A little bit counter to Big Priest.
Dust it! kappa
Tess synergy or naw?
More like Marin what the fox.
I unironically use this card. A solid 7/10.
It's a free legendary, lads. Don't be so serious.
wow *slaps hand*
Divine Spirit Divine Spirit Inner Fire
Dust it
i have the worst idea of all time, use marin, use Toxic Arrow, attack treasure chest, profit
The chest dos not have attack.
what?! not a pirate? how comes?
Blizzard is so fucking dumb
Then how Bloodsail Howler is a pirate?
That doesnt make any sense...
It's fine.
Oh, it doesn't look that good, I'll just dust it.

This card is an insult to everyone who spent money on purchasing each wing of League of Explorers. This is a blatant power creep of Elise Starseeker and a much better version of it 2 which F2P scum get Now.... 4 Free!!!!! If Blizzard continues to spit in the faces of those of us who have worked hard, very hard to build up a pay wall between ourselves an the F2P parasites that leech off this beautiful game just to watch Blizzard give them free access 2 every legendary card in the entire game, then I hope they're happy watching their game quickly die as they drive away the players who actually keep this game alive with their money.
I think as Hearthstone gets more expensive, the fewer people will play the game. They need to find a balance between the two F2P and the P2W aspects of the game. Giving people a free legendary (That you can't even dust) is "Generous", but there is no Elise Starseeker in standard right now, and the card is more of a 'Fun' card than anything. The 'Discover a Legendary minion, summon two copies of it' I low rolled the 2 and 3 princes and a millhouse manastorm, you see, the card isn't that good, and with the new expansion Journey to Un'goro, with 'Shadow Visions' the 'Map to the Golden Monkey' is discoverable by that, allowing you to get the 'Golden Monkey' faster, you can't do this with 'Marin the Fox'. And an 8 mana 6/6 is way too low stats to play in constructed and requires an extremely slow meta to be playable in the slightest.
TL;DR Marin is bad and Elise is much better, maybe they were trying to re-create it in standard so the new players could try these 'Fun' decks for free.
So after some time with marin I disagree with you woaow. There are several decent things marin can do, and he is an easy include in several controlling decks I have seen and played. He is also usable in a few cheaper decks that aren't ideal as decks go, but are quite fun and better than you might think. Literally yesterday I came up with a handbuff pirate paladin that gets a lot of value off marin. the golden kobold is useful to turn pirate you draw late into threats, the crown is decent in general even though you can low-roll with it. The goblet can be op in hand buff paladin because it is a deck that really likes a hand full of minions, and sometimes the card you draw is one of your value generators, like the grimestreet smuggler. and drawing three cards for three and reducing mana cost is again useful because you want a bigger hand, and you can then play your big threats for cheap often. Basically this card has a place in slower decks like elise, but it has more interesting effects. it is not an obvious auto-include in a control deck, it is a little bit worse than that, but it is free, and it allows for fun stuff to happen. And who ever said f2p players need to or want to play on a high competetive level. (btw I am f2p and I literally don't give a shit about legend because grinding is not fun. But if I did grind my collection would be at about the level of many pro players, because f2p is not as bad as everyone says it is in hearthstone.
I like him a lot in my standard fatigue warrior. There’s many options to kill the chest on the same turn you play fox like weapons, shield slam and execute. It’s also a good target to hit or kill on brawls or put extra chest copys with dead man’s hand
