Snapdragon is the new keleseth. Except it has virtually no downside and cost one more.

Can't wait to make another keleseth rogue out of it.

Bubbler - Just not worth it. Not even in silence decks. I would respect this more if its stats are swapped so it can be some sort of anti control card. Unless or course, that Im misunderstanding how this works, and its not ANY damage, its literally ONE damage to kill it immediately. 2 damage will bizarrely leave it alive for more.

Coilfang Constrictor - Probably useless. Hand reading is a nice thing to have, but I think its fairly overestimated most of the time as an advantage. Being able to stop the opponent's possible play for a turn is nice, but not nice enough to cost one card slot. The only way this ever sees play is in an aggro deck and the meta turns to control.

The reveal schedule looks like it's all Twitter. Not sharing the spotlight with any other content creators this time, eh? 

On first look, that's a lot of stats for an 8 drop. Your opponent will never be able to clear everything without an AoE and then if they kill the head then its just a one sided Twisting Nether.

But very likely this card is just shit. 8 mana do nothing is bad enough. 8 mana, fill your board with 1/3s with no taunt and no possibility to even play something like broom, its just inviting death to your face on a platter. It gets worse against shaman because of its colossal size, which they will happily skip your next 4 turns with.

So all in all, what is this card even supposed to accomplish? The only hope for it is via mana cheat and rez shenanigans, or unless you have an easy way to kill the head. But if you do, then all you're doing is just an 8+ mana board clear costing 2 or more cards. Of course there's always the chance that you're not dead on board the next turn when you play this, but is this really a better card than the many 8 drops around in standard right now?

worst onyxia

Is there a way to filter by latest cards released?

The "actually" was more in response to myself thinking "60%, is it really that bad?" and it turned out to be even worse (slightly). Your estimate was pretty accurate.

I wouldn't be so hasty in evaluating this. It's Neutral, that opens up more cheating possibilities. I don't know what that could be, but there must be some synergy we're not seeing yet.

It loots of stats for 8 Mana. With any kind of buff (like Druid ones) it is A LOT of stats.
It is maybe not best card but it is many bodies for 8 Mana.
I sometimes play Hunter with Pharaon Mask quest. I will use this there (lots of bodies and stats).

So they might be aware in general (just like with Duels Brann's Hero Power), but apparently reluctant to publicly list all potential disconnect causes in case somebody finds a way to abuse that even more. 

deathrattle triggers to nuke 6 for around 9 mana

This looks really really bad. Like...what is the point of this in any deck outside of annoying the opponent with limp tentacles.

The best case scenario is plpaying it in Token Druid with Heart of the Wild because it's all beasts...

It's a better onyxia if there's two big threats, less so if you need to spread your damage out

I guess the idea would be that they might not have the means to kill all the tentacles before the main dude and so you're always get some kills in...but that sounds so contrived. Like....he's literally worth more in stats than as an actual effect

Pretty cool card (and good artwork)

but unless got elemental synergies feels like a worse raidboss onyxia overall at 10 mana

So if sees play i feel like its gonna be due elemental synergies or where can afford it and a 2nd Onyxia  is still usefull

This just seems bad....like a worse Gigafin. Do the Tentacles literally have no other function? Because if not then what even is the point? It's too expensive for token decks, too expensive for Rogue shenanigans (it doesn't work with Sketchy Information or Smokescreen) and even Big Beast Hunter probably doesn't care unless you pull it from a harpoon or Sunken Saber it's too slow to do anything...and even if you get it just fucks your rez pool because every arm is a seperate Beast to pull from Revive Pet.

Trash I think unless there's an additional gimmick

so ... his tentacles have to remain alive to destroy enemies as deathrattle ... but why the enemies have not killed the tentacles before going for him? don't see too much use of him ...

5-star Druid Legendary lmao

Good luck beating them once they hit 10-mana (aka on turn 7 usually)

I can't believe they didn't even mention Mercenaries, this is supposed to be major patch for few of us still playing that forgotten mode...

Avalon, can you tell me the winning lotery numbers for next saturday? Your predictions are on point!

Can't wait to put this into Handlock.

On a serious note, good luck against Druids, they can play Onyxia twice now lmao.

Seems terrible. There are only a few edge cases in which you actually care about what your opponent will play on a specific turn. in all other instances it's just a vanilla 5/4.

Okani is good because the effect persists if not dealt with. This is just "okay, I guess I'll play something else then".

I mean sure, against Combo decks you can delay whatever they want to do byy a turn, but even then you just spent 4-mana just to maybe get another shot next turn. It won't save you and it's certainly not worth sacrificing a deckslot for

Could be really broken in Arena though. the ability to just completely ruin your opponent's curve while also scouting their hand is pretty nuts there.
