That said, I'm confident you guys will explain how it's unplayable, won't see competitive, utter garbage, disappointing, etc.
Constructed mage don't run Silver Hand Knight. Constructed mage won't run Faceless Summoner. It's common sense. Why would a spell centric class play this minion rng stuff ? That said, i'm confident you guy will explain how it's the new shredder and will see play in every single deck.
8/10 arena
0/10 constructed
period.
Lol you are analysing the card in the current meta, and that's not the case. You know whats crazy? Silver hand knight might not be terrible in Standard, and the same goes for this, which is way better actually since you can get much more than a guaranteed token.
Sure, it ain't no shredder , no one is going to be. But rng has been part of mage ever since gvg, and it did much more good than bad. I believe this to be the case again.
But if you compare it to Piloted Sky Golem it isn't super OP anymore. This has a bit different stats and has a Battlecry instead of a Deathrattle, but the minion summoned costs 1 less. I think this might be played in some Mage decks.
Yeah but deathrattles can always be silenced. Battlecry is better is this case.
I really think people are overreacting. It's hard to say for sure how standard will look, but this will absolutely not see play in Wild, and I'd be very surprised to see it in standard. Even if this did see play, it is far from Piloted Shredder levels of OP. There's a big difference between 4 drops and 6 drops, not to mention deathrattle vs battlecry.
9 mana value in a 5/5 body? hell yes! With this same stats and mana cost we have Sylvannas and Emperor, i can see this card being play.
I wouldn't say 9 mana in value. You would never pay 6 for a 5/5. Yeti is 4/5 for 4 and he's not playable anymore. You might play a 5/5 for 4. Assuming that is true, the 5/5 is 4 mana in value, plus the random 3 mana minion is obviously 3 mana....
So you're getting 4+3=7 mana worth of creature for 6 mana. You're saving one mana in value, but some of it is random. I'd say power level, it's right on point. Great for Arena, not so much for either constructed format.... unless it comes as part of a brann / battlecry deck. Then sure, as a one of. I just think Mage has better options.
It's good stat-wise, but a lot of people are overvaluing it because they forget it competes with all the other 6 cost minions.
Are you willing to drop Thaurissan or Sylvanas for this cost? I doubt you l'd want to run many more than 2-3 cost 6 cards in a tempo mage deck.
Some will say yes, some will include a 1-of. It's a good card for its cost.
Sylvanas does nothing for mage decks, for the most part (now that duplicate and EoM are gone). Thaurissan, I can live without. I'm certainly adding one of these puppies into my Bran/Reno deck.
if this guy summons Brann, will the battlecry be copyed?

It's some serious shit..

2mana maybe good enough

Arena - 8/10 - It's a common!!!
Constructed - 5/10 - WELL, who knows what decks will be played in the future, atm it's a meh card
Lol if it happens then u will see a trolden video where it summons brann and another brann and another untill ur board is full .. :p

Why is mage getting BETTER in arena? Feelsbadman
Oh man my mage arenas just got WAY better

Good pick in arena though.
I'm glad this ISN'T a neutral card. Then it would be GvG all over again. I guess heavy RNG is expected in mage already so this works.
