Yeti with a bonus

I'm looking forward to seeing how this gets abused

As if face hunter needed something else to be annoying

Cool card but it is so painfully slow that I can only see it being played in slow control decks that don't run any other weapons. This card is very comparable to Opt from MTG but this card is considerably worse due to Opt being a cantrip and an instant. It's nice that this weapon doesn't lose durability if you keep the card on top, but that does not fix the issue of this card taking ages to get maximum value.

The reason why scry is such a good mechanic in MTG is that it is just stapled onto other cards as well as being put into decks that are specifically looking for specific cards. MTG having 60 card decks hurt the consistency of decks, resulting in cantrips like Opt, being ran in pretty much any deck that can run blue. Hearthstone on the other hand only has 30 cards which makes the games significantly more consistent and as a result, isn't as reliant on cantrips.

I don't think this card is bad per se but I also don't think it is worth a card slot in decks. I'd be happy to be wrong about this card since it seems a lot of people like the card but I'm not seeing it. Oh on an aside it's hilarious in wild with Twig but that seems like a pipe dream since there is still no neutral weapon tutors yet.

So... 8 Mana, destroy target creature, 3/9... Kinda spendy

okay but what's Turalyon doing teaching at scholomance?

Also will he have any interactions if played against Alleria?

It's always 2 weeks after the nerfs go live. There is no reason to think there's a conspiracy about them timing it purely to deny a bit of dust a few players.

You have to remember though, Natalie is in a class that actually has good removal. Pally only has stuff to make threats smaller.

Hard single removal with possibly a couple of uses. Very good, but also expensive and maybe a bit slow.

This minion is probably one of the more powerful rush minions printed.

Rush minions, on a whole generally have low health for their cost since they're meant to remove enemy minions. Turalyon's 12 health is massive compared to other collectible rush minions, and his effect when he attacks guarantees he will kill whatever he attacks, save any poisonous minions.

Other players have made the connection of using Turalyon with DUEL! to try and remove a high target threat from their opponents deck.

with Paladin's access to good healing it's also possible to keep Turalyon alive to use him as removal for the rest of the game.

His power also makes him a high priority draft in the Arena, as minions it will be hard to draft removal against him for your opponents, assuming you get to 8 mana and draw him on curve.

 

Chillwind Yeti sets the gold standard for 4 drop stats and Sen'jin Shieldmasta sets the standard for taunts at that cost, as well. This minion being well statted with taunt with no increase in mana cost is a solid minion to play on curve.

It's battlecry of restoring 5 health is also better and faster than Rotten Applebaum's deathrattle of 4 health for a 5 mana minion. Restoring 5 health to your hero and then protecting your hero for 5 damage is essentially gaining 10 life.

In druid this minion can help activate Lucentbark, an infamous 8 mana minion that would come back to life if you restored 5 health, along with Crystal Stag. And the battlecry is not to your hero, specifically, meaning you can restore the health of a high value minion instead. However the healing package in Druid wasn't particularly strong, so this minion will probably be used by them to mitigate health loss for your hero.

I'm not certain what Shaman will use this minion for besides restoring health to their hero, they don't have a healing package or synergy that Druid ever received. The spells Shaman has that can

In standard Druid has twice as many spells that cost (5) or more than Shaman. Druids have 10, Shaman with 5 (as of this review, Shaman may receive more high cost spells in this set). 

That said even if a player can't activate this minion's effect it's still a very solid turn 4 play in constructed or arena. I believe it will see play regardless.

A very niche use of this is counter stat based effects such as lifesteal. If your opponent had a large lifesteal minion up, using this to remove it reduces the health gain. It also works with Augmented Porcupine in a similar way. I can see it getting play in Paladin, the comparisons to Seline are flawed as Priest has a glut of removal tools, where as Paladins struggle in that area.

I see people mostly looking at this card through a fast vs slow match-up. For a control mirror it really isn't a bad card. 8 mana cards are more than viable in slow games and it almost always guarantees a +1 in card advantage at the bare minimum (at least one threat you remove via rush and a removal to answer it). Of course if the opponent doesn't want to waste a removal on a 3 attack minion on their next turn then the card advantage continues to increase.

I guess you can say you rushed that response (:

No. You don’t get to keep the card if you want full dust refund.

No gains to be made here

I was initially confused by the text, but okay. This is a weird card.

I like the effect, but he's just too expensive.  He is a strong card, essentially a 3/9 removal with soft-taunt, but I'm not sure that's enough to slot him in.  Maybe Pure Paladins run him as additional late game and as single-card removal rather than relying on a combination of cards, but on face value he's not an auto-include like some of the other cards we've seen.

Yeah, they probably just didn't have any Character they could use from lore to fit Pally in the Scholomance theme, not many Paladins in the Barov Family lineage.

Quoted Text

if I specially craft a golden card now, will I get to keep the dust if I disenchanted it later And still get to keep the card similar to treatment for Hall of Fame cards? Reason because I play only wild and I like to collect golden cards.

It's a good card, but in the current meta there aren't a lot of big 1 cards that win the game and if they do, they don't remain in the field so long (unless the Quest warlock misses the discount in Malygos)

I have just one question: is the silence going to occur first or the actual attack i.e. can it kill a buffed to 3/2 Battlefiend without dying itself?

It should work as Earth Shock.

If silences after the minion attacks, the card powerlevel downs a lot.

Yea, that was my thought exactly. And I think it should work as earth shock, but in the example - it states - silence and then deal 1 dmg to it. Here it says - whenever it attacks - silence it. So it can be interpreted both ways. But I guess I am being just paranoid

Escaped Manasaber have the same mechanic and the extra mana is given before the minion deals damage.

Already DE my golden Kayn and recrafted him regular. He was pretty, but the free dust just cannot be passed.
