Oh, I want to do some silly combos with this card. Mo'arg Artificer? I can't wait!
It doesn't work like that. Mo'arg Artificer only doubles the damage taken to the minion. It doesn't work like Lifesteal where it is calculated at the end of the damage interaction. You're welcome to try it with Explosive Runes since it's basically same exact card.
That makes unfortunate sense. A shame, but at the same time probably a good thing because that could end up being a lot of damage out of nowhere. I still want to see if there's a way to do something silly with it, but at least I won't haveto craft another Artificer for it =P
I like their thought process behind it, it would show that you own all those cards and you've got a sweet collection.
My assumption is that for the older sets, they will make it cards that people actually like to play with. If they made it crap cards, why would people want to finish their sets off?
I'm waiting for that sweet Kel'Thuzad Diamond Card...
Not worth playing unless you play watch posts as well (obviously). I think whether or not this will see play will depend entirely on how good the watch posts are, which I think we'll have to wait to see, although we won't be waiting very long since the expansion drops tomorrow!
I prefer this one to the other watch post. Are there a lot of ways to remove them? Of course. But that's one less removal you have to worry about, and if they don't have their removal handy then they will either be forced to make awkward decisions, or give you some nice value.
I really hope they don't choose to make the collection of diamond cards from old sets be tied to legendaries. Nothing would be worse than seeing a cool diamond card you want, only for it to be locked behind a crappy card like Icehowl. I feel like a wild card feature would be better for these.
Edit: I need to not be half asleep when I write these. What I meant to say was that locking Diamond cards behind crappy legendaries like Icehowl would be a huge turn-off for collecting them. I think it is fine to lock them behind the collection going forward, but not for old wild sets.
As someone who enjoys playing murloc decks I like this a lot. As someone who dislikes facing murloc decks, I dislike this a lot. The versatility of being able to hit minions or go face is always a good thing, at least for the player playing it.

I've never been so happy to see a minion die. It's like a reverse Anomalus.

Thanks! It's pretty clear actually if you know what to look for. It appears to be a Casual run.

Sadly too slow to see any play.

Great stats, great effect. A very hard card to remove.
New Druid Spell - Pride's Fury
Way too slow for an aggro deck.

Bit too slow. Seems like there are better options.
New Neutral Minion - Hog Rancher
Too slow with an effect that is not that good.
New Neutral Minion - Gruntled Patron
Not good enough sadly. Too pricey for what it does.
