It's a common, why all the hate? Commons are only designed to be so good. If it were any higher of a rarity then yeah, this card would be horrible, but as it is it offers some sort of rebuke to an aggro deck. As a common it's not terrible because there is a price to pay to use the card which is in line with it's budget for a common.
In constructed theorycrafting, rarity only matters for legendaries, because you can only have one. Nobody cares about the rarity outside of that because rarity is worthless when discussing how good the card is. You could make this an Epic and it would be just as good/bad. It doesn't matter.
Except not everyone cares about Constructed. In arena, this card is pretty good for being a common.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Basically the overload equivalent to Ancient of Blossoms, which isn't great, but still pretty good. I don't know if this is good enough as a tempo play, but it could definitely save your ass when used as a late-game cheapo taunt.
Evolve buff but anything else no..
I rather play Tar which is mostly the same without the overload
Let me change your mind.
Behold Arena Mages doing their Arena things, winning games because they got Drakkari Defender from Faceless Summoner
you know that faceless summoner was removed from arena, right?
Props for being bitter about a genuine issue (i.e. class imbalances in arena) but since Faceless Summoner was removed from arena drafts late 2016 there is basically no way this could happen.
Not even through unstable portal? Kappa
Unstable portal is wild, arena is standard.
overload 3 is way too much for those stats
maybe if they lower the Overload to 2
bad overload card - checked
Wow. What a Trash-Card. The only good thing about it, is that this is ups the Evolve-Pool a bit.
Playing this on Curve is soooo Bad... then u have 1 Mana on turn 4, wich let u do, basically nothing.
I would always prefer to play Feral Spirit instead of this. Here's why:
1.) Feral Spirit will never rotate out of Standard.
2.) Feral Spirit is basically a 5 Mana 4/6 (~5/5) wich i 1 Stat below the average 5 Mana 5/6 Pit Fighter Stats.
Drakkari Defender is a 6 Mana 2/8 (~5/5). so you pay an additional Mana and worsen your curve for basically the same Stats as Feral Spirit.
3.) If you play Feral Spirit on Curve, you can still use:
-> Your Heropower, -> Jade Claws, ->Flametongue Totem, etc. on Turn 4!
Much better Curve then with Drakkari Defender.
Sen'jin Shieldmasta, Taz'dingo, buddy, you became a Death Knight too?
Dat's racist... Not every troll is a Taz'dingo mon.
This card is something that Thrall, Deathseer wants to get from totems
*edit* my previous comment was pretty dumb. what i meant to say was: this probably won't see be included in any deck, nice buff to anything that gives you a 3 mana minion
what the fuck are you seeing
