"Lets leave that 1-1 and go face, rogue cant buff his minions anyway, right?" :)
10/10 card!
His?
Kinda wish this could give ANY minion poisonous. Imagine the shenanigans one could pull with Betrayal.
This could push Wild Pyromancer to hall of fame

Why? Same effect like Twisted Nether but as a combo of 3 cards (2+3+X mana). It's still good but I can't imagine to push board cleaner including your own minions as a candidate for HoF. Wild Pyromancer doesn't limit design space even with Adapt either this card.
I really don't know why there's so many people talking about Wild Pyromancer and Plague Scientist.... it will never work...
There's a huge difference between "dealing damages because of a trigger, a battlecry, a deathrattle or a spell" and "dealing damages because of a physical attack". Poison will only work with the second one !
Pyro adaptation into poisonous is a board clear and works. Please test it out before stating false facts.
OK OK, good to still discover strange hearthstone mechanics. A bit odd to me but ok ^^
So (just to be sure), if i follow this and add "Poisonous" to :
Wat
Wild Pyromancer + This + Some random spell = Twisting Nether
My gut reaction to this was, "It costs three cards, though. It's too gimmicky."
I'm thinking it over now and it just might work with something like Shadowstep. Bounce the Plague Scientist back and it's two cards. Not to mention Rogue is a class which rarely has trouble with card draw.
Sounds pretty good, however it is another mechanic that allows cheap removal of big minions what leads to more aggressive decks in the end.
or just use it on patches for instant removal
not bad
Probably only see play in arena. However, it could work with Knife Juggler in most water or aggro rogue for board clear since they have few AoE and a bunch of cheap minions (defias ringleader, argent squire,..)
Rogue already has a lot of competition at 3 and the stat-line on this is weak. If more healing comes and a 'control rogue' is pushed, then envenom weapon is clearly a better card, especially since you can pre, envenom, vancleef, backstab etc. Control rogue just needs taunts/healing not crap like this.
Combo: Turn your Stonetusk Boar into an Assassinate
What they didn't tell us was that the mammoth in Year of the Mammoth was actually just a really big boar
