Eager Underling
the plan is to destroy it with grim rally (or evil genius), but i’m not quite sure that’s enough sac outlets, nor enough eggs…
Developer Insights: Smart Deck Builder
I had smart deck builder put Hench clan thug into my wall priest…
and i don’t even own the priest weapon…
Nozari
I’ve been playing even spell healadin recently. Nozari is not the support that it needs. it either needs a second pay off, self damage that isn’t a weapon, or a spell that heals minions. light forged blessing is a good pickup, and a third ring the bells/blessing of kings/spikeriged steed wouldn’t go astray.
Shadowy Figure
Firstly. the minion copied must have a death rattle.
Secondly, the aim is to get twice the effect off by paying 2 mana.
One (bad) example would be playing mechanical welp, and shadowy figure that to get 2 7/7 minions next turn.
Duel!
Am I missing something, isn’t this either gather your party for 1 less mana or oops i drew your combo, or 5 mana draw 1 card burn 1 card?
Lightforged Blessing
Yes.
I don’t think that the support for lightforged blessing is obvious. Also, we don’t quite know how twinspell plays…
Lightforged Blessing
I don’t see how this is win more? Life gain effects slow down more aggressive decks.
Also, there will be a lifegain payoff in standard, and a spell payoff too.
As for the cost, I think 2 feels high, but echo cards are about as steep, and I think that the mechanics are fairly similar.

And a c’thun…
Akali, the Rhino
1) Town Crier is sometimes run in warrior
3) Assuming that you are just using this for the card draw, let’s say you want 10 rush cards
Darius, Zilliax, Militia Comander, Redband wasp, Viscous Scalehide make 8. there should be some more rush minions coming.
4) what would you say if instead of don han’cho i said that it was Mana Tide Totem after 2 Prince Keleseth activations?
It’s a Good Thing that Blizzard is not pushing 0/3 minions in every class, as the worst thing about Akali is his 5 health.
Spirit of the Frog
I think the bigger issue is that we have a few too many good 3 mana spells. If we run frog spirit do we need to run avalanche?
Princess Talanji
It’s a real shame really,
Tess should’ve gotten spiky hair to go with the rest of team -zombies- Spiky Hair!
But at least there’s synergy between her, Spirit of Sonya Shadowdancer, and Bwonsamdi’s Unstable element.
Predatory Instincts
I’m not convinced that hadronox is the best card to tutor, grizzled and verdant longneck seem like better choices, though they don’t witching hour well.
We still need to see more of the expansion before we can say what the (hopefully aggro) druid needs.
Though if you want a strong capstone for your aggro I don’t think those are it either?

It feels like they’re trying to compete with a certain other card game who’s current sets are in a city with guild teams that have strong loyalty from their fans…
Spirit of the Shark
let’s ignore that a spirit lasts 2 or more turns and look at what 1 turn gets you
in combo cards:
6 mana vancleff
8 mana sprint that tutors
9 mans 8/3 with stealth 1 turn
in battle cries:
6 mana forge of souls
8 mana to fill your deck with spiders
and there’s a decent amount of buffing or tutoring battle cries…
Spirit of the Shark
Do we have confirmation on that? The wording is ambiguous.
That being said, it may only matter in wild at the moment, as the standard combo spells say “instead” or “return this to hand next turn”…?
assuming that you apple on curve, you can play this turn 5. 2 mana add 3 random cards to your hand are great to play after you’ve used your initial burst.
