Some day I’ll be just like you! Some day I’ll be just like you! Some day I’ll be just like you! You require my assistance? DESIDERATUS BELLUM! Some day I’ll be just like you! Aha! I concede to you. First thing that came to mind when I saw this. If you can hit Uncle Tony with this, Exodia Mage may be possible again. Otherwise, I’m sure it can ve exploited in many other forms. 4/5 card.

Lul OK. A tier 5 deck at best. It’s a neutral Aggro package anyway, that doesn’t count.
Omega Mind
Well, yes, Keleseth is what it is, if you could guarantee it in your opening hand, then all decks except Spell Hunter would include it. But there’s Shudderwock decks out there with Wild Pyromancer, for example, so Keleseth is by no means an auto-include.
Omega Mind
Well duh, Reno is one of the best cards in the game. Antique Healbot can’t compare to it either, and it’s still a great card.
Omega Mind
I think it will be worth it. The extra stats from Keleseth in Shudderwock are much less impactful than in Aggro/Tempo decks. Keleseth is run simply because Shaman doesn’t have a 2-drop with a good Battlecry or that fits nicely in the deck (like this one). But yeah, we will need to wait and see.

I will come back at the end of August to this comment. I can’t imagine people will include a vanilla 5 mana 3/3 which is useless against non-Mech decks.
Omega Mind
Perfect, now Shudderwock Shaman has an extra Healing Rain when combining this with Volcano… Not to mention Shudderwock will also trigger this when played, and get out of reach easily. I hate Shudderwock, and this could make the deck better. 4/5 stars for strength, 1/5 stars from my personal view because I will hate the card.

So you need at least 5 cards in hand when playing this in order to get a Cinderstorm + a 3/3 for 6 mana (which is mediocre, but not terrible). More cards means more value. Could this be included in BSM. I mean, it would be nice burn to face if opposing board is empty, but otherwise, many of the missiles are gonna hit minions. Great against the likes of Odd Paladin, but otherwise I believe it’s too meh. Aggressive archetypes can’t run this because their hand is empty, and I don’t think it carries enough of a punch for Control archetypes. 1.5/5 stars.

I like the card art and the reference to Science Vessels from StarCraft. But come on… the card is grossly understatted. It should at least be a 4/4. Like it is, I’d rather run BGH, which will kill the magnetized Mechs 90% of the time but also other targets like Lich King or Giants. Now, it’s true that this can be good in Arena, since we will probably see a lot of Mechs there and I suspect Magnetic can be pretty powerful in Arena. But in constructed this is not going to see play, unless Mech decks are busted like Pirates were with Patches, and I don’t think we’ll see that. 0.5/5 stats in Constructed in General, 2/5 stars if meta is infested with Mechs, 3.5/5 stars in Arena in Boomsday, since Mechs will be evrywhere.

What Aggro deck has Priest had? Also, Zoo is non-relevant right now? WTF? It’s the most played deck right now!

Incorporating interesting effects from the taverns of time event, I like it! This card is highly dependant on the pool of expensive spells available to each class, and of course it will only be played in Control archetypes that can justify the tempo loss of playing this card. Maybe Big Spell Mage can run fewer spells and include this card instead, and we see a more tempo-based big spell mage. That’s just an example. I will definitely experiment with the card and see if it provides enough value. 2.5/5 stars
The Soularium
Yes! This goes immediately into my Discardlock Quest! And it’s still a great card regardless. 4.5/5 stars.

Yes, Blizzard knew what they were doing when they printed Patches. Or SRA with Raza. Or Shudderwock. You are right that Aggro decks will prevent Maly Druid from having 80% WR (but Maly Druid can still win many of those Aggro matchups if he draws a decent early game). But that’s not the point. The point is that combo decks like Shudderwock are obnoxious because they are auto-win vs pure Control archetypes. Right now Control decks have a fighting chance vs Maly Druid thanks to weapon removal, but with these new cards Maly Druid will 100% consistently beat these Control decks. So the meta will be Shudderwock, Maly Druid and Aggro decks to keep the broken combo decks in check. Control will not be viable, and that’s a bad meta.
Dreampetal Florist
Me: they have already made Maly Druid too consistent this expansion, I don’t believe they can possibly break the deck even more.
Blizzard: Hold my beer.
6/5 stars, BTW. We all know how Emperor Thaurissan shaped OTK decks, and what mana reduction does to combo decks.

Rogue has been getting very interesting cards this expo, but come on, this spell is overcosted AF. Play Dead triggers a Deathrattle once for 1 mana, and its low cost allows it to combo powerfully, as we have seen in Hunter. Hunter also bas a 3/3 for 3 that triggers a Deathrattle. This should be a 3 cost spell, since it leaves no body behind. But it’s 5 because of Prep. Seriously, Prep needs to be HoF’ed, or else cool Rogue spells like this one will continue to be overcosted. We already suffered this with WANTED! in Witchwood (awesome card for flavor, but should have costed 3 mana, not 4), and now with this again. Because it’s overcosted, it will probably only see play in the Malygos OTK that people are suggesting, since this provides close to no tempo. 1.5/5 stars in general, 3.5/5 stars in Malygos OTK with Kobold Illusionist.

Also, I don’t think this goes into Toggwaggle Druid. I’ve played a lot of that deck, and usually your second UI is a dead card until you switch decks. Since you have to dump your hand after you drew your deck in order to proc this, that sdcond UI will kill you due to fatigue damage. My Plan B in Toggwaggle Druid is and probably will continue to be Lorewalker Cho, to guarantee that I switch decks if Twig is broken.

Awesome card! Probably not viable competitively since the condition is so hard to proc. Sure, we have all had matches where we emptied all our resources and something like this would have won us the game. But it’s a dead card for a huge part of the game, or a cool-looking Faceless Behemoth if you don’t proc it. At least we will see it when summoned in Spiteful decks. Now, even though it’s probably a meme, I will always advocate for alternate win conditions, and this is one, albeit a clunky one. Competitively 1.5/5 stars, but flavor-wise and cool mechanic this is 5/5 stars.
Power Word: Replicate
Yeah really sad. I can’t run Quest Priest because I’m missing the Quest and Benedictus, and either way I probably wouldn’t want to play it often, the games just take forever. I really wish they printed some support for Lady in White. I have the card and I believe it has a lot of potential. But right now she doesn’t fit in any deck, and cards so far aren’t bringing any hope. 🙁
Can be comboed with Elektra? Check. Can be tutored with the 3/4 elemental that draws big spells? Check. Powerful effect? Nope. 🙁 What a huge letdown of legendary spell!!! Only application is Token Shaman, and by Turn 7 you should be killing your opponent with Bloodlust, not evolving them into random legendaries. And if you didn’t know, random legs are pretty bad on average. 0.5/5 stars, I don’t know if this or the Runespear are worse. Sorry for Shamans.
