I highly doubt this card will see play immediately. There's no real archetype for freeze mage anymore and this card would be too inconsistent to add to other existing mage archetypes. It's a fair card, but due to the small pool of frost spells atm, it won't see much play.
A big version of Dirty Rat. I think the bigger mana cost limits this from seeing play, because it can't disrupt many faster combos. The one saving grace is that this is always a 2-for-1, where dirty rat does not generate card advantage. Definite maybe for lategame decks if mecha-thun lists become viable.
Very cool disruption mechanic, not to mention it'll require some skill to know when to play it and eat a crucial minion in the opponent's hand. I'd say it's similar to Shadow Hunter Vol'jin in that regard, but can only target opponent's minions. Ofc this card is complete trash against the prevalent no minion mage and spell token druid decks.
But none of these decks were ever really top tier.
Rez Priest had counters and Tickatus is just a Priest hardcounter and nothing else. Illucia was only printed as a combo counter for Priests so they don't just roll over to decks that OTK them, and it has a terrible winrate on ladder because it is almost useless against anything else.
Meanwhile Alignment is an unironic control killer because no control deck can beat it....at all
I doubt that it will be great in any current shaman builds, but maybe you could tool it into an midrange shaman list with some strong elemental it wants to tutor, like Thunderhead or Cumulo-Maximus? Seems interesting, but doesn't really slot into any existing decks.
If Priest get`s new Holy Spells so this could be abused more then it would be an ok card - right now the best or most played Spells in priest are not Holy and therefore this card needs more Holy Spell support to be good.
Well .... right now i guess this one is not good enough to find it`s way into the Meta. But if we will get more Frost Mage Support this could turn out pretty good.
I meant since Darkmoon Faire. I hit legend for the first time during Darkmoon Faire expansion, that's why I have over 300 games during that time. And that's why I know it's not worth it. I can play 20-30 games to hit D5 but I need another 30-40 games to get to legend from D5. All this in highly competitive environment, mostly against secret mages. And the reward is...1 extra epic. No thank you.
I don'T understand why they want Alignment Druid to be a thing. That deck is the most toxic one-sided BS ever conceived and if it wasn't for the absolutely garbage winrate it would be hated more than Tickatus and Rez Priest combined.
I understand what 70% winrate means. Even when I win 7/10 games, I still lose 3 games. And I don't like losing, especially on competitive D1-D5 meta where I get beaten by stupid secret mages just because they got a good curve. So I stop playing competitive decks (Odd paladin, Murloc shaman, Tax paladin) and start playing meme decks like Shudderwock shaman or Mirracle Giant Priest because it's fun and I know I'm going to lose a lot but I don't care. With competitive decks I care. These meme decks have less than 50% winrate so I can't really get to legend. I could with my competitive decks but I would have to play +- 30 - 40 games while I need only +- 20 games with the same deck to rush D5. It's just not worth it. My winrates in 2021.
It's probably not balanced and it will infuriate people for sure, but I love both the concept and the fact that the developers still add some crazy stuff to the game.
I don't even know why I bother opening them anymore. All they do is bring me sorrow. I remember back when opening packs was an exciting process and I would actually open good stuff.
Now it's 40 dust every time or an epic every so often. Golden cards? I'm actually a huge enthusiast and remember getting them at a decent rate every 5-10 packs. I can't remember the last one I opened.
As for Legendaries each and every time it countdowns to 35-40 packs. I recall a time when I would open up an L not long after I just had thinking, oh wow cool so soon. Now it's so far I'm pretty much angry when I finally get one.
I even used to open up golden legendaries. Not often of course, but maybe one every few months and I'd cherish it. I'm a daily player and it has to have been a year since I've found one.
Just wanting to see if anyone else is having this issue. I can't help but feel that since all the big changes they've implemented that they have lowered the drop rate on premium cards. More likely it's just my own bad luck.

New Shaman Minion - Primal Dungeoneer
I'm glad Blizzard listened to the community, but honestly, this card should have been in the original barrens set, not the miniset.
Now I'm quite excited to play with those unused elementals

Rewards Track: Current progress 2.0
Hit lvl 100 a few days ago now im 110. Picked the Valeera Skin as Reward because Rogue is the Class i have the fewest skins.

New Barrens Shaman Spell & Elemental Synergy Card - Primal Dungoneer
Thank you blizzard, for giving me a reason to run elementals.

New Shaman Minion - Primal Dungeoneer
Decent card for Shaman. But it also depends on how many new Nature Spells and Elementals we will get for shaman. Still decent tough.

Its druid. Apparently theres some constitutional law in team5 that they must be utterly broken or completely helpless.
Guess its going to be Cult Neophyte or bust once again.
New Neutral Minion - Mutanus the Devourer
I realy like this one. A nice disruption tool - and i guess the "eaten" minion will be destroyed right ?
Happy 2nd Birthday Out of Cards

I mean, they like making crap like this. Just look at Tickatus and Rez Priest. Also Mindrender Illucia..
