At some point this will be a nice little centerpiece for a combo deck. But for now, I don't see it.

The major problem here is that you'll need to hold on to this card (which means drawing it), then play something costing more, which in most cases would be [card]twisting nether[/card]. Sure, you can also play common stuff …

Its almost certainly trash.

The only niche it will ever have is that by some chance you get it off [card]wandmaker[/card], or some other generator, and coincidentally also plays an evolve deck, and your opponent is also coincidentally playing on curve buffed up murlocs.

Honestly, all it does was to change your opponent's board, it would've been perfect. …

If it weren't for [card]doomhammer[/card], [card]boggspine knuckles[/card] and [card]the fist of ra-den[/card], I'd rate this as trash. Unfortunately, since all three don't synergizes well with Inara, I'd have to wonder how any of these cards were when they were first being designed.

The potential of this card is obviously tied to the weapons shaman has available. With the knuckles …

A good card for shaman. Probably the only good one along with [card]dunk tank[/card]. A no nonsense card that does the job where it is needed.

What exactly is that 4 mana card that we're looking at corrupting this card with? At present, I just can't see it.

Most aggro decks in shaman would play bloodlust as the most expensive card. Goes without saying that if this card is only corrupted by that, then its complete trash.

So for now, I'm not optimistic. Even …

3/2 weapon for 3. Yes, its respectable. But is it ever going to light the world on fire? Emphatically no.

At its very best, it will buff one minion. Likely a 1 drop or a totem you played on 2. But most likely it will simply just do nothing more than deal 3 damage.

How wonderful this would've …

If you're wondering if weapon shaman can ever get up there. I can tell you it will not be because of this card.

The main problem with this card is that there really isn't any good weapons in shaman that gels with this card. As a finisher, [card]doomhammer[/card] does the job. So Inara is but a backup then, in …

Oh yes, this will surely salivate the tongues of stealth rogue players.

But unfortunately, since this one also shares the same weakness as most of their minions, being only having so little health, its likely just going to get swept no matter when its played.

But still, that's 5 damage if untouched. Scary enough to make the cut …

Combos well with [card]foxy fraud[/card], and the two likely make for a very strong aggro/tempo play.

On its own, its still draw, so you're not mandatorily required to play either dirty secrets or stealth minions anymore. And that alone makes this fill up a decent enough niche.

It also draws your shuffled cards too, so there's that, a …

The shenanigans of this card is amazing. Its basically 0 mana most of the time, since playing combo pieces like [card]evil miscreant[/card] or edwin is pretty common early game. So here's something that activates your combo, puts up a decent body, and even on its own with [card]eviscerate[/card], just swings board on 2.

What else is there to want …

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Rogue Minion - Foxy Fraud

Its a combo card for rogue. But will you drop this into anything else. No.

Well, if anything, I can go back to wasting my stars on making malyrogue work again. So I guess that's something.

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Rogue Spell - Cloak of Shadows

Zetalot loves this card. So I suppose its just 5/5 stars.

Draws card, discount it by 2, and since priest has no obligations to play minions on curve, you'll end up with a discounted minion, which can often wreak havoc to your opponent's state of board and mind.

Yes, I can see why this is broken.

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Priest Spell - Insight

Its not really comparable to [card]injured blademaster[/card]. If you're playing this card in your deck, then its likely some form of tempo priest, which means the follow up on 4 is likely [card]psychopomp[/card]. Bringing this back on its base form isn't really a good result compared to injured blademaster.

There's also another problem which is what card will be …

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Priest Minion - Fairground Fool

I'm almost certain this will see play. Discover spell effects in priest is extremely powerful and the discounts will be felt, especially since priest generates spells at such an extreme extent.

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Priest Spell - Palm Reading

Just not sure about this one. Priest doesn't just dump their spells, since its usually situational. And the card discount can't be precisely down to the cards you want.

But as a 3 mana 2/5, at least there's a chance it will survive a turn. So there's always a chance to snowball along with [card]sethekk vielweaver[/card]. That alone can …

There's already a good 5 mana card that almost always gets played on curve for priest, and that's [card]cobalt spellkin[/card]. So you play spellkin on 5, this on 6 along with the generated spells.

Good tempo, plus whatever else you play with the leftover 2 mana. Seems legit.

Even on its own, its still a 4 drop. And …

It looks okay. But in reality its too expensive. If it gets to 6 mana via [card]palm reading[/card] or [card]nazmani bloodweaver[/card], then its okay but not great. Otherwise, when is priest ever going to play this without also dying?

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Priest Spell - Idol of Y'Shaarj

Strong card. But will never see play outside of rez priest, and even that archetype may do without this.

Yes, the effect is strong. But its also a 9 cost card. Wouldn't you rather just play [card]mass resurrection[/card] instead? On the slight off chance this thing actually pulls out another taunt, then its mildly great. Otherwise, its most likely …

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Priest Minion - Blood of G'huun

Why is the blood god/loa part of the priest class will be forever a mystery.

But is this good? I don't really know. On one hand, if you're playing the current iteration of control priest, the health cost instead of mana is only mildly annoying since all their cards are usually cheap. On the other hand, if you're playing …

Had this been a 1/3 1 drop, it would've been insane since it curves into [card]tasty flyfish[/card], then into something like [card]bronze explorer[/card].

On its own, its a 2 mana murloc, and therefore will see play in any murloc deck. The tutoring effect can be treated as a bonus, since if murloc snowballs, you win, and if they don't …
