I like cards like this but community mostly do not. Interfereing is one of the most hateful mechanics of card games, I hope it doesn't affect Hearthstone so much with other disruption cards of this expansion.
Part of me says this is a lot better than the eggs since it has an attack value and so you can trade with it and get the big stats, another part of me says this is worse than the eggs since it has an attack value and so your opponent knows it will die and trade into it and not let you pull off your deathrattle shenanigans.
It is fairly slow, but if you are able to trigger it at least twice it is enough stats to justify running.
This is +1 mana on nerubian egg for +1 attack, which lets you trade it more easily, but deathrattle hunter decks would much rather have the egg in play a turn earlier.
Don't you guys miss the part that this card has a minion tag as "Beast" ? Of course this card is better than eggs. You can tutor it with Scavenger's Ingenuity at the very least.
I will get so much hate for this comment probably but; The card's image feels like it is made for people who will cry "Why isn't there any black people in this expansion ?"
What happened to %50 chance flavour of Ogres ? I missed those times. Like Elekk's flavour, i feel like they keep doing it for Ogres too but well, Ogre Magi is with us since beta so who I am to judge.
I don't think other decks will use this card, so I put Malygos in S Tier. I believe Primordial Studies is a combo card neither a control nor tempo nor Midrange nor Aggro. I thought that this card must be a part of spell based combo deck with Malygos since it discovers a spell damage minion and decrease its cost.
Probably its not position but summon order. First summoned minion attacks first then next summoned, then the next one etc. So Ace Hunter Kreen will probably attack lastly if you play it lastly before you attack.
I feel like steal should become a keyword in following expansions and there should be cards that synergize with steal effects.
For the minion itself, I want to try my chance with Drakkari Enchanter. It would be like growing Baron Geddon for only minions.
Edit: Oh boy, I can already seeing that King Phaoris summons this.
Great card for the 10 mana pool for cards like Conjurer's Calling.

In OOC we trust !

is it just me or Hooked Scimitar and Waggle Pick are just better options ? Well, at least they will leave standard at some point.
Which both classes ? Paladin and Paladin ? :D

SJW was here.

I wish Rogue shares dual class with Hunter and gets a dual class secret but at least there is one secret for her isn't it ? :)
Let the Theorycrafting begins !
Yeah, like priest needs to be aggro class, ok...
Best card so far
no he doesn't because you can't discover da Undatakah from cards which discover deathrattle cards. He is just overpressuring.
It doesn't have Spell Damage unfortunately, it will "gain" spell damage after you cast spell. :) Like how Mok'Nathal Lion doesn't have deathrattle.
Spellbook Binder enabler.
it is a Shaman/Mage card. Also new Mage Legendary gains Spell Damage after you cast a spell, it is a vanilla minion when you play it.
Speaker Gidra + Mark of the Wild = 5 mana 5/8 Taunt, Windfury, Rush.
I want to see Mark of the Wild in the meta.
Just hover over "Expansions" and click "Scholomance Academy" under Year of the Phoenix . You can see all of the revealed cards at same place there.
If you are on phone, touch paragraph icon on top right, then touch on "Expansions", then touch on "Scholomance Academy Guide"

Btw if you don't count this as a spam, the minion list and tier list for standard (probably tier list is garbage :P);
S tier
Astromancer Solarian
Lady Vashj
Malygos (You will probably have Malygos in your deck for this card so if you didn't draw, you want it earlier so it is in S tier)
Tier 1
Azure Explorer
Bloodmage Thalnos
Violet Warden
Squallhunter
Tier 2
Ogre Magi
Lab Partner
Don't Pick unless these are only choices Tier
Archmage (maybe)
Kobold Geomancer (maybe)
Kirin Tor Tricaster (So specific maybe)
Dalaran Mage (NO)
Mana Reservoir (NO)
