Quite a lot of health for a 3 mana murloc which is what you'd want seeing as this guy adds a Piranha Swarmer to hand each turn. Is that good though? Probably not as the Piranhas are certainly not as good as lackeys. Might see play in a murloc shaman deck, if it turns out to be playable.
Wow that's a lot of stats just for having a weapon equipped. Might see play in control warrior? Tough to say, will have to wait and see what weapon options are available in the core set and we might get another one in this expansion.
It's decent stats and could see play in certain archetypes like Quest Warrior or an Aggro Beast Druid. Then again, why not just include the minion type you want? I see this guy as maybe a "budget" replacement option if you're missing a certain minion from your collection.
Yea nope, not including this card in standard. Arena is her place to shine
Flavor text is neat though: With the jungles of Un’goro mapped out and the ruins of Uldum fully uncovered, explorers have to go a little out of their depth in their search of the great unknown.
Definitely an arena card which is sad coz a card like this would've seen play in constructed a few years ago, guess times have changed, quite drastically at that.
I don't think anyone will be including the actual Piranha Swarmer in their decks. More like generating them off Schooling and Piranha Poacher. It's a decent rush minion that synergizes with itself, so it's not terrible, just not that great either
Well I really like that flavor for a Hydra beast, 3 heads, 3 attacks, much flavor. Definitely optimistic about this card seeing as it can go face and with Conditioning (Rank 2), that means a Pyroblast to face and removing 2 other minions.
The question though is: Will Trenchstalker survive all that damage taken? Or is it just an expensive semi boar clear?
Seems like a good compromise, but I question myself: how many times have you found yourself playing Deathwing, Mad Aspect when you had other friendly minions in play?
OTK enabler for shaman which is pretty scary provided they get better token swarming spells aside from Schooling. You could get away with playing this spell on a few big minions too and just hope your opponent can't remove them. Pretty sure this spell will only really work on the turn it's played, coz I'm fairly certain your opponent will try remove as many minions as possible once they see a board full on spell damage minions.
Unfortunately stuck on normal, as embarrassing as it is...but bare in mind I don't spend gold on merc packs, so really struggling to get coins to level up abilities to tier 4 and 5
Also don't spend real money on bundles, coz everyone knows it's a predatory mode... even though that black dragonflight bundle is taunting me every time I open the shop
Eh... the flavor is cute and the different art for the Piranha Swarmers also cute. Other than that, doubt this will see much play unless the Shaman Colossal legendary has synergy.
So at best this card will summon 3 3/3 elementals (chances of summoning 4 is super low). Not that great imo and with this being the first expansion for the new year, the card pool is the smallest it will be in Standard, so you will have a small selection of good spells from each spell school.
It'll probably be too inconsistent and not enough tempo to see play.
I'm still stuck on BRM bounties 😓 so highly doubt I'll be able to get to Onxyia's Lair anytime soon. Guess this is another merc event I'll have to skip... oh well
Wow, even with the bad stat body, this card will be the draw engine for Priest. It can also be your only naga if you're playing a miracle type deck, but would pair well with Priestess Valishj
The shenanigans that will happen in wild... best not to dwell on them, might give you nightmares.
As for standard, I don't see any minions really that would want their stats swapped, but I'm sure someone will figure out a broken combo
Not sold on this pirate, purely coz we don't have a pirate archetype for rogue, just imagine if this minion was printed for warrior 😓
Small ping damage with new mechanic keyword will definitely see play. Probably one of the better dredge cards

Well this guy can tutor some scary naga like Raj Naz'jan and Priestess Valishj. So will definitely see play in some combo decks

Thanks for the advice for the merc comp and I had no idea tasks 16-18 reward 3 packs 😱just goes to show I don't play that much at all

Well, for me personally... as soon as I can play Deathwing, Mad Aspect I play Deathwing, Mad Aspect 😅RIP my board state.
This guy on the other hand only targets enemies so there's no real drawback, other than playing a 9 mana minion

I feel this card could slot into a fatigue/control warrior, only playing it once you're low or outof.cards 😜
1 copy should be enough, coz it'll be a dead card in hand till you get to fatigue
Ok scratch that, grossly misread this card, so have a feeling it'll do nothing if you're out of cards
