Its a good card in rogue and priest. Because both can easily turn this into a 0 mana cost spell that gives out 2 health, a not insignificant amount.

If that inner fire priest is coming back, then this card will no doubt be a good tech choice depending on the meta.

Its one of the strongest anti aggro cards you can have early on the game.

Just imagine the bs openings from token druid and this one card basically equalizes tempo to a degree.

If it does have a problem, its opportunity costs. And the fact that if its ever good enough, most aggro players will probably just deal …

Its not that bad honestly. Basically this is a free 3/3, realistically maybe around turn 3. Coin on turn 2 into double 1 drops and you've flooded the board.

If its ever meta it'll no doubt inflame lots of players and trigger yet more questions on whether the coin should be considered a played card.

Its fine honestly. But probably only playable if you intend to build around this and [card]to the front![/card], because most taunts will cost at least 2.

Unless of course theres a card that spits out 1 mana taunts in hand. But that card is yet to exist far as I know.

Its not the effect that's weak, its just really inconsistent. If you need a weapon tutor, just play [card]corsair cache[/card].

Because if this card isn't tutoring you a weapon, then its shit. Its only ever going to be significant out of a discover effect, because if it ever becomes meta everyone will just play around this one's honor kill …

Pretty much meh. Best thing about this is probably frenzy triggering or [card]armorsmith[/card].

Somehow I feel that team5 is going to build around this in later expansions. Because for now its practically useless except as a clear option your opponent can see a mile away. It is 2 mana, and 2 mana for a whirlwind effect every turn for …

Pretty sure at some point some genius will do something with this card that'll complete break standard but for the time being I'm not seeing it. Best I can think off is something to do with [card]playmaker[/card], [card]glory chaser[/card], or [card]faceless manipulator[/card].

Its cheap removal, and dealing 5 AoE is as good as it can get.

The problem is the cost, which fluctuates between good and mediocre. Realistically the average cost you'll likely be paying for this, against a deck where clear matters like aggro decks, is 5 - [card]Heavy plate[/card] + hp

But you can throw in [card]frozen buckler[/card] …

Purposefully printed as a non-demon so you cant just spam board with this and [card]felosophy[/card].

Too few good fel spells, so this one sits on the sidelines for now. Oh well.

Maybe [card]seeds of destruction[/card] can bring it to the stage, but I doubt it.

Clearly this was the pay off cards for all the subpar fel spells that were introduced this expansion. [card]Full-blown evil[/card] for example is an excellent cast from this card, which not only sets up a taunt but somewhat deals with the board as well.

Unfortunately, a few poor pieces here and there cannot be redeemed by a decent card …

Its good. Just play, draw and pray.

Highrolls aside, even getting one of those triggering and this pays for itself. If its a tad slow, its still turn 2. Not the end of the world.

Its an egg cracker or token turner. It does curve out from [card]nerubian egg[/card], so there's no doubt in my mind that its designed as a deathrattle trigger.

And for consistency, [card]sacrificial summoner[/card] can crack eggs too. I think we're really on the way to seeing egglock take center stage.

 

Probably too expensive to ever do enough. Its practically [card]dark skies[/card] because warlock rarely plays on board and require a board clear at the same time, and this is just so much weaker.

The echo effect is nice, but probably still not good enough. My guess is that its trying to combo along with [card]felwalker[/card], which does make this …

1 mana draw and stall. Why not?

It'll likely come out more often out of [card]sleetbreaker[/card], but the card itself is good. Its basically cycling for 1. If [card]far sight[/card] can see play, why wouldn't this one?

4 years, 3 months ago · on New Shaman Spell - Windchill

2 mana deal 3 damage is pretty much standard nowadays. But the honor kill triggering is devastating. It'll probably trigger more often from your own minions but against spell heavy decks its likely going to force a skip, or at very least a much less powerful turn.

Good solid card that'll prop out every now and then because spell …

4 years, 3 months ago · on New Shaman Spell - Frostbite

I dont like freeze effects, but this one is pretty good. In fact, in the right meta its downright disgusting.

Being able to stall is one thing, but getting a massive minion to boot? That's just a board swing right then and there. Its a meta choice, but if it gets dropped it'll not be because it lacks in …

Elemental, gives out a spell that freezes, spell that draws for 1, and is decently stated for its cost. Like really, there's no doubt in my mind that this card will see play for a long time.

Its only downfall is that it has 2 health and there's so many honor kill cards that triggers off 2 health. But …

4 years, 3 months ago · on New Shaman Minion - Sleetbreaker

Its good that this summons a 3/4. Any less and it'll be trash. The fact is that you're getting a slightly smaller [card]water elemental[/card] for the same price, and this will continue for two more turns while your opponent constantly needs to find answers or they just get blocked out.

It is a bit slow, but its not bad. …

Are you saying this is just going to copy a bunch of secrets? :)

Uther's Christmas secretree | Hearthstone | Know Your Meme

Yeah. Just grab secrets from hanar and before you know it you have a 5 mana card that basically invalidates your opponent's entire turn.

The only time this card is even remotely significant is when you get a taunt minion up because this thing isn't moving for 2 turns.

Don't think we'll be seeing much of this card anytime soon. Its likely more significant as a filler for other classes to unfortunately get/discover.
