I rated this straight 3 stars but if a weapon meta develops this is obviously going to be a major consideration. Overall I love this new mechanic, really ups the ante with regards to weapons.
I mean, if Kingsbane ever gets more support again this card will keep the deck in check. I don't see very much use for it currently, but it's probably good for this card to exist for the future.
Another amazing card for druid this expansion. The pool of dragons to discover is quite healthy and there are other dragons that help close the infinite value loop.
Good tech card with the upside of the Pirate tag. I don't think it's going to be all that necessary in standard (for now), but it could have a small impact in wild. It's main use is against "infinite" weapons like Kingsbane and Val'anyr. The fact that this is an epic card makes it a little expensive as a tech option, but cheaper than Harrison Jones. But ooze gets the job done for free against most weapons so... This is a real niche card. Designed for very specific purposes.
All side quests are very strong and I believe will see play in one way or another. While this one is not auto include, it will for sure enable some disgusting OTK...
Wow dude, you heavily overestimate the value of handspace....
This is wrong for 2 reasons:
- if played in a pirate deck, i can’t Imagine handspace ever being relevant.
- if played in a control deck, this card can generate extra value without drawing a card. And a weapon is a great control tool that can be played with spare mana, independed of the board state. And you will have spare mana when hand Space becomes relevant.
It's pretty neat design wise. But I can't think of too many weapons that are being run right now aside from... Desert Spear, Mirage blade and Super Collider. Also, when it "steals" a weapon do you equip it? or is it added to your hand ?
One of the best cards so far, simplistic but god darn good.
Think about it this way: is Shadow Bolt good? what about Town Crier ? If you answer yes or maybe to any of them, then they forbidden child, aka this card, is going to be a must play in any hunter deck that runs at least 1 more rush card.
For standard it clearly seems like a set up for a future expansion, when they might add more pirate synergy. In wild it might help pirate warrior to pull the class out of the bottom tier. We'll see. Maybe I should re-craft patches?
Was thinking the exact same thing, regarding this as a preparation for future expansions. but with a low attack, is it really a good weapon to run in an agressive deck? Well, I suppose that all weapon look kinda bad when compared to old Fiery War Axe , may he rest in peace.
I dont like the cost, but it might be tested on the place of cosmic anomaly, just because this one loses 2 attack for the chance of discovering a dragon,which is a powerful battlecry.
There is some meme deck to be had here, just unsure what or if it will be memey enough compared to the likes of Desert Obelisk and Mogu Cultist. Also, I think this year might have more raven cards than the Year of the Raven.
A VERY powerful tech card against specific opponents, but its limited use means that it is solely meta dependent. It's about as limited as Eater of Secrets in that unless the decks it counters explicitly are in the meta, it won't see play.

Dragonbane
To think I needed your comment to make me realize its an inspire effect
I brought shame to my famiri
Flik Skyshiv
wow not even a combo requirement. this is an auto include in most decks
New Druid Spell - Breath of Dreams
Crazy strong. Auto include in all the druid decks from now on and a good reason why all druid decks will have dragons.
New Warrior Weapon - Ancharrr
Pirate Warrior support!?!? In Standard ?!!!

New Druid Spell - Secure the Deck
All side quests are very strong and I believe will see play in one way or another. While this one is not auto include, it will for sure enable some disgusting OTK...
New Priest Spell - Breath of the Infinite
Cheap AoE with an easy enough requirement to pull of.
Priest always struggled with early pressure
New Druid Minion - Ysera, Unleashed
Too slow to be included in any deck. But we will see this card picked often from discover effects in long games. Generally more bad than good

Dread Raven
There is synergy with Ramkahen Wildtamer and Hunting Party. But I think the payoff is not enough to make it worth building a deck around.

The hordes they grow, and so do I,
The scourge is rising, you can't deny,
The lord of death craves your demise,
From the city below I shall rise.

Devoted Maniac
Why would you play this?
Not even the invoke tag would justify playing this abomination.
Its either the sleepiest card of all expansions or its just plain garbage.
I am betting on the latter one.
Dread Raven
Seems like a solid card. There's plenty of cards in standard and wild to make this work.
Sanctuary
The going first dream. Best sidequest so far you can play it after time out too!

Obligatory cute card of the expansion.

Priest Card Reveal - Breath of the Infinite
Good AoE card for Priest and i think it's good enough to see play standalone (no need for a Dragon deck).
