What is the cost of the 1/3 minion? If it’s 3 then it’s a pretty good card for evolve shaman.
It costs 3, I added it above.
This may be one of the most underrated cards seen in this expansion.
My reasoning for this? Knight of the Wild. He may not be anywhere near as good as Thing from Below, what with the “Has to be in your hand” thing, but draw into a Knight early enough, and this little spider dude stacks some serious value onto that willy Khan.
I mean a 1/3 is pretty much worth 1 mana so 2 for 3 mana is a little overpriced, 1 attack can’t really trade that well with other minions, mostly in the 3 mana catagory itself, knight of the wild doesn’t gain nearly enough value for the tempo-loss and you are completely screwed if you don’t draw knight of the wild before turn 3 because if you play knight of the wild later in the game EVEN if its cheap it won’t be as effective as playing a good body early game.
but ey its always worth trying
Maybe good for druid decks?
8 stats for 3 mana is pretty respectable…except they distributed it the absolutely worse way I can think of. I guess two 0/4 or four 0/2 would be worse. Two 3/1 would probably be better except ravaging ghoul is currently in like 40% of decks (probably only a slight exaggeration). Same with a 7/1, might be good for cheese if ghoul wasn’t a thing.
It’s printing primarily is a troll to faceless summoner and ram wrangler. Or maybe it’s a nerf to Medivh. I’m surprised it was printed alongside a terrible priest portal at 3 for the double troll.
Zoobot value?
This is literally the worst card I have ever seen, unless I am missing something. This is like priest level bad.
Best thing I can think from this card is the beast tag
It looks bad at first, it really does, but just think about it for a second.
2/6 in stats for 3 mana actually makes it better than the Carrion grub in many scenarios. It has more synergy with Hunter’s mark, Dire Wolf Alpha, Call of the Wild, and probably has a higher chance to get houndmastered. It is great against zoo and overall a solid card in midrange hunter, but it could also see play in combo druid and Evolve Shaman (the 1/3 it summons is also worth 3 mana so when playing evolve you get two 4 drops).
Purify is about to exist and you complain about this? Its 2/6 for 3, that’s pretty decent stats
2 1/3 minions can’t trade with pretty much anything in the 3 mana slot and not even with all 2 mana minions, but you’re right, purify is worse
