Sometimes it works... sometimes its a big slap in your face...

Pretty troll card, a lot of fun though when the RNG goes your way:)

For those who want it, here is some data on our turtle mage friend here. For each hero, I'll reveal the chances of Primalist offering a card that will give him value, and some comments on the class in general.

TLDR: Only Druid, Mage, and Priest can ever hope to use the card with any degree of effectiveness. Maybe Rogue or Warlock if you have a really weird deck.

Druid: 69%, by far the highest chance of him being worth playing, he can pull a large number of useful cards that are guaranteed to help, even when cast randomly, including a lot of minion summoning, drawing, and buffing. The best card you can get is usually Wisps of the Old Gods, with a 9.7% chance of it showing.

Hunter: 25%, you can get Call of the Wild 13.6% of the time, which is amazing, but there is not really anything else that makes the card worth playing, mostly secrets, which are not good value.

Mage: 49%, it's worth noting that with mage, while you have only a little less than a coin flip's chance of getting value, when you do get it it is often in the form of Flamestrike, Blizzard, or Greater Arcane Missiles (about 27% of the time), and when you don't get it you will at least get a secret or better 90% of the time, making a true dud more unlikely than with any other class.

Paladin: 35%, and you will get a set of 3 lovely duds giving 1 or less value to the card 39% of the time. You can get Avenging Wrath just under 10% of the time, but that, Lay on Hands, and Stand Against Darkness are the only cards worth getting at all. One of the worst classes for him all accounted for.

Priest: 42%, but with Free From Amber and Mind Control being options, it is still a potential monster if luck is on your side. Furthermore, a lot of priest cards can be interesting and situational, making the chances of it being useful more than what the 42% based on card value and targeting would imply.

Rogue: 40%, and will mostly just draw you cards. Maybe a good Sap or Assassinate, and potential for a Vanish that uses up no cards, but a pretty low chance of doing anything useful.

Shaman: 33%, and the highest chance of doing something actively detrimental to the player who used him of any class. Overload is a *****, and the cards that might be useful are limited to board booting effects like Spirit Echo and Bloodlust. The best you can really hope for is four murlocs.

Warlock: 12.5% chance, the chance of getting Kara Kazham!. No other card makes it worth the cost of the card without there being a better option to just have in your deck normally. What I mean by that, is that he has a 32% chance of giving you a complete board wipe, which can still be useful. Basically just an unreliable Twisting Nether, don't play him if you are ahead. Or put him in your deck.

Warrior: 12%, very similar to Warlock, only good card that doesn't clear is Ironforge Portal. MAYBE Sudden Genesis. Other than that, a more expensive Brawl is the most you can hope for. If he wins the brawl though, that would give him a moment of glory.

In summary he sucks, but if I see him drafting arena for Druid, Mage, or Priest, totally grabbing him.

Let me know if you want more stats, you single person who read this.

Thanks for crunching the numbers- now I'll draft very slightly better arena decks!

I think it's worth noting that in paladin, it's best to play this on when the enemy board is empty. Getting a Spikeridged Steed, Blessing of Kings, Silvermoon Portal, or Dinosize on one of your minions is pretty good.

Is this playable? im just drop golden one from arena pack

My initial evaluation of this card was that it was the "worst card in the set, and perhaps the worst card ever". After having played with and against it, my opinion is now a solid "not completely terrible". Sure, you'll have moments where you need to pick Fireball to get out of a jam, only to see your turtle blow up in front of your face, but a great deal of the time this will be a secret (you are playing this in Mage, aren't you?), card draw, or a board wipe. Obviously it's still a bad card since there are far better things you can do for 8 mana, but nothing beats getting a Flamestrike with a 1-mana 5/4 attached.

"cowabunga" is the entry sound :D

It's actually "Turtle Power."

It's actually "Turtle Power."

So far 100% of the times this dude discovers explosive shot, he casts on itself. 3 times already wtf

Got call of the wild once and it felt good

Mana cost: Not bad enough to invalidate it, but only just

Random target? Trash tier epic...

Now you can give your opponent Dinosize and STILL get a 5/4 body for 8 mana. Amazing!

8 mana: cast a pyroblast to your hero :'D

Sorry, i just realized the text says discover...my bad :D

Because Servant of Yogg-Saron was a great card that saw a lot of use and everyone loved it, so of course they'd print another version of it.

/s

This is an extra board clear for warlocks, I think this is flying under the radar. If you get DOOM! or Twisting Nether then your opponent gets completely rekt.
