Does this set the attack and health to 3 before it hits the minion? If not it’s trash.. If yes I love the desing and it’s so perfect for Paladin and it’s an awesome card, really nice fit to just about any non-aggro Paladin deck.

There’s no way that could ever work competitively, it’s a combo beyond memes and if you spend like 10 mana just to maybe get 5 spell damage and then hit for 5 once it’s not even worth it, you might as well just play the Master duelist and spam spells and the result is more or less the same with much less effort.

Oh look it’s the new League of Legends champion!

This card is pretty bad except for quest shaman. 2 stars.

Nvm it doesn’t hit own things. Either way.. Not enough sources for spell damage. I don’t see this card being worth all the trouble.

How do you get spell damage without having minions that give it? This card will just kill all that… Absolute trash.

Unless there is a new spell that gives spell damage to Ras itself on top of the 1 mana minion… or a permanent spell damage passive or something.. Big oof.

2/5 at least you can deal 1 damage to all enemies like once or something. Yay…….

Are you sure? Doesn’t the battlecry simply define what the deathrattle will be? So let’s say you play a chromatic egg and get Deathwing, it dies and summons Deathwing cause the deathrattle says “summon Deathwing”

Then you play Vectus and it gains the same deathrattle, simple as that. I think you’re confusing it with the fact that Chromatic egg doesn’t do anything if it’s cheated out or evolved into for example.

Shhhh don’t tell him, he’ll try it out and go 😮 when he just heals for 6.. xD

This is a really good card for highlander decks that run like one or two powerful deathrattles. Or lepergnome styled hyper aggressive hunter decks..

The fact alone that this is a 5 mana 6/6 with ahuge potential upside says it all, it’s a powerful card and get more and more powerful as new deathrattle cards are released. I dare say 5/5.

Wait what is this a neutral legendary weapon?

Hearthstone is finally getting a scrying effect, this is pretty awesome! Rule of thumb is that effects like these are always good even if they’re not that noticeable. I’m not sure how significant this is for Hearthstone though, do you want to spend one space in your deck for this? Aside from combo decks probably not.

Very interesting card and finally a card with strong effect that doesn’t cost 7+ to use.

No idea how exactly people will abuse this but this will certainly create some game breaking combo at one point.

I guess at this point the identity is supposed to be jack-of-all traits… But considering how well the class does all things it hardly seems legit. Ugh

What is taunt at this point..

Blizzard: So I don’t think people quite hate Demon hunter enough, what should we do?

Blizzard later: Makes cards that now mess up an opponent’s hand without any counterplay to prevent it. “Brilliant idea!”

Me a player who likes control decks: : ^)

As for card strength, there are two reasons:

1. Power creep. New more powerful cards give the players a reason to get the new cards or they’ll fall behind in power. This is something that happens in pretty much all collective card games as well as in lots of constantly updating video games like LoL.

And 2. The game is always balanced around standard. Some cards might appear very weak or strong in relation to others in the current standard which is why sometimes one needs to make “the same card” but weaker or stronger. For example MTG has alot of cards that do the exact same thing but have a higher or lower mana cost. That way if your new standard sets are full of big minions for example you can make a remove spell that costs a little less since it’s balanced in a set full of big things. In Hearthstone this mostly happens through power creep though.

Now the rush copier makes more sense. I… Don’t like cards like this. Weapons are a pretty unhealthy mechanic in Hearthstone and I’m tired of losing like 15 health within few turns just because someone goes face with a weapon.

But my opinion doesn’t make this card any worse, it’s a very powerful though boring card. 4/5 I pray a weapon based aggro deck won’t be a thing but it probably will..

The rating is high cause any new rush card that could combo off of this can break the game. In other words it has alot of potential in this and the next expansions.

Guess we’ll be getting some very powerful demons then. I would’ve liked this as a Warlock/DH dual class card just to push the big demon archetype a bit more.

All in all a great card IF we get some big powerful demons.

That’s a pretty tight orc to say the least.

Good card, hard to rate for now cause we don’t know if we’ll get good rush minions to go with this. But this is a card that gets better and better every expansion when more rush cards are released. 4/5

Interesting card, not sure how to rate it, I don’t see a real use for it in standard currently other than making “more of the good stuff”. I’ll assume warlock will get some discard demon that synergizes well with this since they’re pushing that archetype again.

Oh look a card that completely shuts down All spell mage (shuffles generated minions to deck)… Sigh.

All in all this is a really strong card against control decks and I honestly hope this doesn’t see play. What’s more frustrating than losing 5-6 cards from your hand? Nothing.
