I understand that, that doesn't mean it itself can't attack. I'm not saying it's a good card, it just doesn't feel like it's designed to be "Anti-freeze mage" as much as anti-aggro deck. It's giving you a 9 life buffer basically, but it's not even heal as it layers over your existing life total the way armor does. Freeze mage already runs 2x Doomsayer; this card gives you no value versus freeze mage if it just gets "This is the End!!" to the face. Also 3 attack tends to be more relevant versus aggressive decks than freeze mage as freeze mage almost every other deck becomes the aggressor.
Yes, I play against freeze mages though more infrequently than most opposing decks. I already said I understand that it has applications against freeze mage; I'm not disputing that. I was simply saying that I don't think when they developed this guy they specifically had freeze mage tech in mind, Kezan Mystic is better for that by leagues, I think they just thought this was an inventive way for mid-range decks in particular to be able to recover against aggressive decks.
Saying that Kezan Mystic is not a good card feels just wrong to me. There's a very legitimate reason many legendary decks run a copy of it. Yes, it's behind the curve for 4 drop bodies, but it's "okay" at 4/3, and the games where it's good it often is backbreaking.
Priest or Divine Shield paladin card, can be interesting.
Hey....
Let's be real here… Your opponent will most likely hit that instead of you so it's ability is useless. It's basically a 6 mana for a 3/9 with taunt… I've seen better six drops.
hitting face kills it without your minions taking damage
if you want to assess the card look at it in terms of a heal rather than a minion with the extra weakness of being a minion and advantage of being capable of attacking
Phenomenal card for Priests.
I love that it redirects spell but the drawnback, when it can be killed by enemy minions simply atacking your face and not taking damage themselves, is kinda putting me off, This card was showed on stream yesterday and didn't seen to be incredibly strong. I am also interested how does this card work if you have more than 1 copy of it on board. Do both minions take your damage or the first one and if it dies the second one?
One of the most interesting cards in the whole set
So Priest finally has a chance against Freeze mage? Just play and buff this minion's health to 36 with double divine spirit.
yep... and then polymorph
I'd cut an antique healbot for polymorph I guess.
If you are facing an aggro deck, and you drop this card, what will happen is that the enemy will attack face with his minions and all damage will be redirected to this card, but the enemy's minions will take no damage from the attacks as they attacked you.
This means this card is actually terrible against aggro decks because essentially you paid 6 mana to get 9 armor, since you stop 9 damage but the enemy minions are still on the board. Unless you bump this card's life to the roof, but you could do the same with any taunt.
This card does give a good answer to 0tk spell decks, because it is a type os spell taunt.
you are so right!
What happens if you have armor and you take armor damage but your health did not take any damage. Would this card not take damage then, because your health didn't get affected. Anyone?
When you take armore damage, it is still damage to your hero.
Probably "X" armor will get destroyed, and this minion will not "block" dmg from your hero until starts to "bleed" aka all armor is destroyed.
Thats worked damaging effects, like "any minion damaged by this minion" and freezes (back in beta if you have like 4 armor and Water Elemental hits your face, your hero was not Frozen, but Blizzard ''look at that as too OP in Mage vs Warrior matches" )
Wow, dunno about the rest of the pages, but nobody on page 1 said divine spirit? :p
