  • Now I don't think this will lead to anything, but the applications this has in Hunter with all the handbuffing and shuffle stuff is undeniable. Drawing it of Ingenuity and then playing two 4/5 on turn 3 (with coin) sounds like a big boy play.

  • How long can this go on?

    Super strong Arena card. Also interesting for Taunt Warrior in Wild with cards like Fire Plume's Heart and Into the Fray.

  • Why would you want this? Seems like filler or maybe there's some Duels shenanigans this can work with. Not sure.

  • This is stronger than it looks. Fills your hand for handlock, extra minions for handbuff, decent early taunts for anti-aggro. Solid card.

  • Handbuff, handvalue. Taunt.

    The only thing you need to dodge is getting it in the mulligan.

    And that's easy enough that there's no reason not to just include it in.

    Interesting that handlock might actually run it because that's basically allowing you to make a 8/6 on 3. But if you need a taunt minion, this is a really good one.

  • Actually quite good, lots of resources on a decently statted body.

  • This is an interesting card to consider. Full value demands that you don't keep this in your mulligan, but can you count on drawing it turn 1 or turn 2? I know there are some beast tutor cards, but the classes with  those want to aggro out, not taunt up. Maybe  Hunter can try to  draw this with one of its tutor/buff cards for extra stats. I think it will see play somewhere.

  • Arena has infinite value for this.  HAndlock, KIND of... but anywhere that you can buff either your hand and/or your deck is where this will shine

    Really interesting mechanic. Maybe the card itself just allow to play some meme decks but that mechanic opens a door for future cards design.

     

    And, obviously, River Crocolisk powercreep.

  • Great target for Northshire Farmer for when you're not playing the Boar game. Imagine if this card was Tradeable?!?!?!

  • Wow this is so good for handbuff and wild quest.

  • This may work in handlock or handbuff.. Interesting concept.

  • A sleeper hit of the expansion, double dips Handbuffs, Control loves putting up speed bumps against aggro, and there's even some combo potential with Aegwynn.

  • interesting mechanic. Not sure if worth in meta standard

  • Worse Saronite Chain Gang, but decent value 2-for-1 card. Worth it in non-constructed game modes.

  • Handlock is a potential. It protecc. I wonder if it'd would work in Kiblers taunt druid deck?

  • "Now I can pick up EVERY knick-knack."

  • VALUE! Look for this in taunt beast Druid. Number 1!

  • It's like putting 4 copies of the same card in your deck and having a 32 card deck. I doubt this is the kind of card you want 4 copies of though. Okay, not a perfect analogy.

  • Maybe some decks want this, but nothing to write home about

  • Very interesting effect. The only time you don't get a copy is when it's in your mulligan hand. This taunt could find it's way into a variety of decks like hand buff paladin, handlock and maybe even a token druid as this minion is a beast

  • Seems bad but it does have a lot going for it. Maybe useful in this taunt druid archetype? Also it might fit into handlock just so they get a full hand faster. Seems interesting honestly, but im not sure how well its going to perform.

  • With a good deck buffing deck, this would be really good in Druid, Hunter and even in some form of control Handbuff Paladin.

    You get the copy if drawn with Bannerman, so... automatic 2, 2 mana 3/4 taunts in hand. Really good, not shinny and spicy, but good enough.

  • Very interesting with Northshire Farmer, Selective Breeder but more on Warsong Wrangler shenanigans

  • Only really useful if drawn early against aggro, and even then it's nothing crazy. Don't see much potential in this card

  • I don't know if this is the intended interaction, but this didn't gain buffs when drawn for me. By which I mean, I drew it using the Druid spell that lowers its Cost, and only one the original was lowered to 0 mana - the copy happened before the buff.

    Really sours me on its capabilities, unfortunately, because it means it's not as powerful for Hunter to draw with Ingenuity (as an example).
