Yet another charge minion, and back to back from the miniset? Looks like there's a dev in there who really really likes this mechanic. At least its only for warrior.

[card]Captain galvangar[/card] will be a challenging prospect, because 15 armor by turn 6 isn't easy to do for most tempo decks, which is probably where this card slots in …

Simple design, no different from the many burgle cards rogue tends to have.

Unfortunately, probably will never see play unless [card]lorekeeper pokelt[/card] is literally everywhere. It gets worse as the game progresses because minions would get bigger and you'd need to clear with face just so you can have a peek at what your opponent is going to get, …

Well, its certainly good.

The only problem here would be the battlecry. It'll only ever be good if enough deathrattles died this game, which means you can't just slot this into every priest deck and hope for the best, you'd need to invest in a gameplan, whether its [card]lightshower elemental[/card]s or [card]leper gnome[/card]s. This makes the card more reliant …

The premise for this card is surely to replicate the success seen by [card]phase stalker[/card], but without the ability to hit face, its unlikely to find a home into most hunter decks unless hunter gets a really aggressive secret somewhere down the line.

Its fine on its own, but I think [card]dun baldar bunker[/card] is a better card, and …

Probably not that great unless there's at least 2 more unrevealed cards that feature freeze and can freeze face. Fact is that if [card]glacial shard[/card] and [card]frost shock[/card] is in standard then this card may be core. But as it stands, its kinda bad. Freeze effects are by default a stall option, and being able to deal additional damage may …

Its scary if you have a bunch of freeze minions on board like the tokens from [card]bearon gla'shear[/card], but otherwise its a fairly dead card in hand. All this leads me to believe that there is at least one more frost spell that freezes left unrevealed, and its likely that that card might be able to target face. Without such …

Nearly forgot that this card actually existed. Which is amazing considering that its likely one of the best 2 tempo 2 drop available, with only small downsides based on rng.

Kinda shows how far we've gone from regular curvestone.

On the standpoint of power, this is near the pinaccle

But in terms of practical use in standard/wild. Probably not that great. Or rather to say that its good, but don't expect this to be a meta breaker.

Still, its 4 mana [card]mind control[/card]. Do we need subtitles here? Against certain decks, this card can single handedly win …

I swear Ive seen this in like a few community creations already.

But the card is obviously good. Its effectively a 4 mana [card]mind control[/card], and [card]raise dead[/card] being so handy you'll be seeing this minion very often assuming that priest makes a comeback.

It does has its problems. For one thing, while priest has plenty of silence …

There's no official explanation about this. But from my experience, and from discussions the gist is that each pack slot has a chance to roll a merc, coin, or portrait. One slot will have higher chance to roll mercs more often.

If you have all the mercs of a given rarity, it'll roll either a portrait or coins. So …

Its another one of those cards thats specifically designed for fun, which means any rating or review is fairly pointless. I will say though, that if [card]deck of lunacy[/card] can be one of the scariest card in its lifetime, then this can as well.

But that's the issue isn't it. If it does get viable, it'll be immediately nerfed, …

Well, there's not really much of a card here to review, because its likely only ever played for memes.

I wonder whether this will yet again repeat the same problems [card]deck of lunacy[/card] brought up next year when the cards are yet again thinned down after the set rotation. The key here is that the minions are from other …

Quote From Brandon

I'm weirdly really looking forward to seeing how Cariel will react to Tamsin being Ressed as a lich by Lady Prestor.

Is this a confirmed thing, that tamsin was raised back as a lich by lady prestor? We know shes a lich now, but not who raised her

Its probably not good in ranked. 3 attack is fine, but past turn 6 most things can survive it and priest isn't really lacking in clear options right now. Even something like [card]hysteria[/card] will easily do better than this card, and if board swings are needed then [card]xyrella[/card] is a more consistent option.

The one niche it has is …

It really depends on the meta, and what shaman's win condition is. The main thing about this card is flexibility, not necessarily as a win condition itself. I see it as an inclusion merely because one to one, there really isn't anything else in shaman that can do as much as this can. If you're near your win con, just …

Statline isn't good for a 6 drop, but 7 health is still significant. But the main problem to this card is whether priest even needs this as a board clear option when there are clear alternatives like [card]xyrella[/card], [card]hysteria[/card], [card]condemn (rank 1)[/card] to name a few.

You can buff this to make up your very own [card]anomalus[/card] that only …

Quote From Geno9999

...This tracks while it's still in your deck right?

...

...

...In the dungeon I go deeper...

Yes it does. Unless the description reads 'while in your hand' its going to track even if you discover this card out of thin air

Its a giant that can be reduced to 0 fairly quickly with stuff like [card]expendable performers[/card].

Not quite [card]corridor creeper[/card], but very close to it, and in my opinion just about as broken. We'll have to see how consistent this can be dropped down, because its not altogether impossible to have this by turn 5, or completely reduced to …

Just insane with [card]expendable performers[/card]. Looks like team5 is pushing token dhunter quite hard this time round. Let's hope for a few early game token generation to really take advantage of all the cards we've seen so far.

Looking at what we have right now, its not altogether impossible to have this reduced to 5 by turn 5 in …

The only downside is that you dont get to choose your hp each turn. Otherwise its nearly faultless. At least whatever you get will always be value for 2 mana.

WIll be in every shaman deck until rotation, because this can clear, heal and crucially, hit face for 6.

Imagine this with [card]brilliant macaw[/card]. Yikes.
