I like how the devs are finally making use of the sleep mechanic (I have seen this being done in fan-made cards). The card is bad though, because for +1/+1 stats over a vanilla statted body you might get a minion, which won't attack for 2 or more turns and you will lose tempo because of it. This is why I have a hard time seeing this being used even in arena.
I think it will perform well enough in arena, you usually dont want to just rely on luck and leave a minion like that alive, so you try to trade into it anyway most of the time. But yeah, overall, not a great card.
Pretty sweet card to get off of conjurer's calling, especially in a mage mirror. Imagine how many mountain giants this can chew through and still be conjured into something new.
Edit: I just noticed this is a legendary. What the heck? This card screams packfiller common. Why would you to this to people, Blizzard? Who on earth is going to be happy cracking one of these open? Big yikes.
Colossus of the Moon (2):Big baddy that will come back with protection of a divine shield. It certainly looks scary, but it is all you will do in a turn.
Plague of Wrath (3): This aoe is about as reliable as brawl honestly. Sometimes it can be absolutely amazing and sometimes it hurts you more than your opponent. Im sure we will be using it, but im not sure how much will it reliably help on average.
Sunstruck Henchman (2): I think this card will perform very well simply due to the fact, that your opponent will not want to leave it up either way. Tho there is a potential for nasty streaks of bad luck that could easilly cost you the game.
This card looks like crap for pretty much any game mode now, but i actually like that it exists. It pollutes the random pool, but more importantly, it can be used in those fringe scenarios, like playing a friend as said already, or in certain brawls or PVE content. I like that we also get a few cards like that.
Yeah, there is a lot of cards that can be swapped out. I had the traps package there for some disruption and for the bow, but you can definitely swap them out for more card draw for example. Tho i am not sure you want Tracking, this is a combo deck after all and if you'll have to discard one of your combo pieces, that wouldnt be good. So yeah, not included on purpose
Grandmummy (3): The buffs are definitely nice and the card is a bit annoying, might also make you clear other minions so the wont get buffed, so it might end up performing a lot better than i give it credit for, but the stat-line is just horrible and the buffs come in very slowly.
Well, its mid of the summer, you are a little early with this :) But since they made a twist with the Fire Festival this year, chances are Frost Festival will have some kind of tie to the next xpac story as well.
Generous Mummy (4): It is a really good stat line for the cost and you get a 5/1 back too, but the drawback looks way to severe. The tempo you gain from playing this can very well be lost and then some in the next turn. It can work in some fast decks, but it will be a dangerous play no matter what.
High Priest Amet (2): Interesting card, can provide game winning advantage, or can be a huge drawback, if it has low health and you cant kill it off. But since priest can heal it and otherwise buff it, i will remain optimistic for now that this will do more good than harm on average. We shall see.
I dont think its worth it. There is a very low chance that you will get the minions you want. Id probably rather have another control tool to get me to actually draw what i need. What im saying is, i dont think it is worth crafting him, if you have him, feel free to try it out :)
You can put that volunteer work into your CV for example and gain experience in this area. You can look at it as an unpaid internship :) But yeah, it has been said that it is a volunteer position, same as being a moderator. We do it, cause we love the game and the community and want to grow the site. if you dont think that is worth your time, it is completely fair. Not everyone can afford to spend the time needed, even if they wanted to, we understand ;-)
This is something we want to do eventually, once we have proper tools for it and other more pressing stuff is finalized. But yeah, we definitely want this and more ;-)
Wasteland Assassin (3): Decent 5 drop. Stealth and Reborn make it very sticky, so chances are you will trade into what you want to trade at least once. For now im being a bit skeptical and looking at it as an average minion for the mana cost, but i would not be surprised, if it ended up performing better than i give it credit for.

Icehowl of SoU :) But yeah, Conjurer's Calling makes this card scary in some situations.

I guess ur not wrong, we can always try it and see how it performs :)

Maybe im confusing it with Winters Veil lol. But either way, so far no info about Frost Festival this year, as Flux said.
Yes, we do. But cannot give you ETA at the moment. But it is definitely something that will happen 100%.

Good effort, im interested to see which class can end up with a deck like this in the end :)
Locking the thread then, to make a clean transition ;-)

Thats what i do :D I hoard so much art for custom cards, never gonna use all that, but you know ... what if i needed that :)))
All of the above. Depends on a card. They said so many times in interviews ;-)
