    This minion looks sick - is there any way to consistently abuse it? Maybe Germination?

    My first impression is that with only two charges (together with 2 attack) for 4 mana, without any efficient ways of increasing the durability outside of Captain Greenskin, it may be a bit underwhelming.

    The card is fun and probably good too, it's just that is seems on a lower level compared to stuff like Wrenchcalibur, Ancharrr and Marrowslicer.

    I'm quite confident we'll see more Secret support for Hunter given that they printed Petting Zoo, but yeah: 4 mana 2/2...

    In a vacuum this would be an easy 5 star card: even just  a 1 mana discount will make the card worth the cost.

    The point is: is this the only payoff for Menagerie Warrior (outside of N'Zoth, God of the Deep and Ringmaster's Baton) or is there something else? And in case the answer is yes: will it stand a chance against the other Meta decks?
     

    I'm thrilled to know the answer. After all, N'Zoth, God of the Deep is my favorite of the new Old Gods.

    Kirin Tor Mage into Secret into proc or Occult Conjurer is one hell of a curve, especially with Cloud Prince as an on-curve play in case of missed proc.

    That's crazy.

    Not really, since you need to Corrupt it before being worth a slot in Wild Secret Mage.

    Currently, the only activators are Aluneth and Cloud Prince, which makes the card quite clunky.

    On the other hand, Arcane Keysmith is seeing no play in the archetype despite being around the same card.

     

    I'm not saying the card is bad (I actually think it is pretty damn strong), but just that it is not likely to be included in Secret Mage.

    Very lively - I have to admit that Team 5 have stepped up their game when it comes to card backs and animation in general.

    This card back reminds me of Harbinger Celestia - although they are both amazing, it's a real shame that Celestia hasn't seen any play in the first 2 years of her existence (and I'm quite grim about any future chances).

    Definitely one of the best card backs released yet.

    This is actually a cool idea - I don't know if I'll still be playing the game by then, but this is a thing I'd really love to see in the future.

    This is such a cool card back - we also saw the entire making process, which makes it even more special!

    Quote From kaladin

    great part of battlegrounds is kalecgos turn 9 is too slow.  i am a losing player because i cant figure out how to get kalecgos on turn 7 or 6,

    The point is that there isn't a unit that singlehandedly wins you games. Even if you get Kalecgos "on curve" you still need other dragons and a rather solid board that allows you to transition into full Battlecry spam mode without losing most of your health.

    Kalecgos on 9 is not slow, but it takes more than just slam it on the board and wait for obscene rolls.
