I think this is going to be a sleeper card like sludge belcher where everyone is going to be like "meh.." at first until a bunch of top players introduce it into constructed then it'll be one of those cards that's literally in every deck.
The large RNG factor makes it unlikely that it makes to many constructed decks. It's body is inferior to almost anything at 4 mana. It's like Ethereal Arcanist but with it's ability much less consistent. Mybe will see some niche use but will most likely end in fun decks only.
I think this one earns the "worst forecast ever" title though. "niche use".
And i think this entire thread must be pinned so its link can be easily copy pasted,everytime someone thrash talk early about a card in a new expansion.
Yeah really can't judge a card until it's in the meta, the meta game is too complicated for our little brains to be able to predict. We really have to wait until the release and the cards settle down and people experiment to see the full value of cards. Piloted Shredder and Dr. Boom were extremely misjudged on their release.
Now everytime I see someone bitching about a card I will forward them this thread. Without saying anything else. Just this thread is better than a thousand words.

There are more than a thousand words in this thread, so that's not really surprising.
At first i thought the was a new wotg card and was like, oh god its coming back. Now we just learn the lesson of not predicting cards before they are released.

It's hilarious how accurate this was despite all the skepticism people had.
Of all the cards revealed so far, I feel this is the best among them in a traditional sense. He sticks around and many 2 drops yield good value. Only down side is if you play him into a 3/2 2 drop minion on board. That's about it. He's really good otherwise. The ONLY bad 2 drops you could get are Captain's Parrot, Novice Engineer, Ancient Watcher (tho it depends if you have means to use him) and Mana Addict. The other 2 drops have at least 2 attack or give an extra effect. Sky Golem has the problem that it's a 6 drop and by that point of the game, the card itself AND the spawn can be dealt with more easily.

Looking back, these are so spot on, it's kind of scary. Good job @Zukuu !

any minion that can replace itself is always a valuable minion. it makes your board resilient to board clears and almost always gives you that board presence you need to not get behind the game. i'm kinda worried with so many new cards having this ability. i don't think it will be a healthy addition to hearthstone but we'll see.

This happened a lot in past. Watch every pre-review card videos on youtube or read from here. First impressions are usually comes from potential of card. Shredder's potential is 2threat for enemy. Which means your oppenent have to use 2 removal or minion to deal with Shredder.
But this potential not enough for people. Troggzor with limitless Rockjaw Trogg, Gazlowe with limitless Mechs seems OP than Shredder. Even people thought Boom bots are "meh". Some more damage with War Golem, right?
people were actually really positive about it, at least there was not a "trash card" or something, people were just insecure about the boom bots, which is normal.

Yeah, people actually saw its potential back then.

Hello.
It's a shame the Dr. boom thread is locked, because the progression on that is the best.
This card is fun but won't see much play -> I opened this card and i'm trying it out, it seems pretty good -> Holy s**t this is amazing
WTH BLIZARD REPRINTING SHREDDER FOR WHISPERS?!1! OP OP OP

Amaz about Entomb:
"It won't see play"

lol at those fools saying this card is not playable ahaha
Oh man when you read this thread you can just see how clueless people are when it comes to evaluating cards.
Then again, hearthstone was semi-new back then and people did not necessarily have previous card game experience.
i prefer handlock over zoo.
