The differenece between 1 mana and 0 mana is huge actually this can be freely played it's less good than evolve, sure... but this makes so many cards much more playable, it's a big tempo card... for exmaple this + electra= a 5 drop (mostly a 5/5) which is a good tempo play don't underestimate this card.
Yeah use this on Electra and get a 1/1 former champ, so powerful
every evolve card will look weak if you put the worst case as example
That’s the essence of evolution cards though, there’s always a risk of lowrolling. Which is why evolve effects are generally weak unless you can cast them over and over (unstable evolution) or they affect your entire board (evolve). This card does neither which is why it is so bad

LMAO at the people that voted meta-defining or very good. Very weak card that is not worth a deck spot. Master of evolution was way better than this and never saw much play.
“I like that they try to do something different with the mechanics.. but just a 6 mana 4/6 taunt with a battle cry heal.. that might be worth something.. this is just too conditional.. if you get it at the wrong time it’s just shitty”
Unless you have 27 or more health this card is better than a battlecry minion with the same effect
This is strictly worse Fungalmancer 1 mana cheeper but with deathrattle and hand instead board effect. If that would be battlecry than maby, but here you need to play 4 mana 2/2 and wait a turn unless you can instantly kill it (i'm looking at you Grim Rally). It might see play if zoo need some more agro tools
A card that is one mana cheaper than the card you’re comparing it to can never be “strictly worse”. Strictly worse implies every facet of the card is worse, which is obviously not true when this card is one mana cheaper than fungalmancer. Eager Underling is better for sacrificing than fungalmancer. It also has deathrattle synergy where as fungalmancer does not. It’s fine to say this card is worse, and I won’t disagree, but it’s not correct to call it “strictly worse”, and I wish people would stop incorrectly throwing around that term.
People are way overrating this card. Too late in the game vs aggro and midrange and you are spending your entire turn 10 just to heal yourself (and your opponent) and dump a pile of stats. Against control this card is useless and you’ll wish it did something more valuable.
1) Expansions that actually change the meta unlike rastakhan. This means being willing to print more than 1-2 useful legendaries in an expansion (horrifying, I know)
2) A meta where otk decks are niche and not the norm. Togwaggle, Clone priest, mechathun builds, it’s just too much otk existing at once and something should have been done about it. Unfortunately you guys missed the boat on that one, maybe you’ll do better next time.
3) More events/content between expansions. I enjoy things like the fire/frost festival and the rastakhan showdown, and I wish similar things would happen more often.
4) Quicker balance changes/response to community feedback (there has been improvement in this area)
5) Periodic posts like this one where you ask us what we want and allow us to feel we are being heard!

Baba Ji’s black magic has finally won, his power was just too much for the hearthpwn mods to handle. RIP, I will miss this site.

Worse than witchwood piper in most situations. Seems weak.

This is literally mirage caller with less stats. Boring

Rafaam deserved better. Weak and boring card.
Unless there’s some awesome warlock board buff yet to be revealed there’s no way this card will see play.
