And the cards are old, as in before I started playing in mid-2015.

Partly. There are two cards, and the answer is a mashup of sorts, thus the addition.

Edit: clarification

Nope.

Really easy and silly for a weekend: Taz'dingo + Ready for action = ?

[card]Walnut Sprite[/card] seems to check the boxes (echo, 3/3 3-drop, name clue), except for the first line.

You got it, R! You're up!

Given the events of today, this is the only card I could choose:

Looking out over the land

I strike quickly to defend my pride

Overcoming adversity

On the field

Of battle

Thanks, but I really feel bad about taking the next one since I never would have figured this one out without them. I was sure that line 3 had to be [card]Acornbearer[/card], which left me thinking about [card]First Day of …

OK, putting together R and anchorm4n's work:

1. Line 1 could be [card]Wicked Whispers[/card] or [card]Whirlwind[/card]

2. Line 2 could be some Mage frosty 1-drop, maybe [card]Brain Freeze[/card] or [card]Snap Freeze[/card]

3. Line 3, well we'll get …

Wonderful art and article! One sad thing for us Arena players is that we won't get to play with Swiftfoot Boots, since that is Commander-only I think. And actually Song of Inspiration as well.

Edit: Forgot to mention Song …

Sounds like "Faceless" is what is in common. [card]Faceless Manipulator[/card] for the first line, [card]Faceless Shambler[/card] and [card]Faceless Lurker[/card] for the second line (and actually [card]Faceless Manipulator[/card] works if a Taunt is on board), and [card]Faceless Summoner[/card] for the third …

OK R, it wasn't what I had in mind but it was vague so I'll give it to you. What I had in mind was [card]Chillwind Yeti[/card] and [card]Circus Amalgam[/card], btw. So for finding a creative alternative, R, you're up!

Do I feel a cold draft, almost windy?

Nope. Stats not so big, or even as big as [card]Frozen Crusher[/card]. Also needs a match in Darkmoon Faire for stats, including cost. And absence of tribe for the answer, and presence of tribe(s) for the Faire counterpart.

And remember that the answer card is old, so scale your expectations of huge stat value appropriately (i.e. not *that* huge). Though I recall that folks thought it wasn't given a tribe because it would have been broken with a …

Orphan is without tribe.The Faire counterpart, is well, the opposite really. And has another attribute hinted at. And the stats are not ginormous, just large compared to the cost, which is also equivalent between the answer and the Faire counterpart.

Also, orphan is about tribe, and [card]Flamewreathed Faceless[/card] is tribeless as well.

Good guess, but no. Doesn't fit the Faire angle I think.

Another oldie:

I am an orphan, strong in my solitude

One day I go to the Faire to see the big attraction

What is this? I am his equal in stature

But he is no orphan, …

At the risk of turning this into Treasure Hunt ping-pong, is it [card]Ysera the Dreamer[/card]? New take on old card, battlecry get 5, arena champ according to heartharena.
