Interesting design but I'm sceptical.
Building a deck centered on this card means to include it twice to make the deck more stable. But it also decreases its potential, because, you may draw the 2nd Prismatic Lens!
To make it work you need:
- either small dudes and big spells: So we might consider an aggro deck + Dinosize (and no other spells), and cross fingers to draw (the only?) Prismatic Lens very early. Problems:
- Dinosize seems to be the only big spell that could be relevant.
- It seems tricky to remove Lost in the Jungle or Blessing of Might for this (very) optimistic scenario...
- Maybe this option will become more interesting in the next expansions...
- either big dudes and cheap spells: if you draw it very early it might work even if you run this card twice (just include enough low-mana cost spells to increase the probability to get a favorable combo).
- If you can cast the Prismatic Lens early, your cheap big minion could hold the board an deal significant damage, a bit like an early Edwin VanCleef.
- On the other hand, if you do not draw Prismatic Lens, I'm not sure that Paladin could hold the board by only using cheap spells and tokens. I guess that you would need Baku the Mooneater, Noble Sacrifice, Lost in the Jungle, Holy Light. And at the end, you will be probably overwhelmed...

Keening Banshee is clever!

A natural mistake.

The only redeeming quality about this card is the golden animation is pretty sweet :P

You might laugh when he says classic is the strongest set, I know I did. But i realize now he's not wrong. Most competitive decks are made with almost half classic and basic cards, more than any other set in the game.

Way I see it, if classic cards are nerfed instead of buffed, more expansion cards will be played, thus resulting in a fresher meta imo.

I've met so many players in arena who will trade with this minion when it's at only 2hp, I'm starting to love this card.

I like how his ice-cream scoop of a gun is in post-fired position on the tokens.

Bog Beast + Fen Creeper = Bog Creeper

Ben Brode said in the stream that it would produce a 4/6 with taunt and charge.

Because Druids just lost 3 cards to the nerf and mage is already one of the most viable classes in the game?
