Trash card. It would be decent if you could summon like Highmanes with this but you can’t and if you run beasts, chances are you wanna run more than the ~5 mana good ones.

The hunter druid dual class card can give the beasts in your deck +1/+1 but that doesn’t really do much when you’re spending 7 mana to maybe hit the right beasts. Perharps we’ll get some good 5 mana beast to go with this but I still don’t know how this card could ever work.

How do you play Omu (6 mana) and follow it with Runic carvings (6 mana)?

The spellburst limits what you can do once you play Omu so you can’t play him and then play the thunderbloom or wtv to gain 2 mana to cast more things for example. It’s actually something that balances this card pretty nicely.

Sadly Spellburst will trigger before the copy happens so you’ll just end up with another Omu without spellburst.

Are you sure DH struggles as a control deck now? It gets soul fragments and two 3 damage Aoe things and it already had quite a few control tools just not enough to make anything out of it. I would argue that DH has as much if not more control stuff than most classes. Not to mention big threat cards to go with it all. Compared to something like big Paladin, DH is way more well suited for it now which is pretty sad considering how many times they’ve pushed it for Paladin.

This ability would be a neat idea with a lower cost minion but as a big slow 9 drop it loses quite alot of its use and charm. Naturally this can be cheated out and it’s what DH needs for the big deck. Nice to see DH getting lots of control tools and big things rather than “yeet yeet hit face I’m so good” schenanigans.

3-4 stars I really hope big DH is a thing at some point.

Warrior getting yet another strong board clear… Of course this wouldn’t be flavor correct if it was purely Paladin card but just ugh.

The card is very good. Amazing value like Trump pointed out and it’s genuinely amazing how this card is only 3 mana. 4/5, it’s a bit tricky to kill on the turn it’s summoned.

5/4 body*

So basically at 10 mana you spend 3-4 mana to generate tokens or summon something, play this and then play one cheap spell to refresh your mana so you can play Survival of the fittest and buff everything with +4/+4. Seems very doable actually.

And in most situations it’s a “free” 5/5 body that potentially gives you like 4 extra mana on a turn. Getting this with Conjurer’s calling or an evolve effect is also hilariously busted. I love it.

4/5, very dependant on meta being slow.

I didn’t even think about that.. I really hope it works that way. But sadly the wording is suggesting otherwise.. Mainly because it says “cast a spell without specifying anything”. It casts a spell and then if it can target something it will target Alura.

Also we did see it pull plague of death before Time rip so assuming the animation is accurate as it usually is, it doesn’t priorize target spells.

Key word: could…

Paladin is much better with this but the inconsistency is pretty steep.

Welcome to highroll Hearthstone..

I like this card alot actually, even from pure stats alone it’s a nice chunky 4 mana 3/6 and with only 5 mana you have a chance to do something awesome. The biggest issue is that it’s incredibly inconsistent and limits your deckbuilding quite a bit, priest for example doesn’t want to ruin Plague of death in the deck if this is in the deck.

Paladin on the other hand has a good chance to just run buff cards but even then what if you don’t draw this..? Your deck would be really bad.

Perharps people figure out a great balance somehow and it will be a 4 mana card. I kind of doubt that thought.. So I’ll give it 2 stars. It does have potential for the future but the limiting factors are so drastic it might not quite work.

2 Sorcerer’s apprentices = 4 mana.
That reduces this by 2 so = 2 mana.
Play two Sor.appr for 1 each = 2 mana

So it’s at least 8 mana. If you wanna go crazy you can use another one of these and fill your board with sorcerer’s apprentices and then play evocation to get hand full of spells reduced by 7 😀 Didn’t even think about that. But it’s a 10 mana combo and probably more memes than anything that would actually work.

Firstly, Frozen shadoweaver is good because it comes with a nice body and it can freeze anything… This only hits minions and if you really wanna freeze minions then mage has ray of frost which is way better and Rogue can just run Frostweaver. I just don’t think this card is something Mage would run over the other options. Might see play on Rogue though.

Oh yeah, 2 stars. People seem to rate just about everything in this expansion 4-5 stars smh.

I don’t know.. The fact that this doesn’t go face and deals 0 damage unless you pair it with something really turns me off from this card. 3 damage for 1 looks great on paper but aren’t there better options for this already on both classes.

Let’s say you use this with just Mark of the wild (give +2/+2 and taunt)… For just 5 mana you get a 5/8 windfury, rush taunt minion… That’s insane not to mention the bigger spell cards you can use this with. If Druid gets a good 3 mana buff spell this can potentially be super scary.

As for Shaman even Totemic reflection makes this a 6/9 rush windfury. There are tons of possibilities. It’s a very efficient big minion for very little mana, absolutely bonkers for any tempo deck.

I believe spellburst happens first so yes and that’s genuinely amazing… Four 8/12 with rush and windfury for 10 mana lol.

There will certainly be some insane interractions with this card. You can even get 4 sorcerer’s apprentices on the field for 8 mana, that alone with Evocation can be pretty insane. Even if this card doesn’t break the game now it has potential to do so with every single mage, rogue and neutral card from now on and that being said it’s very powerful.

Easy 5 stars, even if it doesn’t make splash right away.

It’s becoming very clear at this point that silence/polymorph/evolve mechanics are going to be used alot cause there’s so many things that are countered by it.

That being said I have a feeling this will be taken out of most decks eventually. But it’s a very solid 4 star card I think.

Explosive trap most certainly works but I don’t think anyone in their right mind would attack the hero instead of Professor Slate if there’s a secret up.

I’m fairly certain we get at least one good damage spell that targets minions specifically to go with this, it’s true that there aren’t that many good spells to go with this atm but I don’t even think it needs much more than two rapid fires, it’s just that good.
