3 mana Epic, 2/4 Dragon. “Cards can’t cost less than (2).”
Anyone try using this? Rather strange epic with a bad stat line for it’s cost, but in a world full of mana cheating, the EFFECT seems good. Or, is it just trash?
Doubtful that it’s good. Most will just kill it and then spam the zero cost stuff. And it’s not like warrior is spamming zero cost cards to hit you with 40+ damage.
only used it on some kazakus decks in wild
id probably would use it more if it was a 3/4
The problem with all tech cards is that you can’t win just playing minions anymore. And none of the scam decks that actually win benefit enough from losing some synergy piece to run a tech card.

Very simply needs to cost 2 more mana and be a battlecry that affects the rest of the game.

Razorscale’s biggest issue is that his effect just turns off when killed. Since most combo style Mana cheat tends to be from spell discounts, speaker stomper just does the job better.
If razorscale was a battlecry that made his effect work for the next 2-3 turns, he would be a lot better than he is at the moment.

I say it’s just trash because you can remove it, then keep cheating.

I was thinking like, you play this on turn 5 against a relic DH. Next turn he plays double relic of dimensions, draws 4 cards that will probably cost (0), and he would use some of them to interact with the board state. However, he can’t, because his (0) costs have become (2) and he can’t play them now.
My issue is that speaker stomper also prevents this play, by making the relic now cost 7, and even if they could play it, spells drawn may no longer cost 0 with stomper’s effect that turn.
It’s just outclassed by a more widely applicable tech card.

Yeah, I agree. The only reason you’d want to play Razorscale in the first place is mostly against spell heavy decks and Speaker Stomper is a much better card.
Some people use it in high legend wild as a rare tech in etc or when a tony druid.
(Deck that draws all cards in deck, swaps, and double naturalizes you for a fatigue otk playing 28x 0 cost cards with floop’s goop for mana regeneration)
But yeah even there it’s pretty bad. And even then the decks can remove it for 2 mana on a 3 mana card.
It’s just that the 2nd naturalize is needed to kill you for a 30 dmg doublecasted fatigue combo.
And it’s still a bad card. Not fun. But yeah.
A card with a aura effect like “for the next 2-3 turns. Card’s can’t REDUCE their cost below 2”, with 1 cost cards costing the same 1 would be fine.
Hell even a card that had a permanant for the whole game, “battlecry: cards can’t be reduced to cost under 1 mana” would be fine.
I’d also be fine with a battlecry that made the cards currently in hand unable to be discounted under 2 later.

Don’t know what they were thinking making it a minion-dependent effect. Should’ve been a battlecry.
