So do you think woodcutter's axe or houndpaster shaw could be pulled?
I don't think they would, since they don't have Rush themselves. If you could, this could also fetch Leeching Poison and Spikeridged Steed, but I doubt it works that way.
Edit: Those would probably count as Rush Synergy cards, rather than Rush cards themselves.
well, it would pull the axe since it's a deathrattle card.
*Slaps own forehead* Derp, missed that with the focus on the Rush.
It doesn't work like that. Leeching Poison has the key word lifesteal in it, but it's not a card with Lifesteal. It just gives it. It wouldn't be drawn. Someone else asked about Frost Lich Jaina. She's also not a lifesteal card just because "lifesteal" is in her description. Won't be drawn. It says "card" because, now, there are weapons with deathrattle and lifesteal effects, and those would be included in this.
Edit: I forgot that we have spells with Lifesteal, too. Warlock spellstone is notable. And then there's Spirit Lash for priest, and Drain Soul also for warlock. I imagine those would be drawn. But still, you got the point. Simply having the keyword in its text doesn't qualify a card. Roll the Bones is another example. It draws cards with Deathrattle. "Cards", including Kingsbane, but it won't continue drawing after you draw your second copy of Roll the Bones just because it has Deathrattle in the text.
Good to know that big priest is not getting any support. Oh wait...
Before you realise that Barnes and Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound is rotating out next expansion.
but big priest doesn't want a big minion in the hand, rather cheating/making a copy out of the deck
No Barnes, run out of removal, cry.
7 mana 6/6 that draw up to 3 specific cards you really want or need later on game?
Sounds like a great deal.
Warlocks does need this card for the Lifesteal cards specifically and maybe even Voidlord too.
Countess Ashmore actually works with most classes with more varieties , unlike Curator that was more focused on the classes that had focus mainly on those races.
I could see this card get played in control decks
The fact that says CARD is pretty strong.
I like being able to tutor up my kingsbane or Valynr etc
Curator you will never leave me
Tutor in mtg is pretty strong just saying .
if this job with uther and tirion its op in controls decks paladin
can she fetch jaina? it is technically a life steal card.
There are also a few spells with lifesteal (Spirit Lash, the Warlock Spellstone, Drain Soul and Leeching Poison from Rogue), the Paladin Hero equips a lifesteal weapon ... and Warlock Hero also has liefsteal.
It says "card" and not only "minion" so id imagine so?
Some of the xards you nentioned do seem to have life steal but they don't have it in the cards' text, jaina has life steal in the card tezt.. but it's probably a strech and won't get included as cards that gain deathrattle on battlecry do not count for N'zoth.
this can not fetch Frost Lich Jaina, because the card itself does not have lifesteal; cards that have lifesteal and are drawn by this look like this: Spirit Lash, Drain Soul.
It won't draw cards like Leeching Poison or Deathaxe Punisher.
This legendary won't draw your elementals after you played FL Jaina
hmm makes sense, I thought cause it says card it could extend even more, but yeah probably means cards that directly have those traits
This says "card" and not "minion" or "spell", which means that if any card has one of the three keywords, Countess Ashmore WILL DRAW THAT CARD. She's pretty amazing in that way.
I personally think no, because Frost Lich Jaina doesn't have lifesteal itself, like how Spikeridged Steed isn't a Deathrattle card despite having the keyword. It should work with Lifesteal/Deathrattle Weapons and Lifesteal spells (such as Amethyst Spellstone and Spirit Lash, but probably not Leeching Poison)
