The ethereals have their own jousting tournament, and Saraad is the reigning champion. Also he won the ethereal hot dog eating contest.

You dont think he will make up for hes lack of tempo in value? 2 mana hero power + random spell. Then again he dies to most 5 drops, but if you can protect him? Or is that to much work for a random value? (Might as well pay 9 mana and get Ysera)
seems ok statwise for a 5 drop just i feel the RNG it with the amount of spells there are makes it not really that reliable an option as i don't need a sacrificial pact when facing someone not using illidan and is not warlock. overall it is nice on paper but not so much in practice.
Guys, Saraad has turned into my favorite legendary, I mean if you get this, how can't you love him?

tbh i would dust for something more reliable unless you have nothing you need to craft
You really think he is that bad? I thought he was powerfull, but I guess its to much RNG and his stats doesnt really live up to any 5 drop standard.
I feel sorry for all the people who crafted this garbage on day 1. Terrible card.
i may correct you , garbage cards are Millhouse Manastorm , Majordomo Executus... but this ? how could you call it garbage ?
so.. is he riding a demonic camel?
Space Camel.
Insane in Arena, 12 wins Paladin with Nexus in the Deck. Mostly only 1 time use, but it's like a taunt. Great card, I wish I had it in my collection
It's usually going to be a downgrade from azure drake, which is already rarely played in control decks. Drawing one card from your own deck is much better than drawing a random spell, and with azure drake you get the draw automatically instead of needing to spend 2 more mana. The spell damage is worth the -1 hp.
Fencing coach is so terrible by itself that comboing it with this is just too inconsistent to be a good deck.
For 2 more mana than Saraad plus hero power, you could drop Nefarian, which gives you twice the stats and twice the cards. But Nefarian is still trash in constructed. This card is even worse trash than Nefarian.
This card is going to be like Feugen+Stalagg and Troggzor: people will try it out for a couple of weeks, and then there will be a consensus that it's garbage.
I'd probably sooner have a 4/5 that says "Kill me or I get a second random spell" than a 4/4 spell damage. You can respond to Azure Drake by playing a larger minion that threatens to eat it. That doesn't really work with Saraad.
it's actually a little harder to deal with saraad than with a dragon. His problem is that the spells you get will not always help. However, if you are playing flamewalker mage, most spells are useful due to synergies.
this is so wrong. 4/5 is much better than 4/4, Spell Damage is useless in many controldecks and drawing a card from your deck brings you faster into fatigue.
Don't dis troggzor. The mage tears when you drop him
In most games Nexus-Champion Saraad won't survive to next turn, so you will trigger it once. If it suvives, it's like win more card.
So in normal match you pay
7 mana for Azure Drake = 4/4 body + your card + your ability, good to play on turn 5, +1 spell damage,
7 mana forNexus-Champion Saraad = 4/5 body + random card + your ablity, good to play on turn 7, small chance to give more cards
I love this guy. I've combined him with antonidas in my spell mage deck, and have rocked many battles so far. More fireballs than I can handle. Sure it's based on RNG, but haven't gotten any useless spells so far.
"Nexus" ??!?!? are they gonna put this guy in HoTS?
No they aren't. It just seems that all important Ethereal Characters have 'Nexus' before their title.
Art permanently bugs out after destealthing.
(goes all firey looking)
