This is a translation. The wording may change.

Pretty interesting card. However, this is the new nightmare drop from a shredder.

*EDIT:* Saw this on reddit, just imagine playing two of these and then wailing soul.

I'm not even caring about silencing this card. Worst case they remove it and it was just a 2/3 for 2 which is reasonably. For any turn it survives you get a half innervate which seems good.

Of course the comparison that makes it seem not so good is that it is very similar to pint-sized summoner, but this card does have better stats and you can play spells off the extra mana instead of just minions.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1127 on:** August 02, 2015, 12:54:57 PM »

Not to mention a 2/2 body is considerably worse than 2/3.

I fully expect this card to see play. Drop it on turn 2, play a shredder on turn 3.

Ancient Watcher druid might return as well.

I have been thinking of making a self-silence deck, but once this card comes out I definitely will.

Best comments about it so far:

"I can finally Shield Slam face."

"Won't be played, flame lance is perfect counter Kappa."

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1130 on:** August 02, 2015, 06:02:23 PM »

I don't think Wrathguard's stats are good enough for that drawback. It's less predictable than Flame Imp, and you definitely need to be much more careful with it in the late game. But I'm interested to see how this card does.

Probably not a card you want to buff...

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1131 on:** August 02, 2015, 11:49:04 PM »

It's one of the few 2 drops that can trade with the influx of 3 mana 3/4 minions. That alone makes it worth considering.

Shado-Pan Cavalry - Combo: +3 attack

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1133 on:** August 03, 2015, 02:56:51 PM »

This is certainly a unique card, not immediately trash tier like argent watchman, but it doesn't fit into any current deck types.

I guess it's similar to getting a 3 mana volcanic drake?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1134 on:** August 03, 2015, 04:51:53 PM »

The Cavalry is going to be pretty good in arena. Even though combo on a 5 mana card is often hard to pull off, base stats of 3/7 are still pretty good for a 5 mana card. In the event that you get a 5 mana Boulderfist, that is excellent value.

In constructed, I hope this slow but solid card helps at least a tiny bit to make control Rouge decks viable, but I doubt he will see play.

Or a buffed Goblin Sapper.

There aren't many good cards with spell damage for Master of Ceremonies to work with. Bloodmage Thalnos, Malygos, Azure Drake, and Velen's Chosen are the only ones currently being used. Soot Spewer is potentially usable, and Shaman can sometimes get you a spell damage totem, but Priest and Mage are still the most likely classes to have a spell damage minion out.

I don't think that's enough to justify Master of Ceremonies, but if more good spell damage minions come out in this set (which I am betting they will), then this may be viable.

Choose one: Charge or + 1/+1 and Stealth. (As usual, wording may change)

Pretty solid cards for druid so far.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1136 on:** August 04, 2015, 01:23:16 PM »

Battlecrying adventurer?

Battletaker?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1137 on:** August 04, 2015, 05:40:46 PM »

The Druid of the Sword(?) looks like a pretty excellent card. That will definitely be an auto-include in most combo decks, since it's good as either another stealth to increase the combo damage or a card to buff immediately for more impact with Savage Roar. Obviously far above average in arena as well.

Crowd Favorite is unlikely to be good enough in constructed. In arena, it is not as good as a Yeti because you can't play it to the same effect on turn 4, but it will still be at least average. Not too excited about this one.

Master of ceremonies is going to be really good in Mage and rogue

Its too unreliable. Those decks are going to run only a handful of spell damage cards, and really only 1 below 3 mana, and thalnos is likely to die the turn after he's played. In most cases, this card is going to be a 3 mana 4/2 which is plain not good.

New game mechanic! New ranked rewards! New cards!

More translated card reveals as well:

browarod · « **Reply #1141 on:** August 05, 2015, 10:22:15 AM »

There are like 11 new cards in that link so let's not stretch the thread by posting them all.

But seriously Shaman so needed Ancestral Knowledge as their drawing is so inconsistent.

Regarding the Joust mechanic, isn't everyone just going to run Molten Giant x2 in their deck now to best ensure they win any jousts (either theirs or their opponent's)? Handlock and Ramp Druid seem like they'll win most/all jousts.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1142 on:** August 05, 2015, 11:18:08 AM »

It appears to be an anti-aggro mechanic. A control deck is much more likely to win a joust over a face hunter.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1143 on:** August 05, 2015, 01:16:02 PM »

Both of these are quite powerful.

browarod · « **Reply #1144 on:** August 05, 2015, 01:24:29 PM »

Ramp Druid gets the boost of all boosts, though she dies to common mid-cost removal spells (Holy Fire, Fireball, etc.).

I'm excited to see the other class legendaries (especially Shaman).

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1145 on:** August 05, 2015, 01:33:24 PM »

Play Aviana on turn 9 or 10, innervate, play 2 or 3 more minions, innervate, play two more.

browarod · « **Reply #1146 on:** August 05, 2015, 01:35:38 PM »

Or turn 7 if you get 2x Wild Growth off.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1147 on:** August 05, 2015, 01:38:01 PM »

Alternately, you get Aviana from sneeds and empty your entire hand.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #1148 on:** August 05, 2015, 01:41:51 PM »

I've yet to see anything that would make me giggle with excitement.

Master KChief · « **Reply #1149 on:** August 05, 2015, 06:58:48 PM »

Turn 10 Aviana, Malygos, Innervate, Faceless, Faceless, Moonfire, Moonfire. GG.
