I'd love to experiment with this worgen dude! Control hunter, Quest hunter... Do we have a 1 drop with rush already? If not, boar is going back to the meta!
And no more potion of madness. I'm a bit excited.
Basically, he sells toxins to the weakest ones... That's deep.
He makes them poisonous so that they can have the illusion of power, only to die for another man's cause.
this card is tight. excited to play with it.
This is legit.
Based on the wording of Toxmonger, it seems to imply that you can give ANY minion Poisonous as long as it costs 1 mana when you play it.
Look at The Marsh Queen and Tol'vir Warden, they both specifically mention 1-cost minions. Instead, Toxmonger says minions that cost (1). This wording is also seen on Arcane Tyrant. If you were to play, for example, Blizzard for 4 mana after discovering it off Primordial Glyph, then Arcane Tyrant won't drop to 0 mana. But, if you were to play Frostbolt for 7 mana after your opponent dropped Loatheb last turn, then Arcane Tyrant will cost 0 mana.Edit: Looks like his text is worded the same as the quest. However, it was pointed out in the comment below that the quest still counts minions that have been discounted. Which means as long as the minion costs 1 mana the moment you play it, then it should gain Poisonous.
The Marsh Queen does work with discounted minions that drop to 1 mana, like Corridor Creeper or any discounted card really, so the wording really doesn’t mean anything special between the two cases.
With Tol’vir Warden, well, minions in your deck, at least for now, always keep their mana cost unchanged, so I can’t really say if the wording on that case will cause any special interactions at some point with new cards.
Ideal scenario is you play this with something with high survivability or can attack immediately.
Best choices I could find are Argent Squire, Elven Archer, Stonetusk Boar, Worgen Infiltrator, and possibly Dire Mole and Fire Fly.
Considering how Plague Scientist found a place as a tech in Tempo Rogue, Toxmonger may very well have a spot in some, if not all Midrange Hunter lists. One issue is that Toxmonger is slower and has a more situational effect than Scientist, but this could be circumvented with proper deckbuilding.
Well a decent big removal for hunter with Elven Archer or Stonetusk Boar Control. Also has some synergy with Fire Fly
One shot, one kill (and it's for real)
Battlecries trigger before minion effect occurs.
Whenever a minion is played effect triggers before battlecries, check Illidan Stormrage and Ravaging Ghoul. It's not the exact same effect but works the same way.
The Marsh Queen
You obviously want to have a few 1 cost minions in your hand when you play this, so...
Ravencaller
Tol'vir Warden
The real reason patches was nerfed.
Did you see the word “play”?
