Mark of the Lotus: Not a bad card, but the wrong meta for it.Mayor Noggenfogger: Hilarious to watch, but not much else.Madam Goya: She hasn't found the right deck for her unique effect.Genzo, the Shark: Not bad on paper, but by turn four if you play this you're likely to be murdered by pirates.Sergeant Sally: Yeah, people all thought she'd be a great AoE clear, right? Nope, play Abyssal Enforcer or Ravaging Ghoul insetad.Auctionmaster Beardo: Until more efficient TGT cards leave? Crap.Fight Promoter: Not a bad card, but comes too late and does too little.
Defias Cleaner: Not the right meta for this dude competes with Sylvannas and Aya anyway.Fel Orc Soulfiend: Play Injured Blademaster instead.Blubber Baron: If Bolvar can't see play.Weasel Tunneler: Can't deny that he's funny, though.Spiked Hogrider: Play Black Knight instead.Bomb Squad: Funny combo if your enemy has Sylvannas or if you have Evolve, but otherwise pointless.Backroom Bouncer: Play Flesheating Ghoul instead.Big Time Racketeer: Crap in constructed.Streetwise Investigator: When is this useful? Should've put in an AoE.Red Mana Wyrm: Too much mana to properly set up.Tanaris Hogchopper: When is this ever useful?.Kooky Chemist: Crazed Alchemist is better.Hozen Healer: What minion are you going to heal when the pirate horde is whacking your face?.Daring Reporter: Questing Adventurer is better.Toxic Sewer Ooze: Acidic Swamp Ooze is better.Street Trickster: Kobold Geomancer is better.Gadgetzan Socialite: Voodoo Doctor is better.Friendly Bartender: Decent but pointless.Blowgill Sniper: Too little stats, not enough Murloc synergy.Will try to keep this a lot shorter than the earlier card reviews. One of the things to keep in mind is that the meta for Gadgetzan is dominated with either fast-hitting aggro pirate decks, or by super-long Reno control decks, meaning some cards like, say, Hozen Healer just doesn't do enough to really matter. Good cards are, well, good, whereas the final category, the 'great' category, is reserved for the very, very excellent ones. Average cards are sort of okay and you see them in some decks, but they're not super good.
So I'm going to divide up the set into four categories: crappy cards are, well, crap, maybe maybe being somewhat serviceable in arena, or are good in theory but find no spot in the current meta. Keep in mind that this set review is made in progress throughout the month of February, where Aggro Pirate days run rampant, with the knowledge of the aggro cards (STB and Spirit Claws) going to be nerfed soon. So with Mean Streets of Gadgetzan soon going to be not the newest set on the block with dinosaurs and elementals coming, as well as the announcement and nerf of the Small-Time Buccaneer, it's interesting to see how much of the set is actually good, and how much of it is terrible.
