ah shit you're right. I guess that does make it better even though I still think it might be too slow compared to what other decks are capable of in that timeframe.

Or a quest mage

Overrated and will be part of the meme token DH build

i know its even worse,imagine your a buff paladin

So now we have a 13 mana giant. More expensive than anything other than Molten Giant and Shirvallah, the Tiger. It shouldn't be hard to get this guy down to 0 mana.

Nice. All four hero powers are quite strong, but unfortunately the current one might not be the best one for your situation, and you can't just press the fire one until your opponent dies. Being able to pick any two when this is first played should have a big impact as well.

Interesting idea for sure. Obvious move would be to play this when the other player has a good amount of attack on the board to hopefully buy you another turn.

This might be ok. Unfortunately this is a deathrattle, so the opponent has more control over when it goes off. Maybe you can get this off of Call of the Grave or Sketchy Information.

Seems weak but an alright pick in Arena

That's really good to know about Brann and Siamat! Thanks!!!

Not saying the OTK is competitively viable (I certainly hope it's not... my favorite games of all time were Rise of Shadows Control Warrior mirrors), I'm just double-checking that it's possible. :) It actually doesn't include Brilliant Macaw... instead, it's based on the idea that whenever Bolner repeats Bru'kan's battlecry, you'll always be able to choose from among all of his hero powers. If that's true, then basically, every single battlecry you play that turn can include a Fireball to face (since the Fire Invocation HP always goes face), which means a ton of cheap battlecries that you play on the same turn as Bru'kan = a ton of Fireballs to face.

Its probably not good in ranked. 3 attack is fine, but past turn 6 most things can survive it and priest isn't really lacking in clear options right now. Even something like Hysteria will easily do better than this card, and if board swings are needed then Xyrella is a more consistent option.

The one niche it has is its interaction with Apotheosis, but samuro can do the same and likely be more consistent at it too, because the combo with this card requires 9 mana or somehow a contrivance to survive past the turn you played it.

Unless we suddenly get an undead tag on this thing, I don't see what this can offer better cards cannot.

Dreadlich Tamsin might have one of the worst art designs in Hearthstone imo. Looks they just freeze framed the cinematic, cut her out in MSPaint, and put her on a gray background and called it a day.

I do not think Tunnel Blaster is very good in a meta with Pirate Warrior. Even if you do play this card against a Pirate Warrior and manage to clear, they still have Shiver Their Timbers!, infinite weapons, reach, and minions. It is going to take a real win condition (and cards stronger than an mediocre taunt) for Priest to beat Pirate Warrior because grinding through an opponents deck is simply not a viable win condition anymore.

That's a fun new (1) drop to bring a little more diversity to that pool, and as it is neutral, we may see lots of experimentation with this one.

Also staple for Handbuff shenanigans

In most cases it is a 5 mana 6/6 which removes a small minion as well, but you may have to hold on to it to make the most of its potential, which doesn't seems too tempo/powerful

Considering amounts of hunters and paladins on ladder, might do. It totally depends on how meta shifts after the release 

Siamat works exactly like that with Brann. Also, the Bolner doesn't actually trigger Battlercies like Brann does, he recasts them. So, his effect is closer to Shudderwock. Also, Brilliant Macaw doesn't let you pick targets if you recast something like The Lurker Below, so this OTK flat-out doesn't work.

That could be true--I haven't used or seen Bolner a whole bunch! However, as I understand it, he only chooses randomly when the battlecry is itself random.

The way Bru'kan of the Elements's battlecry reads to me is "Battlecry: Choose two hero powers to activate this turn." If that's how the battlecry really should be translated into plain HS terms, I'd be really surprised if you weren't given a choice each time.

I'm thinking mainly of a precedent for a similar scenario: if you play Siamat with Battle Totem, you get to choose from all four options each time his battlecry triggers. That said, I know that's an example from single-player content... if you know whether it works the same way with Brann Bronzebeard, though, that might confirm it one way or another!

Won't ever see any kind of play.

Im pretty sure it'll atleast see casual play Mr Negativity. =P

So quick run down, cycling referring to every time a card draws back into itself, whether it is a creature or spell.

Tutoring is when a card gives you a specific card you are looking for.

With that let's take a look at Ferros Financier and how tutoring itself is the problem more so than bandlewood specifically. Like you can run Lux Heimer instead of Heimer Jayce and you dont even miss bandle.

1. It can grab ruination (board clear)

2. It can grab reckoning (board clear)

3. It can grab "mega avalanche" (board clear)

4. It can grab progress day (oh my 2 mana tutor just drew me 3 how fun and balanced

5.  It can grab shock blast (board clear/burn)

6. It can grab glorious revolution (luuuulz this one's for you guys because tutoring for it is 100 times better than main decking because it's a free card) and you get the blocker

7. It can grab summon two 3/3s and summon two 3/2s that buff on attack, and summon two 4/4 s (hey my two mana card gave me massive free board presence)

8. It can grab single target removal like harpoon, it can basically do anything

 All of this for two mana, now how is this different from targon, A you have to spend 3 mana, and invoke cards are actually kinda bad now without Asol to make them free. 

Also having a free blocker on 2 is game changing against aggro trust me, it's why people hate love on telescope on conchologist and Shadow dude, it's like yes you get a free card, aaaaand you answer your opponents aggro play aaaaand you get to tutor what you want.

All of this leads to the fact that tutors aren't rng so much as they are a consistently game winning nuisance that is spreading across the game region by region and I think it's not stopping anytime soon.

3 mana 3/3 with a useful deathrattle effect - not great, but by no mean bad
And who knows if the meta will bring more mech synergy ?

Incoming a new gameplay achievement for removing 10, 20 then 50 legendaries

Defile for everyone. Yippee!

And on a decent stick too

Makes for a great Arena card that scales & removes, each turn!

Quote From Geno9999

Seems like a Druid class card in disguise... Can't wait for it to roll Taunt 9 times!*

*Probably doesn't work like that.

Imagine now with a 20 mana pool ... Taunt x19!!
