Kobold Monk is much more better than this minion and it saw no play. I am safe to say that this minion will see no play either. I hate to be so grim but I love Kobold Monk's concept but it was just easily dealt with. The effect is ultimately isn't strong enough to be a factor.
The difference is that removing the Kobold removes the Elusive effect.
dont think this card is good , dont stop cards like mind blast or hunter hero power , also aggro decks mostly have a full board of minions and they dont care about face spells
sure it can delay malygos decks but you need to have the card and know when they use their combo.
Not sure how good this card will be, but this card is much better than kobold monk. The effect of this card continues till the next turn even if it dies, while killing the monk removes its effect. I actually think this card may end up surprising people particularly if the meta becomes very combo orientated and you just need that one extra turn in order to win and not get combo womboed.
I like this card because 3/4 for 3 is well statted and it has an effect that may come in handy and is not totally broken as hell. This is what I call a balanced card.
I'd rather have a card that specifically techs against spells, like "all spells must target this minion". Unless you only play against burn mage, this really isn't worth it.
Playable whilst leaning towards bad. We will probably see more Hero Face Damage Malygos type decks, which is a shame. And they are including this card as chance to tech against it. But the archetype of large spells to enemy face and Malygos, I was hoping would die off.
I would say it is a bit better than Kobold Monk due to the independence of the effect but still won't see play. But will like it in Arena - may save you in a couple of clutch scenarios.
Could make an Temporus OTK-Deck viable. When the board is as clear as possible, play Spellward Jeweller and Temporus, and while your opponent has two turns to kill you, he can only do this with minions.
the problem I have with this card, is that we already have Kobold Monk, and while this card is different, it is similar enough that we already know its bad. so any theories we have with this card will probably not work because they did not work before.

Rejoice, for even in death, you have become children of Thanos.
Better than Kobold Monk because this card keeps your hero elusive for a turn, even if it’s removed from the board. Monk was more fragile because the moment he died, your hero lost elusive
It's decent tech against combo, but it can't stop all combo decks. Unless something crazy happens, people will just use Mojomaster Zihi to tech against combo if they think they'll have trouble with it.

well, there's your anti combo tool. Also anti burn. Let's hope MAge won't ahve to rely on aggro builds
I tried having fun once. It was awful.

So, I can play Duskfallen Aviana now and not die next turn?

The only real hard arena card in the reveal, kudos to blizzard for showing some real show stoppers day 1
Guys this is insane vs Quest Mage!

Ironic. It could recycle others, but not itself.

To be great is to be misunderstood.
Shudderwock, anyone?

Seems like this with 2 Time Outs is gonna give more sustain to OTK Paladin

Also good against Spell Hunter's Kill Command.

Because Kobold Monk can be dealt with easily.
and this can say FUCK YOU to Malygos.
At least Odd decks in Wild got the Kobold Monk-esque effect in case the meta will be loaded with spells that can target your hero. :D
Battlecry: Tell Exodia Mage to go fuck itself.
Kobold Monk prevents about 6 damage.
This prevents about infinity damage.
No competition there.
