For the robocaller and the other cards that draw specific cards: There'll ALWAYS be a combo that can utilize them. Robocaller esp. Every turn it's basically: 3 in 9 chances (at worst 3 in 11, if they include 0 and 10 mana costs as options) at choosing a number that corresponds to a combo card you still have in your deck. If there's not many other cards in your deck except low cost card draw, when it does land on a mana cost that you want, there's a good chance that the combo card will be the only card in your deck of that cost, so it's a way to increase the consistency of your deck, without having it really ever be a dead draw, because as long as there's a combo card in your deck, it can theoretically pull it. (As opposed to other targeted draw cards that might target 1 or 2 pieces of a combo, but is a dead draw if you've already drawn those pieces, but not another piece.) Plus, it's draw 3. So, say you see it roll 3 numbers that exactly match the 3 remaining combo pieces in your deck: easy. But it doesn't remove the opportunity cost if the 3 aren't the ones you want, because you can just play something else until it lands on something you want. It's value in hand kinda goes up the longer you hold it, because you know more precisely what exactly you'll draw as the game goes on, because there's fewer cards in your deck.

Travelmaster Dungar - I think the potential is high but needs a build around. Dream planner Zephyrs- I potentially really like this lol. I do think you can get some great pulls. Imployee of the month - it's ok I think the big benefit is its in warlock and rouge. Ungoro brochure- I like the brochures so I like it. Turbulus - there's defintely a deck here. The hunter location and the shaman location means amazing battlecry benefits. The effect says other minions so no not a yeti Punch card - a good cleave card. Ice crown brochure - I like the brochures. I think which you prefer depends on the board state. Reserved spot - I really like it goes with the buff warrior theme they already had this set. The 2 cost reduction means you can possibly play big things early. Alloy advisor - people are going to hate this card. You are going to keep gaining armor and buff this thing. Hydration totem - its great but you need the ability to have other minions out. Cash Cow - I like the idea but I think it needs a cost reduction of 1 mana or a stat buff of +1/+1. Workhorse - its got good stats but completely unexciting for me. Huddle up - saw the Naga and went eh. Burn down - 3 mana draw 3 cards you need to dump fast. I think its good because it draws 3 cards for 3. Portalmancer skyla - defintely good just for the ability to access cards that you normally don't gget. Robocaller - I think this is better than people think. You can try to pull specific cards from your deck and presumably If you quickdraw you can pull your 8 cost cards Agency Espionage- probably not a good card but I'm guessing it will have broken stuff. Sharp shipment - if you get a good weapon it's probably amazing.

[@NotShalune]

Consistency is a problem. But I wonder about Sharp Shipment in mage with Cosmic Keyboard. 4-mana 4/4, give your weapon 2 more summons and the option to attack. With or without Sharp Shipment, Metal Detector is interesting in mage. Attacking weapon option + coins for Skyla's cost swap.

[@epicroblox8639]

It uses a summon so its a 4/4 gain 1 durability wich isnt even good

[@roguebanshee]

Metal Detector giving coins for Big Spell Mage to combo with Skyla is clunky, but it could be what the deck needs to be a bit more viable. The dream is following up a 0-mana Sunset Volley or Tsunami with 2x Conniving Conman. There's also Sea Shill to help casting the big Mage spells a bit faster.

[@neilu7132]

@@roguebanshee there's a lot of coin generation and you can also run a few cheap spells that you're ok not using, the location that discovers speells costing less than 3 could help as well to generate cheap garbage. The mana cheat seems way too insane to ignore, especially multiplied by the conman

[@TheZanzou]

No, turbulus does not buff itself as it's all OTHER battlecry minions. Speaking of.. looking at hunter cards and I don't really see anything that screams to me as a combo between the two classes. Parrot sanctuary might be nice for a battlecry deck, or shudderblock+turbulus turbo's on the Adaptive amalgam deck as it gives the amalgam plus anything you're attaching to it magnetic +3/+3 each. I can't remember if that repeats your last 1 cost card plays an exact copy of amalgam or not but getting 3 more copies of it would be crazy if so but it also means you can't do warrior for all you can eat so ehhh.. If either had a big spell that targeted the enemy hero then shuddeblock + chatty macaw would be an exciting combo to go for but neither has anything that'd make that a good wincon. biggest one they have between both is potentially kill command. Seems best to me for elemental but the only extra elemental it opens up for shaman is mantle shaper which is super meh, and obsidian revenant. Shudderblock Theldurin could be a hilarious combo though if you could hand buff him enough.

With travel master all you need to do is find cards from an expansion that your deck doesn’t play so it consistently hits at the very least 2 cards. 9 mana is expensive and the other major restriction is that there aren’t many cards that purely want to be summoned and lose there battle cry but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone took a slower deck and added this as top end like how Reno Renathal big beast hunter played at the end of last year

[@martijnstuart815]

Dont forget warrior can get 18 armor potentially from that new taunt card if you play the 2 mana whirlwind to hit it 6 times.

I feel like everyone looks at Dungar with the idea of getting 3 massive minions out, but I wonder if it'll be good in a more midrange deck where you're just pulling 4-6 drops. That's still a lot of value if you can reliably hit 3 minions.

[@callummcwhirter7226]
