Meme.
Came to post this
I look at this and It’s just a better and bigger Envoy of Lazul, becuase your opponent sees it as a soft taunt. Don’t play this whenever they have albatross in their deck. I know at least person is going to do that.
If you can cheat Albaster than it’s Super Benefical. So Druids, Consider if your not going to make a Big Minion Druid.
Getting 1 copy is depending, but getting more than 1 is already beneficial.
4 Stars, but potentially 5 Stars for Druid.
It’ll be more amusing in wild with cards that make your opponent draw. It also may see some use in aggroish decks that run their decks out.
i think this a meme and will not see meta play. might be a tech in a slow meta or maybe in ramp druid
Omg seems extremely annoying if u can’t deal with it immediately.
We are getting some cool neutral legendaries.
Wild Druid with naturalise likes this.
funny concept
rogue should be happy?
OMG I love this card. It’s not broken, there is no deck in which you could call it an “auto-include” and yet the fun potential is tremendous! 4/5 stars
Meh, this expansion seems super underwhelming to me at this point. Yet another meme legendary…
We need 6 underwhelming expansions in a row and we get a standard meta without broken fate-decider cards that can swing the whole game on their own. Sounds good
True, better than another OP expansion that warps the meta once again.
A very fun card for sure. Power level is alright, definitely good stats for the ability. Scariest in Res Priest, but any Greedy Grindy control deck will be tempted to run this, assuming they aren’t too scared of aggro.
Why would res priest want this? Isn’t adding unpredictable minions to their res pool a hard counter?
This is great for classes with a lack of card draw that are usually empty-handed, like Hunter or Paladin. Getting a decent 1 Mana card is great for everyone and I think this will be found in a variety of decks that can a) make it to 7 Mana (Aggro DH/Hunter or Murloc decks struggle) and b) dont have a full hand at all times (Rogue and Priest for example).
You pay 7 mana for 6/8 body and a random card from your opponent deck.
Also:
[+] Card you get costs (1).
[+] It’s a card they now have on hand, so you can play around it in later turns.
[+] Can trigger more than once, if your enemy can’t remove it or needs to draw a card.
[?] Also counters Lorekeeper Polkelt.
[?] It has a highroll potencial, for example (1) mana galakrond or plague of death.
[-] Your opponent knows what card you get.
Final rating: Fun and Interactive 5/5.
Playable in any non-aggro deck, if there is a control deck in the meta.
nice review i enjoyed reading it!
This + Octasari, I don’t care if it’s memes and dreams I need it to happen.
As for the actual review of this card. The stats are 6/8 so very hard to remove with and you always get at least one card which is pretty insane! 4.5/5
Haha yeah, the difficult is getting your opponent to have Octosari, can any other class then warlock give opponents cards? Otherwise it is up to warlock to pull it off. xD
Perfect to combo with Coldlight Oracle… If you have an almost empty hand.
If a new type of demon hunter shows up in wild though they could find a way to combo glide with it….
This seems even better in wild than standard ????
Mmm, this seems like it would me good if you randomly summoned it. But would ever include it?
I think you would include it in Highlander but nothing else
You are pretty much guaranteed to get at least one card from it as well as knowledge of what’s in your opponent’s hand. It’s a 6/8 soft taunt since the opponent must remove it asap. The fact that this isn’t 8 mana is pretty ridiculous actually, I think most value decks are more than happy to include this.
Yeah, you might be right. Highlander mage would rather siamat though because it can remove stuff.
It could work in Resurrect priest. Embiggen druid would be cool but you kinda need taunts and the rush elusive dragon.
Some kind of control paladin might become a thing?
