So, this card is ok, especially for my playstyle it looks so funny, but sadly this is not control hunter longs for. It needs some endurance, not generating more stuff. That's why Deathstalker Rexxar was/is/will be a must have card. Not Just for infinite value.
Completely agree. In my Reno Dragon Hunter deck, I most often use Deathstalker Rexxar for the battlecry and armor.
You're assuming Cyclone Mage is still going to be relevant. Another person thinking they have the new meta figured out before the expansion even hits...
I'm not the first person to suggest this, but I think it's likely and would be a good move. For newer players and players with smaller collections, Whizbang is an easy way to play decks that are at least decent (no, I haven't thoroughly vetted all the recipes, but I imagine some are okay?), and can help with figuring out deck types and play-styles you like before making crafting choices. Also, with the recent addition of SN1P-SN4P to Boomsday, they will have pre-emptively replaced the missing neutral legendary from that set.
So the thing is, and you can already see it with Zayle Shadowcloak, that they are just going to print more cards that are similar to Whizbang. These “deck cards” can be used in the future as an incentive to buy packs at least once every standard rotation. Whizbang will probably be the best (IMO) because it had access to all the classes and their recipes whereas Zayle only has access to the league of evil classes..... which made me just realize that they’ll probably print another card for the Eplorers decks.
Honestly I could see using both in Highlander. Master's Call is great even if your deck isn't all beasts. Never underestimate the power of being able to discover which minion you would like to draw!
It’s certainly interesting and could enable some cool plays.
problem is if the meta doesn’t slow down or rogue doesn’t get some survival tools then idk about it in standard plus the standard deathrattles aren’t many that are great
I was thinking about this recently, and in all honesty I think the introduction of SN1P-SN4P makes it much more likely that they want to move Whizbang to Classic. Think about it...
They created and released a whole new Neutral legendary in the set that includes Whizbang, and Whizbang's whole functionality revolves around the current Standard deck recipes. Sn1p could have very well just been some fun addition as part of an in game event, OR maybe they chose a new neutral legendary mech to tie into the event theme and seamlessly integrate a new legendary to take Whizbang's place in the set?
To me the only real question is: Does Whizbang move to Classic, or does he become a reward in the Basic set for unlocking all the cards or reaching some other goal? Honestly I would say it'll become Classic so they don't have to figure out dust refunds for players. I also kind of hope he'll get moved to be a reward in the Basic set and be renamed "Harth Stonebrew" with new art of the Innkeeper. It honestly just makes sense, and we've seen them due a "rebrand" of a card already ([Hearthstone Card (Succubus) Not Found] into Felstalker)

Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the navigation would fail to load correctly on some pages.
Fixed an issue where comments were causing issues loading some pages due to a bad deploy.
Fixed an issue preventing comment jumping from going to the correct comment.
Notifications are almost there. We've got a few things to tweak with them and we'll let you have access to them. Achievements are backlogged a bit further -- card reveals have been disturbing development zen.
You'd have to test that. Cards with "deathrattle: shuffle this into your deck" have odd and inconsistent interactions with double deathrattle triggers, presumably the same holds true for putting it back into your hand. I can easily imagine it only triggering once b/c there's only one card to put back into hand, or 2 scarabs 1 anub.
But even if we assume you get two Anub'araks back in hand, they'd be full cost so you'd probably never find the time to get them both into play.
Another Anka, the Buried maybe ? I'd like to use Shadowstep on Anka to decrease other deathrattles as well. Infinite nerubian loop. lol.
Well I don't think it gives 2 Anub'araks to your hand. When you double Youthful Brewmaster's battlecry, it gives only one. So "Return" can't be doubled in hearthstone in my experience. Also it would be awkward if it does because first one returns and there is nothing to return to your hand.
I need to build a infinite nerubian loop deck. That will be an awesome themed deck. might not work but sounds fun. :D
I think the problem is that the last reno had inspired so many different decks over the years, and he created a whole new arch-type. he is easily one of the most influential hearthstone cards ever printed. so the bar was very high for this guy, and so even if he dealt 15 damage, he would still disappoint his audience.
but I have played enough Volcano to know that this 10 damage to enemy minions will be enough to clear a board. some people are saying that it is a shame that it does not hit face, but that is a good thing. if he it face then he would not be able to reliably kill minions because he might hit face, and he would not be able to reliably hit face because of your opponent's minions.
this guy is like 2 Cinderstorms on a stick, only better at killing minions, he might not be the best build-around guy, but you have to admit that this effect is very powerful, and I have a hunch that we have not seen the last of the highlander cards this expansion has to offer.
Usually giving your opponent Murlocs won't help them whatsoever.
You are giving them something when they had nothing. Even if it does nothing more than add 2 ATK to the board, you gave them that for free. It is almost never a negative for them.
Typical arena player response. :D
in ladder, they don't want to play it most likely because of they lose their calculated tempo. You are right about adding a little value to their hand but it is a murloc so this is still better than Tanglefur Mystic or Spellslinger. Aggro can conjure a benefit from it but I don't think a control or combo player wants this in hand. They stay at 8-9 cards holded most of the time and it may cause a card-burn.
in a mirror match as Murloc Shaman vs Murloc Shaman, playing this could be a nightmare for you.

Ok there might not be a card "Whenever you recruit a minion, restore 2 health to your hero or deal x dmg or sth like that" but if there was, Tip the Scales will do nothing to trigger it but Woecleaver would trigger it and he just pointed it out.
Uldum Hunter Card Reveal - Hunter's Pack
Completely agree. In my Reno Dragon Hunter deck, I most often use Deathstalker Rexxar for the battlecry and armor.
New Rogue Minion - Anka, the Buried
As someone who relies on Spirit of the Shark + Galvanizer to make Mecha'thun Rogue work, this is a blessing.
Also can't wait to try Hakkar, the Soulflayer in another class other than Paladin or Druid

Fishflinger
Nice combo with Hungry Crab! Give the opponent a Murloc, they spend mana to play It, then you get to eat it and give your crab +2/+2!
Untamed Menagerie Paladin
Could be combo'd with the new card Fishflinger too! Essentially makes the opponent spend mana to give your crab +2/+2!
New Neutral Minion - Fishflinger
Don't give me fishes, teach me how to catch them !

Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]
I Don't know if there is any special thing I have to do when making the card to show it is a Treasure card, but it is.
Next Art:
Must be a minion named 'Soul Herder' and it must be an absolutely awesome card because this is my favorite piece of art from MTG.
Uldum Warlock Card Reveal - EVIL Recruiter
Remember when Warlock had to get understated or over priced cards because their hero power is so bonkers?
Uldum Rogue Legendary Minion Reveal - Anka, the Buried
Yeah it was pretty unfortunate. But hey, I'm here to wait for cards for you guys so you don't have to. =)
Two Uldum Cards Revealed - Fishflinger & Tip the Scales
no it is not.
Ok there might not be a card "Whenever you recruit a minion, restore 2 health to your hero or deal x dmg or sth like that" but if there was, Tip the Scales will do nothing to trigger it but Woecleaver would trigger it and he just pointed it out.
It is like Charged Devilsaur and Rush difference.
New Rogue Minion - Anka, the Buried
wow, another way to Hakkar, the Soulflayer which is one of my favorite Rogue decks.
+ you can fill your decks with Togwaggle's Scheme better than only Academic Espionage in RR times.
And it gives some more tempo than older version. Liked it.
Ah yeah I forgot about fatigue lol.
