I find this really upsetting. The legend card back used to be something to be proud of, and just this one month has really cheapened that.

Risky Skipper is a pirate. Check it out in your collection. It was errata’d after it was spoiled.

*Virtually* a strictly superior Cult Sorcerer, which was played in non-C’thun decks because it was just a solid card. If there ends up being a tempo mage deck in standard, I’m sure this’ll be in it.

It remains to be seen exactly how good, on average, the 8-drop pool will be following rotation and the release of this set. But as long as it isn’t abysmal, this seems pretty solid.

Its stats are promising, at the very least.

Your review of Frizz Kindleroost seems to imply that dragons in your hand are also discounted. If you have two 6-cost dragons in hand, you won’t be able to play them both on t8 after playing Frizz, since only dragons still in your deck will be discounted.

Still an extremely powerful card, just wanted to point that out.

It seems likely that Sanctuary has to “see” an ENTIRE turn (that is, it has to see the turn start and then end) where you don’t take damage to trigger. Otherwise, it’d literally just be a 2 mana 3/6 that happens to proc Counterspell.

Definitely could put non-Mage control decks in a pickle in the early game. I think the speed of the meta will probably have a significant impact on this card’s playability. I suppose it has synergy with Time Out! but that seems a little too cute to be worthwhile.

Been waiting since 2016. Handlock was the second deck I ever crafted (after Oil Rogue). Evenlock couldn’t satisfy the craving.

I bet Sprint is feeling pretty bad about itself right about now.

Regardless of its playability (which I do think is high) this is a really excellent exploration of design space, and I really like it.

It will summon a minion with a cost equal to whatever Prismatic Lens changed the spell’s cost to.

For reference:
-Spirit of the Frog will draw you a 1-cost spell if you cast a Feral Spirits that has been discounted by Haunting Visions.
-Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian, will summon a 3-cost minion if you cast Fireball with a Sorcerer’s Apprentice in play.

I chuckled in a bathroom stall at work reading this. If I end up socially ostracized, it’s your fault. 😛

Army-in-a-can cards are rarely bad, and this doesn’t require much deckbuilding contortion to be good. 4/5

I agree that this card is worse than frost nova if you’re not somehow exploiting the fact that this is a minion. With nova, you have a guarantee that your opponent’s minions won’t attack next turn (unless they somehow all get silenced). This card is soft to removal and thus is significantly less reliable.

Non-legend rarity is typically determined based on a card’s complexity and versatility, not its power.

Frost Nova is in literally every mage deck right now. I’m not saying this card is a frost nova, but it’s worth noting that the card is played in a t1 deck.

This is correct. Abilities trigger in timestamp order, just like secrets and deathrattles.

Reborn minions can be healed. They come back with 1 health remaining, not with their base health set to 1.
