Most adorable card of the set! This card will definitely see play in Dragon Druid (if it survives rotation which I'm sure it will) and now Dragon Priest. The battlecry is ofc much better in Dragon Druid thanks to Dragon Golem but I'd imagine Dragon Priest being a midrange deck so it could benefit as well.
This card will be a staple along with Master's Call in every beast hunter deck going forward this year. Hunter is definitely not lacking on draw anymore. Also this card is so much better than a 2 mana draw 2 as it specifically tutors a minion and spell and most times you'll be getting both cards unless randomly generated.
So the ideal scenario is to buff this adorable plushie which will become easier with time as more cards are released. Messenger Buzzard Will be one of those crucial cards. I do have my doubts though as Blizzard did remove big beast support from the core set (only really Selective Breeder though). Bestial Madness Might even see some play now.
Having Wheel of DEATH!!! randomly cast is going to be so much worse than a random Bonelord Frostwhisper. This card will probably cause many instant concedes as there is no real up-side other than your opponent dying after 5 turns. Defect a meme card as well coz with warlock, they still have access to the fatigue cards so you're probably going to take a lot more damage than 15 (factoring in the fatigue damage starting at 1). But ofc, none of this really matters coz the main issue is playing this on turn 8 and doing nothing so if there is a meme deck that does utilizes this spell, it'd have to discount the mana cost.
Overall, I'd hate to open this legendary on pack opening day.
This is a far superior Cutlass Courier, even if toy boat doesn't tutor anything specifically coz you can draw a lot more with toy boat in 1 turn if you keep summoning cheap pirates. Definitely a bit concerned about pirate rogue in wild now. Could put it over the edge...
Thanks for the giveaway Flux and do enjoy the chance of multiple entries to increase our odds at winning. All the best to everyone who can comment on every new card and open the most packs through the simulator (wonder if some peeps would go far enough to make a bot to open packs 😏)
Would've forgotten about Sire Denathrius if you didn't mention him. I guess with the amount of rush tokens or ways to reliable draw him in the early game and beef him up with the amount of infuse, it would create a consistent OTK (especially paired with Brann). Then again, there's the age old response of: "Wild games never get to 10 mana."
There can be good and bad opinions regarding the new stance on achievements. Good - that it'll probably take less time to get more XP or tackle the achievements you want to per class. Bad - it could be seen as Blizzard "cutting costs" by reducing the variety of achievements and spending less time curating them.
Sooooo why did Blizzard remove Drakonid Operative from Core then add more Dragon Priest Support? I guess I'll let it fly seeing as they added Ship's Chirurgeon to replace him. Guess the new dragon works well with Scale Replica
Another Edit: I honestly don't think Timewinder Zarimi will be that terrifying. If you're playing dragon priest, it's mostly a midrange deck and if you want to do a TTK combo, you'd be sacrificing a lot of consistency on the 5 dragon requirement.
Loving all the chess and DnD references but it's a shame Mal'Ganis is leaving core come rotation. I wonder if Team 5 removed him coz he was too good with all this big demon support
Yea, any hand buffs seem to override the 1/1 aura. Anubisath Warbringer also pretty good
Edit: I see what you mean though with Lor'themar Theron. The double stat buff isn't correct. My Sire Denathrius is an 11/11 with just 1 battlecry effect from Lor'themar
I do like the idea of Ensmallen, having mana cheating with a downside. Definitely seems fair, hoping this sentiment is carried with more cards in the future.
Specially for this card, it won't really matter for combo centric decks (especially OTK combos) but the downside helps balance the card out so it's not an auto-include in every Druid archetype for the next 2 years
This game has the perfect balance of in depth complexity yet simple UI interfaces that are easy to understand. I always tell people if you find Diablo 4 too simple and Path of Exile too complex, then Last Epoch is the perfect middle man.

Edit Also question: Would the effect from Raza the Resealed be retained if you play Reno, Lone Ranger afterwards?

Well the signature card has also been revealed and those are quite hard to create fake leaks for so I'd say these cards are legit. Will wait and see 🥷
10/10 ⭐'s for CCG, I mean Ci'Cigi
Damn Blizzard is hitting all the right spots this expansion

Why so shocked? Zeddy is carrying the HS community these days

Also a brilliant callback to Embiggen
There can be so many jokes made about Quality Assurance. Are you sure this card exists? Coz it seems this department doesn't in Team 5 😅

Geoff made a tweet about it too: https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1762496577132974223
The Napalm scent is hilarious though. Imagine a SWAT team storming your house coz a neighbor complains they can smell dangerous chemicals 🤣
I'm not sure why but I'm so full of nostalgia. Weird how some of these cards are bringing back so many memories...
I do wonder if we'll see some cards inspired by past mechanics. Maybe that's a bit overkill
These echoes of the past do invoke some dormant emotions
