Just terrible to be honest.

If you're behind, then 1 random 3 mana spell wont do anything, and if you're ahead then the spell can easily fix that for your opponent. Worst still you can't kill it by trading so your opponent will gayly leave it up with a smile. Looks more like a nerf to [card]faceless lackey[/card] if …

it draws cards, and that alone is good enough to merit inclusion. That it draws cards, and can draw you more than 2, along with spells like [card]primordial studies[/card], and [card]lab partner[/card] there's little reason to believe this cant draw you more than 2 cards for 2 most of the time, which is insane.

Aside from the obvious tempo …

Its [card]goblin blastmage[/card], which was one of the strongest cards back in the day.

Mage never lacks spells, but 3 mana is a lot to give up. In tempo mage, and little else. But it will still be the cherry on that cake.

Just not good enough. Summoning 2 [card]mana wyrm[/card]s is nice, but a little too late.

What makes this less useful is not that the card is necessarily bad, but that its a mage card. And even tempo mages would rather be playing 2 minions, or something with a spell on turn 5, or do something to get back tempo …

Good card that gives value. Except, hunters dont typically need value. If you're running a deathrattle deck, aggro deck, beast deck, whatever, then chances are good you'd have exactly the thing to play on curve and this card messes with it.

Will it make the cut? Likely, but only because the secondary effect of the card, which is to …

Its a solid card, that will see inclusion in most decks that runs beast, which is most hunter decks other than dragon.

So I guess [card]professor slate[/card] is really just too niche now, since this card is effectively the only spell that does damage this expansion.

Its a decent card for beast hunters. Easily paired with [card]overwhelm[/card] to basically destroy two minions, and for hunter that's a major plus. Even if there's no card to immediately proct the spellburst, its basically a soft taunt on turn 4, which is decent.

Yes rotnest drake is a better card. But that's a card in dragon decks. This …

its [card]devilsaur egg[/card], and I'm very happy. Been trying to make deathrattle hunter work in standard so this goes straight in it. Better than serpent egg for sure, since hunter doesn't have any way to pop the egg. This one doesn't need popping and that's a major plus in hunter.

With [card]carrion studies[/card], this can get out on 2, …

Maybe lore aficionados can clarify what exactly is this thing. Looks like cat-bird-deer thing that came straight from the last guardian.

Its powercreep on [card]alleycat[/card], and it sports a very powerful effect. Even if it doesnt, alleycat has seen play for ages, so there's no reason to expect this not to.

If you can buff this big enough …

If you have multiple spells and want to flood your board then this card will be good.

There's a small chance in token druid, but its otherwise just filler material. Had it been a 1/2 at least it would've been just great. Too bad.

Its actually not a bad card, practically made for token druid, which unlike the other archetypes, dont run too much card draw or ramp.

Will only gives you beast, means its consistent if nothing else.

[card]guardian animals[/card] fodder, little else.

What really made this card shit is not that its a bad card, but it features in a class that neither needs card draw or a stealth minion. Yes, this can be a good card with [card]embiggen[/card] and [card]survival of the fittest[/card], but in the former means you cant use this with guardian animals …

Love this card. Just a solid 5 drop with a decent deathrattle.

If it didn't have taunt this card would be unplayable, but it has, so it merits some thought. This alongside with [card]twilight runner[/card] (druid exclusive unfortunately) would be main reasons for playing [card]guardian animals[/card].

Am looking forward to playing deathrattle hunter and this card will certainly …

First of all, the art clearly shows that its either demon or beast. Unless its actually a were-demon, so we're expected to treat this as human. What balancing reasons there must be for this to be neither will be known only to team5.

What more can be said except this card is thoroughly shit. If it gains the stats …

There was a time where [card]grim necromancer[/card] was somewhat considered in standard and this one's very nearly 2 times as big.

Its a good card, but in a sea of other good cards I can't find a place for it in any deck. Maybe token dhunters? There's just better cards than this in most decks you'll find, and this …

Its actually quite useful a card, since it effectively tutors and activates an outcast card. Might find a place in control dhunters, perhaps with [card]glide[/card] or [card]skull of gul'dan[/card] as the only outcast card in the deck. Same application in a big dhunter deck.

One of the few good cards that can nearly never see play in tempo dhunters. …

The major problem here is that the tokens are only 1/2 bodies with taunt, meaning the are certainly value traded by just about any minion, easily swept by AoE, and can't hide behind a taunt. Its basically a useful anti aggro tool in most cases, and realistically will be 0 costed by turn 5 or so.

I dont think …

Stupidly enough, its the leokk lookalike that will likely be the best outcome of this card. Whether this sees any play will depend on whether both sides are going token. From the looks of the card set, it seems like theres more than a little support to push token dhunters this time round.

[card]Blazing battlemage[/card] is already one of …

Some cards here are absolutely crazy;

[card]wave of apathy[/card] - combos well with priest cards, its basically a freeze effect of a sorts.

[card]mindrender illucia[/card] - yes, if you're thinking of tearing the hairs off your head, this card would do it. There's just so many ways of fking with your opponent, but this one takes the cake. …

you're probably right. Its more of a mage card. But I wouldn't count this one out of shaman yet
