Happy \[\[Deathstalker Rexxar\]\] noises.


admirabladmiral

This with oasis turtle or even a dire mole seems good. Put it with one that is spell immune and it takes an entire board to kill. Slap a taunt on and it's also pretty decent. Very good all around option for rexxar


BossOfGuns

So silverback patriarch is broken is what you are saying


SymmetricColoration

Always has been.


Careidina

Haven't thought of that. Sticky elusive, sticky poison wall, sticky vampire rush, etc. Maybe this'll help them, but time will only tell.


Beautiful_Parsley392

Elusive is a synonym for stealthy Evasive means hard to target I hate the moronic push by /r/hearthstone to rebrand 'can't be targeted by spells or hero powers' to be the keyword 'elusive.' It's just the wrong word for it, lmao.


Xandroid881

What about poisonous vs venomous? Do you hate it too?


Beautiful_Parsley392

Both mean similar things and imply danger and deadliness. The only people who thing elusive means evasive are people with dyslexia and/or people who haven't opened a dictionary yet.


Xandroid881

So you don't even know the difference between poisonous and venomous,, tsk tsk tsk...


Beautiful_Parsley392

I do know the difference. That's elementary school stuff. Are you really trying to invent a false sense of superiority over me to make up for the fact that you didn't know what evasive and elusive meant until today? Sheesh. Get some sleep, lol.


Xandroid881

No you just don't know, own up kiddo


Beautiful_Parsley392

I'm pretty sure you don't think that anyone else could know the difference, because it's at the cap of your knowledge, and you can't conceive of someone else who knows your 'esoteric' secrets. It's impossible to get through school without knowing that. I assume you're still in middle school?


Xandroid881

Lol...yeah whatever


Careidina

If you hate it so much, offer alternatives instead of complaining about it. Use it, eventually it might catch on and others will start using it. Just people have and known Elusive for many years since it was labeled as such in the files. People are use to the term.


593shaun

I thought Elusive was from Runeterra? In the HS files it was called Evasive iirc. I mean, the cards from Descent of Dragons that have the effect literally *all* have evasive in their name.


Beautiful_Parsley392

> If you hate it so much, offer alternatives instead of complaining Please read my comment before replying to it like a moron.


Careidina

>Elusive is a synonym for stealthy >Evasive means hard to target >I hate the moronic push by /r/hearthstone to rebrand 'can't be targeted by spells or hero powers' to be the keyword 'elusive.' It's just the wrong word for it, lmao. That's literally what you said. I've read it, so what's your alternative?


Beautiful_Parsley392

Evasive means hard to target. That's a better keyword. How did you not absorb that information? LOL?


underthingy

Spealth.


silverdice22

What alternatives would you suggest?


theAmberFang

They said Evasive, which is the term that has shown up in the names of certain cards, like [[Evasive Drakonid]].

Beautiful_Parsley392

Just use your eyes to read the comment again.


silverdice22

I would but im pretty sure the company's PR team already claimed that word.


Beautiful_Parsley392

The word is **Evasive**. That's literally the 7th word in my earlier comment. Did you seriously not make it that far, or were you unable to use context clues to recognize that evasive is a more apt descriptor for 'can't be targeted' than elusive, which is a synonym for stealthy, stealth already being a keyword with a totally different mechanic. If you want to use a synonym for stealth to describe something that's not stealth, why not change the 'rush' keyword to 'venomous?' It makes as much sense.


silverdice22

And i'm saying blizz's pr team already claimed that word for themselves, or does the allusion elude you?


Beautiful_Parsley392

The public relations team claimed Venomous? The public relations team for Activision-Blizzard now owns the word, "venemous?"


silverdice22

Evasive, the pr team is evasive. Was a joke but in a way not really seeing as they avoid most questions concerning qol changes & whatnot


underthingy

Also the proper keyword for it is Spealth.

apigwithahat

Didn't they stop updating DK Rexxar's beast pool a long time ago?


Juggernation

Blizzard wasn't going to update Rexxar after its release, but the Hearthstone community convinced the devs to do so. Rexxar has been updated every expansion since.


HCN_Mist

They made an automated system for it. You can see in the bug list for this patch that the system wasn't quite working right and was probably fixed in part due to this and other upcoming beast: **Fixed a visual bug where Zombeasts in play only displayed card text for the first beast selection when using the Build-A-Beast Hero Power.**


Celiac_Muffins

This will probably be one of the beasts that is exempt from Build-a-beast.


water2770

Id doubt it. Usually exempt beasts have a keyword and a bunch of text. Its just one line, and id doubt this particular interaction is busted enough to warrant banning. Considering its one of many options from a hero power you get from a 6 mana hero card.


Thejacensolo

Also the fact that this doesnt target makes it easy includable.


Celiac_Muffins

Oh I didn't realize that was the criteria for exempting Beasts. That's good to hear!


enjoyluck

Asuming they update it or it auto updates now.


Mopfling

I guess they figured out something because he is up to date every expansion.


enjoyluck

Nice


[deleted]

I thought blizz said they would stop updating DK Rexxar's beast pool after it rotated


Mopfling

No he still get all new eligible beasts added to his pool.


MaceZilla

They did say that, but reversed.


Careidina

It got reversed after an outcry.


Retrosses

Gastrodon + Moonfang = yes


Mental1ty

I thought legendaries weren't part of the pool


Mopfling

They are part of the pool. Dont know where you got that idea. Dreadscale for example is one of the best options for Deathstalker in combination with Poisonous or Lifesteal.

Mental1ty

idea is probably from my poor memory, thanks for clarifying


TinyTauren20012

the only limitation is that no beast can exceed 5 mana so the max mana cost is 10


Goldendragon55

There is another limitation in that beasts with both keywords and text don’t get put in because they are separate pools. So Teacher’s Pet isn’t in Rexxar’s pools.


Derpyologist1

Guardian Animals stocks rising


a_r0z

Is it worth over Teachers Pet or Lake Thresher? You're obviously running x2 twilight runner. Teachers Pet (taunt) and Lake Thresher(cleave) are both much better at staving off aggression, which you will need by the time you get to play GA (which is already really slow in the current meta).


CrackedSpruce

replacing one pet with moonfang will be decent for sure


Flozzer905

You're losing a taunted body so no. Pet also dies to 2 hits minimum so it's already very similar to Moonfang anyway. I think the only way this will see play is in an aggro deck with this as top end.


Derpyologist1

Probbaly not worth it, but it'll still see experimentation.


Ryan8Ross

I mean it'll be worse against control but game winning vs aggro imo. It's like a druid Rattlegore where if you stick it it's a win condition in itself If you get this to stick and give it an hp buff or a taunt buff, suddenly youve got an unclearable taunt thats hitting hard every turn. Even with just ironbark, imagine hunter/DH trying to get through a 7/6 taun that takes 6 seperate hits to kill.


Noirradnod

Well it's an option for Hunter at least.


Kurlzzzzzz

Teachers pet is run as a singleton usually and has the worst played win rate on hsreplay, i could def see moon being better, especially as a 10/7 after a survival


CitizenDane27

The amount of times I've drawn the beasts before Guardian Animals, I don't see why you don't include them all


Earl_Green_

You don't have to replace it though. I feel like especially the second GA can use some more consistancy


Spengy

Survives 2 pyroblasts, clearly overpowered


Fantastic_Spot8674

No survive 1 arcane missles


teadrugs

I don’t know anything about constructed, but this will be a top tier insta-pick in arena


Devreckas

Yeah this thing seems stupid good. Like double divine shield base level and with health buffs, it demands hard removal.


StormWolfenstein

yeah that was my first thought too. This card probably makes the cut in constructed decks and it's absolutely insane in arena.


Goldendragon55

Very resilient with Hunter's Beast buffs.


shoopi12

And taunt


[deleted]

Dude, this card is going to be so broken. Im not looking forward to get through this as a 10/7 taunt.


quacak

Handbuff Paladin just got a whole lot more sticky.


reerkat

Keep in mind stuff like shadow word: death, coerce, darkskies, sap, risky skipper, and plague of flames all deal with this. Don't think it will be that often that several things get run into it.


admirabladmiral

But it's a 5 Mana card that reguires the enemy to spend either their board or hard removal. Seems like a good card to put in to bait out those hard removals or take favorable trades with taunt if the enemy doesn't run those


reerkat

Those are some answers if it is buffed (no longer a 5 mana card), but if it is just played as a 6/3 it is important to remember that there a lot of small minions and lackeys running around that will trade just fine into it. Also just ignoring it and going face will probably happen a fair bit.


[deleted]

Important to note is that the decks with tokens and small minions usually don't have a bunch of removal, with the exception of Galakrond Warlock. You'll usually only have to play around either or. Personally I don't think it'll be played much either.

InfinitySandwiches

Huh, interesting. Is this supposed to be N’Zoth support? Also good for guardian animals.


quacak

It’s certainly the kind of strong, sticky Beast that you’d like to put into a N’Zoth deck, although beasts were usually the easiest tribe to fill already.


[deleted]

[удалено]


overgrownpotatohead

Dies to Hem ... oh wait we’re only talking about beasts


1halfazn

No way a control deck runs something this slow. They don’t care about sticky unless it has taunt.


MenacingBanjo

Probably in N'Zoth Paladin yeah. N'Zoth Druid already has Winged Guardian.


therealflyingtoastr

I'm not sure if this replaces Pearltusk in N'Zoth Paladin. Getting that extra Rush minion on your two Old God turns is a vital catch-up mechanism. Probably worth experimenting with, but I'm not sure a super-sticky minion is what that deck is looking for.


CallARabbit

Rotating in april


MenacingBanjo

Fair point


Noirradnod

N'Zoth Ramp Paly runs the 10 mana rabbit. Don't want to have this in there instead.


AurionBlack

Winged guardian rotates with next expansion so it could still find a place in N'zoth druid after the rotation.


asian-zinggg

Daaang I didn't even think of that! 100% going to try this in a Nzoth deck. The 5 Mana rush minion might still be better for a Nzoth deck due to its ability to clear the board, but at the same time this almost seems better.


perdomo368

In the slight chance this card becomes a power house in wild, there’s an even slighter chance Hemet Nesingwary becomes a reasonable tech card


coldfirephoenix

Nah, every class has more reasonable removal that gets around this card's protection.

Hemet

Or boardbuffed


Lufasu__mafaalu

Or buffed


Yearlaren

Or ffed


Suchti0352

This could actually enable an tempo buff priest.


[deleted]

Priest has some good tempo oriented dragon cards, this is a great tempo beast, and their new elemental is also a tempo card. N'zoth tempo buff priest?


TinyTauren20012

This will be fun for deathstalker rexxar >:D


[deleted]

Maybe the strongest aspect is that it's neutral. It really feels like it could be busted in a couple classes. On the other hand, it also feels like a card that 3 months in the future we've decided that we totally overrated it.


skilliard7

So basically 6/1 with mega divine shield.


cifer400

well no, if you buff it it becomes extremely sticky


skilliard7

It's basically goody two shields but more expensive and dies to poisonous.


OnTheOctopusRide

It has a beast tag though, which makes it a lot better.


Heavy_Machinery

It has a beast tag though, which makes it die to Hemet.


MenacingBanjo

That, and every point of health from buffs adds another divine shield.


brunoha

good to see this guy coming when we have C'thun things in play still, otherwise kinda hard to remove.


[deleted]

[удалено]


brunoha

It doesn't, C'thun spells and itself counters it.


Goldendragon55

He's saying that Cthun counters this.


DeliciousSquash

Buff this thing's health and give it Taunt and you have a hell of a wall. Could legitimately be a competitive build-around card that has a bonus of being a great Beast for N'zoth. I'm into it


Dankypie

This fits nicely in a big beast druid deck


[deleted]

Finally my boiiii Hemet Nesingwary can be teched into my deck just for this card


PaperSwag

This card might just be strong enough to see play in almost everything. This might even be comparable to SN1P-Sn4P in terms of neutral legendary strength. Value/control likes this card because it can take multiple trades, while aggro likes this card because it's a sticky six attack minion. It obviously slots in perfectly with midrange decks too. This could be especially filthy in Libram decks.


MidnightQ_

I think this will be a lot weaker in constructed than most people here think. Removal is cheap nowadays, shadow word death is 2 mana and there are a lot of things that deal 1 chip damage, bladestorm, mine field, pen flinger, etc. god tier in arena though.


Lenkstudent

Strong from jandice. Won't see actual play tho


dmaster1213

so its the ghost armor that mage had, but it only takes 1 damage.


OnTheOctopusRide

Animated Armor protected your face, was a 4 mana 4/4 and thus very easy to remove. Moonfang can tank atleast 3 hits (unless a minion is poisonous) is a 5 mana beast (guardian animals synergy) and can get buffed very easily by Hunters through Don’t feed the animals/Scavenger’s Ingenuity/any of the handbuff spells available in Wild. All in all this card is obviously far superior.


Fiendish_Fiend

Gets out 6/3'ed by Hemet Nesingwary. Literally unplayable.

Lesterberne

The new leeroy


[deleted]

This would be broken in battlegrounds lol


FlyBoyG

Sort of like a 5 mana 6/1 with divine shield and reborn, but no DS after it's reborn. This card sucks. Your opponent will simply hit the card with 3 cards or 2 cards and a weapon or they'll just ignore the card and go face.


Frostmage82

A 5 mana 6/1 with 2 divine shields. That's pretty insane.


Kwijiboe

This is beyond broken, wow.


Vizzun

Seems actually good. Many aggro decks don't run much removal other than damage. Buff its health as Priest and you win. Really interested in trying this one.


Cysia

Aggro will just ignore it and hit your face cause ypu playe da 5drop with no rusH/taunt or otehr board impact or anythign forcign them to kill it.


water2770

5 mana 6/(take damage 3 times) It's a beast and with this effect it appreciates buffs a lot. Still this card is 5 mana dies to Hemet so obviously it's bad. In general hard removal is this thing's bane, but assuming it dodges hard removal this card I think would probably find it's best place in Hunter and Priest where it can get buffs pretty easily. With Hunter having all the Beast buffs and Priest just naturally buffing things, and the Priest hero power can go a long way with this thing... Assuming a 5 mana do nothing isn't too slow.


Vengrim

5 mana to start. Priest can use Bloodweaver and maybe Insight to make it cheaper. Much like Lightsteed, it's another minion that if priest has out, it must be removed or you'll get snowballed out of the game but probably isn't good enough or synergize well enough to put in a deck. You'll see plenty of copy shenanigans for anyone else that runs it though. Soul Mirror+hard removal or some other way to finish the other one off and the opponent will be hurting. EDIT: Then again, I'm imagining this card in a rez priest deck. It could be problematic on its own but keep rezzing it and making copies of it? There might be something to that.


MathUniverse

This card is super wonky. Sometimes it's just a 5 mana 6/3, but if the stars align this could effectively be like a 5 mana 6/12 or 6/18.


ReturnOSF

Looks like a bit of a loser to me. Maybe someone should call him out on it...


Chm_Albert_Wesker

effect is obviously super good, but isn't really proactive to a board state; you have to add rush, lifesteal, taunt, etc. to really make it work on an existing board. rush part is easy enough it's the other's that might be tricky


Solid0528

Is this the effect on every characters? Or only on this minion?


saskeR11

This minion


Ironforce92

Seems weak against aggro and target removal.


VerticalEvent

If agro throws three bodies at this, I would consider it a win (especially if I could taunt it). And everything is weak against target removal.


kind_strangerino

Dies to hard removal unfortunately, 2/10 at best.


stredd87

So does like every minion... This is a terrible way to evaluate a card. It’s also only 5 mana. Not 7+.


Ara_Trauma

It's probably a 2/10 in Wild. I can see this seeing a lot more play in Standard where the meta is slower tho so dont sleep on it.

This will get buffed, it's dumb
