While I agree that Emperor is better, come on, it was one of the most busted cards in the history of HS. Comparing stuff to it is like saying that “well, this 1-drop is not as good as pre-nerf Undertaker” – duh, of course it’s not.

Another thing is saying that Emperor reduced mana cost of combo pieces by 0-9 mana and this by 0-7 mana is also made to push your argument. In case of Emperor, you were never holding 9 combo pieces (no combo deck used that much), realistically it usually reduced the mana of your COMBO PIECES by 2-4 (as well as other cards, which weren’t combo pieces). In case of this one, you basically drop it only when you have your expensive combo piece, such as Malygos or Togwaggle in your hand, so it should always reduce it by 7, getting you more mana reduction in total. Combo decks have a high amount of cards in hand, but not MINIONS – Maly or Mill Druid play pretty much no minions, which makes it really easy to isolate the card you need in your hand.

Yes, it’s no Emperor. Emperor was a generally strong card, this is strong only in the specific decks and specific circumstances.

I understand that you might not think that it will be a good card (still rating it 1/5 is an overreaction in another way), but sorry, your arguments just seem super flawed.

Shudderwock Shaman would need to drop Keleseth to play this, not sure if worth it.

It will, but then again, you usually don’t cast any spells on your Shudderwock turn (not enough mana), so it’s quite pointless.

I’m 99% sure that Murmuring Elemental doesn’t work with Electra. It would work if Electra read “Your next spell this turn casts an extra time”. But it’s “twice”, not “extra time”, similarly to how Brann Bronzebeard doesn’t stack with himself – “twice” is always twice, doesn’t matter how many times you get it.

It’s 5 or more, sorry! That’s what you get when you try to get it up as quickly as possible 🙂

Sorry, I messed up the exclamation mark when adding it to the deck list. It’s there now! 🙂

Just the normal ones, sadly. Cards that shuffle stuff into your deck always add the base, unbuffed copy.

It does not. This card’s Battlecry is “Your next spell this turn casts twice.”

Twice is always twice, doesn’t matter how many times you play the effect. If it said “an extra time” or something like that, then it would work.

Because those are from the same “species”, if you can call them such. This one is based on Pandaren Water Spirit (http://www.wowhead.com/npc=66950/pandaren-water-spirit). There are also Air, Earth and Fire Spirits, and they all look similar.

Jade Spirit is not a thing in WoW, but the Jade “gang” was heavily inspired by Panderans, so they created a card based on those Spirits, but with Jade instead of one of the Elements.

And to be fair, they don’t even look that alike. It’s like showing two different orcs or even human and saying that they look so much alike. Of course they do, they have two legs, two feet, a nose etc. but those are the basic features of the species.

You people keep focusing on the Elemental tag too much. It’s not a card you play in an Elemental deck. it’s a Midrange/Token card first and foremost.

I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t count as a minion (e.g. doesn’t trigger cards like Explosiv Runes), nor as a spell (for the sake of Counterspell etc.)

Summoning never triggers Battlecries. You need to play a minion from your hand yourself to trigger it.

It’s already shown how Myra’s effect works, actually. It draws cards until your hand is full and then simply burns the rest of your deck in one animation, when you hit full hand it doesn’t draw more. I assume that it would also stop when you empty your deck. Drawing “X”, where X is equal to the current number of cards in your deck would be a weird way to program it and I think that they took stuff like Spiders into consideration.

But we’ll see soon enough 🙂

It still looks bad, to be honest.

Lots and lots of folks were complaining that it’s not a Mech when Shredder etc. is.

The complaint was viable, but this most likely wasn’t made a Mech for balance reasons. So they decided to change the art and focus more on the pilot, not on the Mech.

By the way, I like the new one way more. The first art was probably my least favorite from the whole expansion so far.

Was it confirmed that it works the way you think it does? Isn’t the draw from Myra’s “interrupted” for a moment, the draw from spider resolved, and then draw from Myra continues?

That’s what it looks like at least when you draw a Spider in game right now. You cast Sprint, the first draw gets you a spider, THEN the spider card draws a card, and THEN Sprint continues and draws other 3. Of course, it’s impossible to say how it’s really programmed just by looking at how the animations “look”, but that’s the impression I got.

If it works like you think it does, then those two probably don’t belong into the same deck. But it seems like one of the main selling points of Myra’s Unstable Element, so I would be absolutely surprised if it worked like that.

We’ll have to wait and see. If the draws will proc AFTER your deck gets emptied, then yeah, you definitely don’t want to play Fal’dorei in this deck.

MALYGOS!

It was confirmed that that they will. Basically any token with “Treant” in its name will count 🙂
