Body and effect. Will be in every Zoolock.
Some of you clearly do not see the value of destroying one of your opponents cards with a solid base line unit. I smell a Zoo/Mill archetype here.
it's funny to see noobs getting excited over river crocolisk.
I must say the art is pretty cool and the voice line turned out great. "let me give you a kiss" or something cute like that in a cute vampire voice.
I have absolutely no idea why on earth this card is getting so much attention. So the cards only positives are that it has a "chance" to wreck combo decks, and that's pretty much it. So let me get this straight. This card if played early in the game gives you about a 1/24 "chance" to wreck their combo. Okay, so the best case scenario is that you play this card when they have about 10-12 cards left, when they're looking for the last piece of their combo, which is still no better than 10%. So are we playing poker here, or are we playing hearthstone. Even in these scenarios, you have to be playing against a "combo" deck which currently don't really exist outside of quest mage, which it doesn't hurt because the quest is always safely played on turn one, and there is no way gnomeferatu can mill time warp. Sure the card may get rid of a key card in a non combo deck, but because of all the discover/random generation mechanics nowadays, like stonehill defender, you can just make a new win condition from nothing in the late game. And contrary to peoples' opinions, this card does NOT have solid enough stats, because there's a reason people don't play river crocolisk anymore, which is because it sucks and has no effect! This card might as well have the text "battlecry: do absolutely nothing, but have a 3-10% chance to laugh super hard against a deck that doesn't exist". Like guys we have to be joking here, this is a meme card at best, it'll be great for highlights but literally nothing else. Dirty rat does a significantly better job at wrecking combos and it's neutral lol.
I don't think there is soul alive that likes their own combo deck being invalidated through one card, which also has a decent stat line. Imagine playing through a game and your opponent drops this card and removes Antonidas from your Exodia Mage deck. Not Fun. I agree that Dirty Rat is better, but nobody plays Dirty Rat in Warlock, much less Zoolock.
I think you missed my point. This card is really bad at invalidating combos, and has weak stats, so it won't be played over Dirty Rat. If people wanted to play this card in Warlock, they should first seriously consider Dirty Rat, (which by the way, did see play in MSG Warlock, but control warlock sucks rn, which is why it isn't played now) which takes cards out of their hand, which is inherently smaller than the deck, meaning you have a higher success rate of wrecking combos. So if you're playing an exodia mage, or other combo deck, which like I said earlier, don't really exist competitively, you shouldn't really worry about this card because it will likely not be played in a Warlock deck, and if it is played, has a lower success rate than Dirty Rat.
Well I'm definitely putting this dude in my renounce deck because why not
"Randomly discard one of your oponent's deck win condition in one of each 10 games"
"Insta win against any combo deck one of each 4 games"
"Randomly discard one of your oponents best cards in arena. Aka Firelands, Spikereach Steed, Bog Creeper, A good AoE... every now and then."
Yeah. So much fun of a card. This has absolute no counterplay whatsoever and its a solid 2 drop. Most of the games it wont matter what does this discard (in both arena and constructed) but there will be some games decided out its effect. Think about it, sometimes its worth for you to make your opponent overdraw just to mill one card, this does that for free and without any way of beeing stopped.
"randomly increase the odds of the opponent drawing their win coditions by to 1/[cards left -1] in 9/10 cases"
"insta loss against any combo deck in 1/4 games, due to them drawing their combo"
"Randomly remove one of the worst cards of your opponent in arena, for examle Booty Bay Bodyguard and helping them draw their awesome cards ever now and then'
Yeah, for each 'positive' example, there is a 'negative' example, where you actually help your opponent drawing the right card. Especially in Arena, where most cards are fillers.
This card will ruin Hearthstone. Mark my words.
plenty of cards have already ruined hearthstone but people still play it ^^
Apparently, mill is something completely new.
No it wont
This is completely new. Mill requires your opponent to have a full hand. You no longer have to rely on Coldlight Oracle.
You can also just give your opponent a Fel Reaver and mill with that. So what?
How do you suggest you give your opponent a Fel Reaver without their interaction, smartass?
Um, Treachery?
