Ticking Abomination
there’s a lot of better cards you could run in burn mage then a 5-6 body that prevents you from playing other minions…
and a 5-6 on turn 4 isn’t gonna help you stabilize your board without taunt, it pretty much prevents you from playing any minions on turn 5, and fks you’re minions on the board from turns 1-3 if you are ahead..
In any aggro deck this is garbage,
And even in control decks even that use deathRattles this still sucks, If you run N’Zoth, it rezes this thing, and your opponent only has to kill your AbomB to pretty much get a +1 flame-strike on your board
Blizz is gonna have to release some cards with some really strong synergies with this card if it’s ever going to see play (competitively)
Over all waste of a card slot and it really sucks this is a rare card.. I hope I don’t open to many of these
Ticking Abomination
Omg this card is awful
Hungry Dragon 5-6… cost: give your opponent a random 1 cost minion
Ticking A-bomb 5-6… cost: +1 Flame strike your side of the board
No one played hungry dragon in competitive even with the Drag synergy, this is like 10x worse
I hope the other Death Rattle cards aren’t going to be this bad, RIP gravedigger
Chillblade Champion
Oh yeah not to mention
(cost6) AYA- 5-3 DeathRat Summon +2 Jades (A SHIT TON OF VALUE) + N’Zoth can rez her
(costs4) KAZ- Gain a really powerful insanely valuable spell, you can make for the situation/match-up you’re in (Only cost is you gotta run Reno)
(Costs7) GOON- Give the doomsayer in your hand +5 +5…
Chillblade Champion
I agree this card has no place in aggro Paladin (murloc) decks and in Control Paladin decks
And Goon Paladin….
Yeah, the reason Grim-Goons Paladin failed so hard (Compared to Jade and Kaz) is because of the RANDOM buff effects, Yes I know Paladin got some cards that buffed everything in your hand by 1, but you were paying for that +1 buff by playing cards with pretty crap stats for their cost
Playing cards that rely on buffs from other cards have to have really strong effects to be good, giving a card a +1/+2 for what it costs you (Costing u like 2-4 mana) isn’t good
Truesilver does what this does way better with no buffs or extra cards
If Blizz wanted to make Goon Paladin (Hunter&Warrior) viable decks/work, they should have just let YOU pick what you wanted buffed in your hand… Would that have really been so OP compared to Jade and Kaz?
Prince Keleseth
Yeah, I agree, the effect is defiantly better then Mist-caller being able to be used on turn 2 over 6
+having better stats for the value
(You could actually keep this when you Mulligan, while Mist you’d never want to)
But the big thing that makes it terrible is the price
Mistcaller -FREE
Prince- Lose all your powerful vital 2 drops in your deck
2 Drops define almost all the viable competitive decks in this meta
The only class that has no really good 2 drops is warlock and that’s like the only (worst) not viable class
Shallow Gravedigger
Yep completely right, Unless we see some really strong death Rattle cards, it’s just not worth it for the crap stat-line, it’s not gonna be like stone-hill because you actually don’t get to discover and choose the best of 3 cards, it’s just random.
It could be good in some classes that might get strong death Rattle minions like (paladin-Tirion)
But there’s also a lot of crap death Rattle minions you could get to
And it’s not a defensive card like stone-hill too so it’s much harder to play, because it dies to hero powers and trades with 1-2 drops
(Seems like a pretty greedy&risky 3 drop to me)- If you wanna go for that 5+ Tirion dream in Paladin
10 with N’Zoth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Spirit Lash
This Cards soooo good, Been playing a lot of Kaz priest and I always find myself either hoping to draw my AOE cards and healing cards in a lot of match-ups, and this card pretty much does both!
I think Blizzard is finally trying to slow down Aggro/Face decks with this expansion with this new life-steal Mechanic
But overall great card for Priests (Control Priests) + works well with Lyra
Chillblade Champion
Definitely an interesting card, the 3-2 stats for 4 mana are weak, comparing this card to other strong 4 drops (Like In warrior) such as Korkron Elite (4-3w charge), Kor Elite trades much better being a 4-3 charge
You’re pretty much giving up that extra 1 dmg for +3 heal (Maybe +6)
It’s similar to Bash which costs 1 less, where you deal 3 dmg gain 3 armor
-Costs 1 more mana then Bash
-Worse cause it’s a charge and not a spell
-Better because it can possibly heal for more + can be buffed
Now I know this can be buffed by the failed Grim squad Goon deck that Paladin got put into, but that deck was never really viable, so it should be interesting to see if this helps it become an actual competitive deck with some help from other new cards we’ll see later.
But so far I’d run true-silver over this any day, and I don’t think it’s that good or that it’d help Goon Paladin become Viable (Yet)
Mage's Death Knight Hero Card Leaked?
OK, that makes more sense, yeah you’re right, it’s hard to judge it without seeing what the new hero power is going to be as well
Mage's Death Knight Hero Card Leaked?
I hope this is just fake, because it’s a pretty weak class hero card for mage… It costs wayy to much for what you’re getting.
If i’m understanding this right, it doesn’t replace your Mage hero power, but it summons you a 3-6 Water Elemental and gives all the elementals in your deck life-steal and u get +5 armor
So water Ele is worth 4 mana +5 armor is worth 1 mana, so it’s costing you 4 Mana to get the lifesteal effect on ur eles
But you have to play this on turn 9 which in any tempo/aggro match-up is really hard to do, it’d be like the same as dropping a Yersa but only getting a 3-6 water ele with lifesteal and +5 armor instead. It has no impact on the board the turn you play it (kinda greedy).
Not to mention Ele Mage as is, isn’t even close to being a viable competitive deck, so unless we’re going to see some really strong Ele Mage cards and neutral Eles for Mage, this cards looking like it won’t be viable.. (SO FAR- If this is the actual card)
You’re doing nothing on board turn 9 to play this, and you don’t even get the value out of it’s effect,your paying 4 mana for, until you play and attack with Elemental (or your opponent attacks ur eles with minions)
Prince Keleseth
Yeah, you’re absolutely right, this card is terrible. I think a ton of people are forgetting Mistcaller.. you know that 6 mana 4-4 Shaman legendary that did the same thing as this… but with NO REQUIREMENT!
Turned out to see no play and be pretty terrible, this is the same thing with Prince Keleseth except you’ll have to massively hinder your deck for the same effect. The only class this might be able to fit this in without crippling their deck to much “so far” is a control warlock maybe… and then even if you make the sacrifice there’s still the chance of you not even drawing this card until way later in the game
Overall really disappointing and a really crap legendary, I hope i don’t open this.
I don’t get why Blizz is releasing so many dud cards first for this Expansion, it’s honestly killing the hype hard… Gravedigger… Prince and now this…. (Cough*Chillblade is pretty meh too)
Starting to feel kinda bad so far for the people who pre-ordered
