New Card Reveal - Zoobot
We've got a new card today thanks to a blog about The Menagerie. Say hello to the newest Mech to join Hearthstone, Zoobot!
Oh Blizzard.. why?
Official Post
Quote from BlizzardYou will find our next stop to be truly thrilling. Karazhan plays proud host to the world’s only privately run arcane zoo, featuring exotic—and dangerous—creatures from all manner of places, times, and dimensions. The Master spared no expense.
Right through this archway, please. Ah, here we are: The Menagerie! I will now allow the Curator to show you a few of our special exhibits while I attend to some matters of importance. Please be nice to the Curator. And please don’t touch anything! There will be ample opportunity for you to make a mess at the celebration later tonight.
Love Machine
Hello. This Curator is programmed for complete Menagerie management. It is this Curator’s duty to ensure the safety and well-being of all creatures within the Menagerie. The Menagerie spans an area greater than the geometric volume of this tower, and contains a constantly variable number of exhibits. Due to a large number of exhibits and extra-dimensional spaces, this Curator employs the services of several less advanced assistants to ensure 100% containment.On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your enjoyment? Please repeat your response. Thank you. This Curator will attempt to elevate your level of enjoyment with a tour of the Menagerie. As we tour the Menagerie, please comply with all gallery protocols to ensure that no creatures go free or come to harm. Menagerie Tour Program version 4.7.7 is now online.
It’s Raining Meat
Many creatures in the Menagerie generate values for excitement greatly exceeding zero. Your tour coincides with this large predator’s feeding time. This Curator will now provide it with the large quantity of food it requires. Warning: Please step out of the meat splash zone. Oh, no. You have failed to exit the splash zone. Please allow this Curator to hand you a towel.
You are experiencing elevated blood pressure and adrenaline levels. Diagnosis: Excitement! This Curator is glad you are having a good time!
Le Imp?
This portion of the Menagerie is empty and awaiting new exhibits. We will pass through this gallery into a region with populated exhibits. Please repeat your query? Your query cannot be processed. Error: the Imp you have indicated is not allowed in the Menagerie, therefore it does not exist. The displays are guaranteed to be safe. Please move along. Menagerie Tour Program is shutting down.
Moroes has returned. This Curator will now escort you out of the Menagerie.
Are you satisfied with your tour?
Oh, your tour was cut short? You say the Curator was acting strangely? Well, the Master is clearly too occupied to renew its enchantments right now. I’m quite sure it will be fine, though I do admit that the Menagerie is not to my taste. I’ve often warned the Master against maintaining extra-dimensional spaces and extremely large, voracious creatures. He claims that they’re important to his research and that the Curator has everything totally under control. Hrmph. Under control indeed! I say that Imps, ah, find a way.
Well, we’re all the way up here, so I don’t see the harm in giving you a quick peek at the Spire. It will be a nice treat for you, since party guests will not be allowed to enter it tonight.
I have reminded you to consult your invitations, haven’t I?

I would've preferred:
"If you control a Beast, a Murloc and a Dragon, give them all +1/+1"
New meta: Zoolock! GG!
Looks strong to me. With 3 tribes on it you almost certainly have something to buff which makes it a least a 4/4 body for 3 -- and a mech at that. Taking your pick of 3 tribes should even be functional in arena.
Thanks Blizzard, with all these new cards I can finally play my Mech Beast Dragon Murloc Deathrattle C'Thun Reno Taunt Warrior! What a time to be alive
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!
Clearly adding Pirates to that would have pushed it out of viability?
That would actually be a thing
I hope you have N'Zoth in that deck !
Naaah, the Pirate Synergy in Warrior obviously isn't quite there yet, and with Pirates I would'nt be able to beat Unicorn Priest anymore.
I can see this card being played in Egg Druid. Turn 1 Dragon Egg turn 2 Dire Wolf Alpha (dragon egg trades into something) and turn 3 Zoobot. Or maybe Egg druid will run Bilefin Tidehunter so they can have some murloc too. Overall a 3 mana 3/3 is borderline bad, but if you already have some minions on the board it becomes a 3 mana 4/4, 5/5 or even 6/6. The card might see play in my opinion.
Maybe Blizzard is just showing the bad cards so we spend all our gold in packs or in arena runs and when the adventure comes out they reveal the good, meta-defining cards and we buy the whole thing for 20$
Or Maybe the adventure will just be pretty bad.
The real question is where's the murloc in the artwork?
One of those little cute guys must've eaten it. My money's on the Tiger.
Take a look closer!
under the tiger... and... nope, I don't see shit...
I think people are selling this card way too short. Shattered Sun Cleric was once 3/3 and saw tons of play. If this hits even one target it's already better, and if it hits two or more targets the card is insane. And it's not difficult to get the value if you put even a bit of synergy; you don't even have to run murlocs, and if you do, there's always Sir Finley Mrrgglton.
I won't lie, first time I saw this I read it as Zubat. Must be playing too much Pokemon GO.
Kind of silly for people to have such strong opinions about something when they haven't released all the cards yet. I think it's pretty obvious that there are going to be more cards that have beast/murloc/dragon/mech synergy, and with the right new cards it could be alright. At the very least, it will get people to mess around with interesting new decks and ways to build decks. Not every card has to be a constructed all star. The stats on this card are really not that weak, and it's pretty decent if this hits more than one minion.
Future: Murstgon decks!
Not really as much of a power creep from shattered sun as you think. It requires you to put these races in your deck, and as you have already pointed out, this will be easier for some classes more than others.
However, I for one am excited for cards that support midrange decks like these.
