1-drops is zoolock playing that they wouldn't rather trigger their battlecry?
Could see some play in zoolock if the 2-drop slot isn't very contested. But between Nerubian Egg and Bonechewer Brawler (just two examples that popped into my head), the competition is too fierce for Apothecary's Caravan to see play. Pulling off a Flame Imp is nice though.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Of the caravans, this might be the best. Unfortunately, it's still only 2 stars, because even with Core set and rotation, I don't think most classes will have any problems removing a 3 health minion on turn 2. Though that might be worthwhile for taking removal that might've been used on your Darkglare.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Very meh
Annoying for opponents but can it survive
good card
Too weak, too slow, and too low impact even when it works.
Caravans are bad.
caravan = bad
Good if just could stay alive!
For The HORDE!
Not a fan of these caravans cards. All seem two slow and understated
This is the one Caravan that might actually see play, because that effect is amazing in a Zoo deck. They can also theoretically buff it a bit to help pull it out of range.
Welcome to the site!
As with all of the caravan cards the usefulness of this card depends on how often it's able to survive until the next turn.
All the Caravans suffer from the same problem: not enough health to ensure they will stick around, and triggering at the start of turn.
Strange card. Could be good for zoo but weak stats. Not sure it'll stick around.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
Hard to protect and the payoff is a 1 mana card. Bad card.
zoolock value
It won't live to give value.
If it survives, then sure, it is okay. Has the highest out of all the caravans, as warlock aggro usually plays cards on turn 1 which would protect this.
