I honestly think this has a chance. I'm well aware it likely won't make an impact but this looks rather similar to Amani War Bear and that saw a relatively decent amount of play in the right decks.
Rush minions main purpose was board control/clear. Amani War Bear 5 damage was a garanteed kill of almost any minion. 2 attack is kinda weak.
But you are right, cards are similar and the taunt/beast tag could prove its usefulness in the future.
I agree that 5 damage is better but usually this can come down three turns sooner as well, meaning that smaller targets will often be on the board. T
Wow! Play it at the edge of the board, and watch it roll across! Makes positioning more interesting, which thanks to my Battleground shuffling skills are much bett---oh, wait you can't move around minions on the HS board once they're played. Derp!
If this is in your opening hand, and you curve out maximum mana spent per turn, the earliest this could activate is turn 5 after spending 1 mana. But if you play so many 1 and 2 mana minions to get the mana effectively, how good is another random minion?
I could see it being absolutely killer in a Malygos deck, though.
Nice card. As always with this low statted, summon a better card, it of course will further weaken the transform effect of minions from 1 mana to 2 - but it ain't no Doomsayer!
Nice deck :) In my opinion Corrupted Elementalist is all you need to upgrade Galak to its final form (given that you use one of them with quest hero power) and I'm not sure how well Nithogg will fare. Good luck!
I'm able to rate every card except this one. On the card page, if I try to submit a rating for overall or arena, the form throws a 500 error, according to Chrome dev tools. If I leave those blank and just vote for standard and wild, it works fine. It doesn't work on the expansion guide or this thread either. I don't know if anybody with the power to fix it will see this, but I thought I should mention it.
I am barely seeing this card show up in theorycrafts, and I forget to put it in a lot of decks too. But this card is going to eventually be in A LOT of aggro decks. Need a 1-drop? This is your card. Get used to seeing this as much as we used to see Fire Fly
Yes lol. But it's obviously strong a 1* 2/2, I don't think someone is understimating his power ^ . ^
Tech card against freeze mage, lol. To see constructed play there must be tons of people playing mage, which is not very likely. At least it has good stats for arena.
New Paladin Spell - Righteous Cause
So much better than Competitive Spirit and I can only imagine the shenanigans in Wild with some of those summon 3 or summon 5 recruits cards.
New Paladin Minion - Sky Claw
To be true to the Claw arcade game, it ought to require you put in $20 in quarters before actually summoning the 1/1s.
New Paladin Minion - Lightforged Zealot
Same cost as the weapon, double the stats!
New Paladin Minion - Lightforged Crusader
What a neat concept! I'm excited to see if they'd bring this to other classes too.
New Mage Minion - Violet Spellwing
The art looks like a badly inked tattoo.
New Neutral Minion - Hippogryph
I agree that 5 damage is better but usually this can come down three turns sooner as well, meaning that smaller targets will often be on the board. T
New Mage Spell - Elemental Allies
By far the most powerful sidequest I've seen so far. Arcane Intellectfor those elemental decks FTW!
New Mage Spell - Rolling Fireball
Wow! Play it at the edge of the board, and watch it roll across! Makes positioning more interesting, which thanks to my Battleground shuffling skills are much bett---oh, wait you can't move around minions on the HS board once they're played. Derp!

Eh, I'm still not sold on Nozdormu to be completely honest.
But on the flipside, I'm glad that someone agrees that Dark Skies is not a bad card.
New Mage Minion - Mana Giant
With a name like "Mana Giant" I would expect the card text to read "for each MANA spent on cards not found in your deck."
New Druid Spell - Strength in Numbers
If this is in your opening hand, and you curve out maximum mana spent per turn, the earliest this could activate is turn 5 after spending 1 mana. But if you play so many 1 and 2 mana minions to get the mana effectively, how good is another random minion?
I could see it being absolutely killer in a Malygos deck, though.
New Druid Minion - Shrubadier
Nice card. As always with this low statted, summon a better card, it of course will further weaken the transform effect of minions from 1 mana to 2 - but it ain't no Doomsayer!

Embalming Ritual instead of Holy Smite will do same thing + ability to trade one of taunts in way.
New Druid Spell - Aeroponics
This absolutely enable a treant druid, and (mostly) negates the worries about playing many lower cost cards when you have this as a draw engine.
[Day 1] DoD - Quest to Unleash the Tempest
Nice deck :) In my opinion Corrupted Elementalist is all you need to upgrade Galak to its final form (given that you use one of them with quest hero power) and I'm not sure how well Nithogg will fare. Good luck!

Here is my dream scenario:
Play Leeroy Jenkins and go face, Play Grave Rune on him and ping it with Holy Smite. Get 2xLeeroy Jenkins and go face!
New Neutral Minion - Blazing Battlemage
Textless cards have no chance to be played on ladder, in arena though it's a different story.
[DoD] ResidentSleeper Awards
Yes lol.
But it's obviously strong a 1* 2/2, I don't think someone is understimating his power ^ . ^
New Neutral Minion - Hot Air Balloon
Imho too weak, even for a one drop. Mecharoo is always a better choice.
New Neutral Minion - Parachute Brigand
Great, new way to vomit pirates on board. Pirate warrior looking really scary right now.
New Neutral Minion - Tasty Flyfish
Cutest card in expansion, but combination of murlocs and dragons is super weird. Buffing your Scion of Ruin on the other hand...
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Chimaera
1 health means this has no chance to be played. Evasive (why is this not a keyword anyway?) doesn't help at all.
New Neutral Minion - Living Dragonbreath
Tech card against freeze mage, lol. To see constructed play there must be tons of people playing mage, which is not very likely. At least it has good stats for arena.
New Neutral Minion - Goboglide Tech
Solid inclusion for mech aggro decks, at least until Boomsday rotates out of standard.
