I need it golden. Even if it turns out bad the doll is so cute!
I crafted golden Tinyfin too …
Would go very well with Spiritsinger Umbra
Not really; once you destroy the other minion, you can't exactly destroy it again. Spiritsinger Umbra's main power comes not just from immediate deathrattle, but the fact that you can essentially use deathrattles twice. Either way, that's two cards, 7 mana for a remove, and nearly every class has cheaper removal.
Its a good combo, deystroy any minion for 3
For a mage this is essentially assassinate, Idk if it's better than existing mage removal though so they may not use it much. Other classes can use it similarly but require two cards (deal x damage minion / cheap damage spell).
If you're Frost Lich Jaina, it's 5 mana Assassinate that summons a Water Elemental. Which is pretty good.
The classes this works best in (Warlock and Warrior) already have powerful single target removal, so you would need a meta where two Execute isn't enough or Siphon Soul is too slow.
In most other classes it's often a 2-cards-to-remove-one tempo play, an Assassinate, or a 3 mana Corruption. All of which are mediocre but usable if you need hard removal that badly.
Yes but this is better than execute on minions with divine shield or 'can't be targeted by spells or hero powers' (if you were planning on using a 1 damage or whirlwind like effect on the minion) so that's pretty interesting.
Also you still have to take into account that your first two mentioned cards could not go into an odd deck, this might help these decks to get the removal they need.
I predicted the future a year ago
Haha nice one mate ;) (good choice of card art btw)
New TOY for control warlock
More hard removal for a midrange or control warrior. This is great with Animated Berserker
This is a “guaranteed” poisonous minion, your opponent can silence or transform or sap it or put a 0 attack taunt to stop it.
Could see play with Warrior as an extra Execute card. Maybe Paladin as you threaten to use buffs on it. Great with Warlock with Defile.
I agree. Hunter decks with Play Dead and Terrorscale Stalker could actually become insane. Neutral hard removal this strong is gonna be crazy.
The Deathrattle is only useful once though, Otterblade. A minion can't be destroyed twice.
But this card is much slower and it is exposed to all the silences and similiar. I don't think comparing it to pre-nerfed Tinkmaster Overspark is a good idea.
Edit: Also Tinkmaster Overspark transforms minions, so you don't have to deal with their deathrattles.
