I wonder how this will change what choice you make from the Discover. Generally I tend to pick something I can play sooner rather than later when I play a discover card, so I guess that won't change much, since if I can't afford to play the card the same turn, the spell won't trigger the Deathrattle.

Minion damage only so completely fine

I know, but 5 damage for 1 mana still scares me. Also, this means that other pirate archetype cards are going to show in this expansion, and I'm not happy with it

Great card we might actually get a good tempo or beast druid this expansion

I like this card. I hope they aren't pushing token shaman though. Tired of token decks.

I like that meme

Assuming there is a pirate warrior this is a really good card

You can easily remove early pressure and apply pressure with this

The highroll potential (see Jandice Barov) will pretty much always guarantee at least a couple of good outcomes - let's do the math:

Good outcomes - Greybough, Twilight Runner, The Rat King, Trampling Rhino, Teacher's Pet, Aegwynn, the Guardian, Mozaki, Master Duelist, Carousel Gryphon, Aldor Truthseeker, Priest of An'she, Fortune Teller, High Abbess Alura (debatable, but let's include her in this category), Earth Elemental, Inara Stormcrash, Ras Frostwhisper,Totem Goliath, Void Drinker, Envoy Rustwix, Stonemaul Anchorman,Mor'shan Elite, Tent Trasher, Doctor Krastinov, Scrap Golem, Burning Blade Acolyte, Gold Road Grunt, Barrens Blacksmith, Taelan Fordring, Gurubashi Berserker, Overlord Runthak, Stranglethorn Tiger, Razormane Raider, Moonfang, Fleethoof Pearltusk, Ogremancer, Lake Thresher, Steward of Scrolls, Headmaster Kel'Thuzad, Ruststeed Raider, Al'ar.

Bad outcomes - Soulshard Lapidary, Zai, the Incredible, Menagerie Warden, Druid of the Claw, Barak Kodobane, Blood Herald (even though getting it as a 2/2 would actually be a buff lol), Ethereal Conjurer, Firework Elemental, Keywarden Ivory, Cannonmaster Smythe, Lothraxion the Redeemed, Darkbishop Benedictus, Temple Enforcer, Dark Inquisitor Xanesh, Lilypad Lurker, Mistrunner,Shattered Rumbler, Felsoul Jailer, Neeru Fireblade, Shieldmaiden, Ringmaster Whatley, Faceless Manipulator, Shadow Hunter Vol'jin, Derailed Coaster, Optimistic Ogre, Vectus, Lorekeeper Polkelt, Waste Warden.

Even though the chance of getting vanilla 2/2s is pretty relevant, the good outcomes should make up for it most of the times. Moreover, if your goal is to use those 5-drops for a Boggspine Knuckles... well... it doesn't really matter, does it?

This card is insane. Especially in paladin, but every other class checks two out of three boxes. For playable neutral divine shield there's only -so far - [Hearthstone Card (Taelon Fordring) Not Found], Al'Akir the Windlord, Darkmoon Dirigible, maybe Argent Squire.

The Park Panther? I loved those movies!

Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant - dead ant - dead ant ...

(Maybe that was too much of a 1970s reference.)

Minion damage only so completely fine

"...to a minion." There. Balanced.

The original point was that the card was too "universally" good which is to say he literally fits in everywhere and does everything.

Go to mobalytics and the number of viego decks outstrip every single other champion.

But yes they all basically suck the same amount and are tier 3.

Because when a champ is designed to do everything he also does nothing well.

This looks like it would be pretty annoying in swarmy decks. Probably goes well with Rats of Extraordinary Size.

Another pirate support card?

OH NOES

I really like how the full power of the spell doesn't get wasted if you don't play it on an empty board. In fact it gets more powerful the fuller your board is, assuming you have space in your hand. It does nothing the turn you play it, but several 5/5s is probably a decent swing turn, and Animated Broomstick is still in standard.

Celestalon has confirmed that the quest looks at discounted costs not base.  So CA Druid or any cost discounts done by other cards can throw the quest off.

Whether or not the target benefits from Rush, +4/+2 is pretty big, and you summon another Rush when the target dies, which can be used to trade into something else. This seems pretty good.

Quote From Grumpy000

and you can trade it again when drawn the second time? tks

I think so! They never showed what would happen if you would draw it again, but the cards should still have the Tradeable Keyword and therefor should be tradeable again - if i did not miss anything in the Reveal Video etc

This looks pretty good - sure not for Druid Decks with [Hearthstone Card (Guarding Animals) Not Found] but for other lists this seems pretty good.

Strong addition for Pirate Warrior!

Get perfect curve for 8 turns, play reward on 9, survive long enough to draw spell, win. Yay. I wonder if this will be easier to pull of than Mecha'thun.

even the devs want some Ziliax memories. the most balanced card in all of HS
