This card has the same requirement as Nethrandamus as in, it needs to be sitting in your hand for a long time to gain any value, so top decking this is automatically bad, but not as bad as the dragon, and the taunt will be welcomed if you taking heavy pressure
I said this before when the card was initially released, this effect doesn't deserve to be on a legendary and this is probably the worst legendary of the lot.
I honestly think ppl will try out the spell damage decks purely due to this card. And also coz Blizz changed both Shaman and Mage deck recipes to be spell damage orientated xD
Funny how you say that. I tried to make quest shaman work the other day in a more control style deck with Swampqueen Hagatha. I got to silver 5 then switched back to meta decks :( feelsBadMan
What happened to the deck recipe play mode in the fireside gatherings? I remember it was present along with the no cards barred play mode. This way, you can play the new deck recipes with the new cards from SA without having to open them in packs.
So Ancient Void Hound and Rattlegore would typically fit in control style decks, which means you can always try bait out Zephrys first with your other big minions or force your opponent to play him proactively coz you keep clearing the board. (As a control warrior can do). Seeing as Zephrys has been in the game for so long, it's easier to identify highlander decks and only play the mentioned cards when your opponent runs out of resources. But this is all theoretical ofc :D both these cards won't see play if there's an aggro/tempo meta, we know that much.
Would you still need Ysiel Windsinger if you have this card? The combo would prob work better without Ysiel, but I'm sure there would be some insane overkill damage if you order these plays correctly with Malygos + damage spells.
Hope combo druid is back, miss that archetype since togwaggle druid
Another thing pointing to Demon Hunter being based around being a straight out aggro style class since development.
that's not completely true. The devs said that DH was designed as a class that constantly pressures you, but quickly runs out of rescources later in the game due the lack of card generation. But the class can achive that in more ways than just aggro.
Big DH for example can pressure you early by cheating out big deamons starting on turn 5. Some of the alternative HP also supported that slower playstyle like "2 mana deal 2 damage to a minion and your hero"(removed because it was to frustrating to play against) and "2 mana gain +1 attack, can be used twice each turn"(removed because most of the time it was just a worse druid HP)
Big DH isn't successful atm even though Team 5 tried to push it, purely due to the hero power. It's the same reason why we've never seen an aggro Priest or control hunter (not counting highlander hunter as control). The class hero power greatly dictates the play style and possible archetypes for the class. The other reason why DH is so OP is coz their "weaknesses and limitations" aren't really seen that way. Card draw trumps card generation every time, except when in fatigue and due to DH's most successful archetypes, they end games before fatigue.
It must be said: HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?
Maybe this card is played in a super control Priest or something, but I don't see it having too much value, except off a random evolve/devolve.
If the deck with Steeldancer and Self-Sharpening Sword is effective, this is an auto include

Do we find out how he ended up on Argus?
Mediocre effect, but not terrible, might see play, it's a 50/50.
I need one of these golden. My new fav weapon :D keen to play it
just look at that sexy art

2 months later: Infiltrator Lilian is a must craft in a tier 1 deck xD

So ghosts can be murlocs but not beasts?
Pitty they wasted Spellburst on a pack filler, but shaman won't be sad when he evolved into this at least
This card is good for two things, combo disruption and trolling.
I'll comment here. Thanks Flux and co for all the site improvements, especially the new and simplified card search page: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?collectible=yes
This page also helps with tracking remaining card discussions as previously mentioned. Keep up the good work, it is getting noticed!

I instantly laughed at this flavor text and still laughing inside. So many of my work colleagues love python and here I am writing in C# xD

nope they won't, but it may still be played at 7 mana or pulled from Pit Commander
