Non-aggro, you say? I'm pretty sure Face Hunter will use it and will always pick Ring of Tides to copy Aimed Shot. Mid-to-late-game finishers do not need to be all that mana-efficient.

The difficulty doesn't really rise after BRM

Yes the difficulty rises very much AFTER brm. Like Balinda just setting your mercs healts to 1 so they just instant die....

(and dont get me started on popsi *shiver*)

Until the excess coins situation is resolved and they've mentioned it bothers the designers, so we can expect a solution... 

Good joke....at some point you have to realise the words of the designers means nothing.

Heck they even LIE to your face in promotional videos claiming they dont wanna create decks you cant interact with and yet they do exactly that every xpac....

 So if you think they care at all about the coin situation (which they knew about since the creation of merc mode) they dont.

People are constantly complaining about the power level of Priest board clears, so maybe it's a good thing this doesn't impress you. It does what it is supposed to do, and then some, and as you noted, it will definitely see play.

All I want to say is that this card art is wonderful. Blessed be to the underwater expansion for bringing us the best art we've had in years.

Hey, you win some, you lose . . . nothing.

Technically better Arcane Shot. Whether or not Naga synergies work out, this will see play in Questline Hunter.

The important question is - does the questline count it as 2 spells if you damage enemies with it twice?

Also, let's hope there aren't any good odd-costed nagas hunter would want to play otherwise this could easily bring odd hunter back on top in wild.

The wording made me cringe 

Wow deal 2 face deal 2 to minion good for the cost I suppose

They need more select target cards instead of random target

it can't and it's bad. it costs 9 mana and only does stuff if you actually play it from hand, so no recruit tricks.

I wish it said minion instead of enemy.

Blizzard wording consistency strikes again!

This card is Amazing. You just toss it in any non-aggro deck with a lot of spells for good value. All of the options are good. 

I wonder if this makes Spell Priest work

Quote From Caro

I'm still stuck on BRM bounties 😓 so highly doubt I'll be able to get to Onxyia's Lair anytime soon. Guess this is another merc event I'll have to skip... oh well

Quote From Caro

Unfortunately stuck on normal, as embarrassing as it is...but bare in mind I don't spend gold on merc packs, so really struggling to get coins to level up abilities to tier 4 and 5

Also don't spend real money on bundles, coz everyone knows it's a predatory mode... even though that black dragonflight bundle is taunting me every time I open the shop

Don't feel bad, I am in the same boat.
Just a pity it's again gated,

She lacks feet but makes up for it with a mass of tentacles.

Very good, solid and seemingly balanced card. I bet this will see a lot of play, because it has something for literally almost every class and deck.

Ring of Tides is amazing for any slower/value deck, or any combo deck that wants to double up on something. I can see this relic being VERY good in decks like Burn shaman, or normal Questline Shaman. Maybe some druid deck in wild might also be able to use this relic well. There has to be a lot of combo potential with this card. Looking forward to seeing what Markmckz will do with this relic.

Xal'atath is amazing for Aggro Shadow Priest, or some other kind of aggro priest deck. Mainly because of Voidtouched Attendant. Defend the Dwarven District Hunter will also LOVE this relic. This just boosts that decks power in Standard and Wild. (As if it needed to be stronger....)

Horn of Ancients is amazing for almost any deck. It's good in tempo/midrange decks and in slower decks. Getting a cheap collosal minion seems like something that can give you a very powerful turn, which may swing the game in your favor.. or win even harder than you were before... even though it takes some mana for casing Horn of Ancients and the collosal minion, so it doesn't really scam that much mana. Horn of Ancients is still potentially the best option for most decks, because it's just that flexible.

Tidestone of Golganneth is also good if you want to prevent Fatigue dmg or if you want to search for some kind of card that can win you the game. Tidestone of Golganneth seems good in burgle rogue cuz spells of any class, and of course it's a powercrept Deck of Wonders so obviously casino decks in wild will run Queen Azshara just for Tidestone of Golganneth. (At least i will.)

Queen Azshara will see a lot of play, and i really hope she is the free battle pass legendary. (And i hope she has a diamond version of both herself AND the relics. That would probably be some gorgeous art.)

Life finds a way

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

Also please step on me.

That's gonna be difficult considering she has no feet

Hand buffs and board buffs are 2 different things, not buffed up. Most would say the board buff is better since it is instant stats on board instead of in hand where you still have to play the minions and even then they have summoning sickness.
