Its thief priest support.

Yup, that about does it for a review. Its not supposed to be good, which it really isn't, but its kinda the stuff priest tends to get one way or another.

When I saw all the druid cards prior to this, I had hoped that we might actually have a mild druid set this time round.

And then I saw Crypt Keeper and immediately get that feeling 'Here the fuck we go again'

I'd just like to remind team5 that there are other classes in the game besides druid. Because in what world is this card fair considering that Feral Rage only costs 3 mana? Even if its not on turn 3, the fact that its can easily cost 0 should immediately ring alarm bells. You'd think anyway.

Hopefully there's a typo somewhere, this cant be real.

This card is insane. In fact, I wont be too surprised to see it nerfed week 1.

Feral Rage instantly makes a 4/6 taunt + gain 8 armor. Is team5 on coke? Or are we entertaining the idea that druid shouldn't actually have any weaknesses? Hell, you dont even need this on 3, as long as it costs 0 its already 100% certain to be broken.

We've seen one big boy in Blightblood Berserker, the real question is whether there is any cheap minions we can avoid putting into the deck just to increase this card's consistency.

Clownfish disagrees, and I agree with clownfish. This card can get better, but until there's an actual reason to run big, its unplayable trash.

Lol, no.

Outcast itself is already pretty much a weak description and here comes a card that can only ever get good if you play a bunch of them. Unless we're looking at plenty of cheap outcast cards (or an outcast generator) being introduced in this expansion we're very unlikely to ever see this being played, because its simply not worth the contrivance over guaranteed stuff like relics.

And the body itself is so weak compared to its conditions. Had this been a 6/6 or a 7/7 it might actually be worth doing.

Edit: Seems like team5 went on to not only print a cheap outcast card they also printed a cheap outcast generator. Fine. 1 extra star for this to get from shit to better shinier shit.

Probably not good. As we have experienced, Deathstalker Rexxar in standard right now isn't really any good, its actually worse than tavish if you can believe that.

Another problem being the beast pool is full of unplayable stuff. Without lifesteal beasts like Vicious Scalehide, the whole zombeast thing tends to fall apart really quickly, because its slow as hell.

That said, it might actually see play, because midrange hunter needs some reload, and while it isn't good its still reload. There might be more synergies with zombeasts, because Im fairly sure team5 would be aware of how shit it is in standard.

In aggro shadow priest this card is pretty good. 3 mana for a 3/3 and then another 3/3 for free later on? That's good enough for 3 mana. Slow, but aggro decks need reload, and a 3/3 for 3 is hardly worthless for an aggro deck.

Doesn't exactly tell us what priest's identity for this expansion would be though. Is the 'do a thing when you play a thing' seriously an archetype worth exploring?

Yet another one of those cards that are perfectly good in other classes but in druid remains complete unplayable trash.

If Colaque couldn't get into the game what makes anyone think this one will? The only way it'll ever see play (and by my book the chances are about as high as the ground up to a dog's turd) is via deathrattle shenanigans.

There's simply better ways to gain armor, rather than rely on something like this, at 7 mana no less.

I love the imaged used for Regis. <3

I'm pretty sure it was just a plot contrivance. Back in Cataclysm, Sylvanas gained the service of Arthas' val'kyr, and she was using them to resurrect fallen Alliance soldiers into new Forsaken. One of the reasons the worgen were brought into the Alliance's ranks was to convert their forces in Lordaeron into worgen so that Sylvanas couldn't do that.

The reason why The Lich King is the exception is so they could justify you rolling a worgen death knight.

I only got to watch the stream for 20 minutes today so no pack for me. I will make sure I get in an hour tomorrow.

In my experience, you can never count on random minion generation, and the pool of (3) drops isn't something I'd blindly tap into ; Minions that you want to play should be included in your decklist, not wishfully integrated through discovery and sheer luck  ... also, the fact that it plain-out sucks on curve makes it slow and worthless ..

Spellbender on a stick? Or the stick is Spellbender considering that's the name of the card...😅

Weird tech card, won't see play.

Spellbender is the stick ^^
Weird tech indeed

The interesting part about this card is that it has a deathrattle, and the theme of this expansion being deathrattles means there has got to be a way to either cheat this out or trigger it.

Aside from that, this is a solid 8 drop for shaman, even if youre not focusing on the deathrattles. Basically this will almost always heal you for 6, and having both lifesteal and taunt means it can never truly be ignored on board.

This is one card that really requires a silence, because conventional removal will likely prove counter productive.

Wtf is Lingering Zombie. Why does it have so much fucking stats for the cost. Guess Druids just get all the good shit by defaul

Can't think of any obvious candidates for this card, but undoubtedly this card is clunky as hell.

The main problem is the question of whether you throw this out on board or you're actually suggesting that a minion with a deathrattle (and good one as well) would somehow actually survive a turn for you to gain value out of this guaranteed. Because if its thrown on board, then only a fool will proct your deathrattle without first removing this thing. It only has 3 health, unlikely to survive anything past turn 3.

Its best hope is to be played as a turn 1 minion, then drop a deathrattle on turn 2 and cross fingers.

The return of the "You win if you go first" brawl.

Its basically Savage Roar in another name, weaker but still good.

Its good, dont get me wrong, but whereas similar finisher cards in the past tended to be at least unconditional, this one is both conditional and is nearly useless outside of ending the game.

Im actually not too sure how to rate this card.

On one hand it actually does what warlock wants to do, which is to gain life and dealing face damage is decent if not a good bonus. But its high cost make this a little forbidding. Because assuming most controlock decks would play curses, where does this card even fit in?

Its only redeeming factor is that its not a bad card at all. In fact, its good enough that even playing it doesn't feel all that wrong. But the only deck I can see this appear in is XL decks.

Im actually interested. Is there a contrivance as to why this can't happen, except as death knights?

Far as I know, the curse is actually a druid thing, so its related to nature magic as opposed to arcane or necromancy. So why cant worgen come back as undead?
