I love Siamat. Don't know if it will truly be the next Zilliax, but i will surely play it in multiple decks in Standard and Wild. Especially interesting for Frost Lich Jaina Decks.
Much agreed with DoubleSummon! If I make a highlander deck, this is going in it. There are all sorts of minions that this helps you feel better about playing in less optimal situations.
I Priested with Vargoth, the stealth guy that sends a 1/1 back after death, the lifesteal spell, a thoughtsteal spell, madam lazul and mind control. My oppo quit after my board stayed full and his whittled down.
Even though I would consider this to be in the top3 hunter cards this expansion, I don't think it will see regular play (atleast not in the popular/tier 1 decks).
My guess is that Secret, Mech and Master's Call Hunter will be the 3 contenders for the top Hunter Deck. This doesn't fit in any of those.
Mech Hunter doesn't run any beasts and Master's Call breaks its synergy by including it (which is really sad, it would be the one to profit the most from it).
Secret Hunter could use it to copy the new Hyena Alpha or some other beast you might run in there like Lifedrinker. But seems a bit inconsistent, it would be kind of a highroll thing. EITHER you draw it and the Hyena until turn 3 (I don't think you would keep the Wildtamer in your Mulligan) and copy a Hyena Alpha to snowball for 2 turns OR you have a mediocre 3-drop until you draw another beast. Even if you get lucky like that, you might have to play other 3-drops ( Eaglehorn Bow, Deadly Shot ) on turn 3 first to not get snowballed yourself. And then on turn 4 you don't want to copy your Hyena, you want to play it. You might also accidentally copy Subject 9 lol. Lastly 3 drop spots are already contested by top tier cards in Secret Hunter.
That said, this is a pretty strong combo, so maybe it'll become a tech for some matchups or something. And there might be some new Hunter archetype that can use it to surpass the big 3 Hunter decks. I'll definitely run this in some combo Hunter myself, will be fun.
And there's no such thing as neutral minions. You're totally right, my bad
Sure, have fun with your amani berserkers and crystalizers in a meta where even zoolock with their flame imps and life tap are struggling to keep up. Also, northshire cleric is a great card. A shame you can't run more than a pair of them, because minion based tempo decks need to have 1 drops on 1 consistently to not fall behind against literally anything
You can have fun with your turtles too. The reason no one is running them is because the burn decks like bomb warrior and rogue are going to eat you alive. The goal is to heal things, but keep in mind that your (good) heal face options are limited to divine hymn and priests running divine hymn are dying to burn decks hard enough as it is without hitting themselves. The turtle isn't good tempo either, despite what it says on the tin; it's not 3 mana 3/5, it's more like 4 or 5 mana 3/5 because healing your face costs mana. Even disregarding the need for a heal followup, a 3 mana 3/5 is just good arena stats; you need to be a lot more broken than good arena stats to see play in constructed
In any case, I'm done here. We'll see just how bad this card is soon enough when the expansion drops. Priest has had a long history of getting the bad end of legendary prints and I've spotted them a mile away each time (and I always get downvoted because everyone really love their shitty priest legendaries)
You are indeed done here. Plenty of time to write several paragraphs yelling at me, but apparently not enough time to actually look at the list I posted. No worries, have fun in other places
Its Aluneth on steroids. Could be something in an aggro deck. To be able to draw 8 when you run out of steam is kind a...nice. Imagine a mage saves this for late game, then attack with it, then conjures calling it gives you 8 damage, 2 8 cost cards and 8 card draw. The total nuts. Even more nuts when it costs less, say 1 mana after galaxy spell. And it goes in the 8-pool of possible summons of conjure's calling. I now already believe that the 8 mana pool is one of the best.
Played this a bunch back in the day. It's really hard to pull off, but when it works, so fun! Arcane Tyrants work well here, maybe instead of the Greedy Sprites. You really want Oaken Summons to hit those Ironbarks.
That was one thing I'm still conflicted on with this deck. Ever since they nerfed Wild Growth it's hard to get the ramp needed to sustain. I may take it out and replace it with some sort of other stall/draw effect and see how it does.
Control warlock got a lot of removal this expansion as well as tonnes of new zoo options, the fact that the zoo deck lost to priest doesn't mean zoo is bad, the list used in stream tried to showcase as many new cards as possible and is by no means optimal..
Zoo looks promising this time around with many new tools and sticky minions it can use as well as lackey synergies.
Control warlock although gaining more removal still seem to lack strong late game and the quest seem to be part of the plot twist deck which is fun and works well with reborn minions.
I think there should be some tinkering before you totally dismiss warlock the lackey synergies seem quite powerful.
The only card that will make your opponent not to rage quit once you got the combo card, because he will ensures that his last card in the deck will be combo piece, until he realized it...

New Hunter Spell - Unseal the Vault
Not a versatile card. Only fits one type of Hunter deck. But what an asset this card will be in that type of deck!

Nah, as we could see, it was(in a mage game, I think) a Druid card, Hunter card and a Neutral.

A boat is a boat, but the mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat!
Mischief Maker
I like that this card exists.
Yes, it's bad, but it means we might see more "top of deck" interactions in the future. I've wanted one of those in the game for quite a while.
Vulpera Scoundrel
It is probably something like:
"Discover a spell. If all three choices suck balls, get another random one."

You know they only named her this for the pun. Still, interesting card.

Terrific card for the new big spell/choose one druid archetype. Who cares about floating mana when you get 6/7 stats for four mana?

And also counters a lot of Mechathun combo's.
