they say there are more dragons released in this set than in the whole game combined

This is like a volcano except it costs 8mana
if volcano summoned a 12/12 when cast on an empty board
and if it summoned a 12/6 when cast against a 6/6
and if it could kill 3 yseras
so basically it’s nothing like a volcano

you have to look at it like a 8mana 12/12 with rush+

Verdict:
5th least played card of the set, 3rd worst deck win rate of the set, single worst played win rate of the set.

Underrated.
This is scarlet crusader +1health. It’s a good neutral 3drop.

Summoning 20minions isn’t hard in a token deck. You can start using your savage roar hero power by turn 8, consistently, by simply playing good cards that you’d play anyways like sn1psn4p (+3), replicating menace (+4), and the new locust swarm (+7). And you can remove finishers / direct dmg (goblin bombs), that are bad tempo, because your hero power will take care of the damage dealing.

This is super good.
With execute you need exec + 1dmg to kill something. Here you need the same. Except if you can’t deal that 1dmg, it’s still a 2mana polymorph in a lot of situations. Unlike exec which is useless if you can’t damage the minion.

Underrated.
This compares to firelands portal: 1more mana but the body is guaranteed 5/6 which is better than an average 5drop body which is under 5/5. It’s a bit weaker than firelands but has 9 times more opportunities of seeing play because it’s neutral.

Underrated.
A scarlet crusader with lifesteal would be strong, this is just as good with its +1+1 for +1mana. You could also compare it to shredder, it has 1 less health but has lifesteal, and the deathrattle is generally better than a 2drop.

Underrated
This has 1 more health and a better effect than kabal courrier, which saw play. It’s a strong card.

This is nothing like shadow essence?

This card isn’t good.
If you want to play this on stuff like cairne, it’s a worse ancestral spirit (because 4health > 1mana), and ancestral spirit has never been any good.
It might see play as a cheap but slow cycle card in a deck with loot hoarders, dead ringers, thalnos and acolyte.

This is underrated. It’s about as good as evil miscreant (a 2/2 weapon and a 1/4 body are worth the same). Livewire lance can’t be bounced like miscreant can, but it can be upgraded, and doesn’t required Combo.

Most underrated card so far.
This is a better beltcher. It has 1 less attack but costs 1 less mana, and 1mana is worth 2stats. 2/1 taunt and 1/2 taunt are worth the same. So that’s .5mana better than sludge beltcher. Also it fits more decks than beltcher because it’s cheaper. This will see the most play out of all cards revealed so far.

Deathrattle is never 1word
it’s “Deathrattle: do that”

If you give windfury to a windfury minions it does nothing.
Same with all 1-word keywords
So no.

A 2/2 weapon is worth as much as (and is faster than) a 1/4 body. The second lackey comes 1 turn later and can be stopped by weapon removal. But the card doesn’t need a combo. It can’t be bounced, but can be upgraded. Which is not as good. Not quite as good as miscreant, but still very good, and def not slow compared to a combo 3mana 1/4.

Do you realize you said comparing it to loot hoarder is laughable, and then you immediately compared it to loot hoarder? Comparing this to loot hoarder is obviously the most logical way of thinking about that card.
If you want an owl, and you have an owl in your hand, you play owl. You don’t play every expensive card in your hand and then pay 2 to discard your owl and hope to not get earth shock / sap / frost nova etc in order to maybe get a second owl that won’t even be useful because they know you have it.
Having two different cards is better than having two of the same card. Having a card now is better than having a card later. Cycling is better than creating cards.

“Just because silence answers this doesn’t mean it’s bad”
That’s true. And that would be relevant if someone said “silence answers this therefore it’s bad”.
It’s basically loot hoarder. Which is not good enough card generation for any tempo deck, and zoo is the deck that least wants card generation.

So we’re talking about a 2nd guldan that costs 2 more and that you can only play after you’ve played the normal guldan but only if you drew it before you played the first guldan and also it’s a 2card combo and you don’t benefit from the hero power because you already had it.
I don’t think wild is slow enough for that to happen, but even if it is, this is still ridiculously worse than guldan, yet this is 4.7/5 while guldan is 4.6/5.

Most overrated card so far. It’s a loot hoarder except worse because it doesn’t cycle and is more vulnerable to silence. One more mediocre discard card is not going to make tier404 discard warlock good.
