Why would you play anything but Rogue this set? Kidding. I just love the thought thats been put into this set. I've never been more excited to play this class.
Thin your deck, keep your hand full of options or pull the few critical minions for your combo deck. This is awesome.
Hmm So if the only minions in my deck are cold light oracle....
So DRAW is from my deck into my hand but RECRUIT is from my deck onto the board? Did I get that right?
Yep
I'm rather surprised it's not Combo: Recruit 2 minions. Still, seems interesting enough.
I'm not surprised because that would be insane. Warrior spell is 6 mana for recruit one minion. imagine paying 4 mana to pull out y'shaarj and the lich king.
no way. recruit 2 minions for 4 mana would be broken.
you would just put big minions and spells in your deck and destroy everyone.
Like big priest?... though yes big priest only pulls one, but they have way better ways to control the board and revive the minions.
Yes, that would be insane. I worded that poorly. I'm not surprised it's not just a straight "Recruit 2", more that I'm surprised that they didn't somehow work the new mechanic into a card that pulls minions. Especially a card with the word "minstrel" in the name, since thematically I see a travelling bard picking up travelling companions (straight onto the board) along the way.
Similar to Xaril, Poisoned Mind, but instead of promoting combo, requires it. Draw 2 is great on a 3/2 body. Best case scenario u coin this out on 3.
My Minstrel brings all the minions to my hand...
And Arcane Giants too.
