But you can potentially continue it in future turns, so long as Brann or a single Shadowcaster stays alive. Also, would a copy of C'Thun be a 1/1, or a 1/1 + all the C'Thun buffs that game? | ||

Of that I have no idea I think with this card and many others, it's pretty safe to say that even Wild meta game will change quite a bit when the set hits. | ||

Getting a 1-cost copy of something is great for combo cards, and can be good with stuff like Sylvanas or Ragnaros. Yeah first thing that comes to mind is Van Cleef. Basically any solid battlecry or combo though has potential. | ||

Also still can't log in, having acquired Khadgar. The patching apparently has delayed, until 3 PDT. | ||

Fit the rogue pretty well. A sort of faceless manipulator that you can keep it end for a later turn for just 1 mana. (Also works with battlecry/choose one minion) Good combo potential. I am sure it will find some usage. You conceal your Malygos in one turn and the next you have a cheap copy of him on top of that :o | ||

I guess in Wild the dream would be, Forlorn Stalker into Piloted Shredder. But what about Standard? Blanking on what Hunter would want in the 4 spot... maybe Polluted Loot Hoarder lol. | ||

Or 2 Nerubian Eggs, in a deck with Feign Death. | ||

Polluted loot hoarder is actually probably a very decent card for mid-range hunter yes. Card draw and huge pressure minion are 2 things that synergize with their overall strategy. So the synergy with this card may be enough to push it in the deck. The other question is how many other Deathrattle card will fit in the deck, and will there be enough to warrant playing the Stalker in the first place. Time will tell if that card will be played in constructed after OldGods but it has in all cases a pretty good potential to be played at some point (and in Wild). Happy to see a good card for the mid-range hunter (that definitely need some love). | ||

Yeah, no, it's a neat concept, but the name and art don't really explain what's happening. Card itself looks like it's strong on its own, but I'm not certain which good deathrattles are staying in Standard. It's just Highmane, right? Webspinner, Haunted Creeper, Mad Scientist, Sludge Belcher, and Piloted Shredder are all leaving. | ||

Only thing I can see flavor wise for it is he's "forlorn," hopeless, everyones gonna die, so since they're gonna die anyways might as well go down fighting, thus deathrattle minions around him(in hand) whose purpose is to die are encouraged by him to fight to the bitter end granting them a buff fits with his stats too having just 2 health but 4 attack allowing him to go down killing something much stronger himself. Might just be overthinking this though. | ||

edit: Yeah I dunno, the card might have a better chance of being used in Wild or in brawls. | ||
