When this returns to your hand, does the spellburst effect reset?

Right now unplayable, because every class can pull 1 mana deal 2 out of their ass every turn

Maybe when those rotate it will see play. Or maybe if they release more spamable spells in the set. But right now it's pretty lackluster.

I am actually surprised this wasn't saved for the final card dump. 

Pretty balanced. 

So..uh...it's just Greenskin then?

Rush is cool and all, but this guy won't stick around for more than one turn. I guess he just replaces Greeskin...or he's run alongside him for consistency. Either way if you take away the Upgrade effect you're left with a 4-mana 4/4 with rush...which is just....meh

Hard to judge this one, probably gonna either be really good, or way too slow to ever consider running.

Can add lots of extra damage if you’re playing a lot of cheap spells, though you’d have to keep playing this over and over to get it, so the mana would add up pretty quickly

Quest Rogue much?

Interesting card anyway. 

It's better than Captain Greenskin I guess... Barely...

Looks legit, but why is the Text so weirdly formated?

Anyway, Assassin's Blade could be perfect for this.

Totally looking forward to seeing this card in pirate warrior at some point. I guess this is the reason to play that new minion that copies rush minions, adds a lot of extra damage to your weapon.

Loving the art for the card though, even if I know I’ll hate playing against it

This expansion is a joke to every class but DH

I don't see a problem playing both cards. Mercenary has downside - minion must be damaged and using it on a mummy is a waste. Also I'm pretty sure they will introduce some fancy rush minions.

In wild insane already, in standard need to see more demons

Ok in wild they already have an archetype for this... In standard well need to see how big demons would work...

Please do not give them such ideas :D 

I mean warrior like their rushes so should be good in deck that is built in a certain way. Restless Mummy and whatnot

Damn... This with Restless Mummy

Its not really that bad, honestly. You made some worthy points, and I will add that even control decks rarely have more than 5 cards when facing down tempo dhunters. If you're not playing cards every turn against dhunters, chances are good you will lose that matchup anyway.

But as pointed out by others, this card is problematic because;

- Its not fun to be at the receiving end of this card, especially if you get rng-ed to death by your draws

- It can be discovered, so even if the card itself doesn't make the cut, there will be games where this just blow the opponent away, in the most unfun fashion ever seen

- It actively punishes card draw , and for some archetypes and indeed classes, its simply impossible to play around. What does, for example, handlock propose to do against something like this? Another severe example would be the fact that priest cant draw for shit, so this just hit the entire class.

- Anything that can affect the opponent's hand needs to come with severe drawbacks to be remotely justified. There's a good reason why warlock, thus far anyway, is the only class that has hand disruption tools. This is being given to one of the best tempo-face class in the meta currently. Not a good sign.

 

The only drawback of this card is, in my opinion;

- You need to play this card, at a cost of 4 mana. Not many aggro decks can do that without losing tempo, which in some matches is game ending

- In some matches this just ensures you can't outcast other cards. If this gets stuck on your left side and you're holding more than 4 cards, then its one of those russian roulette games again where die if you do, die if you don't. Of course, this also means you almost never play skull with this card in the same deck. A worthy tradeoff? considering that skull was the only card that breaks Altruis the Outcast, one of the strongest cards in the game right now.

 

Yes, this does not kill control as an archetype, but its a little like quest rogue, in that control decks might as well just auto concede when it appears. Or like aggro against odd warrior. See it, know your win rate is easily near the 30s, just concede and save time.

I can only hope that this have actually went through play testing and found to be impossible to include into tempo dhunters. Also, there's plenty of new cards unrevealed down the line, so let's sit on this until we see everything before crucifying Glide upside down under the sun.

They don't test anything anymore, remember when they said that they wouldn't print two cards that were bullshit if combined in the standard set? Well....

Grave Rune + [Hearthstone Card (conniving infiltrator) Not Found] proves they don't care about that anymore. So what makes you think they care. It's literally KFT 2 demon hunter boogaloo, where they want more players to join the game off busted new mechanics of a broken new class, and they don't care if they screw over the other older ones, because if new players wanted to play those ones they would have done it already. Just when you think it's settling down, where they nerfed all the demon hunter cards they intentionally released with the intention of being batship busted. Here comes the expansion to say:

Your other characters are immune is more bullshit than houndmaster shaw could ever be, a card that carried hunter all the way until it got put in wild. You're always going to be ahead on board. All this card does against aggro is give your opponent a turn to try to catch up to you until you play your next cycle of bullshit DH cards. And against control it singlehandedly wins you the matchup unless they're mage and they just played an elemental last turn with Elemental Allies to draw their aoe back again. Which is so fringe it's glide's downside. Literally nothing.
