C'Thun counter?
those cards are accessories. The best cards in Patron is, has always been and always will be Death's Bite. Even back in the Warsong days, Patron never would have been close to what it became without Death's Bite. Death's Bite is the best weapon in the game and playing Patron without Death's Bite is like playing Malygos without spells.
This card unlike Troggzor, have a effect that is much easier to trigger. Closest comparison we have is Imp-Gang boss, which is a must include in Warlock, despite 0 synergy. Why? Because it have OP value.
Anyway, vanilla value is atleast 8/8, barely any deck can remove this without damaging it, except mill druid and control priest. Anyway 8/8 is above vanilla value and it is much harder to remove compared to Hogger who give 6/6 in 2 body, which is still good considering mana value of taunt but fall into a bad niche of the game.
It is above 4 hp statline which means it doesn't get removed by most spells in the game, (Since Mage can easily deal 4 damage with HP + 3 damage spells, Flamestrike, Druid have Swipe)
I haven't even mentioned the combo synergy everyone was talking about, Warrior spells, Mage HP, Priest Heal and Knife juggler. This card is strong if you remove it in 1 hit, and stronger if you can't remove it in 1 hit. I can't see this not being OP. Anyway, this is neutral and push the game is a good direction. So i have no problem with this guy changing the meta.
I believe this card is intended to be a counter to C'Thun and I foresee a board being filled with 2/2 taunts...
Everyone is saying it, but obviously with warrior, and it would work sorta as a Dr. Boom replacement
EXPERT SET JUST SETBACK!
Biggest problem with using this card Patron style is you will damage your own Gnolls potentially with AoE generators. Okay card, but probably not game breaking like Patrons were.
Put this in a Patron deck and it might be enough for them to run Bolster. Patrons would overrun ladder once again. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Nice card! Amazing art :)
I like the sound of this and Bouncing Blade in Wild. :)
Bouncing Blade is not the best of ideas since a minion is spawn after every damage it takes. It'd just damage those minions and be a waste of 3 mana.
And then your opponent plays Lightbomb or Twisting Nether
interesting card. Why does it have to be hogger though??? They could've came up with a dozen other lore monsters that could've fit this card. They already have hogger. The name sounds so dumb, and will be super annoying to say
I've already taken to just calling him "evil hogger"
Both Hoggers are evil
please don't tell me that were just going to get "corrupted" forms of the other vanilla legendaries as the legendaries for this one. God that would be awful.
well it's different than normal hogger. least with this guy you are basically guaranteed 1 or 2 gnolls where with regular hogger you got 1 and if you were losing you basically only got 1.
