On paper this looks nuts. But the real question would be 1) is it better than [card]earthquake[/card] and 2) is it better than [card]walking fountain[/card].

On both counts my answer would be no. Even if it fully heals you back, its not likely to kill anything, so in reality you've just bought a [card]frost nova[/card] that only sometimes prevent …

Mercifully, this actually works with [card]arcane watcher[/card], or otherwise its no different from playing a minion with spell damage.

Combos very well with [card]ras frostwhisper[/card] without further need of other minions to add to the AoE. Also curves well into [card]molten blast[/card]. Just a solid synergy card, really. Its chief deficiency would be that 1 damage on turn 2, …

Spell damage shaman will certainly love this, but its basically then [card]imp-losion[/card] without [card]darkshire councilman[/card].

That it can hit face is perhaps its saving grace, or otherwise its just a weaker [card]lightning bolt[/card]. Since shaman also has access to [card]bloodlust[/card] and [card]storm's wrath[/card], getting the 1/1 minions may not all be useless.

Draws you cards and if you have a 5 damage weapon then this is free.

Yes, this is good. Yes this will go into all aggro rogue/warrior decks. But will it ever go anywhere else? That's another question. [card]Risky skipper[/card] combo is still here and not going anywhere, and rogue still has cards like [card]dirty tricks[/card] and [card]greyheart sage[/card] …

Its power is solely that it buffs your weapon while its out, so even if you get oozed, just weapon up and it still has the same value.

Its downside is obvious: it will never be alive past the same turn this is played, which will be 90-100% of the time. There's no scenario where your opponent would rather …

Not good enough. If the game is to generate combo cards then [card]whirlkick master[/card] is the name of the card.

What makes this even remotely playable is that it has stealth. So if you're running stealth rogue, you'd might consider this card, but 90% of the time you'd be playing the galakrond package, so no.

Maybe next year, …

its not really as bad as it looks. In many ways, if you need a card to support weapons rogue, then this card will easily be it.

With high durability, at 3 mana, and cards like [card]deadly poison[/card] and [card]vulpera toxinblade[/card], there's plenty of ways to make this a big weapon that will hit solidly for at least 2-3 …

This is perhaps the weirdest secret in hearthstone currently.

Its probably a discover spell rather than something you'd purposefully drop into your deck. The best classes that play more than 1 card per turn, of which rogue can find a use for, would be mage and ironically rogue itself.

Its weakness is that the cards you get doesn't …

Its more rogue than warrior.

Warrior already has [card]execute[/card] that comes 1 mana less, and warrior don't tend to have many cards in hand to make this a solid [card]assassinate[/card]. I will be surprised to see warrior play this card.

Rogue has access to zero mana spells like backstab, and does not already have a cheaper removal spell. …

its a decent card, but unfortunately there's problems everywhere with using it.

Priest spells don't generally damage minions, so you're counting on your board to weaken a big target so this card can do something. Half the time, you wont have such a board to do so, and the other half of the time you'd much rather have something …

Its not really that good. Sharing the same weakness as rez priest, and you deal 3 damage to yourself.

Its a rez priest card, but as was mentioned, it shares the same weakness as the deck, so its either win-more, or you get 2 sheeps or 2 frogs you will never play. Assuming you don't just die to aggro, …

This one card is amazing because it basically covers one massive hole in any priest deck, which is its persistent weakness to OTK combo.

For that reason, I hate that this card exist. Its bad enough to lose to rng, now you can't even cheese them off with combo. And brilliantly enough they can get it off [card]galakrond's wit[/card], …

That's one nice looking book cover.

Discover dragons is almost always good. Being able to discount them makes it even better. Just a solid card for priest, and I'm a little upset that this is the one card that it doesn't share with paladin.

Basically 2 mana +2+2 with divine shield...except the divine shield pops at the end of the turn

Strong card? well, [card]extra arms[/card] was good as a 2 mana card, but that was in combo priest. Now that priest can't draw for shit, I can't actually imagine this thing being played on curve, let alone with [card]frazzled freshman[/card]

In paladin there's plenty of reasons why you'd not be going face after playing a buff. And this one generates a massive minion that needs to be dealt with after, presumably it takes a value trade.

I'd rate this high, but I can't seem to get it out of my mind that [card]blessing of kings[/card] is just a better …

Too slow, but if you're playing a big deck, especially with warrior, then this is an auto include.

Consideration have to be given to the fact that it summons it out, so there's one less minion to use with [card]dimensional ripper[/card].

of course it is. I expect nothing less.

Thanks for the lore. Now tell me what do those few sober people see when you're taking this pet for a walk after a nice talk with a bottle of whiskey?

Its a discover card, and strictly for priest.

There's some shenanigans you can do with this card in priest, [card]shadow madness[/card], [card]cabal acolyte[/card], [card]cabal shadow priest[/card], etc.

Not something to be included into the deck, that's for sure.

Of all the artwork seen, this has got to be the most dull. Can't you make her look any less like someone being offered mineral water at a pool party? I shudder to think the reason why team5 went with this art instead of picking some other pose.

Aside from that, this card is just useless. Yes there's a …

Its [card]bloodsworn mercenary[/card] fodder. Otherwise its just competition to [card]rampage[/card], perhaps a better card.

Nearly useless in paladin, but can be useful in warrior since [card]inner rage[/card] is still 0 mana.
