I'll be honest, if team5 had concealed this card and revealed the others, the concoctions would be a shoe-in for the lady liadrin award of this expansion.

Because all of them are shit...until you have this card in hand. Even at its baseline you'll cheat out one concoction, and then with [card]shadowstep[/card] you get another one out completely for …

Probably useless. Because [card]potion belt[/card] completely renders this card redundant. And if that isn't painful enough, even [card]concoctor[/card] makes more sense than this card.

Unless youre going full concoctions this card is just a pass, a massive shit that needs flushing.

This would be second time we're seeing putricide and I can already say with some confidence that this card is like its predecessor, utter garbage

So much contrivance just to get concoctions and then at random. Which means you're essentially adding more bricks to your hand as you struggle to do anything useful. Also, the conditions to get those …

Its probably playable but I wouldn't call it a good card.

Mostly because you get concoctions at random, so it could be something you want to play on 2 alongside [card]ghoulish alchemist[/card], but it also could easily be a brick in your hand. Those concoctions can be devilishly expensive for rogue in the wrong matchup.

Still, 1 drop …

In my opinion this is just the best concoction generator card, even better than cards like [card]concoctor[/card] or [card]potionmaster putricide[/card]

Because the other generators gives you concoctions at random, while this card gives you the best chance at what you need/like, rather than rely on rng. Most of the concoctions aren't specifically good themselves, and can be outright useless …

Well, the concoctions certainly aren't as weak as I thought, but the only reason I think its playable at all is because of [card]ghoulish alchemist[/card] helping to cheat these things out. Imagine getting slimy or hazy concoctions out on 2, that's good enough tempo to start with. With [card]shadowstep[/card] you can actually contrive to get a combined concoction out as …

Its the sort of card that dhunter really needs right now, so it doesn't just fold to aggro. Implock into relic dhunter is practically an instant concede because of the lack of early removal options.

That said, this card fills the hole only imperfectly. 1 damage across the board doesn't really do much, so its almost 100% dependent on …

It does plug that one hole dhunter is currently suffering from, which is early board removal, but its so weak. Not so much the [card]immolation aura[/card] that the class needs as much as it is just another version of [card]felscream blast[/card]

Probably not going to be too impactful but it will see play because there's really not many other …

As we have seen, frost cards are good. And this being an easy condition to fulfill, I can't see this not seeing play.

I mean, you can a third [card]horn of winter[/card], or [card]frostwyrm's fury[/card], that's just insane.

Dont know how and why but this card will at some point repeat history the same way [card]deck of lunacy[/card] did

May look like shit but Ive long since learnt to respect random shit from mage.

This card is just insane. Not because of its tess-like qualities, but because if you get other broken mage cards like [card]solid alibi[/card], [card]rune of the archmage[/card], etc. then the game is more or less over. Even just two [card]rune of the archmage[/card] will suffice as a win con for this card.

It gets even wilder in wild, get …

Im tempted to say that this might be good, but more likely its too inconsistent to ever be. You'll still play this, but I dont think the win rates going to be anywhere near good.

The pool is too big and my guess is that you'll rather just be playing other stuff, from skeletons, freezes, to burn and draw …

Im giving this 4 stars out of respect of its possible power level. Because even I know this card wouldn't see any play in standard because there's no way to seriously gain enough armor for this to be worthwhile. And its mana cheating is a bit redundant with [card]wildheart guff[/card] around

But that said, it does possess a worthy …

Its not good. The fact is that health gain is only ever useful in decks that can either draw well, control the board, or the opposition is a burn deck.

I cant see where this card lies to be honest. It doesn't activate [card]crypt keeper[/card] consistently and allows your opponent to interact with your armor before you get the …

The only way this card sees play is out of discovers, because its actively competing with other stuff like [card]flipper friends[/card], which may well be the better card.

Because while it does grant you either 3/3 taunts or 12 armor, both aren't particularly valuable because they dont grant initiative, one of the main reasons why rush is usually better …

Edit: Now that the haze is off, I can see now that [card]beetlemancy[/card] is a choose one card. Thank fuck for that. Playable shit, but not OP as hell. I have to remove my rant here, so apologies for those who were unfortunate enough to have read it

The cards, well, they're good but the only interesting card here …

This, in my opinion, is what I always hated about mage's identity

Whenever mage goes full random things go brrrr, I always get this feeling of inevitability, like all my hard work really never matters because no matter how ahead I am I'll find myself losing the game because of some bs random event happening that can never be …

It gives you reasons to run [card]candleshot[/card], but with [card]shockspitter[/card] you'll run that card anyway.

So is this any good? If you can curve candleshot on 1 then yes. Otherwise its just a spidertank. And hunter draws being what it is, this card may very well be cut simply because of consistency reasons.

Because I still believe that …

Alright here's the thing. The conditions for this card is woeful. Basically you have to run [card]candleshot[/card] or this thing does little to nothing and would be better be replaced by cards like [card]frenzied fangs[/card], [card]spirit poacher[/card], etc.

But because of its potential, cheap cost, and the fact that the conditions are manageable somewhat, you'd probably just play it …

The good thing about this card is that its not completely shit, and that says a lot given that the weapon costs 6, usually weapons costing 5 and above need great justification to even be bothered with.

And this one does have one good niche. It deals 4 damage and then it buffs your board for a finish or …
