Good for Rogue’s Jackpot pool.
Printing big spells for hunter is always a risky choice when the naga cards are still in standard, but I don’t really see Hunter going for such a heavy lifter with so little potential. Sure, it can remove three minions and also damage face, but it’s random, meaning it will be far more clunky to use than it seems, exceptionally so in the late, where the enemy either has wide boards (against the which this card sucks) or tall ones (against the which this card also sucks). All in all, there is some potential there, but i don’t expect this to be played right now.
The dream is 15 damage to the face. Reality is there being only 2 minions, one of which is likely above 6 Health.
Still, the highroll on this is extreme, so I just have to rate it higher just for that fact.
3/5
The Twinbow naga than this card pretty ridicilous.
But you need at least 3 enemy minions and you or your opponent are already dead at turn 8 if you play beast.
Too special, too random, niche card in standard.
3/5
Wait this is just cast 3 Piercing Shots for the cost of 2. This is kinda sneaky good, no?
Can someone clarify what happens if your opponent only has 1 minion? Would it hit that minion for essentially upwards of 17 damage?
The way it’s phrased makes it seem like it would deal 6 damage just once. Otherwise I’d expect it to say something in the fashion of: “Deal 6 damage to random minion, excess damage hits the enemy hero. Repeat 3 times.”
*repeat 2 times
