I guess it also brings out idiots, too.
We have two more expansions and the rest of the set before Dragon Soul rotates out. The will most definitely get more support, a card like that just doesnt go under the radar entirely. Not to mention the wild format.
Perfect secret againts the new echo mechanic Warpath
Oh hey, a Rodent of Unusual Size!
I'd definitely play this. Two Mana? The best outcome is it never triggers, and your opponent has to play around this all game. Every deck plays three cards in a turn at some point. Worst case you get a 6/6. Pretty sweet.
Now all we need is a card that synergizes with active secrets, and this will be amazing.
No, worst case is your opponent plays aggro and naturally doesn't play more than 2 cards per turn anyways. Completely ignores the secret and just bashes you in the face.
2 mana 6/6 eat that 4 mana 7/7!
Rat Trap is a pretty interesting card, and it seems like it should be very good - after all, it's kind of a 2 mana 6/6 with charge. That said, I think it will be too easy to play around almost by accident. For control decks, they're just not that likely to play a lot of cards each turn, and the same goes for some of the midrange decks we've seen lately (such as Spiteful Priest) are also designed to play a pretty small number of cards each turn. Aggro decks could still be vulnerable to this, but you might prefer a lot of small minions to one large one in those situations. If the meta is right for this kind of counterplay, Feels very strong, but very dependent on the meta.
This does not strike me as a card to use right away in decks, more as a "wait and lets see" for it seemed it was developed as a counter against some of the expansions new concepts and cards.
Secret: permanently leave a question mark over your head as an indication that you are questioning the addition of this card to the deck.
Seems like you haven't heard about the echo mechanic yet...?
King Mukla is a thing now?! :O
Whoa! Now that is some interesting interaction
But did I miss something? Neither the picture nor the name was announced in the upcoming reveal schedule..holy water should have been next?
I don't know about that :/
2 mana 6/6 PogChamp
