Seems really good in Paladin (Wickerflame Burnbristle) and Shaman (Al'Akir the Windlord). If Shaman gets a decent Lifestealer I could see Control Shaman being a thing again.
Does everybody realise that this card works like Reno Jackson
It depends on your CURRENT deck status, meaning you only gain the effects if the corresponding minions are still IN YOUR DECK.
Was waiting for someone to point this out.
So if all you have in your deck is al-akir and then you draw it this is now a 4 mana vanilla 3/3... but still should be a pretty good card on turn 4. bad on turn 20
It's very unlikely you will ever have to play this card naked, as any deck adding this would also have tons of good taunt minions.
Midrange paladin will have a harder time adding this cuz the murloc package takes up too much space, but control paladin can add this one easily. Great card
Nah, Wickerflame is grinning from ear to ear because he's a one shot activator for 3 of the 4 effects and the two cards work really well in handbuff pally.
Nice to get my golden Al'Akir off from gathering dust from my back shelf, always loved the dude and now I have real reason to run him in my deck (since Rockbiter nerf).
Seems really strong, maybe too strong. Think its worse in-play than in vacuum though especially if you don't run multiple minions with those attributes as you have certain draw order you have to follow (think playing Reno with 1 or 2 duplicate cards, except this wont save you by drawing those cards).
All of you guys saying It's a really broken card but think about this, we haven't seen all the cards yet, even in this meta 3/3 body with ds isn't so hard to remove from the board, in arena in turn 4 you already have some decent board so I think it won't be THAT powerful in arena, maybe justgood 4 drop, on the other hand it might see play in constructed as a great anti-aggro card especially in controlish paladin decks. That's just my opinion. Cheers.
Geez, in a deck with just Wickerflame Burnbristle, this will produce 2 more 4-mana 3/3 versions of that card. Pretty insane against Aggro for sure.
I'd imagine that this card will see play only in deck with multiple instances of at least the first three keywords. If you run it with just Wickerflame then you're counting on NEVER drawing him on curve lest your deck suddenly contain two 3/3 vanilla minions that cost 4 apiece. But still, if paladin gets one more good card with lifesteal then this will become a staple for that class, at least.
Let's say you draw Wickerflame Burnbristle. Is a Silvermoon Guardian with Taunt good enough? I actually don't think it is. Unless you play other Lifesteal cards to help.
This card is overhyped, the body wiil not grow, so it will die anyway, easy remove on turn four, SW: pain, frostbolt ping, eviserate, hp wrath, etc. Very good arena card only.
Would be really super awesome if there was some way that the keywords got highlighted before you cast it, similar to Reno's glow but with a lot more info. Kinda annoying if you're playing without a decktracker and you punt a game because you already drew your taunts

Thank goodness this doesn't work for Charge.
Blizz you forget the most important keyword CHARGE!
Great card! ...fairly useless if drawn toward the end of your deck though...

this then run adapt (lol quest paly) on it for can't be targeted by spells or windfury
G=Good B=Bad Do you see the pattern? Every second expansion is always trash.
G: Goblins V Gnomes , Old Gods, unguro
B: TGT, gadgetzan, Knights (Unreleased so MAYBE)
This card for me, so far, is the best one revealed. Very nice!
This card is so good!
This probably could have been a legendary and nobody would have bat an eye. But I won't complain about putting two of these in my deck!

Surprise!
Whelp, guess I'm definitely spamming silence when this set comes out, now.
