Soooo... Evasive is becoming a keyword next expansion, yeah?
A man is lying on the street, some punks chopped off his head
I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
Maybe, really depends on the blizzard's dictionary, if they willingly to update it or not
pretty good in arena, fairly average elsewhere.
Hunter doesn't need it so I don't see it in Constructed
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
They should've named them "Elusive" to trigger everyone who wants Elusive to be a keyword. Calling it "Evasive" is already lampshading it.
But please, this is just begging for it to be keyworded.
Very nice arena card, but I don't see it making the cut for constructed.
Deathstalker Rexxar just got a very nice zombeast tool though!
great card. poisonous with evasive is dangerous
Gonna be really good in arena. If only Deathstalker Rexxar was still around in Standard.
pack filler, honestly. pretty good in arena though
Gets still picked up by Paladin and Rogue HP.

If this were a Dragon it would be even crazier, being a Beast means its going to see less play, at least at the start of the expansion. This will likely be an Arena all star. Cool card, great art.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
Good card, but not good enough seeing the rest of the cards (:
Deathstalker Rexxar thanks you
Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
Decent but probably not good enough for Constructed. It's good in Arena if played early on when your opponent has no minions or after you kill their stuff. Stoneskin Basilisk and Giant Wasp are still better poison minions though.
"True mastery takes dedication."
Getting this as a random 2 drop on your board thanks to RNG from lackey or other cards can do alot of work.
Interesting! Evasive and poisonous! 4 stars!!!
won't show up in his pool because Posion is a keyword and Evasive is still considered as card text and beasts with both of those don't work for his hero power
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Decent in standard since it can’t be pinged, terrifying in wild because of Deathstalker though
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
I reckon they named the 3 evasive cards just to mess with the people asking for the keyword. Somewhere at Second Dinner Ben Brode is laughing up an earthquake right now.
i like this card just because it cant be targeted. Is this the set with the most creatures with this effect?
It feels like minions with the effect doubled in 1 set.
Weird statline. Probably won't see play in Constructed.
Hello Pit Snake's big brother. We don't care that you have slightly bigger body and two heads, you are 2/1 even this Stubborn Gastropod has more health than you.
Jokes aside, Good for [Hearthstone Card (Deathstalker Rexxar,) Not Found] Nice for card generators but not enough to be a part of a ladder (or any) deck.
Still, I'm happy it exists for card generators and random effects.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
At least this forces an AOE.
Sorry, Mage.
I think this card has potential to be a sleeper, just like Stubborn Gastropod.
Rexxar does not include beasts aside from when he was in standard and behind.
This is because of multi-language maintenance.
Forces your opponent to answer it with a minion-trade or an AoE; not bad. Better in Arena, though, where relevant spells are even less prevalent.
Poison and evasion together is very potent, but with only 1 health and no rush your opponent will frequently trade their worst minion into this. It's hard to see how this has a lot of impact, but maybe it's useful in arena?
this is probably good in arena..but other than that its a dusty card..
Pack filler.
decent arena card, no more.. many classes got ways to deal 1 damage without spells or mage's hero power.
I have a feeling this card will be very frustrating for your opponent. If you play this while there aren't any minions on your opponent's side of the field, then they can't really do anything to deal with this, they will have to play a minion and let you poison it. I really like blizzards use of Evasive in this set, it makes vanilla minions, or otherwise bad minions worth considering. If nothing else, this will be a fantastic arena card.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I don't buy it - there are a TON of "no target" spells/abilities that do 1 dmg or more - far too many ways to kill this effectively. Arena? Sure. DK Rexxar? Loves it. Standard - (X) Doubt
Is not good enough to see play in constructed, is just there to make things awkward when randomly generated
Good arena card but it's average elsewhere. So it's probably strong enough to be seen in standard/wild
Interesting card. We had similar ones in the past with Stealth and Divine Shield, and those minions never saw play. So this one probably won't either. The 2 attack is funny though, better SMOrc potential :p
Cool stats, but hard countered by things like Springpaw
Will definitely be frustrating and awkward the little time it's randomly generated. Evasive does make more sense than elusive.
An annoying arena card, but you will never see it in contructed.
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
pack filler, not impressed for this one, although not a crappy one
wow. now this card is FUN. poisonous that can't be removed except by killing it. insane
Shouldn't see any play in constructed since it only has one health.
More dragons? Yes please!
Pack filler, but its a little annoying in arena.
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
nice pack filler that forces a trade I see this being used in control decks and maybe aggro? but it might not get used at all
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
Very dangerous! Still, as a 2 mana poisonous minion I prefer the Stubborn Gastropod.
Like most poisonous minions, good card for Arena, unnecessary anywhere else.
But can be targeted by rogue's dagger... Weak, not worth to play at all
Nice arena card, since it is immune to ping effects. Apparently, this card won't see play in constructed.
The Arena/Pack filler square on my bingo grid is way over stamped
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Two heads both bite for 1 damage poisonous ok flavour
It might be played early to prevent a strong turn from an opponent but i'm sure we'll not see this on ladder. It might be a tech card for a beast hunter in a specific meta but i believe there are always stronger options.
…I’m not even going to…So yeah the Poisonous makes this quite threatening. Probably secures one favorable trade before it dies, but probably like Stubborn Gastropod is more suited to arena than ladder. Notably it does have the Beast tag, so it has implications for Deathstalker Rexxar.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
Annoying to deal with for sure but 1 health is pretty easy for it to die to AOE or just small tokens
Annoying with the evasive effect, but I don’t think we’ll se much of it.
Wasn't Stubborn Gastropod only played of rexxars zombeast hero power?
I really can't remember any poison minions being played outside of that hero power and the magnetise mech in hunter. Might be because of all the pings in the game and easy removal. Rogue and druid can deal with this easy, and paladin forces you to keep clearing 1/1's to save this guy.
I can't see this played in any constructed format... In arena though, barring you're not facing a rogue or a druid, it should be pretty good.
Elders Scrolls : Legends / Runeterra
Arena card. There are much better 2 drops for standard.
Just make evasive a key word OK? More of an arena card.
The fact it can't be targeted by spells and hero powers makes this card pretty strong. If you want to remove it either use some AOE or sacrifice one of your minions (unless it has divine shield). Definitely a very good card.
1 health means this has no chance to be played. Evasive (why is this not a keyword anyway?) doesn't help at all.
Fun and interactive game.
definitely too weak for constructed
I like it for many reasons, probably will not make it to any deck but maybe some agro hunter will appreciate it?
So instead of using Elusive as a keyword, they just added Evasive to cards names??!
Pack filler that is decent in arena.
