I was just thinking about how Dirty Rat could be added to more decks to counter Echo combos and such. I'm not sure if it will work, but I figure it would since it the card is summoned on your opponent's turn. What do you guys think? I'm curious to see how people will try to counter the new mechanics.
Of course he counters. Even if the copy appears on the hand after the echo minion be pulled out (what is not going to happen) , it will disappear at the end of the turn.
it is always funny to read comments like " it is rotating"
what the heck? it is not deleted from game, it is only rotating.. still so many ppl are playing wild so why you cant discuss about topic
comments like this are in so many threads about cards.. just because cards are rotating to wild format they are not gone.. and because you dont have enough card to play wild card is not dead
Welll, Dirty Rat was ruining all the good battlecry minions and combo pieces already. Won't be any different with echo minions. And Counterspell will ruin echo spells. I don't see anything intricate/tangled about it.
edit: And with all the locks and priests in wild lately Dirty Rat's battlecry could simply read "summon a giant, Voidlord or Ysera"
There is no card in hearthstone that you cannot find a counter for! Dirty Rat is one of the better cards that has ever been printed! It counters Reno, Kazakus (and every Tri-class card for that matter), and Raza to name a few. Dirty rat has no effect on Echo spells. If you are so concerned about getting ratted you can run Youthful Brewmaster or Doomsayer as well as other big minions. The fact that echo minions have a counter to their potential value is a good thing!

I think dirty rat is rotating, so it will be fine.
its rotating so who cares ?
Remember Dirty Rat is now going to be wild only.
So he could only work on wild, where would definitively work.
Still, it will be harder to see Echo stuff there so maybe won't justify the effort.

Gonna take a wild guess here, but wild players?

In Wild there will be most likely only a few cards with the new mechanics, because of Naga Sea Witch and Barnes.

Of course Dirty Rat would ruin Echo cards. Thats the whole point of Dirty Rat.....to ruin cards.
Gnomferatu will ruin Echo cards too
