Elven Archer's Battlecry might deal the damage before Toxmonger's affect applies to it. I know that battlecries typically go off before the minion is actually in play. The poison buff that Toxmonger gives it might apply only once it is a minion. We'll see soon enough; it'll be great if it works!

Actually, this card is Even.

You gotta be careful with the words 'odd' and 'even' this set.

What you stated is just one of a handful where this card might be useful.

This should be your hint that this isn't strictly better or worse than Unleash the Hounds.  Mastiff is effective against tall boards, it's better when topdecking, it doesn't require combos or specific board states, and you can even drop 10 power on the board late game.  If they make control hunter viable, they won't be crying about spending 8 mana killing an 8/8.  Trading cards 1-1 in the late game and Steady Shot-ting sounds like the dream.

 

Except that is not how the meta is going to work. If you're that far behind that you're in need of a Mastiff topdeck, you've already lost the game. No matter how you slice it, spending 8 mana to remove a single 8 health body from the board is a terrible trade. Especially when most classes have far cheaper removal spells that can do the same thing. The longer the game goes, the worse this card becomes. The only way this card sees play is through build a beast or if they have another card to announce that can you can combo with it.

This is much better in cases when the opponent has only one large minion; you can use 4 of these to face off against 1 giant or 8/8 dragon, whereas Unleash the Hounds would get you a single hound.

This is just going to re-ignite the entire 'Team 5 thinks players are stupid' debate. The whole point of keywords is to learn them as a mnemonic for the effects of the cards.  It's part of learning how to play the game.   When you hover over a card in hand, it pops up a tool-tip explaining the mechanics of the keyword.  Eternal has some doozies when it comes to keywords - Revenge, Spark, Ultimate - I guess you have to be a Mensa member to play that game.  

Perhaps the confusingness of the effect indicates a problem with the effect itself.  Why can some things not target it but other things can?  I guess I can agree there isn't a word that describes it.

 well the effect saids TARGET so spells that do AOE damage or a random spell arent spells you target with so idk how that could be confusing

Did we have an entire new expansion come and go without a single new Murloc or Pirate?

Quote from Tarumol >>

What is mean by 2 different minions?

If i have 2 clerics and they both die, I cast this , I only get 1 of them back?

Quote from MeziCrochet >>

Yeah. Thanks I get that. I mentionned the two cards because they're just really good and they'll fit in any pally deck. I understand there is no synergy...

I think dying happens before the deathrattle, so my guess is Val'anyr would be equipped first when Tirion Fordring dies, and then his deathrattle would trigger and give you Ashbringer, overriding the Val'anyr.

Note that the buff from Val'anyr is not something you cast since it is a deathrattle, so Lynessa Sunsorrow won't gain the buff as part of her battlecry, since her battlecry only gains buffs that you cast on minions. I'm not sure if that's what you were thinking, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I've done a video for every tavern brawl. The last time this braw came out, it was Tavern Brawl #9, and I posted the video August 12, 2015. Standard first started in April of 2016.

Whenever I do a repeat brawl, I link it back to the previous time we've done that brawl, and I was just as surprised as you. I really thought we had done one more recently than that.

There is the brawl that casts spells when you play minions called Battle for Tol Barad, and the last time we had that was this year, in February.

Well... If they wanted YOU to win every game, that means they want your opponent to lose every game. Some one has to lose, and when there are 2 people that could win to 50/50, or every other match...

Wow, that's unlucky... I've only seen him play blizzard a handful of times in all my matches with him. You really get it that often?

I'm glad it was helpful!
