I see this and i think of spell heavy malygos decks that draw you malygos and thaurissan!
Playable? 3/2 body is 2 mana, draw 2 cards is usually 3 mana. Discounted one due to the combo. But unlike most combos where it's a big tempo win if pushed out on a coin or 0/1 cost card, you actually /don't/ want to play this on curve for tempo.
With the new secret and this card, Mill rogue might be able viable.
2x Vanish, 2x Evasion, Valeera the Hollow to dodge huge boards. Then you have one Elven Minstrel in your deck to pull out Coldlight Oracle.
you can already do the increased coldlight drawing with the curator... the problem is that you also need bouncers and they are mostly minions so i think this card is not for mill. Also you are drawing 2 cards more than your opponent and in a lot of games that can make you lose. Evasion is going to make it viabe though for sure
Running this instead of Curator you're only drawing 1 extra card, not 2. And it's probably better than Curator because of how versatile it is. If you need a bouncer or coldlight, you can set yourself up to draw one. Same thing if you need a Vilespine on demand.
The fact that it only targets minions makes this very good in a deck that runs mostly spells and only a few key minions. I'm pretty sure running one will be correct.
You also might not have to mulligan as aggressively for Coldlight and can choose to keep defensive cards like Doomsayer and Tar Creeper against aggro.
Hmmmm
when i see this i think Coin , 3 mana 3/2 draw a card, which isnt terrible but compared to S1:7 Agent, its worse
might see play in aggro rogue but idk much else
A very powerful card, and an interesting way to balance draw in Rogue. As Miracle relies on drawing spells to go "Miracle" with Gadgetzan, and for their win condition, this doesn't further their win condition directly. However. it does thin the deck of draws that would be dead on a Miracle turn, thus making the deck more powerful over all. Seems like a very well-designed card.
2 mana worth of stats, but the effect is... not exactly as strong as you would think but still rather strong. It's really bad tempo and you cannot play it turn 4 most of the time. Could be good draw but rogue already has a decent amount of card draw/generation. Sure a 3/2 and draw 2 specific type of card is really good for 4 mana but with the combo I feel like it's questionable
You can coin this as the other combo cards on turn 3
It will see play... But the statline is underwhelming.
And I thought it was a druid card....
Well, seems like a good card in some specific decks, while not so good in other. Note the 'draw minions', this could be both n advantage and a disadvantage.
Imagine some kind of Miracle Rogue. Minions would include the Auctioneer, giving Miracle a combo piece. The downside, of course, is the need for a low amount of minions....
This is disgusting for Tempo rouge, particularly due to the fact that early reload is so difficult for them.
Will definitely see play in any Keleseth deck.
Kele card ResidentSleeper
So Arcane Intellect, but with a targeted draw, and a 1 mana 3/2. Hey. that's pretty good!
Not sure of its viability, but all the 1/1 token support via Sonya and the other releases this expansion might make this a good shenanigan card, can help with cylcing spells via Gadgetzan Auctioneer when you played most minions in a game
Great card for Rogue, Never bad with cards for drawing
Is this Doomsayer cross eyed cousin ..! ^^
The resemblance is uncanny .... I know, its (mildly) racist against Elf
