Titan Abilities:
The Twisting Nether (Portal):
Imp & Infernal Tokens:
If you pop Reverberations on this and use an ability, does it spawn a new portal for yourself or just buff the current one of your opponent? Have been scared to try out
9 mana poof and the portal is ok maybe its a bit slow, its a lot worse than gigafin so 3 stars.
Kind of a shame that Sargeras himself is a demon, because that makes him less useable in the big demon archetype… Sure, he’s a big body, but without the battlecry there’s no void, and I don’t know if the abilities work if there’s no void to pull from or stuff minions into.
As for the abilities…
“To the Void!”: This one single-handedly makes it a very good card. DK runs a 5/5 that destroys all minions for 8 mana, Warlock would have no issues running a 6/12 that does it but better (deathrattles don’t trigger!) for 1 mana more. At least, in a slower deck, which is where Sargeras fits in perfectly.
“Legion Invasion!”: Great! A portal that just summons 3/2 imps is historically just very irrelevant after like… turn 7… Upgrading these imps to nice taunts serves to protect Sargeras to very maybe get 1 more ability off, and are just great infinite value. Unlike the base 3/2 imps, the 3/4 taunt imps actually stop enemy minions.
“Inferno!”: Ah, the 3th, worst ability. It is interesting to note that the way “Legion Invasion!” is phrased, these demons would become 6/8 taunts if you summoned them after using legion invasion. I just don’t see you using this in the first trigger. If you’re behind you would clear, and if you’re ahead I would prefer the +2 HP and taunt for future demons over some extra stats on board right now. That said, if Sargeras survived after using “legion invasion!”, those 6/8 taunts look a lot more juicy than the base 6/6’s
Overall, this card is probably an immediate include in slower control-type decks. I love to see it!
4.5/5
So just to confirm, the portal is the twisting nether?
The wording has me wondering if there are going to be other cards that interact with the nether. Ie. Bringing back minions that were sent there.
Correct, the portal is the Twisting Nether
Cheers!
