    as with the other ones, great for Arena, but that's about it.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    taunt warrior is still supported in standard so maybe it could have a remote chance of tier 3.

    maybe. this is a big card they could buff.then play and then have something else to buff.

    Yeah probably only gonna be good for arena, but the flavor is pretty funny altogether

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Good in arena, might be a consideration in standard.  Decent in Taunt warrior and might have an application in deathrattle decks, but its still pretty slow.

    I think we've passed the point of every taunt with deathrattle being a consideration for n'zoth decks now, but his one is remarkably ok. I think that this won't see super widespread play, but greedy reno decks can likely make use of this card as one of the biggest deathrattle taunts available.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    Good arena card, probably too slow for constructed though. I really like the flavor of these "ghost" guys showing the spooky necromancy stuff that is happening amidst the "common" stuff in Scholomance.

    6 mana 5/7 Taunt is actually not bad. I remember people playing Dark Arakkoa even in decks without C'Thun because it was just that good at the time. Deathrattle decks might be able to make good use of it.

    Maybe too costly? but ignoring the stealth one that could be used in rogue this could be the best of the "ghost" cards.

    Smug in life, smug at death.

    Pretty nice taunt for 6. But in hearthstone constructed you have to be more than just pretty nice to make the cut.

    Unfortunately, this is just decent. Average. Nothing more nothing less.

    Well ... good for arena but standard im not so sure - decent Taunt but i think there are better options out there.

    Looks like filler card to me.

    Not bad value but very slow. You will still need to pay 6 mana to replay the ghost.

    Will only see play in highly specialized decks in standard.

    Since you have to play the ghost again makes it really awkward and i think not worth your mana.

    Just a arena card. The only other time this might see play is in WILD Fire Plume's Heart Warrior (Even costed, so not the ODD version), they will probably play this because their 2 taunts in 1. And the deathrattle gives a taunt to your hand, unlike Direhorn Hatchling which shuffles it into your deck.

    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.

    Do we know what the ghost will cost? These ghost cards are weaker because they add the drop to your hand instead of leaving it on the board. Their cost will effect how good they are.

    I might put this in a Hadronox/N'zoth Druid deck.

    Better call Thrall!

    Another pack-filler. Nothing special.

    As Quest warrior back in the Year of the Raven I would have loved to have a Taunt generating card like this. But right now - I will pass even if I ever go play wild.

    I was also thinking of the random (6) drops pool that just got a little more satisfying, because of ghosts

    5/7 taunt for 6 mana is pretty good, other taunts around this mana level are somewhere between 3/4 (khartut defender) and 4/8 (emerald Explorer).

    What sets this minion apart from other deathrattle taunts is that instead of leaving another body behind it adds the minion to your hand.

    This can be a downside and an upside -

    The downside is you'll have to spend the 6 mana again to play this minion a second time.

    The Upside is you'll have another taunt minion to play if your opponent had to use minions or a weapon to attack it. Another upside is the taunt package Warriors received in Saviors of Ulduum, Into the Fray and Armegadillo make this already good statted minion into an impressive 7/9 for 6 mana, which is difficult for aggressive boards to push through without trading their board into it.

    Stats make it a good choice for Arena, also. I feel this minion will find a home in the ladder once scholomance officially launches

    This one seems like pack filler and the worst of the ‘ghost’ minions. Decent in arena though.

    The ghost should come into play when it dies, not to your hand

    Not worth playing over Khar'tut Defender, but great in arena.

    This might work... in some slower decks?

    Probably not, but Boulderfist Ogre with Taunt and Deathrattle "add another Ogre to your hand" seems playable.

    This will likely be a great budget card to fill out expensive decks for new/FTP players, but I don't think it will make the cut in pro lists.

    This card is so slow. Just run Khartut Defender for the 2 more immediate bodies and healing instead.

    X/Y minion, deathrattle: summon X/Y minion. We are seeing a lot of those, with very little variance. Total pack filler, lazy design, but every set need some of those I guess.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    But looks like garbage.

    First thing that comes to mind is two taunts for one card that could be used in quest warrior.

    Yay weird trilogy of ghost cards! This is probably not very good outside Arena, unlike the other two which I can see more potential in. Still, fantastic theming on it.

    A decent arena card, but nothing special honestly.
