You play it to enable brawl or whirlwind the token
It also curves into Ravaging Ghoul.
Pretty sure you dont want play it like that tho
Tortollan exist so kibler, savjs and toast can play it on stream.
Yeah, I'm just seeing a bunch of scenarios where you ether just gave your opponent a bunch of free tokens, or spent 2 cards making a worse Tar Creeper.
Using it with Brawl could be useful though.
Dirty rat is much better for that and I'm almost certain that you don't want both.
may be not? the quest legendaries also have them but they aren't collectible
For 2 mana you are giving your opponent too much board IMO. Unless you are going to immediately follow up with Whirlwind Ghoul or actual Whirlwind or whatever, this seems like too much to give up early even for a realtively huge 2/6. Especially if shaman continues to be good you are gonna get punished by Flametounge or something. It just seems like A LOT to give up on 2 mana.
The paladin buff might be playable. A 6 mana 2/6 Taunt is not great, but if you have even a 1/1 to play it on you get a 3/7 taunt that drops a 2/6 taunt. That's pretty ok for 8 mana, I think? It finally gives Paladin some way to avoid a board sweep which they haven't really had since Belcher rotated. Tirion is great and all but a cheaper alternative would be nice. Only complaint is that this can't be played with that new Legendary that makes everything 3/3.
The 8 mana card is just for memes. No one will ever use it competiively.

You use that minion to trigger brawls or MCT. Perhaps stronger than public defender for buffing purposes.
They've been pretty trolly with the card reveals. They reveal a card, many people assume it sucks and has no purpose. 2 cards later and it's revealed that maybe that card is good.

Would make since, they normally leave out the stats when it summons a collectable card.
I think Spikerided Steed has a lot of potential.

I think the stegodon buff card is even better at first glance because if you're running multiple buffs, this thing spawns a target for your next buff.
Good thing silence is not heavy in the game anymore. Mostly a priest thing since standard came out. Devolve could be rough, but not as rough as silence if you don't flood the board with too many buffs.

It's another card that doesn't address paladin's issue to compete on board. If it were a downsized effect for less mana we'd be talking.
Sap fucks this pretty hard.
Just need some good low cost minions imo to make it viable. It's no use to put the buff on a big minion, because u need to invest too much mana on a minion which simply gets Hex'd or Sap'd.
Yep. Same thing except +1/+2 for two mana would be way more of what paladin needs.
Four mana Belcher with -1/-1 as a class card. Easy peasy.

Yeah but if I worried about beating rogue with paladin, I'd probably play a different class first. Plus sap has been in a downtrend with the more recent top tier lists.

Yeah there are none. I guess Meanstreat Marshall could become decent when you run a ton of buffs.
I'm salivating.
can't beat them all, rogue is just built to wreck paladin, from hero power to sap and everything in between. That's nothing new, it's good for the game for classes to have clear weaknesses. just look at shaman when they don't, that is what happens.
problem with paladin is that right now it's not particularly strong at anything and having bunch of good buff cards doesn't mean much when you can't play them.

Bear trap
Bear Trap says 3/3 Bear with Taunt.
He's saying it's like Troggzor, which says "summons a Burly Rockjaw Trogg", where it gives the name of the card without giving info like stats.

I am 99% sure they wanted a troll pun for tortollan.

Spirit Echo is interesting. Shaman's card draw sucks and they lose Drakes so I could see this card potentially working. It's nice with Jade and flat out broken with Finja. Getting more and more obvious that the latter is going to have to eat a nerf at some point.
Spikeridged Steed is okay but man that's a lot of mana to spend. It might see play but I don't see it doing much to pull Paladin up from the basement.
Cornered Sentry is garbage. Blizzard needs to just give up on Taunt Warrior, especially when they're printing shit like this card and Public Defender.
Tortollan Primalist is what it is. I don't really understand why it's costed so high and statted so poorly.

Tortollan seemed like total trash but I guess the idea is to RNG something like flamestrike that can only hit one way, doesn't seem consistent enough to really work out. I like it more than that Mage yogg card since you atleast see and know what the spell will be so you won't randomly have something like Astral happen, and it could make a big swing since the spell itself is 0 mana but...eh. Too many good single target removal spells like Fireball could just totally fuck the game if you hit yourself or even this minion, you would basically exclusively want board clears or draw. Draw seems too slow though.
I actually like the Pally card. Shows how shit Power Word: Tentacles is since it's 1 mana more, has taunt and you get another 2/6 taunt body out of it. But the issue will still be if you even have the board and something to buff. Not sure how that'll work out.
Warrior card seems alright too if you go more whirlwind heavy.

The quest is cool but very little of the class has been revealed.
I'm really curious on what the priest legendary will be.

Shaman is gonna summon finja. Next turn get 1-2 warleaders + 1 other murloc. Play another murloc from hand. Spirit echo, get 4 murlocs back. Play those. Finish quest. Play 8/8 murloc and generate a hand full of murlocs.
But who are we kidding, you died 2 turns after finja was played.
Also, it would be awesome if blizzard delivered on some more spell power minions. Pretty sure they said they'd be coming since azure drake rotates but I don't think we've gotten a single one.
And while I am making demands, they should give rogue a spellpower 3 minion. k thx

One way they can print better spelldamage cards is to limit the bonus damage to minions only. This way you can't just kill your opponent but it enables a more playable tempo combo oriented card.
Rogue is going to need some good spell damage minion, fan and backstab are a lot worse otherwise. So much one bloodmage can do.

I think they stated already 0 pirates in the new set. Doubtful for mechs too.
Expect a lot of beasts and elementals though.
Poor ole Gorilla bot. :/
Dragons whilst they have a few in classic will drastically drop off when the year of the mammoth kicks in.
