I want to like this. But I can't.

Too expensive for zoo, and can be silenced in a meta where Im sure [card]royal librarian[/card] will be everywhere. Wonder what it means when it reads 'at the end of the turn'? Is this false advertising ala [card]neeru fireblade[/card] again?

Another board clear? When [card]hysteria[/card] more or less does the job, why do you even need this card?

Its mostly just a [card]twisting nether[/card] on a stick. But it cant clear divine shielded minions, it can't clear [card]moonfang[/card], and it takes up 6 mana.

Probably not.

Does what the card says. Meh.

In a world where there's tradeable cards, the only reason you'd play this is to double your chance to draw the quite excellent [card]canal slogger[/card]. Otherwise, just swap this for a tradeable card, any tradeable card.

I dont need to review this. It speaks for itself.

If you dont think this will be in every shaman deck until the next expansion, I'd be worried about you more than anything else.

Too slow, and too cumbersome. There no chance you're saving up overload cards just so this card can shine, and even if you manage it its only spawning 2/3s.

The only god play this card has is a turn 4 [card]lightning bloom[/card] into two more overload cards. Even still the tokens have a mere 2 attack which means it …

Too much competition is why this card will never see play. At the moment, its literally only [card]whack-a-gnoll hammer[/card] and [card]doomhammer[/card]. Anything not named those two things just never get included.

Maybe it sees something in control shaman with bolner + ysharaaj end game. Then this card has some reason to exist because it literally allows you to finish …

Watched Kibler's stream and every time I see this its insane. The real power of this card is that its discover, not just randomly selecting a minion, which means its nearly always good for the situation.

Plus, if you're running a heavy overload deck, is there any reason not to play this?

Probably not good. Any dedicated elemental deck would be a midrange deck which means this card have to intrinsically let you play big elementals early and at the moment there's simply no really good ones.

Unless you can literally build an entire deck that plays nothing but elementals, complete with an end game like kalimos there's just no reason …

The spy gizmos are incredible, which means its worth your while to build around this quest.

But it really does suffer from a few issues. Firstly, rogues cant heal, so if this doesn't win them the game it's basically asking for you to die. Second, the SI cards are decent at best, and none of them have taunt. Is …

Its SI fodder. Not good, but not bad neither.

The stealth is useful for something like [card]cold blood[/card], or triggering [card]greyheart sage[/card]. Rogue can do better in the 3 mana range, but if youre pushing for quest this one is handily what you may need.

4 years, 7 months ago · on New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Operative

Its just unfortunately trash, unless rogue has some combo in the works this is just never worth it.

First you give your opponent a coin, then he silences/transform this minion and suddenly your behind. Sketchy information gives you two coins straight in exchange for playing a 3 mana nothing, and since rogues cant heal you'd lose tempo and will …

4 years, 7 months ago · on New Rogue Minion - Loan Shark

Its not good. Not because the minion is trash, but because rogue literally never needs something like this. 2 cards are required before this becomes even remotely decent, but even as a 4 mana 5/5, what reason is there for rogue to ever need to play something like this?

Not to mention that this card makes kazakus unplayable, and …

4 years, 7 months ago · on New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Informant

Its just a good card to be honest, tradeable or no. In fact there's no real reason for rogue to ever trade this out, its simply cheap efficient removal. [card]Brain freeze[/card] does better by being able to freeze but this card requires no combo conditions, which is partially why its only real home is an SI deck.

4 years, 7 months ago · on New Rogue Spell - SI:7 Extortion

Its mostly going to cost around 4 by the time you reach turn 5, so its literally just a cheaper [card]vilespine slayer[/card], but it can only fit an SI deck realistically.

Honestly, its practically the only thing rogue has against paladin right now, outside of a gamble with the SI devices from the quest. It gets high praise from …

4 years, 7 months ago · on New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Assassin

It wouldn't be long before everyone figures out how to play around the possible rogue strats with this card. Its primary function now would be to fake out your opponent into making a wrong mulligan choice. But honestly, rogue can rarely ever take advantage of it. Unless its literally big minion meta, there's just no way people don't just mull …

This is straight up insane. I don't know what possessed team5 to think that this is okay as a 1 mana card because its yet another option from [card]wandmaker[/card] thats literally going to drawing a card for 1 mana or ruin your opponent's day and board.

Just when you think deathrattles are going to wreck priest here comes the …

It'll be drawing one most of the time its out. Too bad its never a curve minion along with the value, unless you manage to stick a 1 drop.

All in all, its just doing what priest needed to do. There's no chance this doesn't see play.

It does face damage. And its a shadow spell. Yes, that pretty much wraps up a review.

4 years, 7 months ago · on New Priest Spell - Void Shard

It stops at 11am gmt+8 if Im not mistaken.

Either that or twitch froze, or did something you weren't aware of. Its a rather long stream so checking once a while might be a better plan than turn on and forget.

I don't really know how to evaluate this. You're never playing this on curve, and certainly no aggro deck would need this because a minion on curve is better and priest still cant draw decently enough for this to be consistently good.

Does control priest need this? Maybe not. Most shadow spells aren't cheap except for [card]raise dead[/card], and …
