Interesting synergy with Wisp, Jar Dealer, Leper Gnome, Fiendish Servant, or as mentioned earlier, any Lackey. And it's appropriately stat'd at 4-mana 3/6...this is good enough to simply play on curve without going off in one turn.
The big take away from this update has been the consistent effort on the part of Riot to stop decks who essentially have un-fun play patterns from being dominant...
1. Aggro Nox's overpowered 2 mana slot has been gutted , this is good for the health of the game there was literally 12 auto includes in the slot
2. Exclusives have been nerfed with will of ionia, Heimer, solitary monk last patch, and shadow assassin
3. Discard decks buffed substantially, this is good for jinx, and gives Draven a home outside of aggro
4. Frejord champs tweaked, very necessary and healthy
So we should be heading to a midrange meta, as long as Ezreal control isn't oppressive, and there is a pretty serious chance of that
If you want a list of strong decks going forward here are a few likely options...
1. Any variant of bilgewater/Dem bannerman, scout or aggro focused doesn't matter
2. They who endure, the deck never went anywhere, but it should be relatively better now
3. Deep is similarly positioned to do well
4. Ezreal control variants, yep nuff said
5. Ash decks, usually with noxious splash
6. Unknown aggro elusive list, just using the cards that haven't been nerfed along with a splash
Of course is similar to Priestess of Fury...and I like it ! Don't forget that if 3/3 trade and survive (or it face) they will stay on board...so it will not be ignored to avoid a snowball situation
If it said summon instead of play it would be bonkers. But as is, it is just meh. Hard to combo in the early game. Need to be able to play a lot of cheap minions in the late game to make it worth, which means having a lot of cards in hand. I guess a lackey-based Warlock could, but still not too impressed.
I ADORE this card. I pushes tempo/zoo style decks for Warlock and Priest by appealing to things that both benefit greatly from. Eggs and other cheap deathrattles like EVIL Conscriptor are popped instantly and it essentially makes every minion you play a 4/4, letting it function as a pseudo-Tekahn for lackeys. As it stands, the only major downside to the card is that it effectively does not allow you to play any Rush minions, removing some reactive tools typically in zoo decks and having anti-synergy with Magic Carpet. That said, it does make that new broom card a bit more interesting.
Is this a sticky minion for Control Warior? Big warior doesn't exist right now and 9 mana for "just a 9/9" are a lot (even if this will start a beat down situation). In any case I don't see a deck for Rattlegore right now.
Pretty strong card, there are a lot of small minions in aggro decks that will like the upgrade to a 4/4. And this card alone is a decent tempo play. I wonder if the 4/4 statline is the now established standard, after Quest rogue and Pharaoh Tekhan, it seems like 4/4s tokens are what Blizzard settles as "good enough".
Generally a 6 mana 3/3: "destroy a minion". This seems strong on paper, but it's quite.. different depending on the class.
For priest it's honestly at its weakest. I feel like Aeon Reaver Is WAY better, as it has +1/+1 compared to Brittlebone Destroyer. Sure Aeon Reaver is worse at dealing with taunted minions, but it has dragon synergy. Also for destroying big minions, priest already has Shadow Word: Death, Shadow Word: Pain and Forbidden Words. Brittlebone Destroyer Seems honestly really weak/bad as a priest minion. The only reason i think it exists is so that priest has a card like Aeon Reaver after GA rotates. The only thing the card NEEDS in order to be decent/good is a cheap self-damage (dual-class)card. like maybe a 0 mana card, or 1 mana at most.
For Warlock it's a WAY DIFFERENT story. For warlock it's basicly Keli'dan the Breaker from last expansion, but without the VERY situational board wipe effect. And you can use 2 copys of Brittlebone Destroyer... man Keli'dan the Breaker got powercreeped already... AND IT'S JUST THE NEXT EXPANSION! Also warlock has a lot of (cheap) self-damage cards like Flame Imp, which makes it come out faster than turn 6. This will certainly see play in zoolock, so they can get through big early game taunts. This card will probably make it so Soulbound Ashtongue also gets used in zoolock, just so that they can (hopefully) use Brittlebone Destroyer on turn 4.
Basicly: Bad/outclassed in most priest decks, extremely powerfull in warlock/(self-damage)zoolock. So uh, why is this a dual class card again? Seems like mainly warlock flavor to me.
Currently Priest doesn't have many good deathrattles in Standard, but they've had deathrattle synergies in the past, so maybe there will be some new ones revealed later.
Zoo lock are always loved by player and this card (like almost all egg) fits well the archetype. In wild this card will shine for sure thanks to the Discard synergy and better card for the zoo
I'm not sold on this one. Feel like a lot of games might look like the example video where you get a bunch of cool animations off and then the hunter always has another 2 damage in hand to kill you while ignoring all your cool new 4-4s.
This is what reckless experimenter wanted to be. Eggs have always been good in zoo, but awkward to activate with basically only Recruiter being available.
It's a stronger Wasteland Assassin and deathrantle can be abused (for sure in wild, not so much in standard). The effect is not super flashy, but can be a strong in aggressive deck. Right now I can't figure a deck for this card. The stealth synergy is nice, but i don't think that this card push too much that deck and Galakron will not disappear
Oh boy! I card that can instantly kill my eggs and summon other minions in their place, as well as other deathrattle cards? I'm excited about this one.
Priest got probably the short End of the Stick. Not really that much Deathrattle Support in that Class rn. Warlock however has Stuff like Zoo, Lackeys and that new Egg.
Great for warlock but almost useless for priest. So weird idea of small minions synergy without any draw. Don't forget that he also blocks big minions from being played when he is on the board.

The Zoo is back in town. (Did it ever truly leave?)
Disciplinarian Gandling
I KNEW there was going to be an egg activator when they showed the spider egg today.
I mean there's more to this card than that but I was still right.
and what priest deck can utilize this at the moment? Resurrect and Galakrond don't really use that many disposable death rattle minions...

Strong card. The stat are good and the effect can be abused in some way for sure...
I'm curious to find out wich will be the best combo with this card
New Rogue Minion - Infiltrator Lilian
It's a stronger Wasteland Assassin and deathrantle can be abused (for sure in wild, not so much in standard). The effect is not super flashy, but can be a strong in aggressive deck.
