I'm so sorry for Allie having to do so much effort to try and sell this card for us.
You can see how she is having to try really hard to look interested/excited about the card
Either way, I think this card can be okay/played but nothing that great
I genuinely think this is a realy unprofessional move on Blizzard's part. You use popular streamers to reveal cards and then you just give some of them cards that are clearly packfiller with nothing interesting or new about them?
That's like giving Kripp Snowflipper Penguin to reveal, it's just lame.
Blizzard gives every significant card that they think will make an impact to streamers. They didn't give Snowflipper Penguin to anybody, they revealed it alongside all the others in the reveal stream. Blizzard believes this card is good (which sometimes is pretty pathetic), as they do with every other card they give to streamers. Besides, it's nice that they give recognition to the Hearthstone community.
Allow me to continue. This card is VERY GOOD, only in a deck like Aggro Druid. two one drops are generally stronger and more mana efficient than a single two drop (and in some cases, a three drop). Most tempo decks, when they run out of steam, don't mind spending 5 mana for a potentially very threatening board, especially in topdeck mode. This is three minions in one card (not to mention three brokeback 1 drop minions), I would DEFINITELY replace at least one three drop to fit this into an Aggro Druid.
a pretty fair card in arena. turn 3 minion with a 2/1 body is pretty bad, but in the mid/late game, there are some turns where u could squeeze in a 1 drop; could also activate synergies for rogue later in the game as well. there are probably decks that could maybe make use of this such as a deck that uses Hagatha and maybe some rogue decks since cards like firefly were included to activate combos.
This card is not a trash. It might see play in decks which utilize from cheap minions/handsize/tokens and also in arena (even though i'm not the arena specialist, so I am open to your opinion).
However what I wanted to say is that this is possibly the most interesting reveal video I've seen so far. Great job Allie!
Igneous Elemental
Agatha synergies incoming !
Murmuring elemental, and the new shaman hero card could be a lot of fun with cards like this and stonehill defender.
The kind of card that makes me wish I'd randomly opened The Marsh Queen, but would never, ever entice me to actually craft The Marsh Queen.
Anyhow, its at least an interesting pack filler. Compare to the 1/1 for 3 who summoned a 2/3 crocodile in Kobolds and Catacombs. This is probably better (stronger synergies), and certainly a lot more interesting, and with the potential to make really fun things happen. 1 drops aren't super exciting, but random cards can do unexpected things. Random into Righteous Protector to hold off your opponent's Deathwing. Random into Crystalline Oracle into something really crazy from your opponent's deck. Most pack filler cards can't make crazy things happen. This can. Is it going to show up in decks? Doesn't seem too likely. But I think it's probably not so bad in Arena, and at least it wasn't boring.
don't. I tried Marsh Queen for the last two expansions (I even crafted it, just for the fun aspect)
The deck is FRUSTRATINGLY clunky and relies way too much on draw RNG....on both sides. BAsically you need to draw like a god and your opponent can't or else you just lose in the first 4 turns. When it eventually works it's pretty sweet, but it so rarely does.
Also, this card won't change a thing seeing how Igneous Elemental exists and never helped Quest Hunter much. What Quest HUnter really needs is a 1-drop with Echo. However, this would have to be a hunter classs card (or else we get Quest ROgue spam again) and Hunter already got a cheap Echo minion, so I don#t see them getting another one. We'll see I guess.
All I have to say is that playing a 2/1 for 3-mana in Quest Hunter is NOT viable.
I mean, there's viable, then there's "I'll play a few silly games in Casual mode when I have a quests to earn gold."
And while I think Battlecry would probably be better than Deathrattle, and random 1-drops better than vanilla 1/2s, I've got no illusions that it'll be a top tier deck.
best case scenario;
add 2 Fire Fly s which produces 2 Flame Elementals and Hunter's quest almost done with 1 deck slot.
There are a lot of powerful 1 drops... maybe less with the rotation, I can't tell if it will see play
5 Mana 4-3... trash tier.
more like a five mana 5/4, but still seems underwhelming
You should see the reveal with analysis before commenting, srsly...
Also there's a lot of value 1 drops, and most class one drops are good. The only really bad ones are like Murloc Tidecaller. Which is still fine.
At worst it's a 3 cost 2 cards for one that gives you a body. In decks that care about 1 drops that's decent. But I think Quest Hunter will need some actual good value one drops to see play.
The card itself is bad in constructed. Okay in arena.
this card never see play. T R A S H
