Sticky Grimwalker

I played against a Death Knight (standard format) and he played a card that I can not find anywhere. It was called “Sticky Grimwalker” and the text said “After you summon an undead give it poisonous” This card is insanely powerful in Death Knight with it’s hero power now giving you a charging poisonous minion.

I looked in the collection manager, clicked on ‘crafting’, but could not find the card. What am I missing? How do I get this card?

It’s not really. If you want to ping a poisonous token to remove a big minion for a total of 5 mana you have far cheaper and easier options. It’s an ok card, but hardly worth putting in your deck. If you do want to do it, it’s a new card from the latest miniset. Make sure your Hearthstone is updated and you can craft it from the library, you might want to toggle “new” cards in the finder and click on show un-owned cards to find it more easily.

Hunter has the same card at 0 mana but for spells.

It’s from the miniset. You probably didn’t have it set to standard or something

Found it. I wrote the name down wrong. It’s Sickly Grimewalker not Sticky Grimwalker.
Thanks all.

Now that the meta’s calmed down a bit, people are going to start realising that this card is a little OP. It’s stats are OK, maybe 1 health drop would be nice, but it’s cost, and interaction with cards like crop rotation are just a bit too much. Could do with a 1 mana nerf probably…

Blizzard made a mistake with death knights, it’s so hard to balance 3 different runesets in one class especially when they can discover cards from any other of the runes. If discovery could only come from the rune sets you have in your deck then balancing would become just that little bit easier…

It’s fine. The main problem is that the class has a Hero power than can just use the effect immediately.

Probably the cost should be same but have a “can’t use it with Hero power”.

PS concerns like that would be better off handled with a “SimulationCraft for Hearthstone” because we’re just guessing

It is fine in general because power creep’s been a thing since forever-ago expansions. 5 mana Assassinate, became 5 mana Assassinate, have a 2/4 on board, and maybe get another Assassinate or 2 or 3 if your opponent can’t deal with the minion on board. I’ll admit there’s been some inbetween, Assassinate is now 4 mana for instance :upside_down_face: Anyway, crop rotation exists, and that’s one of the cards that makes it not so OK…
