Smug in life, smug at death.

Pretty nice taunt for 6. But in hearthstone constructed you have to be more than just pretty nice to make the cut.

Unfortunately, this is just decent. Average. Nothing more nothing less.

I guess the idea is that this card can make up as a counter to mage and shaman. But its still a little too slow, and mage can even take advantage of this by filling your board and [card]frost nova[/card] to deny you any plays and then play [card]sea giant[/card] while they're on it as well.

Aside from this, …

Basically its [card]small-time buccaneer[/card] all over again. But this has the problem only really being possible inclusions into aggro shaman and tempo mage.

So perhaps that's good enough to make those decks work, and to make this card utterly hellish.

Has rush, and for 8 mana goes twice. Otherwise its a removal for 4 mana. Not too bad.

But likely its either a murloc deck or bust. Just too expensive in most classes. Might make a slight niche inclusion into libram pally.

Or if [card]robes of protection[/card] proves too much, then this card is nearly just an auto …

yes, if you're worried you're winning a little too easily, just play this and simulate russian roulette, because why not.

Your opponent should likewise emote thanks as this eventually kills you not least because you lost the roulette, but proceeded to play a nasty 1/6 for 3.

You're supposed to instantly concede when your opponent plays this. 5 stars all round.

Jokes aside, this is decent in paladin for that elusive secret paladin deck. Reminds me of [card]dalaran crusader[/card], and maybe that 1 mana difference can really make it shine.

[card]Guardian animals[/card], certified great with this card.

Decent stats, cleave, and its a beast. Very good stuff.

But outside of given rush, this is just an arena card. And I wouldn't put this in my deck just to make guardian animals sometimes work. But the potential is there, and in hearthstone that's already above average for a card.

1/1 for 0.

A small niche in warlock with [card]demonfire[/card] maybe?

Otherwise, a poor inclusion. Can't even work with [card]magic carpet[/card], sadly.

Its a 3/6 for 4. Almost certainly going to survive on curve, and if spellbursted, it becomes a nasty taunt minion.

Paladin, priest and maybe warrior can make full use of it. Its a dragon too, so maybe in hunter? but dragon hunter doesn't always have the means to trigger the spellburst.

Very strong and sticky. Too bad its slow as hell.

Unless cheated out, this is useless.

I assume that it has 'elusive' itself, or otherwise this is hot trash.

If your opponent can't clear your board the last turn, you make it even less likely they can do so this turn.

Basically turns rogue, warrior, and priest into a shishkebab of having cards that cannot be played. I can see this eventually being nerfed …

Slower than [card]vulpera scoundrel[/card]. Yes that's it. Just play [card]vulpera scoundrel[/card]

What else it there is to say? It discovers a spell, which is good. But at 5 mana, which means you're taking a major risk here.

Unless casino dhunters are here, not likely to ever see play outside of being discovered itself.

Oh poor [card]jeeves[/card], got outclassed at last.

face hunter, tempo dhunter fodder.

Nothing else I can think of. Its still a tempo loss at the end. And jeeves was in a meta much less threatening that the ones we're seeing nowadays where aggro can kill you within 5 turns.

Its a card that allows you to hero power for nothing, trumping its cousin [card]water boy[/card] by miles.

But in what deck would a hero power for nothing be useful? Maybe in hunter, with [card]phase stalker[/card] being so handy. Maybe in zoo, where being able to get 1 more card without losing tempo is actually not too bad.

I love the card, the theme, but I still think its too niche. Maybe face hunter or beast hunter can use this, but drawing a card for 4 mana isn't really what I call efficient.

Had this been a straight up inspire card then yes, its just strong enough to be a good niche. But its effect only works …

Lol. Its a high powered card that will only realistically be seen in shaman and mage.

Is it strong? Yes, but then again, if there's spell damage on board wouldn't you rather, you know, cast spells?

So its a small niche for tempo mage, but potentially very strong. I personally dont think it'll ever see play, since its …

Its not really that bad. But is there any reason why you'd play this instead of shaggy?

Maybe to chance a good taunt from another class? Too risky. And this has the problem of being a 2 mana do nothing as well.

Discover a minion to go to town with. Why not?

I already have problems including [card]Kargath bladefist[/card] into my decks because of fking priest, so this one's a nice little inclusion that allows me the chance to do so while also denying priest a win condition.

Besides which, a rush minion will almost always be useful to warrior, …

Is the effect strong? Yes. Will it see inclusion? No.

Messes with your [card]corsair cache[/card] is bad enough, it needs to be triggered to be good, will only work once, and there's already a huge amount of weapons that are currently filling up warrior's hands. Will this ever replace cards like [card]ancharrr[/card], [card]livewire lance[/card], or even [card]wrenchcalibur[/card]? Not likely. …

As mentioned above (i havent watch the video myself) kripp thinks its good because it bypasses the [card]lord jaraxxus[/card] tempo issue. That's fair. But then again, it doesn't change the fact that you'd maybe just die after playing jaraxxus anyway.

Discovering demons is always tricky, especially since the truly good demons are all dhunter cards. I personally think this …
