hope its not your last card, otherwise its deader than varian is in lore
The way they worded this card is horrible. No excuses for poorly worded cards like this from a billion dollar company.
because people are downvoting me all the time, because they can't beat me in ladder.
I'll laugh hysterically tho if the other dude was right and this does draw 2 Rush minions, and easily gains Divine Shield, Rush and Taunt that way. it would also be a WAY stronger card that way.
Like I said, the wording can go both ways, and this card wasn't play tested in a video yet, nor confirmed by Blizzard.
Potential draw 3 for a 7/7 taunt divine shield rush. Awkward to use. I assume it won't count creatures that have both, like drawing a Tirion will not give both taunt and divine shield and each draw is checked independently? Could cause ordering issues potentially. Especially if everyone is counting on Taelan Fordring being their divine shield card, since it could get drawn second and brick the divine shield draw.
Draw a rush minion to gain rush, is one sentence.
Repeating that sentence for taunt will replace both rush words.
So you obviously draw rush, taunt and DS. I don't even know how this is confusing to people...
Go to the barn to clean the barn. Repeat for the kitchen. Are you going to the barn to clean the kitchen? No.
This card is very good, you have the possibility of drawing 3 minions and having rush + divine shield serves you for a trade in that turn, I like it
seems like it's clear that it draws three conditional on you having those archtypes in your deck. pretty powerful card if you run all three types of minions.
To those who are reading the card as drawing two Rush minions - use some common sense. While the wording is admittedly ambiguous and can be interpreted both ways, from a flavour/symmetry standpoint it makes zero sense for Varian to gain Taunt and Divine Shield from drawing Rush minions. And we already have precedent for this type of effect from Corpsetaker.
Obviously when Blizzard wrote "repeat for X and Y", it meant draw X minion-type and gain X quality + draw Y minion-type and gain Y quality.
meh filler card.- just good in paladin i think....
to get the best out of it.
Great card nuff said.
I think it actually draws Rush, Divine Shield and Taunt minions to gain those attributes. The wording is heckly confusing but thats what I am understanding from it.
If not then your right, it draws 2 rush minions where first draw gives Rush, then the second Rush minion draw gives Varian Divine Shield & Taunt.
I'm also feeling like it means to suggest you draw minions with 3 different keywords, and he gains keywords based off of what you draw.
It is not super crystal clear with the wording, but I think that's the idea behind it, otherwise, this should just be a warrior card, right?
Could also be a Paladin, the Rush part is heavy on the side of Warrior and the Divine Shield is more on the Paladin. Taunt on the other is awkward for both but I think these two are probably going to be the most influential classes for this legendary.
They could have written this any other way and it would make more sense. But I'm pretty sure it has the combined effects of Corpsetaker (with different key words) and Countess Ashmore
Okay so this card is a bad Siamat, granted most times you're wanting to do divine shield/rush anyway and you get the bonus taunt but not sure if that makes it better since you pay the extra mana for taunt and +1/+1. Not to mention you have to build a deck around it to a degree for such a small payoff. They really needed to add windfury potential to this to make it interesting.
Siamat doesn't tutor 3 cards. I don't think you've thought this through.
Don't cry at me man blame Blizzard how they horribly worded this card there is several ways to reword it so it's more clear.
This looks like it will probably see play in warrior and paladin, as they are more likely to get the most value out of all three keywords. But it certainly could be used elsewhere...
Neutral draw on top of that.
My updated rating 5 STARS. Because it'll make Rush Warrior which is already Tier 1 completely busted. Remember this only requires and draws Rush minions.
May I ask why this comment is downvoted so massively? Is it because of people thinking that the statement is untrue, or because people don't like Rush Warrior getting another formidable addition...?
