    Very scary indeed, Druid has lots of cards that don't care about stats at all in both formats. Combine Ramp with Cost reduction and you have a recipe for disaster... nerf candidate!

    The blade weapon itself looks fine, but I can't picture a deck for it yet. The big demon Hunter archetype doesn't seem to come together in this expansion. Too many weird pieces, too little Mana cheat even if this is a step in the right direction.

    I'm with sule here. This is a great early game card for decks that have to build up steam. I wouldn't be surprised if it found a home in Wild Big Shaman for example.

    My first impression is that I'm going to be disappointed if I pull this from a pack. I doubt it's going to see any competitive play, Magtheridon shenanigans or no.

    I've noticed that 1 damage AOE isn't enough in Wild anymore, many aggro decks have elevated their stuff to 2 Health. The Lifesteal is very valuable though so I expect this to see some play. Very interesting design!

    Skibidi toilet meets Hearthstone and now you can't unsee it :D

    Seriously though, I've played a bit of Even BBU DK in Wild and it was much fun and on an okay power level. Maybe Standard can get something going here, especially with the Rune adjustments. Summoning copies is a good idea in general, but it's probably worse than Nerubian Swarmguard because it summons one less copy and you can't pay the 5 corpses early anyway.

    Okayish card with fun potential, as usual. It's kinda weird how Warlock gets one of these almost every expansion (Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron, Rin, Orchestrator of Doom). Might need Taunt like Ra-den but maybe it's good enough as it is.

    Targeted revival usually ends up being very good and I don't expect this to be any different. The possibilities in Wild are endless and even in Standard you can do a lot of stuff with this, like getting your Sargeras back online who will be able to interact with a friendly portal from before if I remember correctly!

    Very cool card, just like the rest of the Warrior set. Also one more for a potential Wild Big Mech Warrior :D

    I'm confused? I mean sure there'es Hagatha 2.0 but what do I even want to target this with? Very weird card, I'm curiou what smarter people than me make of it.

    Count me in among the doubters. This seems extremely slow. Maybe you can get away with it in Standard, but I'd never play this in Wild.

    My first impression was that it is bad because you can't play it on curve without losing the temporary copy, but at worst it's a vanilla card that tutors a shadow spell which is okay. Also thanks for pointing out the Table Flip synergy, that's a nice idea.

    Awesome value for your dust obviously, and this time it comes with fun decks! I hope some of them are powerful enough to play this on ladder without getting steamrolled.

    Thanks for the table Suchti! Maybe it's just me being used to the Wild power level, but I'm not impressed. The whole package seems lacking something and I can't even tell you what it is because the set is all over the place. I don't have much hope for DH until the mini set.

    Nice minion if you can cheat it out. Demon Warlock hasn't been a thing in Wild for a while, but maybe it's time to give Skull of the Man'ari another spin. You could even argue this is better than Voidlord because the tokens are way better for later revival via Bloodreaver Gul'dan.

    I really like the pun but I don't see this getting played much. It pairs well with Going Down Swinging and the little Lifesteal Demon but it's not really progressing your game plan... Doesn't make the cut imo.

    Another card I'm super hyped for! Wild aggro decks will love this. Obviously Pirate Rogue, but also Aggro Druid and maybe even Shadow Priest. Turn 1 Treasure Distributor into two copies of 3/2 Parachute Brigand and 2/1 Patches anyone?

    Amazing art, amazing flavor, Hunter's favorite keyword, strong Battlecry, fits into current archetypes, ideal key word. Plush ticks all the boxes and HE'LL GET A DIAMOND VERSION!!

    Very cool artwork, especially on the signature version. I'm still not a fan as it requires some specific hoops to jump through to be worth running it that I don't like. Playing Shaman being the first of them lol.

    Pretty soild in a lot of decks and since Hunter usually has a problem with draw, this could actually turn out very good. I like it!
