You know I think I see what they’re doing with warrior it looks like warrior is gearing more towards late game combat and using control and stall for early to midgame. Bombs require you to wait for opponent to draw them the armor gain helps to survive longer. The rush component is for trading minions to keep board control Omega devastator is basically a late game removal or a midgame trading minion. We have a 10 Mana summon 2 copies and this summon 1 copy with rush. So I’d guess we’re looking at a rush mech warrior deck. Early game is for armor gain mostly mid has few minions and late game is when start smashing. It’s a slow deck type but if look at warriors as a class they are the ones who have to take the damage and out last the enemy. This is gearing warriors to be a little more like a tank. A key card to this play as a clue is spirit of the rhino turn rushes are summoned they’re immune meaning can smash anything without fear. I think the main problem is everyone’s been so used to these over powering early-mid game burst decks with constant pressures with overpowered taunts for what they can provide in longer game and combo decks.

This will be a mage card with all those small spell generating cards toss out 1 sorcerers apprentice with this and spam field full of 3 cost beasts. There is also paladin druid and Hunter that that use it. Likely there will only be 1 copy in a deck. Overall it’s a decent card and the pool it pulls from is pretty decent.

Btw this is my new favorite card art wise having a pretty lady giving you a pint now I wonder if has special dialogue involving drunken cards being played.

I think shudderwock wise you’d have to play shudderwock then play this get copy of shudderwock then play that shudderwock. It could be an infinite loop as long as there’s another shudderwock on the board BESIDES the one your playing. Also anyone else notice how absolutely evil this card is when take into account say the lackeys could drop 5 lackeys turn 10 drop this and get a copy of all 5 back. Depending on which ones it is that would be ridiculous there’s also fact that rogue wise you have spirit of the shark…..I’m just going to let y’all think about that last one. Overall shudderwock could be looped but you’d need to have one on the board at all times. Which means your opponent just needs to kill it fast.

What I mean is they’ve been adding anti combo cards like hecklebot and even possibly unseen saboteur. If your opponent does something to an important part of your combo before your ready you may not have another win condition. Like said alot of combo decks use heavy draw power to pull the pieces but if pieces go into play early your in trouble. Like togwaggle druid was if you lost tog or azalina it was likely all over for you because your whole deck was control and draw based. This is basically a card that yes it’s dead till late game but if your opponent used a combo breaker you might still have a chance.

You missed part of step 2 you have to play togwaggles scheme or lab recruiter on archivist elysiana.

I’m waiting for them to drop say undead or humanoid minion type. As a reference look at the all the types in WoW hunters can track. Would open alot more possible card powers there’s also how things like pally spells worked in games. Holy light dmged undead and healed the living could make a whole nother expansion set is had another dead themed expansion.

Turn 4 this if lives turn 5 zentimo and earthen might or could do it all on turn 9. Shaman and rogue are the top 2 for using this though druid and warlock might as well.

Anyone wanna play this in warlock with void contract? The memes of that will be hillarious. Played on a curve your deck will have about 10 cards or less in it anyway. Also for any replies keep in mind what a MEME deck is your goal isn’t a high win chance but to win under ridiculous conditions.

Rogue has a method as well Myra unstable element can draw burn the blood and just refill with espionage. Or they can just overload the deck with cards reducing draw chance of pulling for a while.

I think your also forgetting warlock is losing alot of taunt power as well for standard especially non zoo warlocks. For that reason alone this will probably be played. Otherwise the only warlock decks anyone is going to play is zoo and then you basically made it into a class with only one deck type anyone bothers with. Before we had zoo, cube, and even all seeing reasonable play.

If you want a similar card mage flame Leviathan 7/7 nuked everybody for 2 when drawn that wasn’t a controllable card either and I wasn’t around to know if it saw play, but this you can set up for even if it’s in opening hand 1 use of plot twist and it means most likely when shows again it will heal you. The fact that the heal cost you nothing means the taunt is a bonus like say it’s turn 7 and you need just one more turn to drop twisting nether. Considering warlock is losing several of it’s healing tools and there isn’t much of anymore this expansion this has a lot of value.

This looks usefull especially if get more cards like had in karazhan that deal with minions of certain types as a zoo or token cards this isn’t that bad there’s several class cards that require types to trigger ATM pirate elemental and beast are the most valuable on the field. Dragon leans more towards being in the hand. One play I can see already is shaman turn 4 play this if both amalgam live play zentimo and earthen might on curve to get 2 random elementals and buff 3 minions +2/2 good play in my opinion.

He means there’s alot of cards being added that breaks combos if you lose your combo you’d normally just auto concede. Like druid burning tog or priest burning maly and velen. People build decks around those strategies so if lose them your chances of winning drop insanely. This allows another chance by putting 10 new cards in the deck not linked to the combo. Most combo decks tend to thin they’re deck quickly so 10 more cards is a blessing.

Oh wow this card is awesome let’s mark the top uses. Fatigue stall, removing corrupted blood, also allows anyone to play chef nomi and only requires 2 deck slots. This is a very usefull card for a draw intensive deck. Helps bring to mind that they’re focussing more on battles going to late game with downgrade of power.

Difference is applebaum heal is silenceable along with it’s taunt this can heal even if it’s taunt is silenced. Given the demon tag it’s also targetable by warlock buffing spells. Put it in wild and it joins list of cards summonable by skull of manari. The thing to remember is power is being downsized for standard with more focus on late game plays.

Thing about hooked reaver was required 15 or less health abd even warlock is popping HP and self dmg so much being around 15 health isn’t hard you still ran heal based cards in even lock to recover after dropping hooked or when got to much lower.
I’d still play it because imagining face of opponent when lose to a ridiculous deck is an amusing thought. How would you react if someone killed you with a deck centered around one of the chickens? I came close once then the guy quit.
