Echo of Magni
The chest of the red Orc looks like an angry Orc.. #Orception
So, this is basically a slightly cheaper Echo of Medivh, but only works on damaged minions?
Excuse me, but you are wrong. If you play against player that can't remove two waves of patrons - then sure, it's not that valuable. But x1 of this card is actually making priest matchup, for example. How many AoE's he have to clean patrons? 4? Allright, then just bring 5 waves of patrons, by playing this on the second wave.
You won't have "only patrons in hand", your hand must be full of activators AND patrons for that to work. You need more activators than general to get value out of it.
It isn't that hard to put just MORE activators in deck in general. You do that on second patron, so by that time you should empty your hand enough so you don't overdraw.
What did you want, really? It's echo-style card, and echo is difficult to setup too. But nobody question echo value.
The only reason patron can't into lategame is because there are only two patrons, so maximum two waves, so two AoE clears seal the deal. But this card allows to extend it to, like, 4 waves easily, and more with some luck.
You don't play Blood Warriors turn later, you play it same turn.
I think this card was going to be called "Blood Brothers" until Blizzard realized that that is just AIDS...........
Sorry m8 that doesn't make sense
Turns out this joke is AIDS.....
I don't think that would help that much Patron's deck. But I think that a Combo Molten Giant/Charge/Faceless Manipulator could easily see plays! :)
So many patrons on the board...
So many patrons in the hand...
So many patrons in the world.
Better Echo of Medivh for warriors?
Worse IMO. I'd pay one extra mana to remove the damaged constraint any day of the week. Imagine if you could play either this or Echo in a random arena deck. I'm not saying it won't see play, and it fits the theme / card combinations for warrior well.
it will be awesome in wild where you still have Death's Bite.
While I'm sure that this - certainly amazing - card will see play, I don't believe that it will be BFF with Grim Patron. While Patrons are great and a few more isn't a bad thing, at some point it will become a 5 mana 3/3, and without the activators almost a dead card. Especially with Death's Bite gone, and the utility of a free Whirlwind. I see it more as a card, suited to solve the problem of Warriors running out of steam, which more or less has prevented them for having a viable midrange deck.
Anyway, time will tell. I really like this card and the flexibility that it brings. Congrats to warrior mains :)
Double AS, whirlwind, BW, x4 AS, whirlwind, BW X7 as on board next turn.
The card should be renamed to Blood Brothers.
