    Quick games, a decent amount of SMOrc and a helluvalot of MRGLGLGL: it's definitely a decent brawl to farm some sweet gold.

    I remember when something similar happened back in September, but they never acknowledged it.

    However, it's different this time: Chris Attalus (community manager) said that they are aware of it and that they're looking into it.

    Hopefully things will go back to normality soon

    Given that the card will be revealed by Alliestrasza, I really don't have the slightest clue about what it will be...      /s

    I don't know if I'm overestimating this card, but I'm going to keep all the copies I get from packs, just to be sure (if you know what I mean)

    Daily reminder that Mind Control Tech is a fucking stupid card I can't stand losing to. Fuck that card and even more fuck those who play it.

    This in not a card you want to play on curve for tempo: consider it as an Emperor Thaurissan that you play either when you have your combo ready in hand or when you can discount many value cards in a single swoop.

    Man the more I look at it and the more I crave it

    How's this card garbage?

    It gives Rogue, a class focused on combos, burst damage and miracle turns, 3 zero cost spells that give you a mana crystal.

    3 mana draw 3: pretty decent, even more if you couple it with Shadow of Death or Waxadred

    In order to rightfully evaluate this card, I think we should read its effect like "Taunt. Battlecry: summon 2 1/1 Imps/Add a random Lackey to your hand/add a random Priest minion to your hand/whatever the Shaman and Warrior hero power can do".

    In this case, I dare to say that it's pretty fucking good given that even EVIL Cable Rat, a 2 mana 1/1 that most people considered to be trash, has been seeing tons of play.

    If Galakrond will see play, this card will almost certainly be played as well.

    Good base for Zilliax, even more on curve

    Heh, cool but I don't know about it.

    It may make the cut since there are so few 3 mana dragons available (Brightwing and Marsh Drake) and it even "draws" a card, but it's not a gamebreaking card for sure.

    If played on curve, this is a really big threat for the opponent's early game.

    It one shots Flame Imp, one of the best 1 drops in the game, alongside with all the other fairly common ones (Town Crier, SecretkeeperMurloc Tidecaller, Lightwarden, Pharaoh Cat and so on), with the exception of Eternium Rover and Northshire Cleric (which however can be death with the following turn together with a trade).

    It will see plenty of play in all non-exclusively-beasts Hunter decks and I'm sure we'll grow to hate him as much as we've hated Eternium Rover, Dire Mole and Northshire Cleric

    Why are you downvoting him? He's right.

    This card seems fun but we have to acknowledge that it messes up Zephrys the Great (which is not a small detail at all) and for it to be at least decent we should receive a couple of proactive dragons with Rush (yeah, no Rush Dragons so far) or other mechanics that immediately affect the board (maybe a small stats buff? I don't know I'm just brainstorming).

    Either way, we just have to wait another months to know.

    Current Demons pool in Standard (to be uploaded with the remaining DoD reveals):

    GOOD OUTCOMES: Jumbo Imp,Fel Lord Betrug, Siegebreaker, Aranasi Broodmother, Dread InfernalRiftcleaver, Illidan Stormrage and maybe Lord Jaraxxus

    DECENT OUTCOMES: SathrovarrMad Summoner, Portal Overfiend, Pit Lord, Felsoul Inquisitor, Felguard and maybe Felstalker

    BAD OUTCOMES: Witchwood Imp, Voidwalker, Blood Imp, Flame Imp, Void Analyst, Vilefiend, Void Terror, Nethersoul Buster, Doubling Imp, Witchwood Piper, Portal Keeper

    So 8 good outcomes, 7 decent outcomes and 11 bad outcomes. I think we'll receive at least another 1 or 2 big demons (even neutral ones) in order to justify this effect

    Hopefully, no cheap Dragon tutor will ever be printed.

    Well you can use Call to Adventure if you want to run a Big Paladin list

    Yeah, they should balance it by nerfing Leper Gnome to "Deathrattle: deal 1 damage to the enemy hero": that's definitely too stronk the way it is now.

    I agree with you, but that may lead to the conclusion that Galakrond is just that good that it even may justify a 4 mana 2/2 with Rush in your deck.

    I remember people saying that 2 mana 1/1 EVIL Cable Rat was too weak and would have never seen play, but it's actually been one of the most played cards in all the Rise of Shadows expansion.
