The Azerite Hawk (Legendary Excavate Treasure) Additional Information
THIS IS NOT A COLLECTIBLE CARD! You can’t put it into your deck. The only way to get it is through the new Excavate keyword. You can learn more about it with our Excavate mechanic guide.
I don’t think this is well-designed. I see they wanted big, flashy effects for that minion cycle, but why give Mage access to random non-Mage Titans? Many don’t really fit in Mage’s playstyle, and why the flavor mashup? Ok, you’ll have Titans and the “cowboy set” in Standard together anyway, but a card that generates Titan cards IN the cowboy set? Also, I think it’s increasingly problematic to design Legendaries that give access to off-class cards. The Countess, for example, was honestly not a Paladin card, even though she uses the “pure deck mechanic”.
Azerite is titan blood, it makes booms bigger, spells stronger, gear greater, and apparently now makes other titans. At least they are the same rotation so that mage cannot make titans after other classes lose them. Priest can and does steal good titans and so does any class that runs the Yogg or the rush dude that steals stuff.
For mage players, this card is complete garbage!
