What do u expect? Vol'jin, the warchief of the Horde is a Priest card. The priest is the son of the king of Stormwind, which is not part of the Horde
The least this could have is dealing damage to enemy characters...
what if you have this card in your starting hand? will it still do 2 damage to you and your opponent?
No.
How is FL a mage card?? They couldn't have come up with another mage character that has the same effect?
Besides a passive AOE, this card also plays the mind game with the opponent. The other player now has to HOLD his hard removal, allowing you to play 5/5, 6/6, and other cards. Force the other player to remove and then play the 7/7.
And if you are hovering at 2 or 1, then your game is already lost before this is drawn. Part of the deck construction decisions players have to make.
I dont think you guys are thinking about this right
Almost all Mage class minions have over 2 health (Mana wyrm, Water Elemental, Wee Spellbinder, Blastmage, Snowchugger, Soot Spewer) I think Apprentice is the only mage minions below 3 health.
This card will win you the game if u draw it early against most aggro decks in the current meta (Granted the meta might shift) Against zoo or Hunter is is insane. And since you will most likely draw it on your turn, you will be able to decide how to trade your minions that survived the blast. And you get a 7/7 after all that.
Part of the reason mage has so much trouble on the ladder is that they get so wrecked by aggro decks, and this answers that. And you DONT EVEN have to spend mana to get the effect. If you are playign a spell heavy deck with a majority of minions over 2 health then this card is great at dealing with aggro decks that flood the board.
Such random effect doesn't worth a slot in a serious deck, even more if you want to run this in a deck that relies on minions. I'll rather use Explosive Sheeps, at least I know when they are going to explode.
Guys i just created a petition : https://www.change.org/p/blizzard-entertainment-hearthstone-team-change-flame-leviathan-and-bolvar-fordragon
lets change it
SIGN !
I keep seeing comments like this on the new cards, and they make me sick. Blizzard is one of the best game companies, and I don’t want to sit idly by as people falsely berate them for making “mistakes”.
I was also not very excited about Flame Leviathan when it was first spoiled, even though it utilizes a new and fun mechanic. I also made a few complaints about this card, but then realized my fault. This card is new, very unique, and very creative. Cards like this change the metagame. The mistake I made, and the mistake many others seem to be making, was that I unsuccessfully tried to force it into pre-existing decks. If you think that this card won’t work in your legendary Freeze Mage deck, don’t use it! No one is forcing anyone to use this card, and Freeze Mage is already one of the strong archetypes. I feel as though Blizzard is not trying to make existing decks even stronger, but to encourage new decks.
Lastly, to people who are complaining about the fact that it can kill you if you’re at two life, there aren’t that many cards that will consistently win the game for you at two life. You will often use AOE when you topdeck it, so why not have it for free?
TL;DR: People should not judge this card by its use in decks that already exist, no one is forcing you to use it. Come up with new decks!
wtf...bolvar looks insane!
I won't say it's good. But It IS funny.
I think this is the worst card in this expansion. Mage's should have received some hero legendary card that replaces Jaina or a new minion that can freeze multiple times.
Makes sense. Mages gets a tank. Very Mage-ish and magical. Oh wait.. :P
Why has nobody pointed out how insane this is when Duplicate is in play?
Do I really want to remove a card and deal 4 damage to myself the same turn?
So much crying, not enough positive thought :D
Dat free Flamestrike
Hex or Polymorph or GG
Edit: Unless of course it doesn't count. I'll ask Brode to confirm...
Duplicate is "put 2 copies of it into your hand." Leviathan is "When you draw this..." So it should not trigger.
Effect runs - when you draw this (like is says) or when you play this ? I think they might've made a mistake. The idea of having cards HIDDEN in your hand is so that the opponent has no clue what they are. If this would freeze 3 random enemy opponents when played, that would make things A LOT more imteresting.
This is a CLASS LEGENDARY ( that are supposed to be above all ) that can possibly hurt YOU. In freeze mage it is unplayable. It's effect could come right after you played the 0/2 x2 defense spell, and so on. "I've just helped summon Thaddius ! deal with it" great, thx.
Freeze mage you say....
Player: ok i survived this turn with 1 hp because of ice block and now im goin to kill my opponent with Pyroblast! Hehe...
Nex turn.
Leviathan: No.
OMG. This was not fake. Plzplzplz somebody tell me it not a crap and can be used somehow... Wat are you doing with my favorite class blizz....
what has mage ever done to you blizz ? why would you do this ?
