Fuck this card.

Fuck it right off.

Zoo.
Face Hunter.
Midrange Hunter.
Maybe even replaces Coghammer in Secret Pally.

Combos with Haunted Creeper, Nerubian Egg, Mad Scientist, and Piloted Shredder.

You don't even lose a stat point for this shit.

Fuck right off.

Might be a Rogue card

 

[squidyj]

I've been playing a control rogue with anub'arak to reasonable success and I might try it out there.

 

[toddhunter]

raptor looks like a rogue card and rogue runs like no deathrattles, maybe shredders or maaybe a single belcher. that's it.

It looks a card made for this Nerubian rogue they like to push that never is going to work.

Yep, it goes from an insane card to an attempt to make people try another type of deck for Rogue...which isn't really going to happen.

Oh well, it was an exciting 4 minutes.

 

[CoolOff]

I've been playing a control rogue with anub'arak to reasonable success and I might try it out there.

So that would put the raptor in your hand and spawn a 4/4? Hmm...

 

[G.ZZZ]

Damn Brann is actually good, 2/4 for 3 is a good statline for that effect. Blastmage is the obvious fit since it's 4.

The 2/1 viper with deattouch is still pretty bad i think. The 3/4 that copy a deathrattle is broken if it is neutral. If it is rogue, it's still one of the best cards in the game, but it doesn't have a clear application.

The 3/2 beast with a deathrattle ping is also stupid i hope it's not neutral. Druid maybe? EDIT: it appears it's really a neutral. No shame in power creeping zzzz.

 

[ZealousD]

I hope it is a Rogue card. Otherwise that shit ain't funny. Seriously game quitting stuff if it is a neutral.

I mean, pairing it with Dreadsteed is funny. But nothing else.

 

[squidyj]

So that would put the raptor in your hand and spawn a 4/4? Hmm...

if you get it out onto anub'arak. there's also belchers and shredders in the deck.


Also I would love it if feign death hunter became a thing.

 

[sibarraz]

Hopefully it is a Rogue card. Otherwise... what are they thinking?

But even then, why make the card for the class that can use it least anyway?

I had seen an interesting concept with rogue playing nerubian eggs and haunted creeper, which are buffed with abusive sergant and that 1 mana spell that gives 2/4 damage, imo this card will allow that archetype to be viable.

The monkey stone seems like garbage, no? Seems to me that a hand full of legendaries is not as good as it sounds, because it doesn't offer enough flexibility.

 

[toddhunter]

Yeah it sucks. A lot of legendaries are kind of crappy, even if you do get to trigger it.

 

[EmiPrime]

New Hearthstone expansion and LOTV within 24 hours of each other?

Next week can't come soon enough!

 

[Portugeezer]

Definitely garbage for competitive play, but if you get good RNG and the right legendaries your hand could become amazing.

Emperor + Monkey seems like a potential combo though.

 

[inky]

Monkey Stone will be fun when it happens in a Voltron kinda way, but that's it.

 

[gutshot]

Yeah, it's a trash card.

 

[squidyj]

golden monkey terrifies me, I never want to see that card ever. the last thing I need is to have all my answers replaced with random legendaries and my curve all fucked up.

 

[Parshias7]

I think they absolutely will. Either the trap hits a minion, which stops you from slowing down the Hunter's board; or it hits your face for 5 damage, which is cheaper than Skill Command (or even "free" with Mad Scientist.) Either way, the Hunter wins. The only decks that will negate this very well are token decks.

I mean, I guess you could not use your hero power, but then the Hunter is gaining value every turn you don't as well.

I was referring to the hat.

 

[Dahbomb]

Looking at potential Battle cries that actually get benefit from the double trigger, here's the list (relevant minions):

Darnassus Aspirant (double ramp)

Glaivezooka
Houndmaster
Ram Wrangler

Spellslinger
Blastmage

Quartermaster (get an additional +2/+2 on your recruits)

Shadowbomber (not relevant
Wyrmwrest Agent (get another +1)

Goblin Autobarber

Tuskarr Totemic
Neptulon (although I am not sure if you get overloaded twice)

Cruel taskmaster
Shield Maiden
Screwjank Clunker
Iron Juggernaut
Varian

Abusive Sergeant
Flame Juggler
Lance Carrier
All the Bombers
Coldlight Oracle
Earthen Ring Farseer
Coldlight Seer
Tinkertown
MCT (if they have 5 minions on the board)
Dark Iron Dwarf
Shattered Sun Cleric
Defender of Argus
Enhanco Mechano
Gormok the Impaler
Kezan Mystic
Antique Healbot
Azure Drake
Twilight Drake
Clockwork Knight
Captain Greenskin
Stampeding Kodo
Grand Crusader
Dr Balanced

All the Warlock battle cries aren't relevant to be triggered twice (most have a very negative effect).


Bolded the cards that would get a massive boost from this card.

 

[Nirolak]

The monkey stone seems like garbage, no? Seems to me that a hand full of legendaries is not as good as it sounds, because it doesn't offer enough flexibility.

It's a Timmy card for people who want to play silly decks.

 

[timmy]

Glad they finally wised up and buffed Dr. Boom

 

[EmiPrime]

Blizzard just really likes Trolden videos.

This game is one step removed from having an actual epic sax card.

 

[timmy]

Hey! Not cool!

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Well with the Murloc Tinyfin and Sir Finley I guess Murloc Knight and Neptulon are getting hit with pseudo nerfs.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Great, we needed to nerf Shamans a little more.

 

[Nirolak]

Hey! Not cool!

Timmy is real. :O

Have you won with a Gahz'rilla + Voltron combo deck yet?

 

[Tubie]

I want Thijs to win just because he's the only one that brought a Priest to this.

 

[timmy]

Timmy is real. :O

Have you won with a Gahz'rilla + Voltron combo deck yet?

Today my Confessor Paletress summoned a second Confessor Paletress, if that counts.

 

[sibarraz]

We still need to see what sir finley does, at least it seems to be something that will synergy with murloc decks

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Anyone know when the new card back from the Blizzcon virtual ticket unlocks?

 

[Dahbomb]

We still need to see what sir finley does, at least it seems to be something that will synergy with murloc decks

It just discovers a random hero power.

 

[irfaanator]

L.

where the blackwing corruptor. 3 damage x2

 

[Professor Lich]

Monkey Stone will be fun when it happens in a Voltron kinda way, but that's it.

Just what I've always wanted, FIVE LOREWALKER CHOS.

Can't wait.

 

[Dahbomb]

Yeah that with Fire Elemental too.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

What I'm curious about in terms of Brann's synergy with Fire Elemental/Blackwing Corruptor is if you'll be able to choose two targets to hit or if all six damage goes to one target.

 

[Dahbomb]

What I'm curious about in terms of Brann's synergy with Fire Elemental/Blackwing Corruptor is if you'll be able to choose two targets to hit or if all six damage goes to one target.

I would imagine it just triggers on a single target twice. Like Alex.

 

[Raxus]

It warms my heart seeing patron back in the game.

 

[ZealousD]

I actually feel like a card like Elven Archer is pretty relevant with Brann.

 

[Dahbomb]

I actually feel like a card like Elven Archer is pretty relevant with Brann.

It probably is honestly I didn't list every single battle cry in there. I am still waiting to see how the exact mechanics work on it.

 

[irfaanator]

damn pingpingho alternate hero portrait for shaman

 

[sibarraz]

It just discovers a random hero power.

Lol I read discover a new murloc.

Maybe this is the great buff that shaman needed

 

[FeD.nL]

It just discovers a random hero power.

Buff to murloc shaman. Seriously allowing you to choose out of 3 other starting hero powers instead of your RNG hero power is pretty nice.

 

[ZealousD]

Getting the warlock hero power with murloc Shaman or Paladin would actually be pretty insane, lol.

Priest or Warrior... Not so much.

 

[Officerrob]

Does it let you choose, or just give you one?

 

[Papercuts]

I actually feel like a card like Elven Archer is pretty relevant with Brann.

Novice engineer too. 2 mana 1/1, draw two cards.

 

[Professor Lich]

Random note about the Murloc Legendary I can't spell, it says basic hero power, so I would assume that whatever you get your hero power re-rolled into can be buffed by Justicar.

Not that you can really plan anything with that but it's an interesting bit of synergy.

 

[FeD.nL]

Getting the warlock hero power with murloc Shaman or Paladin would actually be pretty insane, lol.

That was what I was thinking

Does it let you choose, or just give you one?

Well the description of discover is: Discover, brings up 3 cards and allows you to pick from one.

So I guess it brings up 3 hero powers.

 

[Shiver]

I wonder how skulker's battlecry interacts with brann.

 

[squidyj]

I wonder how skulker's battlecry interacts with brann.

i think it's not going to work
it'll do one round and then they'll all be damaged and it won't trigger

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I wonder how skulker's battlecry interacts with brann.

It will fuck Shielded Minibots, for one thing

 

[ZealousD]

It will fuck Shielded Minibots, for one thing

And Haunted Creepers.

 

[Super Nothing]

I wonder how skulker's battlecry interacts with brann.

It should only trigger once. I don't know if it would hit deathrattle summons or if they'd spawn after the second battlecry attempts to trigger, though.
