Arena mage mage really needed some help, so they gave them this because we don't see enough mages and paladins in arena.Seriously, I thought they realized the mistake they made after giving paladins Keeper of Uldaman and now this happens...
While its Awesome card (and even more awesome with Bran) its weaker than Shredder.
Shredder was much more faster (4mana vs 6 mana). And was more durable vs board clears. Yes Battlecry give you value right away. But Almost all 4 drops can be killed by Flamestrike, Hellfire. Strength of Shredder was not only value but stickiness. Opponent used board clear on your Shredder and Haunted creeper and you still had board. This time this will not work.
Still its is very cool card, but only for mage.
Absolutely strong for a common card, just broken in arena.
I am a mage player.
And this....this is... this is trigger the hell out of me.
Just why?
Seeing cards like this in my favourite class is.... I just feel like it's soo unfair to other class's. I feel shame already.
I realized my wording is soo bad. Damn Im dumb.
I'm editing.
Brann Bronzebeard Will it make another 3 drop if you get Brann???
Yup
the battlecry happens before Brann comes in, so no.
yes
The new "shredder" for mages. An auto include.
Instead of nerfing Paladin's Mysterious Challenger, are they going to give every class crazy 6 drops? This card is so OP. Much better than Piloted Shredder.
a 5/5 is worth about 4,5 mana (maybe a very little less) soo the minions are worth a totally of 7,5 mana, even with the randomness its still quite op, there aren´t much "bads" 3 drops, just check the list (3 Drops)
Actually, 5/5 is worth around 4 mana for a class card. The 3 drop random and possibly non-class card, so its going to be around 2.5. Together, this card is worth 4+2.5 = 6.5 mana. Still quite a bit value.
WTF I thought blizzard was done releasing OP cards like Piloted shredder. but they release this card which is probably better
They could always nerf it to say "Your Charge spells have +1 Attack".
Charge SPELLS? That's even worse than Warsong Commander! =P
...
that's the joke.
Imagine (if you dare) wild twisted threesome in witch Dr. Boom, Piloted Shredder and Mysterious Challenger somehow concieve a child... That is Faceless Summoner for you.
Notable outcomes (mind you, this is far from complete):
A 5/5 on its own is worth about 4.5 mana, so you're really getting about 7 mana of value for just 6 — and sometimes even more than that!
All you people need to stop overestimating what this card can actually do.
Is it a good card? Yes.
Will it be included in pretty much any mage deck in both wild and standard and be an important arena draft? Very much so.
Is it op tho? No, because it's a damn mage card.
Haven't you noticed the ongoing theme in this expansion? Each class has received one or more very potent minions that might be auto include in a lot of decks...but tehy're class cards. they aren't shredder or Dr. 7 who were run in every deck.
Blizzard even said that the biggest mistake about Dr Boom was making him a neutral card. Now we get powerful cardsfor each class that enable different decks and don't limit card choices for EVERYONE.
Besides, GvG gave us Piloted Sky Golem which is pretty much this card and look how much play that one saw.
At least with this one you'll know what you get and don't have to kill it first to see how to proceed with your turn. Also, there are like 34 3drops that might be game changing, other than that it's just a regular tempo card.
I didn't see anyone complain about Klaxxi amber Weaver or Master of Evolution..
