Its support for controlock, which means at some point [card]tickatus[/card] will come back with a vengeance.

Too bad, that despite its obvious power, the real deal of this card is that it draws 3 cards on 6 while dealing 3 damage to everything. Because as an ender, its infinitely worse than [card]the demon seed[/card], which not only offsets fatigue, …

Its just overpowered. Being able to stall is one thing, killing at least one minion is quite another.

It looks like a control card, but in all honesty, I'll be swinging my [card]doomhammer[/card] shaman on day one because this is just nuts in that deck. I wouldn't be surprised if at one point this card gets nerfed or forces …

The only good thing this card offers is that it essentially board swings in 99% of all games.

But at 7 mana, and the hp being what it is, you're really just banking on the board swing to do the job for you, which it might. The hp allows you to do more shenanigans with ending games, like using …

Want it to be good, to be meta, but likely it'll never be.

[card]Pyros[/card] was introduced in a much weaker and slower meta and that card never really saw play outside of reno mage. And this card practically apes it at a time where mage really dont play or need minions at all to succeed.

But for what …

Its just a good minion, but therein lies the problem: its a druid card, and its a beast.

So you can't play [card]guardian animals[/card] with this card in because obviously you dont ever want to draw it out. And most druid decks tend to play broken stuff so its practically sharing the same problem with [card]druid of the plains[/card]: …

This one is a bit weird. Druid never had problems with slow cards, but this card is slow and at the same time is likely only ever considered in a deck that needs to tempo out, given that druid has nearly no removal options available.

It has a niche in that the cubs are stealthed, so you'll nearly always …

Im on the fence with this one. With intelligent deck building this card just tutors out exactly what you need so its hard to ignore the obvious potential.

But most important druid cards are often around the cost of 3-4, or 7-8, and certainly you can't play them without at least considering space for [card]survival of the fittest[/card], which …

Keyword here is summoned, which means it works with [card]glowfly swarm[/card], [card]adorable infestation[/card], and [card]thorngrowth sentries[/card], all of which are featured cards in token druid.

Its decently stated, have taunt, is a beast, and more importantly it supports an archetype that's not meta at the moment. I would say that its a card for a healthy deck, unlike the …

Its obvious support for big dhunter, but as long as illidari inquisitor is still here, its basically always going to be good.

Outside of the big deck, you can easily build a midrange demon deck with [card]illidari inquisitor[/card] and [card]bladed lady[/card], and this card will still be a strong addition to the deck. Basically speaking, being able to essentially …

Better to hold onto packs. The diminishing returns of pack quality and the fact that merc tasks are finite means at some point coins for new mercs would have to come directly from beating the bosses directly. At 10-20 coins per try, it'll take a hell lot of time to even grind one merc up.

Its highest and lowest cost card not minion. Not easy to make either both cheapest or most expensive without significant drawbacks

Its 2 mana to do more damage on board. But its unmistakably support for token dhunter. Play this and at any point of time your tokens will do a good deal of damage, so what's there not to like? Even a +1 attack shouldn't be snuffed at, that's basically what [card]voidtouched attendant[/card] was doing before shadow priest got nerfed.

…

Well, they definitely subverted my expectations that's for sure.

Im not claiming the tamsin-cariel storyline as basically the hearthstone equivalent of schindler's list. But for what's it worth, the progression was good. She had a background, was raised back as an undead after dying to the scourge, resentful of her condition and plotted to destroy stormwind, personally reduced her …

I thought for once team5 grew a massive set of balls and actually pulled an unexpected good storyline in the middle of the three expansion, and have it actually mean something. But as it happens, my expectations were too high. 

I would be interested to see how they tie it to the storyline and what will tamsin be doing …

Both [card]dire frostwolf[/card] and [card]frostsaber matriarch[/card] are minions. And [card]frostwolf kennels[/card] will summon a 2/2 at the end of the turn after you play it. So don't know what you mean by immediate effects.

Its interesting that they are essentially giving you prep as a hero power that works with all cards. Its a little weak in comparison with the other hero cards so far, but can definitely be better with the release of more cards and combos in rogue.

I can see this in garrote rogue, assuming that deck even survives in …

In case anyone is wondering what Tamsin's rift does, it summons a 3/3 imp.

I like [card]dreadlich tamsin[/card] as a card, but if you're committing to play it you'll likely have to drop the discard package like [card]blood shard bristleback[/card], which shouldn't be too much problems, because tamsin can win games on her own. The problem is that she'll …

I like the idea of a beast druid. But admitably these dont look very good. Out of all [card]frostsaber matriarch[/card] is the only one with the best chance to see play and that's only because it can get to 0. But [card]umbral owl[/card] is still likely the better choice between the two.

But, if you want to play beast …

There's plenty of demons you'll want. [card]taintheart tormenter[/card], [card]illidari inquisitor[/card], [card]ancient void hound[/card], [card]priestess of fury[/card], and of course, [card]pit commander[/card]. Its basically a very flexible card that will go anywhere you can fit at least illidari inquisitor, because getting that out, even as a 6/6 is just nuts.

Im actually thinking of slotting this into deathrattle dhunter just …

Too bad its a warlock card eh ;)
