I think this card is too slow, priest doesn't have many ways to instantly activate it and your opponent can choose to not even trigger it at all (if they have minions with less than 5 attack) and just go face or just trade into this with the board losing the impact of the AOE it's Chillmaw -2 mana -2/-1 and more importantly no taunt, so it's not that great probably won't be run since it's a deathrattle, unless you have deathrattle support.
Nozdormu the Timeless is a "fair card" since the effect is symmetrical that's the class identity there like Equality it's fighting "Fair" but the player got control over it by their deck/class being able to abuse that, besides druid got like 20 themes by now it's inevitable one of them will be used by other classes.
Setting minions to 1 hp isn't the paladin's identity, they got only 3 cards that do that (as far as I know) and hunter got also one in the basic set Hunter's Mark, as well as poisonous beasts are also part of the class' tool kit.
Look how they themed hunter in this expansion around Gryphons/Riders/Dwarves and Primordial Dragons. I think it fits well and I have been playing hunter for a while in past. Also this Stormhammer is a ranged weapon with lightning power of it.
The end is coming! this meta will be the last hearthstone is a dead game. will be called "Battlegrounds- the card game" ..
Jokes aside, you can't compare it to anything else, a delayed board clear where the body is a 0/X that happens at the start of the turn and dies with it.
Also people need to get their contest entry somehow at least they are creating some consensus about the card.. sadly though most people don't actually read other's comments and try to add anything.. but it's better than 3 comments per card like last expansion..
Every deck has costs all over the place it's too inconsistent to be actually used, this kind of effect rarely sees play specially effects that are random And depend on your opponent's cards...
Yes if your curve is high you can screw them but you won't be idle all early game for such effects.. Even Astral druid runs wild growth and innervate..
Hello OOC team, I had an idea to make card discussions more Informational and colorful.
Having to quote cards on mobile is a pain(also on desktop but it's more manageable)..
There was this feature which blackened keywords automatically, it would be nice if such feature was available for cards as well..(with an option to turn it on/off for off topic,runnatera or other card games).
If a card name is written right it would be linked to the card name.
Would such feature slow the forums down or is it feasible? Maybe just have a feature to "scan highlighted lines for card names" so there are less quarries to the server to check for card names (as well only check the correct card game).
Well in mage you can now run your 3rd and 4th doom sayer if you need to it makes board clears more consistent.. Or also the 2ns one in highlander so frost nova has more uses..
This might as well be a mage card.
Another upside is that you can do the combo for 4 mana, the downside is that's it's easier to deal with, and that it can't deal with big minions..
But 5 damage is a lot.
(sorry for not quoting cards it's annoying to do that while on mobile)
It's fine. Not much more to say, really: it has okay stats for its cost and the effect can really ruin someone's day. However, the card is kind if boring and often wont make much of a difference. So...yeah. It's fine.
Wouldn't call this boring, since you can actually copy it and ruin your opponent's whole deck by filling it with 1/1s
You can meme with it so I find this card actually good.
1/5 too damn random, even if it's 5 mana legendary no matter what (which can also be not only 5 mana but changing mana cost as well it's not 100%) you might get some classic/situational/synergistic legendaries most of the time and be stuck with a dead card, plus it's bad when drawn a 5 mana vanilla 5/5 is not desirable...
it's fun though Shaman is very strong atm so it's fine to give them bad cards.. just not freeze shaman level bad cards..
Deny 2 draws for any deck is painful and as stated before it ruins "if you have no duplicates" clause as well for a decent body for 3 mana and a sometimes relevant beast tag.
This card is quite good tbh, you can play it as a tech vs highlander or just as a good aggressive minion in a deck that wants an aggressive stated 3 drop with an upside or maybe the beast hunter deck.
Since I dismissed the 3/4 raven as bad and while saying this is good: this card is stand alone good while the raven asks you to go though hoops for little reward (+3 attack per duplicated raven and works ONLY for other ravens)
Also it should be noted that most 2 drops being played as far as I know are 2/2s or 2/3s rather than 3/2s so the stat line is OK for a 3 drop.
You can also go overboard on this and try to trigger the deathrattle enough times or duplicate the card (incoming Bad luck rogue?) to make your opponent draw NOTHING but 1/1 for 1 beasts if your opponent can't play actual cards.. they lose..
It's much better than Weasel Tunneler since it can't backfire and ruins the deck faster.
Will give another claim to this card's effect being relevant.. Impbalming turns out to not be a playable card although it looks good turns out thrashing your deck is actually relevant while playing control as well as also in warlock.. also this is REALLY good vs combo decks that want an empty deck (currently druid and paladin) since it delays them by 2 draws.
- at this point the opponent is forced to remove it (soft taunt), because of the risk of facing a 12/8 on next turn, turn-4.
Not to mention Dire Frenzy or similar efficient cloners. Or, as others said, the bare fact that a 3-3/4 Beast is still a nice play.
This card may not be OP, it might be just a Beast deck stuff, but this is by far NOT a meme.
It's like, if a card has OTK potential, then it is only valued in OTK terms, and the rest is overlooked...
This card has no direct downside, not even Tempo loss.
Cause Nightmare Amalgam is played in hunter decks just for the stats.. a 6/4 for 4(cause you are floating mana) is nothing spectacular this card is bad and I will have every epic I open this expansion be this card.
Well it does what most late game dragons do, it's bad vs aggro but good vs midrange/control, it's purpose vs aggro is to be holding a dragon, it's a threat that is essentially taunt unless your opponent got lethal since they won't want to attack you since you will then get a lot of value.
I am unsure about this card, depends on how good dragon warlock/hand lock is.
As an unlucky player who never opened Harrison Jones in a classic pack despite playing since naxx this 400 dust version actually appeals to me as a way to actually include high impact weapon removal in my deck..
Btw this card is also a pirate so it can be searched for in warrior and rogue with Ancharrr and Raiding Party so if the meta is weapon heavy the decks that run the weapons also can fetch their weapons back (as long as they have enough durability to actually be able to take it back).
stealing a weapon is destroying it for your opponent without triggering deathrattles, "drawing the weapon", then playing the weapon with as much durability/buffs it had so it might be more valuable by a lot than destroying and drawing cards.. specially vs rogue.
This is just a 3/4 beast with an occasional ability. That is fine. I think the potential upsides from a few of the hunter cards is good enough that this can see additional play, but it doesn't have to be some crazy combo card. I think everyone is kind of harsh on completely playable cards.
Why play this when you can play Nightmare Amalgam ? which you can also magnetize stuff to as well as have the beast synergies and use Lightfang Enforcer to buff it and your whole board (talking about the game mode this card is made for and won't be good there anyway)
Looks like a battlegrounds card rather than a hearthstone card, other than that it's a decent arena card, don't see this card doing anything.. they keep printing "if you have more copies of this card in the field" so it reminds me of Desert Obelisk.
anyway I think this card belongs to battlegrounds and somehow found it's way to actual hs.

about the new card there's a nice explanation here (by Almaniarra): https://outof.cards/hearthstone/558-hunter-weapon-reveal-stormhammer

Let's say you play priest you run sw pain or forbidden words right? You play this card, you draw forbidden words, they draw leeroy..
Yep perfect anti aggro tool.

But why?
I would expect a deck restriction here...
If your deck contains only dragons.. Would be a nice restriction.. But why... Is this just that?
Seems too strong to me.
Wouldn't call this boring, since you can actually copy it and ruin your opponent's whole deck by filling it with 1/1s
You can meme with it so I find this card actually good.

This used to be a one off reward for going highlander, now it costs 1 less and have a much easier condition..
Good thing solia wasn't considered a must have or too strong.. Just an OK card in Reno mage back in 2016..
Inb4 5 mana 3/5 battlecry: if you are holding a dragon restore your hero to full
Dragon mage already works now add a card that is both early removal and replaces itself..
Well seeing as mage is none exist ant in ladder both before and after wild tomb event it could use a little bit of power..
Power creep
Year of the raven was weak to lower the power level of the game.. Sure...

Quest shaman just got additional 20 potential face damage in the deck it's not like they were otking you or anything anyway.
Well it does what most late game dragons do, it's bad vs aggro but good vs midrange/control, it's purpose vs aggro is to be holding a dragon, it's a threat that is essentially taunt unless your opponent got lethal since they won't want to attack you since you will then get a lot of value.
