A very decent aggro/midrange card that certainly is intended to help reputation decks... I could however see Riven decks giving this little critter quick attack or overwhelm and get away with it...
I'm hoping that if you play/splinter a 2nd sumpworker, THAT is the copy that gets "obliterate me" and the original is the copy that gets transformed. If it's the original copy that gets obliterated AND they don't do a special exception to remove the ephemeral keyword (which I agree would be consistent with other things currently in the game), it's going to drastically reduce the value of that card.
Okay Riot... Who at your HQ thought that a card like this was a good idea? The reason why Flash Freeze is so good is that you can sit on it and you will most likely find a moment where it does something really big.
But this card forces you to cast it asap, taking away the aspect why a card like flash freeze is good... and even if you do that on turn 3... you get a thrall on turn 11 and you take away your earlygame options... not to mention that Three Sisters exists...
This card is neighter interesting or good what a thrall move Riot...
I wonder if there is any way to get better value out of Plaguemaw the Rotting with N'zoth, considering you can bring back the 10/10 elemental with rush and taunt still and a few other things. Probably would not work, but could be fun.
Gotta disagree on that one, yeah they use the same champion but only TF/Ezreal and TF/Swain were similar, the rest played very differently from one another.
That's... kinda a plunder Vengeance. Sure it doesn't take out a Nasus but most units will just die to this and paying 3 mana to kill a unit is very good
The ability to answer removal with a removal spell that let's you dodge the opponent's removal for ONLY 2 MANA is very big of a deal. i mean it comes with the downside of costing you a draw but to me this card is clearly one of the best 2 mana spells we have now in the game and especially becomes silly when combined with units that draw on etb... by the way anyone else interested what pyke is going to look like?
Thrashing Snapper: A 1 mana unit that the oponent can't effectively block unless he got a chumb blocker is pretty cool, in a way this is the reverse Precious Pet and it certainly combines nicely with overwhelm buffs... could be really good 4/5
Incisive Tactician... in a way this is the Dragonguard Lookout for noxus. It's a decent card when it's played with reputation and the way reputation operates, you have to have a TERRIBLE matchup to not have reputation on turn 6. So... it's certainly not bad for reputation decks but I still don't buy the reputation theme, I think it's very unoriginal and too linear of a gameplan to ever become toptier so... a 2/5 for me.
Blackthorn looks okay. Really depends on Quillboars being good; otherwise Mukla can get more out of his Bananas than Blackthorn can with Blood Gems.
Vol'jin will be an interesting test of your BG knowledge, I think, knowing who to swap and when. Also shows that the technology exists within Hearthstone to manually select more than one target!
Xyrella can be used for early tempo, Battlecry minions you intend to throw away, or to finish a golden without consequence. Seems fine.
Nasus Thresh is looking disgusting -- it's already a strong deck, and I think The Wings and The Wave can only make it stronger.
Buried in Ice looks fun; I just don't know how to use it. Will it be a control tool for TLC decks? A combo piece for It That Stares? Something you just put in midrange decks so you can swing for lethal?
Adaptatron 3000 = Heimerdinger synergy; it will be interesting to see if he goes from meme tier to meta deck overnight.
Cithria, Lady of Clouds looks amazing. I have no idea how you actually utilize her -- 10 mana is huge -- but that won't stop me from trying. The sad thing is that she's probably just worse than Brightsteel Formation and Minah Swiftfoot, who deliver the same "I'm just going to win now" power but for 1 less mana. But we can dream!
The way this is worded, the copy remains ephemeral if you clone the Chirean Sumpworker with fading memory.
Transform effects in LoR don't remove Keywords or buffs as they do in other tcgs
On it's own it's not good (but also not that terrible) and is not doing much.
All it cares about is how many copies/clones you draw in a match, something that by default comes with a great variance.
The regions that this most likely will go into are SI or Ionia with their cloning support.
I am afraid that this card is actually competetively viable due to it's compared to it's highroll potential relatively low risk nature.
And If I think about the nasty elusive otks this card can create with The Harrowing no... I don't approve this design although some people will certainly love the burglefish deck replacement
More windfury and menagerie action, im not sure i like that. The blood gems will actually make more impact as buffs than the blood gem synergy imho, but i guess we'll see. Very excited to play with the new tribe, and heroes, for sure.
Voljin i think will become a midgame powerhouse that will be able to transition into any strategy while keeping the stats on minions, or give good stats to weak minions with strong keywords, like the Spore, or any Divine Shield or Windfury guy, or Hydra. He will def be an interesting one to master.
I made it neutral, bumped up the stats slightly, and fixed the wording.

I prefer the 2 mana 1/3 version. I think in general you will have better chances with a more grounded and simple card.

Mysterious Wildkin seems way underpowered as an epic 6 mana 4/3 that gains you 8 armor. I would decrease the cost, increase the health, and also change the wording to "Choose one (secretly): Frenzy or Deathrattle Gain 8 armor." or maybe "Choose Frenzy or Deathrattle (secretly): Gain 8 armor" I am not entirely sure what the proper wording would be here. I don't like Hungry Crocolisk. The mechanic is weird as the frenzy only happens if the minion dies, but it can only trigger if the Crocolisk doesn't die. I do think Barrens Black Drake is your best card. It is unique in being the only minion where you don't want the frenzy to trigger, but your opponent does.

I do still feel like at turn 3 it is almost impossible for the frenzy not to trigger. I would either reduce the health to 2 or 3, or increase the cost and stats so it comes in later.
I like the idea of having a downside on the card and a frenzy to mitigate it, but right now it feels too easy to ignore the overload.
Wailor:

I like it. I do think it should have taunt to make the double divine shield feel more relevant, but the 2/5 stat line feels kind awkward. I would make it a 6 mana 4/5, or a 5 mana 3/5, or something around there.

I like Explore the Barrens better. I don't think it needs to be an epic since it doesn't feel terribly powerful and this isn't the type of card I would want to spend 400 dust on. But aside from that it looks great.

Interesting Quilboar, some also are just great in non-Quilboar decks. Seems like a fun minion type to play around with!
(Also it seems like my prediction that Brann and Shudderwock are good with Quilboars is probably pretty accurate.)
