Aggressively stated, gives out a chunky reward, but the conditions a bit too steep. Can dhunters simply put this in their deck and play this on curve? No, since [card]manafeeder panthara[/card] is far superior by comparison. Is it a good late game card? Not really, given how weak the stats are, and how it could potentially force you to play …

A little skeptical about this card. On paper it looks amazing, given how aggressive dhunters are, but it costs 3, then forces you to play that drawn card to get value out of this, which means theoretically the best time to play this safely is 8 mana. Also, the card is horribly stated, taken down by just about anything, with …

Its decently stated, which is a nice start. The 3/3s themselves are perhaps a little weak, but at least they can up the pressure when they do eventually come out, since rogue isn't exactly short on card draw.

Looks likes a somewhat weaker [card]fal'dorei strider[/card]. And since that saw plenty of play, wouldn't be surprised to see this one to be played competitively as well.

I have to say though, that 3/3s aren't really that scary, but the [card]ticket master[/card] himself is decently stated. I guess free 3/3s are better than nothing, and puts the pressure on …

if you're referring to [card]argent braggart[/card], that does see play in standard and is infinitely more powerful than this card.

Its just arena filler. The effect is interesting since the buff is permanent and cant be silence. But at the end its still requires you to first draw the card, and then to proct it you need cards that cost more than 3 mana. Realistically you can get this to a respectible 5/5 easily by around turn 7. But at …

Unless its explicit, corruption on happens while the card is in hand.

Funny little card. Too bad its almost never going to be played in standard.

The fact that yshaarj can probably give you an endless stream of this card is icing on the whatever cake this card will likely be.

Edit: Forgot that yshaarj will only give you what you played. So no. You won't get to see this …

Or you can just target your own minions for the felscream damage.

Dhunters work around everything, from taunts to big minions. From keywords to board swarms. And now, they can deal damage using lifesteal effects as well.

Not going to completely write it off but you gotta admit it looks tough for this card to justify itself. Its only true calling is actually to give you the mana lead and to mana burn your opponent by 1 next turn. But coming from a mere 3/3 body, and the fact that it also slows you down somewhat means …

Its just one of those hunter cards that has tremendous potential but falls flat because hunters cant draw for shit in standard, and have virtually no defensive options outside of [card]freezing trap[/card]. So its likely to end up like [card]hunting party[/card] or [card]scarlett webweaver[/card]; tons of potential, but otherwise impractical.

Still, I love me some handbuffs, so here's likely …

Curves out well into two 3/3s on 3, assuming that your opponent don't proct your secrets. Very likely one of the better hunter cards, but will end up mostly in face hunter decks. If there's more card draw incoming then we might actually see a resurgence of secret hunter.

[card]Petting zoo[/card] is rightfully just [card]emerald spellstone[/card] but requires secrets to be active rather than played, making the condition infinitely harder. Notably it will summon a 3/3 no matter what so the spell isn't exactly trash if your opponent maneuvers all the secrets. Its a very strong card that in most cases will summon at least two 3/3s when played, …

Just a tech card, taking up an epic slot no less. The fact that its not a 3/4 spidertank at very least means team5 actually legitimately thinks that slowing down the curveline by 1 is actually, in the long run, such a huge benefit to the player that the usual generic statline cannot be applied.

In a way, it …

Its just cute little card, both in design and effect. Secrets in mage are hardly anything to snuff at, and being able to do it twice for 4 mana is just insane.

Highlander will want it. Not so sure about tempo mage though.

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Mage Spell - Ring Toss

Discovering secrets in mage is already powerful enough, and now there's an option to do it twice for 4 mana. Its just insane value, not to mention the amount of headaches it will cause.

Will it make it into competitive though? Maybe if highlander mage comes back. Otherwise there would need to be a whole new archetype for mage, …

What else is there to say? With [card]aldrachi warblades[/card] you're effectively dealing double damage.

Even something as easily dismissed as [card]felscream blast[/card] is suddenly a major threat. With [card]mo'arg artificer[/card], there's no end of face damage you can do with just this card existing. In fact, why this card is printed is beyond me, since it effectively restricts design …

Just a decent weapon that puts up tempo and gets the job done. An honest, dependable, hardworking card. He's not the guy on the center stage, or that guy that scores all the goals in football, but he can and will be respected from all sides wherever he goes.

Its just a laughable card in standard. Taking up space. The only way it could ever redeem itself is the reveal of some massive support (I'm talking like [card]sorcerer's apprentice[/card] level of card cycling) in which case it would easily win the 'massively underrated [card]lady liadrin[/card] reveal' prize of this expansion. Even then, the effect only deals damage to minions.

5 years, 4 months ago · on New Rogue Minion - Prize Plunderer

I first I thought it can go face, then turns out that it can't. 1 star.

Its just fodder. Unless we see something like [card]sorcerer's apprentice[/card] for rogue, there's no way this can pull shoes big enough to justify its inclusion. Especially when one considers that [card]coerce[/card] is but a mere 3 mana without all this bs need to …
