The amount of stuff that needs to happen for this card to be good, Im just not feeling it.

Basically we're asking if the card is good solely as a 3 mana 4/4 and my answer is no. Is there any reason to believe that silverhand recruits can actually last beyond the turn their played, my answer is also …

Upgraded once this card is a decent removal, better than most others on that mana cost range.

But that's the problem isn't it. All the relics are useless unupgraded so you're probably not playing this for this power level, but as a stepping stone towards better relics effects in future. And honestly, its not so shit that playing it …

[card]Relic of dimensions[/card] alone makes this card viable. Being able to draw 4 with discount is pre-nerf [card]skull of gul'dan[/card] levels of power so there's no doubt in my mind this card would see play.

Its downside is of course that you need to skip a turn, but probably worth it if the effect is powerful enough. Might be …

A poor card unupgraded, but you'd probably play it anyway because its a relic

Once upgraded, this card can do things, but probably not game-winning because it'll never realistically summon anything bigger than 6/6, and in the late game that's hardly doing anything.

Its main purpose here is to upgrade other relics. That's about it

Its probably not too hard to get this infused by turn 8, and honestly even uninfused this card isn't really all that bad.

The main challenge is whether dhunters can actually even support a relic-heavy deck and what the end game actually is. In my opinion, its probably supporting control dhunter, probably with [card]sire denathrius[/card] end game. Whatever the …

Its probably mini-[card]skull of gul'dan[/card], and at 5 mana its not really too bad but it does need at least one upgrade in order to be viable.

The fact that you dont need to outcast this, and that upgrading this at least once before turn 5 is highly likely, I don't think there's any trouble for me to call …

Probably just for memes, because if your game plan consist of dicking your opponent then very likely you're not aiming to win anyway.

The amount of hoops you need to go through just for this to work, not to mention the amount of rng, and the poor cards associated with this effect like [card]psychic conjurer[/card]. You're better off trying …

The description is a little weird, because it implies that you get to choose from their entire hand, which would be funny UI wise. Pretty sure what you get is something like [card]star student stelina[/card] where you get to choose from three cards.

But will it see play? Well, rogue hasn't played any secrets in the last four months …

Good point, but do they actually improve after one another or is it all casted at the same time?

I think its a safe bet that its entirely random.

On another point, Im sure the relics dont improve ad infinitum or otherwise relic of dimensions actually get worse in the late game. Does anyone know if there's an …

Hearthstone has really gone to the point where 4/4s on turn 3 nowadays aren't any special or good, particularly in paladin where playing for tempo tends to be really difficult. In my opinion, if that's the only consistent output for this card then its a no brainer trash material.

Does it matter? The three leaked so far aren't exactly countering one another.

Fairly insane when infused, decent even uninfused. Since the relics improve after each play, there's every reason to believe this will either kill something, develop a board, or draw a bunch of cards, and that along with an 8/8 to boot. And if you infused this then you get all three which will easy turn the tide. There's just no …

Team5 really wants dude pally to get somewhere because outside of it this card is useless. The last thing you need is a buff that only works on specific minions, and since this card isn't even the entire board all you get is really a +3+3 albeit at a really cheap price.

Im not optimistic to be honest. Odd …

Tyrant in arena? But certainly trash in constructed.

Its only hope perhaps lie in wild, where [card]charge[/card] is a card. But in standard even [card]murloc tinyfin[/card] would go over this card.

Can get big. That's about it. Unfortunately for it, the per-requisite to even be remotely viable in constructed requires at very least having either taunt or rush, or a reason to believe that by playing it the game is over. And this card dodges just about every requirement.

Perhaps there's a card that rez infused minions, so maybe there's …

The biggest problem with the card isn't [card]rustrot viper[/card], because if your opponent is spending 3 mana to deal with your weapon, they're not progressing their own turn and chances are you've just spent a billion mana on your turn making a massive weapon with a board to boot. The problem here is reload, of which rogue has struggled with …

There needs to be more support before this sees any play at all. The main problem here is that there's barely any totems worth running and even with a buffed up hp, that's still no reason to play a hypothetical aggro-totem shaman deck over the much faster and stronger murloc shaman

That said, this card isn't bad at all. …

3 years, 8 months ago · on New Shaman Minion - The Stonewright

That's completely unexpected.

But is the card good enough as it is right now, with the totems that we currently have? Probably not. Of all the classes, shaman tends to do better than click hp every turn, and brukan is in every deck anyway, so at some point this card is not just a poor topdeck its also gets …

Basically its [card]spectral pillager[/card], but in weapon form, meaning you can't just [card]shadowstep[/card] this card and deal damage twice.

Its certainly going to see play, simply because it deals direct damage to face and theoretically if your opponent has no viper then you just won the game. The main problem, is obviously if they do have viper then you're …

Its really a build around that would likely be sticking around priest decks for a least a year, so long as buff cards are still relevant for priest and they actually play on board.

In a way I see this as something similar to [card]high priest amet[/card], who saw plenty of play, until priest stopped playing for board and …
