    I recommend crafting Hagatha as soon as you possibly can, if you did not unpack her or get her as a login bonus. Her power level rivals that of Tirion and Sylvanas as one of the most powerful Legendaries ever created. If you put her in an Elemental deck, you can use Murmuring Elemental/Fire Plume Harbinger on some cheap Elementals and absolutely start going to town on your opponent. Sure, you might pull crap like Totemic Might, but her ability to absolutely swing games to your favor just when all hope seems lost is absolutely incredible.

    hmm this is nice but only for rogue ?

     
     Doubt it. Zoolock decks could easily take out the Poisonous token with Argent Squire and use Mortal Coil on the token for card advantage. Mage can play this turn 5 and ping the token. I see a ton of potential for this in Zoo decks.

    Oh fuckberries, Zoolock got a new plaything. Taking the minion out in Zoolock won't be an issue, and this is a scarier Doomgaurd early in the game. I definitely would craft this.

    The fact that this can be comboed with Rebuke and can be fetched with Call to Arms...

    Millhouse Manastorm is actually PLAYABLE?

    God help us all.

    Does this trigger Kabal Crystal Runner's effect, or does it only apply to Secrets that you have played?

    Battlecry: Make A Cubelock player rethink their life choices when you destroy their Voidwalker tokens.

    This is addressed more to deal with Control rather than Aggro. Perfect examples are against Freeze Mage variants using Doomsayer, or nuking Voidwalker tokens spawned off Voidlord in Cubelock. I see him in the same vein as Skulking Geist, and the two cards are comparatively similar that they were designed to punish combos. Now a Warlock playing a Cubelock deck has to be wary about WHEN he Cubes Voidlord, because this card means that it undoes all the setup he did last turn and paves the path for a potential Silence to target the Cube. Hell, I can see Druid teching this in with Ramp to punish Aggro Paladin playing Call To Arms - you take out four cards from your opponent's deck for the price of one.

    I feel that the same people who are doggedly saying this is worthless are the same people who justify playing only one Skulking Geist in their deck and raging about how Skulking Geist is shit because it never occurred to them  to put more than one copy in the deck.

    My ass it's situational. Turn 4 Unleash the Hounds, trade one of them, use this on a high value target. I see it as a more reliable Kill Command on a minion, in that you can guarantee you can have a minion die on your end without hoping your opponent leaves your board alone, plus play this a turn earlier (Hunters usually play on a curve, and usually if they use a minion to combo into a Kill Command, it's at least a 2 mana Beast. Holding a Jeweled Macaw in hand just to combo with Kill Command screws up the tempo of a typical Hunter). Hell, even using an Eaglehorn Bow to trade into an enemy minion is enough to consider this a phenomenal card.

    posted a message on New Druid Legendary - Duskfallen Aviana

    Surprised no one else is touching up on this, but what if you WANT your opponent to take advantage of the zero cost and trick them into playing one of their big threats? I view this more as a bait card - you're tricking your opponent into playing one of their big threats, and punishing them in kind next turn even if Duskfallen Aviana is killed. This card is meant to punish players for playing greedy - I'd follow this up the next turn with a Naturalize and laugh at their salty tears as their precious Lich King or Tirion got nope'd. 

    This one is a sleeper card, I am laying you odds. It's a card designed to play chess with your opponent as he wonders if it's okay to slap his big threat down or if he should kill Duskfallen Aviana because they suspect that they are playing right in the Druid's hands if they kill off a big threat two turns sooner. I'd be an idiot for underestimating this card.

    Going to go out on a limb here and actually defend it. This card acts as a lure so that your opponent plays a fat minion on their next turn (say, Lich King, Tirion, Lyra the Sunshard, Obsidian Statue, Marin the Fox, Malygos, just for a few examples). They play their expensive card for free, and think that there's nothing you can do about it. Then you play Naturalize on their freebie minion and deny them one of their biggest threats.

    True, this would not be a wise card to play against, say, Cubelock or any Mage, but I do see a practical use for it. It's a bait card that makes your opponent think you are an idiot for letting them play a free minion, but gets turned on it's ear when you fish out a high priority minion and it's destroyed.

    In Wild, I can see this used as a combo with Poison Seeds, which is the Druid's best board clear, and fit even better in that format. You want to get high priority targets off the board (a full board of N'zoth deathrattles, both Ragnaros, Mal'ganis, Mysterious Challenger, Y'Shaaraj, early C'thun, as a few more examples).

    Don't consider a card junk just because it isn't a meta defining card in your eyes. Once again, the card is designed so your opponent thinks it's safe to play one of their big threats. It's meant to punish those greedy to fall for the zero cost when you have a means of dispatching the minion. Millhouse Manastorm this is not.
