So, if you are playing a Reno Jackson list in Wild, luck out and have this and Brann Bronzebeard on turn 10, you can do 16 face damage? Seems like a one-in-a-million shot.
I think a 7 mana King Krush plus a 2/4 is something to be considered, even if you whiff the Brann Bronzebeard when playing a highlander deck. Yes Hunter doesn't have the highlander support that the Kabal (Warlock, Priest, Mage) classes got in Mean Streets. However any Reno Hunter will be playing this certainly. Standard does need a stronger build around card for any highlander stuff to be played. In wild, however, I'd bet we see some Reno Hunter for sure post launch.
Really like this card. It's got okay stats for midgame. An effect that just hitting one or two minions is strong (especially a Zilliax or Bronze Gatekeeper of a Boom) and repeats each turn. This make the card a good addition to Warrior. It won't bring Taunt warrior back by it's self but it won't take much but 1 or 2 strong taunt minions in a deck to make this a strong card.
I think overall handbuff cards are under rated or people try to be too greedy with them. Just hitting 2 cards is a free Blessing of Kings. Yes you can whiff with handbuff cards. However I wouldn't be dissapointed to play a 6 mana 4/7 taunt sometimes.
I like this card. As others said Dyn-o-matic effect x2 or Meteorologist that can't go face. I think that makes it good enough. Just like with the other heroic legends of the set it's not a build around. However this card seems like it would go into a highlander mage. So wild is set but standard needs a good build around for these decks to come together.
Weird card. Not sure what to make of it. I like the flavor, improving on Sir Finley Mrrgglton. The effect however isn't worth a build around on it's own. Would be good in aggro but as others said Highland and aggro don't mix. We'll have to see what else comes out.
Trying to think of wild applications too but even then if I want a highlander deck I think I pass on this.
Seems not worth to me.. if you want duplicates of stuff why run a highlander deck?
I think you are looking at this backwards.
In a highlander pay off deck aren't there cards you want two of?
When I build highlander decks I often run Zola the Gorgon or Baleful Banker or the like to get multiple Reno Jackson or Kazakus (for Kabal classes) minions into my hand/deck. So This I can see this card being quite useful. However this card is less of a build around than Reno. This is a card you definitely add to your Reno deck but I don't see decks being built as highlander just for this. I'd want to see another strong build around card, hopefully in neutral, to bring all these cards together in standard.
All that said I do love this card. Simple design with a fun effect.
Only opened about 15 - 20 packs. Didn't count but didn't save heavily either.
