Standard Decks To Try Out Before the Year of the Raven Standard Rotation
I’m not encouraging anyone to actually craft those decks – I mean that if you already have the cards, and you only play Standard, you should test those decks out before they rotate out. Because a week from now (yeah, it’s that close already) you will no longer be able to, at least not in the current form!
Countess Ashmore
You’re right about Ashmore not drawing DK’s. You’re wrong about pulling Elementals after you play Jaina.
Jaina’s aura works on the minions on the board, not in your deck, so that Blazecaller or Baron Geddon in your deck still don’t have Lifesteal.
Countess Ashmore
That’s a really good question. I will say that it should. It checks for Lifesteal minions, see that you have Statue in your deck and target it for drawing, then it will again check for the Deathrattle minions, see that you have another Statue in your deck (Deathrattle) and also target it from drawing.
That would be the logical outcome.
That said, it won’t work unless both Statues are still in your deck, so it’s not very consistent, but might matter sometimes.
Countess Ashmore
No, it won’t draw DK Jaina.
Frost Lich Jaina does not have Lifesteal. It gives a Lifesteal aura. Those are two different concepts.
Splitting Festeroot
If you play a Deathrattle Priest, the chances are that your Quest is already done by Turn 8.
Countess Ashmore
No, Houndmaster Shaw gives other cards Rush, but it doesn’t have Rush. So it wouldn’t be drawn with it.
Countess Ashmore
It does not. The card GIVES Lifesteal, but doesn’t have Lifesteal itself.
I’m not sure about Kingsbane after you give it Lifesteal and shuffle back into your deck. It depends on whether it looks at the base copy of the card or counts the buffs too.
Countess Ashmore
Why, though? It’s not much better than Curator, and while Curator is a good card, it has seen play only in a few decks over the ~1.5 years it was in Standard.
It looks like a strong card, but it definitely won’t be played in every deck.
And I’m 100% sure that it draws up to 3 cards.
Countess Ashmore
There should be no reason not to, since it doesn’t specify what kind of card it draws. If it was “draw X, Y and Z minion”, then it would be a different story.
Countess Ashmore
It wasn’t an official translation, we always update it when one gets released. We just updated this one.
Early translations are not always 100% correct grammatically, but they should at least be understandable ๐ We feel like getting the card out quickly so you can see it right away is more important than making the text box look clear.

Worgen Abomination
End of Turn effects trigger based on the order. So if Dreadlord was on the board first, it will trigger and then this will also shoot all of those minions for 2. If you play this first and then Dreadlord, it won’t work.
The Glass Knight
Cobalt Guardian is a significantly worse card. Not having Divine Shield right away means that it just dies unless you combo it with a Mech immediately, and Mechs were a much harsher condition than healing. Paladin has lots of good healing cards, and had only two good Mechs (2x Shielded Minibot).

I know, I really like her too.
And to be fair, she’s not the WORST card ever, you probably could play her as a value tool in an otherwise meta Control Mage. It wouldn’t be a good choice, but it would be fun ๐
Lesson learned, at least ๐
