Anybody knows if you just steal it in your hand or it should be stolen "in play" and maintain all buffs on that and remain "on field" but in your side?
(sorry for bad english, not sure if I express myself right)
Even if you went full Shuffle you can't play more than 3 a turn...at that point they're just worse Pogo Hoppers
Hunter technically has the ability to combine them with Tundra Rhino, but even then, you'd need the Rhino to stick before you can do anything with the birds.
The best I can come up with (only as a meme) is to Scarlet Webweaver the bird, then Hunting Party twice, play a Tundra Rhino and charge 4 0-cost ravens into your opponents face for big damage. Wouldn't be the first Hunter OTK that noone played because it takes too much work to set up.
There is no way this means RIP secret mage. You can win plenty of games without Aluneth and even if you play it, you only really need it to go off once. I reckon it'll be like eater of secrets - sometimes it might wreck their game plan but more often it will wreck yours.
It’s a fair arena card that will occasionally have extra attack. It’s also a contender for being put into Battlegrounds, and I have no idea how good it would be there.
in standard there's only about...8 pirates that Warrior can access (at the time of this reveal, 9). It might have a home in a mid-range quest warrior deck, since one of their biggest weaknesses was card draw, but I need to see more pirates
I can see this card being very powerful in Arena, however for standard I really cannot see this making the cut. It is simply too 'fair' of a card. Unless the meta goes full midrange where value trades matter, this card will not see play.
Oh boy what a card, obviously just a much better Antique Healbot but Paladin only.
Highlander Paladin with a higher mana curve and a midrange Dragon deck would absolutely love this card. This might also make Zandalari Templar more playable? I doubt it but this card has some serious potential, very happy with it! Also worth noting that this is similar to Darkshire Alchemist in that it can target any character, not just healing face.
Getting this out early could be pretty powerful, coining it out against someone with no 1 drop or hero power which deals damage is obviously quite strong.
My problem is seeing how you can reliably complete this during the mid to late game. Unless you have a bunch of taunts already out then your opponent can always ensure 1 damage goes face to prevent it activating. Mage and Hunter completely lock this out if they so wish, but it does have nice synergy with Time Out!.
Perhaps I am not seeing it, but right now it seems worse and harder to reliably pull off than the mage side-quest Learn Draconic.
So, very similar to Val'anyr but its faster so long as there are dragons in hand - don't need to break a weapon for the buff. Downside is you cannot always control when the deathrattle will go off.
Could be strong if a midrange minion focused Dragon Paladin is a thing.
in wild Dread Raven on T3 (high health so likely to survive) then Dire Frenzy it later on some [Hearthstone Card (thundra rhino) Not Found] Dread Ravens shenanigens with some thaurissan cost reduction in a tempo beast build
Seems quite powerful, doesn't need to be played on curve and can be kept to eat up a bunch of buffs and then played later on as a very large and cheap threat. Could help a Big Paladin archetype out, where the opponents ramp does not have as much impact as your own.
Definitely a fun card, will certainly see some play because of it.
Epic Card Reveal - Dread Raven
huh... Set it to 0 mana, then Ramkahen Wildtamer, then Hunting Party, Rhino... thats 62 Damage, right?
New Priest Spell - Breath of the Infinite
Not a flashy card, but will be used. Beautiful art.
New Hunter Minion - Diving Gryphon
auto include in every hunter deck. this power creep is insane
Epic Card Reveal - Dread Raven
A decent target for that 8th tier clone priest deck :)

And with the Rogue card that puts shadow cards that summon one on draw. (I don't wanna look it up)
New Neutral Minion - Dread Raven
I don't see this achieving much.

Warrior Legendary Weapon Reveal - Ancharrr
Draws, not summons. 3 mana 2/3 , a firey waraxe with a draw engine is nothing to scoff at. Even if its pirates.
Ancharrr
I already loathe this card. Pirate warrior was disgusting and stressful to play against. [Hearthstone Card (Patches) Not Found] Ptsd intensifies...
Ancharrr
This...just doesn't look strong.

Epic Card Reveal - Dread Raven
And here we have another reason for Flik Skyshiv
One of the sleeper cards in this set so far.
New Paladin Spell - Sand Breath
Nice cheap effective buff card for Paladin.

Epic filler, useless in Constructed.

Just when you thought it was safe to play aggro.
Epic Card Reveal - Dread Raven

Epic Card Reveal - Dread Raven
looks like shenaniganas, but a 3-mana 3/4 with Beast Tag and an upside could see play once Nightmare Amalgam rotates.
New Paladin Minion - Nozdormu the Timeless

Wild Pirate Warrior support. In standard there is just not enough strong pirates (yet).
Epic Card Reveal - Dread Raven
Maybe Hunter could pull off something with Charge
Dread Raven
Yep, this looks just like a Battlegrounds card for me. It has zero constructed viability and will see play in arena for its vanilla stats.
