Dont know what broken things you can do with this card but somehow someway some pro will make it happen.

For that reason alone Im tentatively giving this 5 stars, simply because its inevitable.

Its thief priest support.

Yup, that about does it for a review. Its not supposed to be good, which it really isn't, but its kinda the stuff priest tends to get one way or another.

When I saw all the druid cards prior to this, I had hoped that we might actually have a mild druid set this time round.

And then I saw [card]crypt keeper[/card] and immediately get that feeling 'Here the fuck we go again'

 

I'd just like to remind team5 that there are other classes in the game …

This card is insane. In fact, I wont be too surprised to see it nerfed week 1.

[card]Feral rage[/card] instantly makes a 4/6 taunt + gain 8 armor. Is team5 on coke? Or are we entertaining the idea that druid shouldn't actually have any weaknesses? Hell, you dont even need this on 3, as long as it costs 0 …

We've seen one big boy in [card]blightblood berserker[/card], the real question is whether there is any cheap minions we can avoid putting into the deck just to increase this card's consistency.

[card]Clownfish[/card] disagrees, and I agree with clownfish. This card can get better, but until there's an actual reason to run big, its unplayable trash.

Lol, no.

Outcast itself is already pretty much a weak description and here comes a card that can only ever get good if you play a bunch of them. Unless we're looking at plenty of cheap outcast cards (or an outcast generator) being introduced in this expansion we're very unlikely to ever see this being played, because its simply …

Probably not good. As we have experienced, [card]deathstalker rexxar[/card] in standard right now isn't really any good, its actually worse than tavish if you can believe that.

Another problem being the beast pool is full of unplayable stuff. Without lifesteal beasts like [card]vicious scalehide[/card], the whole zombeast thing tends to fall apart really quickly, because its slow as hell.

In aggro shadow priest this card is pretty good. 3 mana for a 3/3 and then another 3/3 for free later on? That's good enough for 3 mana. Slow, but aggro decks need reload, and a 3/3 for 3 is hardly worthless for an aggro deck.

Doesn't exactly tell us what priest's identity for this expansion would be though. …

Yet another one of those cards that are perfectly good in other classes but in druid remains complete unplayable trash.

If [card]colaque[/card] couldn't get into the game what makes anyone think this one will? The only way it'll ever see play (and by my book the chances are about as high as the ground up to a dog's turd) …

The interesting part about this card is that it has a deathrattle, and the theme of this expansion being deathrattles means there has got to be a way to either cheat this out or trigger it.

Aside from that, this is a solid 8 drop for shaman, even if youre not focusing on the deathrattles. Basically this will almost …

Can't think of any obvious candidates for this card, but undoubtedly this card is clunky as hell.

The main problem is the question of whether you throw this out on board or you're actually suggesting that a minion with a deathrattle (and good one as well) would somehow actually survive a turn for you to gain value out of …

Its basically [card]savage roar[/card] in another name, weaker but still good.

Its good, dont get me wrong, but whereas similar finisher cards in the past tended to be at least unconditional, this one is both conditional and is nearly useless outside of ending the game.

Im actually not too sure how to rate this card.

On one hand it actually does what warlock wants to do, which is to gain life and dealing face damage is decent if not a good bonus. But its high cost make this a little forbidding. Because assuming most controlock decks would play curses, where does this card even …

Im actually interested. Is there a contrivance as to why this can't happen, except as death knights?

Far as I know, the curse is actually a druid thing, so its related to nature magic as opposed to arcane or necromancy. So why cant worgen come back as undead?

Looks like rogue is doing the relics next expansion, except its called concoctions this time. If Im guessing, the concoctions are standalone spells that will keep adding itself into each other so at the end you'll get one massive drug that would presumably end the game.

But honestly, if it ends the game any later than turn 7 you …

Its an instant board swing, and for a class thats slow as hell this is almost a near mandatory inclusion into all but aggro decks.

No need to describe how good the card is. Since its a 7 mana card it wont interfere with [card]order in the court[/card] drawing your cariel. There's just no argument. If you play pally, …

Not too bad, especially given that it'll likely see play in control decks whether or not you have dragons in it. Not to mention that the card can give you [card]anachronos[/card], and that can sometimes save your life.

Might even sometimes give you a win con in [card]kazakusan[/card] as well.

I have a strong feeling this card has been nerfed before launch, because this card looks awful. We already had this 4 years ago and his name is [card]scaleworm[/card], a card that saw some play but is frequently dropped in most lists. And here's a card 4 years later that's only marginally better than his predecessor.

Very likely team5 …

Its the real reason why you'd be playing dragon pally, not [card]anachronos[/card].

It may be slow, but that can be said to just about any paladin card that's not from this set. So its permissible to assume that a pally deck will still be playable even if they drop a 4 mana 3/5 on board.

The real power …

As with most of discard synergy cards, its bad when its not for free.

But in dedicated decks this card might just be what you need because as it stands Im not entirely sure what the wincon is for discolock but judging by what is seen right now its likely not aggro, so a taunt is not just nice, …
