This is is way way better than Steamwheedle Sniper IMO
It is a good card for early game, getting tempo, and it combos in the late game with the new minion, giving unlimited uses, and the one that makes it 1 mana, as for a little ultimate pinging. Rate is 9/10, as it just gets wrecked in the midgame.
Isn't that usually the case with class cards, though?
I build apps for a living.
Looks like 2/3 minions will return to the meta.
Give a man a Murloc, and he'll eat for a day.
Give him a Murloc Knight, and people will hate him.
Use the copying secret and echo of Medivh and this can be pretty broken, especially with the new cold drake providing multiple pings and the reduction of hero cost to 1, this may be very powerful for the burgeoning echo decks. I have about 60% win ratio with my echo deck and this would push it over the edge. also excellent in combination with flame walker. It's actually an excellent addition to enable echo decks without strengthening other mage decktypes too drastically.
What i want to know is if you get this from shredder as a warlock. Does you hero power hurt you 3?
Because this "Deal 2 damage" can be "Deal 3 damage". This effect stacks. It'll also be mainly found in a class that can make more use of the control aspect of the card, where Steamwheedle Sniper falls in a class that currently is more aggro oriented, and therefore can't really use the control effect well.
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
In the right deck it can do more interesting things. Duplicates and echoes can cause you to see that same minion over and over again. Cards like Flame Walker and Arcane Missals leave a lot of cards in 'Ping' range, but also a lot of cards just out of ping range. I know many times when I'm playing mage and I just need an extra bit of damage.
I will say that Steamwheedle Sniper may have had an indirect buff from Justicar.
Already OP... should cost 3.
People are forgetting that this is a rare and not an epic. Steamwheedle Sniper costs 400 dust and is a lot harder to get in packs. It will see more play simply because it is a rare and not an epic.
Fits well with the freeze/echo mage style of play
While you all will be copying this, i'll be copying Explosive Sheeps.

PremiumYes, same goes for Shaman with the new weapon. Piloted Shredder just got buffed.

Yes, The deck I envision is very minion heavy, with duplicates to save the hero power minions and perhaps even 1 Echo of medivh. Use the hero power for some of the missing removal and dominate the board.
This is a piece of crap in constructed, right? Maaybe if some inspire-mage gets viable in the future, but it just seems way too slow to be of any use. On turn 4, this+ping is simply too weak, and later, its even worse. It would have to be +2 damage to be close to viable, it could at least kill a shredder, but then the shredder itself would be insane when he drops this.
Got a golden one (have 2 normal), and kept it because I collect golden mage cards, but I seriously consider DEing it as I will probably never ise it in a deck...

You're right. The card basically reads "4 mana 3-2 deal 2 damage". It isnt crap by any means, it's comparable to SI:7 Agent when the rogue doesnt have the coin, but Mage has much better cards to fill the 2 mana slot (Sorcerer's Apprentice). Not to mention, on turn 4, there's Piloted Shredder which is pretty much mandatory if you got it on curve.
Edit: except its not comparable to SI:7 at all, since you also get a 3-2 dagger from that play. Bad example.
