Poor man's Doomsayer. But there are also some strategic use to it. If your minions have divine shield or otherwise can survive this its just a cheap delayed AOE device that saves you 5 hp if it fails.
Given lifesteal, this more or less can put you back to 30. Or if given poison then its an actual doomsayer that can't kill divine shielded minions. Might have some potential for freeze mage to return to meta given that they now have more AOE to combo with freeze effects.
That it is 1 mana cheaper cannot be underestimated.
Very good card but most likely too slow for midrange decks unless played at 4, and assuming you've got good card draw. Have potential for combo decks, but overall its just another kaleseth card, with a similar OPness when played on curve.
Probably see more play in highlander decks with at least 8 dragons. Without good card draw this card is probably too slow to do anything.
This is pretty insane. 5 mana tutor 2 cards is pretty good. And since you will likely know what card you want this will just draw them. Easy way to get Shadow of Death out, and with the new transmogrifier card you can rid the hakkar bloods and bombs with this combo.
For versatility, and value, this card is just an auto include. Too bad rogue sucks at board clear though, so this may just be too slow to be used on 5.
Slots neatly into cyclone mage but the dragon requirement is a little iffy. The question is whether there is enough space to put in at least 6 dragons into a cyclone deck, or otherwise Magic Trick takes the spot instead.
Otherwise its still a decent card to include into midrange dragon mage or highlander mage. Very versatile card.
Comparable with Inkmaster Solia and this is easier to use and that card saw play. Certainly an inclusion into most decks except for cyclone, and even then this looks good enough for it.
Lets not forget that you can play the spell the same turn you play this, a better card than Naga Sand Witch and this saw play.
That this is a rare card only adds to how insane this card is.
And not to mention that your opponent can 'hatch' it for you, or steal it via mind control tech. Its only on the margins, but so much stats on one card cannot be easily ignored.
Its a dragon, and that's probably the most valuable thing on this stick.
Decent tech card against highlander decks, OTK paladin, and quest druid.
But its going to be quite a hard call to see two of this being in pro decks. Maybe it will find a way into face beast hunter, 4 attack is still quite okay. Other than that, its a card that quite mediocre.
This is straight up insane value. Not only does this minion has 12 health, not easy to shave off, it also has a nasty effect that forces this minion to die before any face damage can be done.
The only problem now is outside of hero power warlock doesn't have a lot of stuff that pricks his finger without bleeding out. Zoolock with Diseased Vulture already proves that getting damaged more than once a turn is tricky but not impossible, and this card forces you to hold cards until turn 10.
One redeeming feature if that this also generates a 6/6 when others damage your face so its not all that bad. Expect a few players to make that mistake, look at this card, and then concede.
Burn quest shaman has always been somewhere in the radar and this can help patch a few holes from that deck.
But Weaponized Wasp is just simply more flexible, and actually does something in the mid game. Judging from the speed which quest shaman gets 5 overloaded mana crystals, this will stick in your hand until after turn 8. And without any kobold lackeys, a 7 mana pyroblast to the face is probably not what quest shaman wants to do.
Without the double battlecry from quest, this is just a slightly better Fire Elemental, which saw play so this would probably too. Just don't think that 7 mana pyroblast is going to happen too often though.
The kind of epic you really, really dont want to see appear in your packs.
If it at least has charge or rush then there's something in it to duplicate this minion or cheat it out. But a mere 3 attack for all that trouble? The only thing kinda good about this minion is that its a 3/4 for 3, and a soft taunt, since if ever this appears in your deck your opponent would probably not want ignore this on pain of suffering a devastatingly punishing emote from the other side.
Still, looking forward to this being in battlegrounds.
Its too expensive, but will certainly see play simply because most control archetypes of priest needs early AOE more often than not. Still, it does only 2 damage, which doesn't really kill anything except for the aggros of aggro decks like murloc shaman.
Might see it in a midrange dragon priest deck that plays more for value. But its not really anything to go crazy over.
A silent nerf to kingsbane rogue in wild, since it almost forces them to include this into their deck just in case an accident like this card happens.
Its a better ooze, but at 5 mana, and competes directly with Harrison Jones. The question is whether you take the weapon or destroy it and draw cards, and most of the time the answer would be to draw cards.
Not in the current standard meta. Its just doesn't do enough in a class with some many other good weapons like Livewire Lance and Wrenchcalibur. Being a legendary doesn't help with consistency either.
There's not many pirates to tutor in the current standard. Maybe in coming expansions, but I just don't see this weapon getting anywhere.
If there was a bigger indicator that blizzard really wants Plot Twist to be playable, this would be it.
Put this in zoo along with plot twist and turn your garbage hand into gold. Makes us all wonder how much more unplayable Arch-Villain Rafaam can get. Even drawing 2-3 cards from this makes this good enough to see play. Certainly waiting to see which class uses this best.
Draw Shirvallah: your opponent has just been memed
card art looks decent enough. 4 doomsayers in every combo deck now.

Meme card at its best. Funny that it can transform into itself though.
If chameleos didn't see play this one doesn't really stand much of a chance isn't it.

If fluffy frosty is the name of the card when the expansion hits, I'm going to be crafting a golden. I can feel the power of fluff in my veins.

hmmm...i wonder what dragon aspect priest will get

To list down a few weapons that this card will most likely steal: Wrenchcalibur, Livewire Lance, Waggle Pick, Truesilver Champion, Hooked Scimitar, and if deathrattle rogue becomes a thing Necrium Blade. Its still a decent card, but if you need to deprive your opponent a weapon, Acidic Swamp Ooze is still the best card and hasn't gone anywhere.
Not in the current standard meta. Its just doesn't do enough in a class with some many other good weapons like Livewire Lance and Wrenchcalibur. Being a legendary doesn't help with consistency either.

wtf is this card. Plot twist into legendary hand at 4 lol
