Cards you never see

[Nikkaszal]

I just use Ancient Watchers for that, pretty much the same effect and has other uses. (the 4/5 that can't attack for 2 mana)

Yeah that's more efficient and you never see otherwise outside of the start of season.

Magma is a sub if the handlock doesn't have two Watchers though. It's not, y'know, great, but you DO see it =)

[Ryme]

Kidnapper or Mana Wraith. I want Mana Wraith to be viable for something so badly.

I was actually puzzled when I heard Kidnapper's attack emote - I grabbed him in an arena run about a week ago, I'd never heard it before!

[skorpio]

I think I saw all cards, at least once. Rarest cards:
- ETC - once, but I often used it for fun
- Vanish
- Captain's Parrot
- Master of Disguise
- Angry Chicken - before Blood Imp nerf
- and some average legendaries (becoz don't fit in top decks) - Velen, Antonidas, Mukla, Krush, Onyxia etc. etc.

Mukla and Antonidas are doing the rounds in Aggro and Freeze Mage respectively.

Wow, such long lists. I should be surprised, but it's the state of many cards being poor on value or highly situational.

[Nikkaszal]

You never see Mass Dispel? Hmm.

My Priest deck has always run it, and it's treated me obscenely well.

[De Lupe]

Lorewalker Cho lately, I think he needs 5 health.

I use Cho in my Warrior's weapon build. Very few spells in the build makes him very favorable for me in early game, especially when I can coin him on T1.

[Nekrotix]

I normally play in Ranked and Casual, so I don't know much about the higher end top-teir stuff, but I can safely say I've never seen:
Illidan Stormrage
Tinkmaster Overspark
Cenarius
Grommash Hellscream
Prophet Velen
Hungry Crab
Wisp
I could go on like this, but I'd go on for a while. I can tell you one card I see all the time!
Starts with a P ends with a H, used by mages and always is topdecked when they need it, but never when you need it.
Give up? "Polymorph'

[Mormolyce]

I don't think I've ever seen Gruul, Velen, War Golem, Kidnapper, The Beast, Greenskin, Holy Wrath, Magma Rager, Shadowform, Battle Rage, Captain's Parrot or Wisp.

Had a guy play Pitlord against me, so I sapped it, and he played it again. Free 10 dmg.

Yeah I eventually took it out of my hand because too many Rogues :P

[QwertySham]

Far sight - Shaman. VERY rare in my experience lol seen it played once

You either don't play much or aren't remembering properly.

Far sight - Shaman. VERY rare in my experience lol seen it played once

I used to run it in my Shaman deck

Wish they'd buff it.

[Axelond]

Krommm I pretty much agree with that list. But it looks like you haven't played against freeze mage or any type of paladin. Only counting cards that I think is viable in any deck that is capable of achieving rank 5 or higher

Mogushan Warden Some backspace rogue
Silence amaz priest deck
Blizzard Freeze mage
Snipe seen hunters run it in rank 3 this season
Gnomish Inventor Control warr or giant mage likes this card
Ancestral Spirit You haven't seen crusher shaman deck?
Onyxia some control warriors can run this
Demolisher ramp druid was a thing a few weeks ago
Defias Ringleader Backspace rogue
Sword of Justice saw this yesterday all rush paladins run it
Worgen Infiltrator seen both aggro paladin and rush rogues use it

[Fayth]

Well. It never appeared in the Beta atleast.

What I do remember is the old Miracle rogue.

Shiv at 1 mana

Backstab was 0 for 2 damage(didnt have to be undamaged minion)

Conceal was 0 mana

Defias ring leader was a 2/3

Headcrack was at 2 mana(was actually used in Miracle back then)

And Cleef was 1/1 with same battlecry, but had stealth

Also you could get 2/1 knife from your hero ability when you used your hero abi twice in a row.
So broken.

So broken.

Yeah, giving +1 attack to your weapon was too good.

[Huntermyth]

never saw anyone play a kidnapper before.

i got one from a deck a few weeks ago though, now rests in dust.

edit: forgot to add onyxia, never saw her either
