I have a question, I just looked over cards competed for this and I noticed that Landy's Hawkstrider Mount average-scored 3,68 while this - 3,48. Doesn't the most rated card win? Just asking because everytime I looked at winning cards the most scored were winners so that's why I'm surprised
I would make Tirion a 4/4 because its a legendary minion and 3/3 stats just look meh and make Broodmother a 4/6 or make it 5 mana. The 4/5 frenzy minion in warrior works because it has rush and it's 5 mana a 7 mana 4/5 frenzy isn't good because its hard to trigger
So, technically, with enough copies and by trading them one at a time, you can have an endless supply of The Rat Kings. That being said, it doesn't have Trample, so he feels way too fair.
Priest decks uses tons of stuff generation like Renew, Venomous Scorpid, Palm Reading, Draconic Studies... So you can pick a card with the cost that you need and doesn't found drawing from your deck.
That Questline looks slow, but playable. I'll try for sure.
Hey first guy who was in BGs first and then revealed as a card. I think... But can be powerful, but needs synergies so doesn't neccesarily make existing decks stronger.
Deathrattle Hunter that will duplicate Rat King's dr untill you have full board of dormant minions and cant do shit 🤣 i bet someone will have the brilliant idea to get more of them out and screws up. Trollden, here we go.
This also looks like a fun card. Giving Hunter some longer term value through the game is nice. Maybe this enables some playstyles that don't revolve around me go face.
From the two cards revealed for Hunter so far, going to speculate the quest will revolve around "x amount of friendly minions die" or "summon x amount of beasts".
I love this card. I don't know if it is more for the Princess Bride reference or the interesting decisions that you will make regarding how much to fill your board vs. how much to fill your hand. This should be a fun card.
How often can you realistically expect this deathrattle to trigger in a game? I think you should count yourself lucky if it triggers twice. Still, that's 3 5/5's with rush. That's good value. Main questions is: which deck wants to do this? Besides an Unseal the Vault deck in Wild I can't think of any. Maybe this card is good enough on it's own and doesn't need support to be good.
The way to progress the questline is boring and the reward is moronic. No amount of Wronchi animations can fix the stupidity that is this card. And I thought the Pyroblast option from Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate was terrible design.
I like the entire concept of the mounts. I think they will all get play within their respective classes. This one is nicely versatile with some nice burst if a minion is already on board and the obvious dual layered removal.
On its face, this is seriously overpowered card. In reality, I fear it will suffer from inconsistency in drawing the right cards. How many 7 and 8 mana cards can you run to give you a good chance to draw one of each of them by the correct turn?
Plenty of cool ideas, but Kairozdormu is fundamentally broken. Even since Hearthstone launched, people have presented the idea of turning battlecries into spells, and every time, someone needs to point out that such a process is mechanically impossible.
Battlecries don't work outside of the context of minions. What about Wriggling Horror, who gives a buff to adjacent minions? Nothing is adjacent to a spell. What about Frostwolf Warlord, who self-buffs? A spell can't receive a stat buff. What about Wolpertinger, who summons a copy of itself? A spell can't be summoned.
There are tons of battlecries that just don't work as spells, and even a brief consideration of the mechanics would have revealed that.
Obviously there would need to be more payoff for going wide, but just in general, having the ability to generate a huge amount of stats to space out over multiple terms doesn't sound too bad.
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't pring something like this if there wasn't at least some sort of further payoff (even if that might not be in this set)

The flavor text of this card is "I'm the giant rat that makes all of da rules". I'm so fucking happy.

I love the design of this card, a decent-to-good win more card without being immediatly broken. Also, the rats look adorable yet terrifying.

Pretty strong buff, juggernaut in arena, but in standard needs a fit, and I am not sure it is there

The Rat King
yeah they had tons of those in year of the dragon.
Snake Trap and Pack Tactics work pretty well with it, along with the Wolpertingers.
Petting zoo can also work in a secret shell, along with Jewel of N'zoth if you trigger this guy a few times.
But everything I mentioned is kinda resource heavy, and this guy doesn't seem like a win con
OH right Forged in the barrens also had those hyenas with Rush yeah that's a bit more viable now
