It's one of the best legendaries out there, def. top 10. I would certainly not dust it, cool to have a golden of such a good card. And you can only trade it in for a legendary that is a little bit better, only if you later on get a non-golden bloodmage thalnos in a pack it would be worth to dust it.
-update: nowadays it's more like top 20, but still really nice. I still use it a lot and I never regret crafting it-
dust for rag man
Has card draw, which is always nice and useful. Also cheap way to boost spell damage, makes your Backstab hit for 3 damage for example. But what really makes it good in my opinion, that it has both these things. Very versatile, making it good in lot's of different situations, decks and tactics. Try to not play him on 2 mana unless you are really in need for card draw. Try to save it to boost your spells.
This was one of my first legendary that I got back in beta, I think. I was still a scub and the card looked boring so I disenchanted it. I've been kicking myself for it ever since
A novice player, or perhaps an experienced player who has nonetheless shunned learning about the intricacies of the game, will often undervalue the Bloodmage. They'll say that if they want spell damage they'll take Kobold Geomancer, and if they want card draw they'll use Loot Hoarder instead, often noting that Thalnos's puny 1 attack makes him worthless. This is simply untrue; how often does the extra point of attack matter when you get such versatility? Not only does your Backstab now kill an Antique Healbot in one shot, but you also get through your deck faster, a boon to practically any deck. Thalnos is pure card advantage. He doesn't look like much, but he's one of the best legendaries in the game.
A side note, to those who really want to get the most out of their Bloodmage: Hobgoblin is a fringe strategy at best, but he doesn't buff the Kobold or the Hoarder...
The effect of two cards for the price of one, plus it draws a silence or removal 90% of the time for just 2 mana. I agree.
having to have this card in EVERY deck makes this card boring indeed. Good, but boring.
My favorite card
Mine too. I got a golden one in a pack ;)
I really need to craft this card.
I think this may be my favorite Legendary card. It took a long time for it to grow on me, but it definitely has.
I can not bring myself to craft this card. But i know i have to soon. :(
same it's just so boring and lame compared to other legendaries but it's used in so many decks.
A great card that is also a skill test, because a 1/1 body by itself has very little impact. Use him to trade up to a larger minion with a spell, so that he will then also waste tempo removing the 1/1 that just gave you the great trade. If the situation is right, plays like Thalnos - Swipe or Thalnos - Blizzard are devastating, but I feel that he is better making good early trades like Backstabbing an Amani Berserker or Eviscerating a Chillwind Yeti.
Interesting to note that he will add an extra point of damage to Blade Flurry, even if your weapon is not poisoned.
Got him in a pack and he's in most of my decks. :)
Solid little card.
I would say that this card can find a place in almost all decks.
This card has some amazing value!!!!!
I realy love that card.You cannot replace it with kobold or loot hoader.he is 3 in 1.
