Well it’s a Mage card that synergizes with secrets so the 3 mana secret into this is a likely curve. And the lower cost makes it more likely to get an early big tempo play from this than the Substitute
The thing I'm surprised about is that they are adding Pure Pally support now when the other Pure cards will rotate out before this. So unless there are more Pure cards planned this minion might be the only Pure card in standard for all next Hearthstone year.
In that case this card is pretty sick! It'd be a late game play, but paired with Wrathscale Naga it could be better than when paired with Juggler, and only one more mana!
I pray for the Face of whatever Mage or Shaman devolves their Demon Hunter opponents’ minion into this! Especially if they can then play Expendable Performers, or whatever! That “fill the board with Illidari, if they die this turn do it again” card.
I fully expect Mark to play a combo deck around getting Cable Rat into a Faceless lackey to summon this 2 drop playing DH for the memes (and the Vengeance!)
Right. I was also thinking in Wild you could do something like play this on a friendly Ragnaros. The silenced 8/8 could then attack as normal and the 4/4 copy gets the Rag shot off.
Are you sure? It says "if all die", it does not specifically say "if all 7 die". I would assume you only have to kill off the ones you summoned for the repeat effect, not summon all 7 and kill them.
If you have a Knife Juggler on board, you only summon 6, so 7 can’t die to get the resummon effect. You could play it on an empty board, trade one, play Juggler, then trade the rest. Still 6 juggles!
Pretty sure it’ll only resummon them once. Otherwise it’d say “continue summoning seven more” or something like that. And I’d assume if you only have six open slots you just over paid for whatever the 5 mana summon 6 Illidari with Rush card is called.
When we see more cards for this expansion, it might make more sense. Might be more good deathrattle cards for Hunter.
Even if it’s not great immediately in standard it could boost a DR Hunter deck in Wild, or be supported by a few cards in the mini set or next year’s sets.
First thing I thought as I've been playing a lot more Wild lately, "Hello, Pogos!"
I know it'll be inconsistent, but still... very fun shenanigans indeed!

Feel like this is what Hidden Wisdom should have been...

Hello there, Pure Zilliax!
Looking forward to trying this out in an Even Paladin build.

I don’t see prize ticket. And ride ticket is already crossed off for a card featuring a game or ride.
EDIT: Oh I see it now. Yeah, should count! If not, set call back for shuffling three cast when drawn minion spells like Faldorei Strider also fits.

Just like when the Ancient One was printed. But... he was brand new!
Yeah, that's possible... I guess we wait and see.
Half cost you say?!?! Dear Gaud!!!
I’ve only had early access for one day and I can say these changes are needed.
The Prize Plunderer could be old set call back as it is similar to Spectral Pillager.
Dear God! They’ve weaponized the Epic Rarity Gem!

Great target for Maxima, and a good addition to Wild DR Hunter decks, or maybe a midrange/control Mech build?!
