    If you are going to generate random cards, random spells is probably the best way to go. Class cards are generally more powerful than neutral cards, and spells are more likely to have an instant effect making random spells easier to utilize. Whether this card is played or not really just depends on how easy it is to trigger frenzy.

    It looks decent, but its probably still arena fodder. No one would include a 2 mana 2/3 that only sometimes have an effect.

    Too bad frenzy doesn't trigger more than once, otherwise this would be a legit threat. Oh well.

    Okay i love this kinda card. It generates something random, but you gotta work for it instead of getting it immediatly. Also it gives a random spell from your class, so it's ACTUALLY random. As someone who loves GENUINE random i love this kinda card, because it can actually give bad cards instead of the "fixed random" we saw last few HS years where "random" is almost always good.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Fun flavorful card. Probably best in arena were generating cards outside your deck is stronger. 

    Still we'll see what spells end up in standard. Could prove useful in warrior or with the Augmerchants.

    Mostly just a fun call back. Zugzug!

    Doesn't sound super great. It could be a spell of any cost, so you might not even be able to play it for several turns. You should be able to get 2 spells from it with Shadowstep. If we still have Shadowstep.

    Peon looks miserable when compared to a card like Wandmaker as the latter's spell generation is self-contained and more consistent with the limited pool of spells to draw from. Having to spend resources in addition to Peon only to get one random spell feels awful. Even Mage with their ping doesn't save Peon from pack filler status.

    Less =/= None.

    They can do less and still have card generation.

    Like instead of say 20 card sin expac being card geenration there  are only 5. 

    He never said they would STOP doing, just less.

    I'm also disappointed, Caro, that we're seeing spell generation here, especially through a Neutral. The bright side though is we don't have any mana cheating so it has that going for it.

    It will be very interesting to see how this looks once we've got a full view of the spells that will be available in Forged in the Barrens. For now, I'm just not interested.

    Flavor is going to be top-notch though as seen in the card's actual flavor text:

    To activate Frenzy the minion must survive damage.  Cards like this and the Hunter raptor card could be great, but yeah... if you don't draw them early then you have much less chance to activate the effect because your opponent may have a spell or minion to kill it straight up and deny the effect

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    It's good if you can trigger the Frenzy reliably without having to ping your own minion. I think Wild has more consistent 2-drops, though, including minions you would rather play alongside Animated Broomstick. I think people will experiment with this one, but I don't think it will stick around in the Wild meta.

    Probably something along the lines that the player gave the Peon a task to find a spell, naturally they would search something that the player would "know" how to cast. Idk.

    More likely it's just for gameplay reasons: the pool is a bit more limited this way, and it's analogous to Wandmaker now.

    Much nostalgia as Peon finally becomes a card! Too bad it's just a worse Wandmaker. Frenzy is awkward at 3 health unless you're able to trigger it on the same turn.

    It seems like Peon is probably outclassed by Wandmaker. In the early game you have decent odds of triggering this frenzy, but it will be hard to do later, and in the early game you'd almost always prefer getting a random 1-drop spell over a random spell because you can utilize it sooner. But, with so many cards rotating, maybe the pool of random spells will be really good for one or more classes, and maybe the pool of great 1-drop spells will decrease, helping Peon to edge out Wandmaker.

    Well that's quite a boring card name.

    Wandmaker seems to be quite a bit better for now, although Wandmaker will rotate out first, so maybe this will replace it when it does? Kinda doesn't seem so though.

    I guess the biggest question is: what is better, this card's ability or River Crocolisk's beast tag?

    Sadly, this also feels like pack filler. 3 damage is easy to deal at once, and the pay-off isn't enough to put it in your deck for. Just play Wandmaker.

    I can imagine a Trolden clip that a player messes up the trade and gives the opponent a powerful spell. Other than that, a usual common card that introduces a new mechanic.

    Everyone is comparing this to wandmaker but I think that this card will be run along side wandmaker as opposed to against it. Both generate cards for cheap with a body, so I expect to see both in a tempo deck.

    I think the 3 health threshold is to easy to remove, so unless you're damaging this yourself the turn you play it, it's not generating much value.

    It is a decent early game minion. Ok stats for the cost and will sometimes give you value from either a favorable trade or a decent spell generation.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    I mean, glad to see the Peon here. Not so glad about the card itself; it seems more like a solid arena card. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    No, because minion has to survive to trigger frenzy.

    More often than not you will probably be getting a spell that doesn't function well with your deck. It would be better if it discovered a spell instead.

    Tbh not too optimistic for this it seems unlikely to trigger its effect unless it gets a rush trigger... But wandmaker seems better given its predictability, and in spite of the rotation there still are not so useful spells around for each class

    Man really appreciating your insights on these cards. I find myself agreeing with most of your analysis. This one included. Yes the ease of activating frenzy is the key. The frenzy cards paired with rush are the ones I see being played most often.

    Too random to see play.

    It's definitely not too random to see play. If Peon read "Battlecry: Add a random spell from your class to your hand" it would be very playable in value-oriented decks. The fact that he has to survive damage to get the spell is the real challenge here.

    I'm sure a river crocolisk that gives you a spell will see play. 

    Even if not in constructed, will be good in arena

    Too bad this is just a River Crocolisk that never gives you a spell unless you sink additional resources into it.

    And Peon isn't even a Beast, so River Croc is actually better in many cases.

    This is a surprisingly good early-game card. Although it's always better to draw from your own deck, random spells are hardly ever unwelcome. Combined with a 2/3 body for (2)... Yeah, this'll see play, in a deck or two of mine at the very least :P

    Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.

    This could be true if there were still going to be Highlander payoff cards in the Standard format. Today, all of those cards in standard come from Saviors of Uldum and Descent of Dragons, both of which will be rotating out, making Highlander styles of play way less attractive. There's still plenty of highlander in Wild, but Peon almost certainly gets outclassed in the Wild format.

    (Technically it's possible that Highlander cards could come back in another set this year, but I think Team 5 has said they like to only do those once every couple of years to keep them from being omnipresent in the meta.)

    I would like this card so much more if it was a 1-cost minion, so it can be first thing you play in the game (like in wc3). And the effect for example, 1/ body, at the end of your turn, add a Coin to your hand (mining gold so you can kickstart your gameplan). Frenzy and scrolls just feel strange to go with peons.

    Sorry for this late night random thought, just felt like sharing it somewhere to get it off my mind.
