On the first turns this can be easily killed by 2 cost minions or spells, just like any other start you may have before GvG. So, you should bait the removal with another 2 drop and by the time you actualy play this mech, it's already late. For me this will be more useful on late game, but of course, you can always pray. "No frostbolt, no wrath..."
If they waste wrath or frostbolt on this, you're prob stuck in rank 20. This can be killed with most any 1 mana card.
The rank does not affect the use of removal for this card. My comment dates the GvG launch, at the start of the expansion the common 1 drops were Cleric and the Undertaker, also Flame Imp but they require some specific class match up. Today, not much has changed except for some Zombie Chows and Clockwork Gnomes. People who use Frostbolt or Wrath to kill this aren't bad players like you suggest.
Agreed!
Can we still say it's better than Dust Devil?
After facing couple of these in an Arena run, I can say it's an average 2-drop at best. I'd much rather draft almost any mech in it's place.
So pretty much we should just concede every time it is played unless we have a card that is a 1/30 chance equaling 0.03333333333% of the time. Lets win 1 every 30 matches on ranked see where that gets us. Plus really how many removal cards are that cheap. Many removal cards cost a lot more than 2 mana. But sure there are some that work if you draw them soon enough before its gg.
Well, since it has windfury, it renders Dust Devil completely useless. Well, it's not like anyone used him anyways. This will be good.
I think it should be changed to "Windfury on overload". Still, I believe this one will be changed at a later date.
poor Dust devil...
How is Whirling Zap-o-matic and Fiery War Axe similar? I get that they both cost 2, and they can both technically hit for 3 damage twice, if they stick around long enough, but ones a minion, the others a weapon. There's a million ways to get rid of minions and 3(?) ways of getting rid of weapons (other than using them). Yes, I'm counting Bloodsail Corsair as one of those 3.
I'm trying really hard to understand your logic.
thats exactly her point..... he/she is pointing out how stupid fiery war axe is. a 3/2 weapon that costs 2 mana that u have threatening every minion u can throw out at early game and cant "really" get rid of outside of tech cards (like ooze which no1 really use in ladder), is almost a broken thing. while Mr.Wheeee hits face for 6 dmg per turn (no buffs), he basically trades away for nothing and does nothing else by himself. However if u consider that u basically have to grit ur teeth and throw 2 minions to the grinder called "Fiery War Axe" which early game, Fiery War Axe basically eats up 2 minions for nothing at all.... 2? 3? 4? 5 dmg? ok... stack up some armor and get all that back...... not very hard to see what the person was getting at imo.
Why oh why would you EVER play Dust Devil over this? I love when they release cards that make irrelevant cards even more irrelevant .
Oh hell yeah.
Ok , this is something ...
This thing puts Dust Devil to shame and yet another reason to play Piloted Shredder.
Can Piloted Shredder summon a class card of a different class? Or even the same class? Does anyone know?
That's awesome/random!
Flametongue and this for 10 damage burst for 4 mana. Burst and Combo-Shaman will love this.
You forgot Kappa at the end.
