Yeah, it's 9 mana. But playing this on turn 6 with Vanndar Stormpike is insane, but that means you have to draw Vanndar first.
9 mana lmao.
Probably not good, mostly because of its cost. 9 mana is basically the same level as Nzoth, and Nzoth this aint. Fact is you'd have to survive all the way to turn 9, not draw your big beasts until turn 9, and then your pay off is basically the same level as a slightly better Guardian Animals. Unless there's like big beasts about, and I mean really big - somewhere around the lines of Charged Devilsaur - this card will only ever be in the sidelines dreaming of what it could have been.
King Krush would be nice with this out, but its similarly costed and that's only one card. You need many more before we start seeing a semblance of the old big beasts deathrattle hunter.
They don't have to be big beasts. They just have to be capable of killing. Pack your deck with Poisonous beasts, and this is a board clear even if you don't manage to pull Krush with it. It's Basilisk's time to shine!
Im pretty certain that you cant build this around small minions even if they do have poisonous, simply because its a 9 mana card and the last thing you need is a small fry out on 9 in case your opponent has no minions.
To me, this, along with the new card Revive Pet, is a clear indication that team5 are pushing hunter towards bigger beasts. That's not to say it can't work as you say. The dream would be to full clear and thin down your deck from all the small minions that aren't good cards in the late game, followed by a finish with king krush. But I think its more realistic to expect this to draw something like Imported Tarantula, clear board and summon Teacher's Pet on 9.
And you consider that bad? An enemy board clear that adds two solid minions to your side? You have some high standards, sir.
Its a 9 mana card, in hunter. If its not ending games the same way Kathrena Winterwisp did, my eyebrow would remain raised.
But like all cards in the reveal season, until we see all the cards we wont know how good each individual card is. This one definitely needs some support to see play, at the moment.
9 mana? Way to slow... And it gets worse the fewer minions the opponent has. I'll get a consistently better board with N'zoth.
I'm curious if there will some kind of bug when a recruited Charge minion receives Rush, through this card.
I call dibs on it 😁😆
literally impossible for rush to "overwrite" charge, based on the definitions of charge and rush.
9 mana haha
Wait... didn't they skip the Xyrella hero card's reveal?
Yep, they did. They also removed the card from the schedule on their site.
Might be the WSJ article fallout
what big beasts do we have in standard that are worth running?
Hail to the King Krush baby
Also the Tarantulas which have Tradeable
So it appears that Tavish Stormpike support is finally coming this expansion.
12 mana combo? yeah right...
Support doesn't necessarily mean both cards are going to be played on the same turn.
Just use the Druid hero :^)
