This update gave a valuable new tool to Yellow Rush’s kit; Flash Salmon. Flash salmon might not be all that impressive by itself but it offers a large amount of versatility and as we’ve seen with cards like Emperor’s Command versatility is very valuable. To start with Flash Salmon is a flying 1 faeria, two desserts 1/1 with flying, charge 2, and haste. With the ability to draw you a card at the end of the turn if it remains on board which can be very useful as it helps you draw answers. The versatility of this card is amazing, with flying, charge 2, and haste it can get around most land block to help you set up aggressive lands. This card can also proc prayer. As a 1 faeria 1/1 this card is essentially a Falcon Dive in creature form helping finishing off low hp enemies. This card can also be used as a sac target alongside your Khalim’s Followers (although you give up it’s card draw ability, so situational.) This creature also gives yet another low cost haste creature to Yellow Rush to buff Zealous Crusaders which makes them more reliable (part of the reason why we’ve started seeing the use of Daring Adventurer and War Yak in Yellow Rush decks)

Overall Flash Salmon is a valuable tool in Yellow rush because of the overwhelming versatility the card offers. It helps mitigate bad starting hands and makes Yellow Rush a lot more consistent.
