    Crazy good. Remember how rock-solid Arcanologist was? This is like that, but neutral, and never runs out of cards to draw. If the quests are good enough to play, this will be a two-of in every one. And hell, if the quests AREN’T good enough to play, this might singlehandedly put them into playability range.

    1. Taznak

      This is not as good as Arcanologist because it doesn't tutor a card: turn 2 Arcanologist into turn 3 Kirin Tor Mage + zero mana Secret was massive, whereas this usually won't draw you something to fill out your mana curve. This never runs out of cards to play, but the battlecry doesn't work if you play this after you already completed your quest. Still amazing though.

      I think that's what's going on here. Blizzard doesn't generally like must-includes, so for this to be in here, I'm guessing they found most Quest decks underpowered in testing and decided rather than tweak them individually, they'd put in a card that gives them an obvious buff across the board.

      1. ASonofThoth

        I’m not that sure it is an obvious buff, specially if you draw after doing the mission.

  2. NIGHTxBLADE

    What can i say 10/5 lol

    Really, if you're playing a Quest deck, there's no reason not to play Questing Explorer.

    The only real issue with it is, after you complete the quest, it does become the worst card in your deck quite often.

    1. Tuscarora87

      That's a good point, but I think this card's benefit is so obvious that it'll be an auto-inclusion.

      1. Soup And Salad

        Yeah. There's still no reason not to play it.

    2. Lluadian

      Hell even if you finish the quest it still isn't bad since it has vanilla stats of a card with no power. Basically a river crocolisk with conditional power instead of a tribe.

      1. Soup And Salad

        A two mana 2/3 with no effect is absolutely god awful past turn four. It will become the worst card in your deck especially when you top deck it after the Control Warrior dropped a Brawl the previous turn.

        1. Lluadian

          If you think of this as played with druid which is atm the most likely to use the quest reward can allow both spell effects if your fields empty a decent 2 drop can be a good target for something like Mark if need a quick taunt and board swarm.

          1. Soup And Salad

            Or I can just play Dreamway Guardians and get healing with that Taunt or twice the number of minions on board.

          2. Lluadian

            That would have to imply you had dreamway in your hand the thing is there's no telling what could be in your hand and when so trying to say alternative plays excluding this card is pointless. Most likely if you had dreamway you it would have been played already. But also considering this is a CHEAP cost minion it isn't so hard to get it out of your hand for crystal song portal to get full value.

  4. Jed

    Probably will be good in quest decks, especially warlock (for obvious reasons)

  5. EksSkellybur

    You get a Hydroilgist, You get a Hydroligist, EVERYONE GETS A HYDROLIGIST!

  6. SlapLaB

    Whatever everybody said.

    Plus, she’s cute.

  7. laouarem

    Amazing card for Quest Decks, 5/5

  8. Taznak

    Auto-include if you're playing your Quest. 5/5

  9. JustYourAveragePayToWin

    Definitely strong, it’s a better stat line and more proactive that Loot Hoarder. 5/5

  10. essexmcintosh

    Unlike everybody else, I don't think this goes in every quest deck. Both druid quests are dreadful with this. But it goes in the best deck in wild... not like that means anything...
    5/5

  11. LuKeAA

    Wild Quest Rogue support.

    I mean, the ... old Quest I mean previously completed quest I mean Quest everybody hated.

    ???Good/5.

    1. NIGHTxBLADE

      Although quest rogue in wild is DEAD but man you are a brainstorm peRson !! :)

  12. UnkarsThug

    With more of these style cards(Which I bet we'll get), could you have a deck where you don't care about actually completing the quests, but just generate value off of it, and let it complete itself, with the druid quest for exanple.

  13. Lluadian

    You'd be an idiot not to auto include this if your running a quest it basically gives you tempo back since this card will replace itself in the hand meaning a possible Hand deck running quests would be able to maintain size and still put out on the board.

  14. luca

    Obviously an auto-include in any quest deck. Since there will be 9 quests, this card will see a lot of play. There will probably be at least 2 quests deck in tier 2>.
    5/5

  15. GlosuuLang

    This should have been available the last time Quests were around. You effectively start the game with one card less because of Quest, so getting it back is much appreciated. Let's hope it makes all Quests playable.

  16. ReliusRemyRezar

    Considering the actual pool of quests, the one running this will be druid and warlock, druid because you are not into a real rush to finish the quest so you can get the value if this is drawn later on, and warlock because that quest is so stupid and hard to fulfill that you will need this.

  17. ZerefZepher

    If you're playing a quest, run 2 of this card. If you're playing a quest and can only build singleton, still run this card. 5/5
