this is a cool card, kind of an inverse maelstrom wanderer. much more likely to see play than a hunted wumpus
EDIT: Ignore this comment. I thought all players were Polymorphing, which is wrong.
Yeah, this is a wumpus. A six cost triply-gold wumpus; so it's not actually cheap either. (Ok, it's cheap-ish for the body, but at that size the body stops mattering)
In an environment where Craw Wurm is playable, this is fine. In an environment that spawned the titans? And six-cost 6/6 artifact creatures that deal 6 damage when they die? This looks like a huge downside.
A perfectly functional card, but destined to be ill liked, I fear. Useful if you've got an evil creature stealing combo, I guess.
Yeah I realize it isn't powerful, but it's designed to be a swingy casual card. I was actually pretty happy about how this turned out in testing; once it got them a Sakura Tribe Elder, the next time their Dark Hatchling immediately killed this guy. I enjoy the swinginess in a casual setting, I enjoy it as a wumpus variant.
