    Nope, absolutely not good enough. It's a nice outcome for random effects that summon a 3 cost minion like Wandering Monster, but that's about it.

    Awesome card for a multitude of decks, some of them being Even Shaman, Even Paladin, QL Druid, maybe Even DK. Oh and don't forget DK Uther OTK decks :D

    Yeah, obviously a big W on flavor, but way too slow to be useful. Especially considering it's in the same set as Messmaker.

    The general sentiment seems to be this isn't it and I agree. The big plus is that you won't have a feels bad moment pulling this from packs if you've preordered one of the bundles.

    I'm here for Handbuff DK and this is a very solid piece for it. Even if you don't upgrade the Spellstone, +1/+1 for all your Undead is nothing to scoff at since most minions you'll want to run in that deck share this tribe anyway.

    Nice filler card if you have a deckspot left and don't know what do add. I'm still mad about Shroomscavate being a card. Wild probably doesn't need it?

    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.
