Am I weird for thinking its kinda cute?

Standard body gets standard rating.

No Blizz, no treant druid today

Trolling all right.

Arena master card.

I like that they're keeping casino mage alive after Flamewaker rotates. Works great with the new sidequest and mana Cyclone.

Must have in Galakrond decks! Can already see it in a quest shudderwock galakrond deck!

You guys are skipping something.

You say it like you can't buff it again to 4/1 at the second swing. Other invoke cards also will give you +3 attack with Warrior. So;

Turn 2 this = 4/2
Turn 3 any invoke card = 4/1

Stop mentioning Rogue heropower. This is just a 4/2 weapon. Don't let it fools you.

Taunt Warrior just got a new mount.

But still great for stalling.

Big druid doesn't have anything to offer currently, but I'd consider it in meme astral communion druid in wild I guess?

Good card for a turn 1 play, but not very useful otherwise.

Maybe Treant Druid works now.

Good at early turns, shit at later turns

So you either draw this and play at turn 2 or you try to activate it later, which is way more difficult, not much room for versatility

We are Arena friends now.

HELLO FRIEND.

Great spell for token, murloc, evolve, etc shaman. Definitely playable!

Good sidequest and very easy to complete with a decent power!

Despite the many ways in which self damage and AOE are a boon to Warlock, the opportunity cost of running such a weak card in your deck is so high that I don't think this would see play at zero mana, let alone one. (E.g. does Beakered Lightning see any play despite the overload synergies?)

Whirlwind sometimes sees play in aggro warrior. I think the real issue isn't opportunity cost, it's the obvious counter-synergy between damaging everything and building wide token boards. which is typically what the warlock self-damage cards try to do.

Whirlwind sometimes sees play because Warrior frequently has ways to gain loads of tempo or armor by combing with small damage effects (e.g. Execute, Plague of Wrath, Bloodsworn Mercenary, Frothing Berserker, Armorsmith, etc.).

Warlock, on the other hand, gets one tick of self-harm out of this. You can get that easily from hero powering, it takes up zero card slots in your deck, and it draws you a card.

Warlock also gets tempo advantage from damaging itself, similar to warrior having masochistic minions. That's pretty much analogous, see: Diseased Vulture, Duskbat, Zzeraku the Warped or Deathweb Spider.

Life tap costs too much to be reasonably combined with most of these minions, which is why this type of synergy didn't really see play until Neferset Thrasher and Diseased Vulture were released. I don't think this card will be much use in that regard because of the aforementioned counter-synergy with tokens. Spirit Bomb does a better job at being a self-damage proc that's actually useful in that style of deck.

Cannon barrage is a powerful card and this is a really good cheap activator it has been missing.

Sooo, if you double his battlecry somehow, does that mean you effectively steal your opponent's hero power in exchange for your own?

Descent. Treat Druid might work this time.

Turn 3 Lightning meta.

Seriously, the body is great.

Decent galakrond invoking tool

Nice Galakrond, but you better have a great Turn 6 to compensate.

eeh not sure its as good as others say

I mean, its not horrible, but I think its far from broken

It will be tried in pirate warrior, and it might stick, but I doubt it will be the reason for their win

Unless they draw it in their starting hand with a 1 cost everytime, then its a different story

That Freeze Invoke spell will do wonders. 10/12 turn 5. 

Thank God this isn't Battlecry.

Does he summon more or just bigger Rushes?

Quest Shaman ridiculous this Christmas.
