  • Well hello pack filler. Pretty sure some kind of deathrattle aggro priest will ignore this as well, even if they could replay the deathrattle with Xyrella, the Devout.

  • Strong in Arena, unreliable in Constructed. Could be decent as redundancy in Phylactery Warlock, but Nerubian Egg is probably the better choice.

  • It reminds me of the kobold ghost 5/1. It's just a pack filler, there are more attractive deathrattles out there

  • Bad.

  • Cursed Disciple saw fringe constructed play in Jungle Giants Druid, but it only did because it developed the quest hard. Although Piggyback Imp is a better card than Cursed Disciple, without that utility the latter provides, I don't see a way Piggyback Imp can see play (and like Cursed Disciple, Piggyback Imp is a very decent arena card).

  • Another card I want to like... 1 health kinda sucks. An egg/demon zoo warlock. Deathrattle DH. 

  • Cursed Disciple 2.0. This might be better with it being a mana cheaper, though still will only see play in Arena.

  • Arena play and nothing more.

    • Quote From Swizard

      Bad.

      It's an Imp, of course it is bad.
      Legend as it that there was only ever one good imp, and oh boy was he ever flamboyant!

  • Not quite the Magma Rager of the set, but almost just as fragile.

  • jameson_lol - Discord Emoji

    Prove me wrong, Piggyback Imp.

  • Too easy to remove, despite minions summoning deathrattles typically being very sticky. I'd rather just play Devouring Ectoplasm.

  • If we would continue to play bingo - Neutral Trashy Demon? Check. One can argue about high attack value but beside of this being randomly summoned, there is no reason to use it.

  • Well, it's got deathrattle. Bad stats but deathrattle... nah... won't see play unless spawned off random generation effects or evolve. 

  • I think we've found this expansion's Magma Rager.

  • Not completely awful, but certainly too frail to see any kind of constructed play.

  • Cursed Disciple was actually draftable last rotation. The earlier in game the more likely 1 damage is used. As Arena is concerned it's especially unlikely because the augmerchants are in rotation (idk if rotation or not).

     

    Good stats tho

  • Arena could be a soft taunt for things, but other than that at least the art is cool

  • Not much point to this one. I'm surprised this wasn't a Rager of some sort. I just don't see a double 4/1 minion being worth it right now.

  • Really like it for Arena, the 5/1 for (4) was pretty good there and this is potentially stronger than it.

    Ignore it for Contsructed, of course.

  • Sticky Magma Rager. Probably goes best in Token decks where they're ok with things dying, because this dies to a stiff breeze (actually, two stiff breezes).

  • Pack filler. Only sees play in Arena and in the Magma Rager section of the expansion compendum.

  • Great flavor, but 1 health is super easy to remove, even if it has to be done twice. I can't imagine it seeing much play.
