Extra points for saying “eat” instead of “destroy”. Sometimes it’s the little things that people appreciate.
Now we just need them to change Carnivorous Cube and Moat Lurker to read "eat" as well for consistency.
@Magikurp You simply don't understand the meaning of "destroy". Carnivorous Cube and Moat Lurker effectively destroy the minions targetted. Gral DOES NOT. Destroying a minion means putting a minion IN THE BATTLEFIELD to the graveyard. Gral takes a minion from YOUR DECK, hence why they couldn't say the keyword "destroy" here
That's a very aggressive way to say something so wrong. Destroying isn't just used for minions at all. You can destroy a mana crystal (Blastcrystal Potion), a weapon (Acidic Swamp Ooze), a secret (Chief Inspector) an entire deck (Azari, the Devourer) and yes, even a card from your deck (Hemet, Jungle Hunter). Yikes.
wasn't really feeling it at first, but people are kind of right. At worst it eats a mediocre statted minion but it effectively draw a card.
I'm just wondering if there'S a way to reduce the number of low cost minions in a Rogue deck and still have it work. On the other hand, Barnes was broken enough to be run in decks even when you had plenty of bad outcomes, so maybe this fits into the same vein.
At the very least it might improve next expansion when nobody can run Fire Fly and Dire Mole anymore.
Also, everybody who owns The Darkness is contractually obligated to craft this card and meme with it.
Even if this eats a 4/4 the statline is still great. Ofc silence is bad, but silence rekts mosts cards anyway.
Might be 10/10 on 5 when it eats The Lich King, even a 5/6 after eating Vilespine Slayer is nice since you get the card.
If it gets silenced, your other minions is gone and you get a 2/2.
It's a risky tempo card with a very nice payoff. Very flavorful too!
Now the real question: Will this become a 22/22 after eating The Darkness? OP OP insta golden craft
should work with Darkness. I mean, the minion itself is always a 20/20, it just goes dormant when it hits the field, but that's not an issue for Gral.
Obviously every viable deck will have some way to deal with it on turn 5, but the memes are worth it.
Does it trigger the deathrattle effect of eaten card ?
no
To be on an equal level as Polluted Hoarder this needs to eat an one-drop. I guess on average you would eat 3- or 4-drop. So it will be 5 mana 5/6 or 6/7 with deathrattle draw a minion on average when played in some kind of midrange deck. This would be worse in aggro. I guess playable in Baku decks. Downside is vulnerability to silence.
Would be cool if you could discover what to eat, would play it in big rogue then.
Who am i kidding ill play it anyway for fun if ill get it.
The Sharkness
shark eat giant pogo hopper .. you break weapon and or cast the deathrattle spell .. get more giant pogo hopper bunnies .. GAME EXPLODES
feelsbad the shark is only going to get +1/+1 since pogo hopper is a battlecry
This with the Spirit and the Necrium Blade or Necrium Vial - strong minion on board + refill.
wow this card getting silenced is so bad
Meh.
Does it also gain it's card text ? Probably not as it will be OP... but you never know.
Wut? Why would-- no, lol.
