STOP WITH THE CARDS THAT ARE GOOD WITH OLD VINDICATOR!
WHY!!!11111!!!11!1111!!
I feel like that vindicator nerf was made just for this expansion…
Seems a bit basic, but could be fun in Songhai
Also, cool pixel art!

This with saberspine seal and inner focus can just clear the board and deal 10 face damage. This could actually end up being a decent card in songhai. Sure it’s a 3 card combo, but considering their draw it probably isn’t that hard to do.
I won’t fall into a trap and say it’s definitely a good songhai card though. It is a 3 card combo after all and songhai is the faction that benefits the most from various synergies and we don’t even know rest of the cards. Potential is there, but that’s pretty much it as of now.

Looks like a Songhai card and it looks Magmar isnt the only faction with Warbeast now.
I really like it, it looks much more geared towards Songhaï though.
zen’rui is suddenly looking like something i should craft
It bares noting that Dagger Kiri a 2/8 Celerity minion exists that cost 5 and nobody plays it in Songhai.
it doesnt have frenzy

What makes you say that?
I’ve seen it in some gimmick songhaï strat trying to replicate the old fox combo
Add to this the fact that sword of mechaz0r is played as well in some gimmicky Songhaï decks and you have the perfect Songhaï gimmick card
No worries there’s a hard counter for him

Seems amazing and fun )
I wonder why EVERYONE thinks about songhai when seeing this…
It has celerity so the weakest aspect of frenzy just isnt there nymore and any buff makes this carzy…and its a 5 drop.
By why is that so important? Welp it woud be ad with 1+/1+ as an 6 drop but 5 drops and 3 drops are some of the most simple to summon minion due to the curve we have and how they woud perfectly fit into most curves.
Will like this in magmar…just a thread in the 5 mana slot where not may minion REALLY shine…
Imagine Deathstrike Seal.
This is the second card in a row (after Sodomo) I don’t like. I was so hyped about Shimzar and the more I know about it the more I’m disillusionated.
I promise to try to keep the hype up but the last two cards… don’t seem to be healthy for the game. We still don’t know much about Shimzar so this is my hope.

I don’t see the issue. Both cards look painfully average. Trying to evaluate the cards based on the best case scenario considering the current set of cards is what’s unhealthy. 9moons is a typical example of an unhealthy design. Both of the revealed cards don’t even compare to it.

It’s good card with obvious strong points (Songhai), but it’s also weak to cards like Zenrui, grovekeeper, and plasma storm. While Songhai is the only faction that could gain immediate value with this card, it could also work in Lyonar with divine bond fire to celerity.

It is werid how people are evaluating stuff for me.The actually game isn’t played like that nothing survives for more than a turn unanswered.
There is a four cost five health minion name Taygete and metagame has evolved around killing it and Beastmaster is far easier to kill. I said it before we already have Dagger Kiri,If people ain’t inner focus +Saberspine with Dagger Kiri it ain’t happening Beastmaster. I am not the most skilled player but I have tried Kiri in Lyonar and Songhai.It doesn’t really work.If Lux inginus (which you play hiding in the back )doesnt work in Lyonar this won’t work either.
I hope I am wrong ,Maybe they add new card that makes it work but if the new meta is close to this meta.It won’t work consistently enough to be used outside inner focus.Anyways off to put Lux inginus in Healnar again see if I can make it work
