New Neutral Minion - Guild Trader

Man, Evolved Kobold really didn't age well. NOt sure if you'd put that into any actual deck considering Imprisoned Phoenix is still a thing and no other class desperately craves spell power. that being said, the tradeable definitely saves this.

Maybe rogue can use it with the new Garrote spell?

Meh .... doesn't look that good to me. Will not realy see play i think.

That's a lot of Spell Damage, but 4 mana is a lot. It's basically Evolved Kobold, which only saw play during the Freeze Mage days. I'd rather run Imprisoned Phoenix and set myself up for the future.

Nice spell damage card with a tradeable key word. Could see play in decks wanting to combo the spell damage with a later spell.

1 star for the 2+ spell damage. 4 stars because its tradeable.

Maybe in miracle rogue, then you can get out more damage out of your [Hearthstone Card (stab (rank 2)) Not Found]. But mostly you'll just be cycling this along for 1 card.

One of the worst tradeable cards, just not very good by itself.

Just a good card.  Making it tradeable is going to be nuts.  The idea of holding onto it after you re-draw it for a board clear and then dropping it for 1 mana and doing something bad after that is just too good to not like this card

I don't see many decks want to play this for the spell damage.  Using the dormant phoenix gives you a better chance as you can set up for future plays and  be assured that spell damage buff will be on board when you have the mana to play your desired spells.

The tradable makes it a 3 star instead of 2. I'm not a spell power player so I don't think I'll play this but still I think it is better than most think.

Weak.

Good enough for the next year... Not now though.

Tradeable cards are considered Tech cards. It feels strange to see a Spell Damage tech card, I am so confused.

Tradable is what saves this card, otherwise Shaman and Mage would rather play Imprisoned Phoenix.

too poor ... one star + one star because tradable

So, they also printed Prestor's Pyromancer... which given is 2 less mana, but without tradeable... IDK, I feel this card is good, but not something worth a space in any deck.

It won't see play. 4 mana means you won't be able to combo a lot of spells off of this on the turn you play it. And 4 health means it probably won't survive until your next turn. The tradeable keyword is a nice touch, but a bad card is just a bad card whether I draw it now or later.

Seems like a hard card to get down at 4 mana. 

I guess you would trade this when you aren't in a position to take advantage of the spell damage. I guess it's okay, I don't think tradeable can make a card worse.

You don't include this in your deck, but you can discover it with Primordial Studies and then trade it for something else in your deck. 

I don't know, i never liked this 4 mana +2 spell damage, usually they were mostly for memes

Better Evolved Kobold but its still a pack filler.

Not bad but the effect is quite basic for it to take up a tradeable card. It'll probably see play in some spell heavy deck like quest mage or an OTK combo deck and arena, but that's it

Spell Dmg +1 used to be already a big deal - now +2 is ''common'' - time changed 

Too expensive atm, but these cards can sometimes surprise. THe tradeble gives it a nice consistancy at least. And you can draw a new card whenever a random generator gives you this.

I don't know. I have a feeling that people might be underestimating this card. Evolved Kobold didn't get played until you had lethal with burst combined with the +2 spell damage the kobold gave you. In the meantime, Guild Trader can help you find more urgent cards and thin out your deck. It also has much better stats in case you need to play it in a pinch. I really think this might be a sleeper.

Wow, I think with the spell scholls we don't get more plain spell damage support, but I am glad to see it

Nice stats and decent amount of + Spell Damage, with the added versatility of being tradeable when there are no spells to play. Might see some play in Shaman or Mage decks

I feel like I remember Evolved Kobold getting run in some combos, and this is just objectively better than that in every way. I wouldn't count this one out yet.
