I think this will see some experimentation. Since it costs 3 isntead of 5 you can play it much easier with combo cards like bran plus this or playing this and gorehowl in the same turn.

Auto include in all control decks. You may not get his effect at all but hes a threat and has premium stats plus the 5 mana slot is pretty open.

 Compared to LoE and some parts of BrM, this expansion is incredibly and surprinsigly shit, seriously what is this?

will toy with it with Steward of Darkshire and this card as getting him on the board as a 1/1 stealth with divine shield will mean he has to be hit by 2 aoes to kill him and steward will give all the spawns divine shield aswell. MAy be a crap card but definately interesting.

Auto include in my Drunk Jaina deck

I think people undervalue the Options catagory of this card sure it might be a while before its something you may need but in control decks you can hold it for that time easily evaluating what it becomes and the value that will give you plus the things it can give you outside your class give it alot of possibilities. Its one of those cards that gives a deck the ability to never be completely lost because theres a chance that he will turn into X minion which can save your ass probably a decent pick in arena too.

All card games have RNG build right in  Blizzard since they have a digital only card game can just make funner versions of cards that physical card games simply cant or stray away from because deciding things randomly in person is a pain in the ass. But fact remains that in all card games you can simply draw the wrong cards or have to go second ect. Many random factors that may cost you the game.

This is why most tournaments are not decided by a single round where RNG may decide a little bit but skill decides much more.

Is every mage card for this expansion going to have the side effect of random? because were 4/4 so far. granted the rest at least have some redeeming factors this one is just kind of bad guess they learned their lesson from flamewaker. Either that or in testing they saw something  like it basically stun locking large minions and your opponents weapon allowing you to smorc or something so they had to make it have bad stats for cost.

shouldnt this be named Worgen Stalker?

Itl probably see play in mill decks as using its battle cry on stuff like Coldlight Oracle and Brann Bronzebeard or with all of them with the use of a single Shadowstep are all very likely and easy to pull off and gives you more mill.

 if my math is correct with Shadowcaster plus Brann Bronzebeard andShadowstep plusThistle Tea and Gang Up you can make a potential 18 moreColdlight Oracle from the origional 2 giving you 20 total which is well basically impossible to pull off but its also more than you would ever need potential still shows i think you will at least see a 1 of in mill decks.

Art is 10/10

love it.

i think its pretty bad nurubian egg was 0/2 and summon a 4/4 this is a 1/1 that summons a 5/5 the big difference is the egg costs 2 mana this is 4 only thing i can see it being played in is rogue deathrattle raptor decks.

Heroes of the storm doesnt use the Cho'gall from Bastion of twilight which this card is hes not only got a 6 pack but random eyeballs and back spikes.
