Honest card text: "Deal 5 damage to an enemy minion, draw a combo card from your deck"
this. She is Starfirethat doesnt have the benefits of being a spell
why not mention Potion of Polymorph?
wow she bad!...and shes bad lol
Yay new pirates, and it’s a good one too!
Wow, i love it already :) YaHARRR
i really dig her. she kind of enables an alternative to auctioneer draw engine with elven minstrel
True ZBOZZ or draw her with Elven Minstrel :P I think Keleseth Rogue will come back and this card fits well here.
That's what I thought too Man...but everyone seems to be seeing it only in miracle decks
Even in miracle decks I think people are missing that you can "target" your burst cards like Cold Bloods and Eviscerates rather than having to set up a hand of spells and dig for them with Auctioneer (and still have the chance of them being towards the bottom of your deck).
Yeah, draw tutor is never a bad thing i would love to draw Cold Blood , Eviscerate (in non-keleseth deck) , SI:7 Agent , Edwin VanCleef , Plague Scientist , Elven Minstrel , Vilespine Slayer all the good stuff...
All you have to do is compare this card to the new priest card which is also 6 mana and you can truly see what a joke it is. And by "it" I mean Blizzard.
Let's see. Eviscerate, SI:7 Agent, Perdition's Blade, Edwin VanCleef and maybe new combo cards in set.
I think it will see play at some point. Maybe now maybe later... Dealing 5 damage to opponent's tempo and drawing a specific card looks great to me.
Unplayable in competitive. By turn 6, most minions have 3 attack or more, so essentially the effect is like Starfire to draw a combo card. But as a rush minion, it cannot go face or attack through taunt, so it is even worse than Starfire.
I think Blizzard realized that the average power level in year of the mammoth was higher than they wanted. So they might be consciously bringing it down this year. Since they know the decreased power level might affect profit, they are making this 50+20 sale to promote. I am not buying unless I am impressed.
Starfire can't be played on an empty board for tempo. This also draws SPECIFIC cards from your deck and benefits from minion buffs which are much more common than spell power.
I don't think it's great, but calling it a worse starfire is very short sighted.
If you want to play 6 mana 5/3 "FOR TEMPO" on empty board, go ahead. I'm sure you will have fun in arena.
And star fire does nothing on an empty board. You missed my point entirely.
This is not just 6 mana deal 5 damage, it can also act as a minion that forces a response from an opponent.
Im not saying it's great, I'm not saying anything about arena, I'm not 6 mana 5/3 is good. Im also not saying that this card is comparable to starfire because it obviously isn't.
Okay I might be able to accept that a ghostly pirate can be found in Northrend (i.e. Phantom Freebooter). But this? A pirate in a forest this far inland is absurd. There is no reason for this type of minion to be printed in this expansion lore-wise.
