    This card is bonkers. A 3/6 baseline is not the worst thing in the world, and any evolve card with this is insane. 5 stars.

    Very insane card for the Evolve, but wont see ay outside of that. What is going over people’s heads is how snowbally this card can be in an evolve deck: only evolving effect you play on her makes it so new minions get summoned, and that also means more targets for your evolve spells and effects. All in all, a great card for that deck, and can also be quite hilarious when the opponent will try to counter it with hex, metamorphosis or something along those lines.
    That being said, it’s more of a one off thing for the evolve deck, which certainly can’t rely just on synergising with her: the deck either works, and this card will be great in it, or it won’t, and this card won’t see play.

    Pretty sick card.

    1. Played on curve It is very hard to remove and must destroy card. Also you can set up the location to get a vashi and a 5 mana minion at turn 4. (Dont forget Jandice was at 5 mana pretty broken)
    And if the opponent cant destroy it, you can use the location again or even more evolve cards, pretty dangerous for the opponent.
    2. You can also get quite a big board with 5 mana cards in late game if you use Vashji and many evolve spells

    But its very depending of which more evolve cards shaman gets in the new set which we dont know and the question if its better than the snowfall guardian game plan. Because you dont want use a evolve effect when you use freeze effects.

    We will see but it has a great potential for a board oriented midrange deck.

    Now: 3/5
    Potential: 5/5

    A well statted minion that works great with evolve-style effects. A super cool concept, but the power of this card depends entirely on how much supporting cards will be present in the expansion. It could range from 2/5 to 5/5, and I’m not too hopeful to be honest.

    3/5

      Even more specific, the power level depends on the quality of 5-drops that are available in the format this is played. If those are mostly bad, then the chance to get more copies of bad cards makes this card bad.

      Regarding the support, this expansion alone already delivered 2 cards.

    Cool effect, but probably costs too much on its own. You’d want to hit this the turn you play it so it really isn’t THAT much better than simply playing a Chain Gang (or whatever other 2 minion for 4) and evolving one into a 3/6.

      so you wouldn’t play a 5 mana 3/6 summon a random 5 drop? (use this with the field spell)
      which also requires immediate removal

      pretty sure it’s good myself
