Well, this is awkward. But I was also surprised seeing a reprint of Desperate Stand.
Poondaedalin4 years ago Even expansion-specific effects can be used more than once though. Look at the Joust effects from K&C, which use the exact same particle effects as the effects from TGT. As well, look at Discover. Have you noticed that Omega Assembly is the ONLY Discover card that doesn’t have the treasure particle effect upon showing the cards (it shows gears instead)? Blizzard likely thought that Discover would not be a recurring keyword, but proceeded to use the effect in every expansion since without updating the particle effect to suit the other expansions (UNG could be leaves, KotFT could be bones, TBP could be Omega Assembly’s gears, etc.).

Shoemanband4 years ago I guess it just depends if Blizzard thinks a keyword should be evergreen or not. Like, Lifesteal and Start of Game can have a lot of applications in the future, but stuff like Recruit and Reborn are really there to flavor the set (except for Echo, apparently).
Kapiork (3.9)4 years ago @Shoemanband In these cases, there are REALLY subtle differences (different art for 2nd Extra Arms, not getting more Unstable Evolutions if one is cast by Yogg, etc). On the other hand, Poisonous and Lifesteal were in the game before becoming keywords, and the cards with them DID get updated. Confusing, isn't it? :annoy-o-tron: :boomS:
Shoemanband4 years ago I doubt it. People said the same thing about Y'shaarj and Recruit, Unstable Evolution and Echo, and Extra Arms and Twinspell.
Poondaedalin4 years ago Wait... Thinking about it, Blizzard will probably change Desperate Stand to read “Give a minion Reborn”, kinda like with Malchezaar.
Shoemanband4 years ago Desperate Stand is pretty much Reborn as a Deathrattle, so why is this 1 Mana? Even though DS saw little play in Paladin, Priest is a much better class for this type of effect with Deathrattle minions and spell-cast synergy.
A predicted card
Predicted.
@Kovachut Well, to be fair, Desperate Stand always sucked.
