One word: zetaGasm !!
For the people who say "jade priest".
You do know that in a jade mirror the person witht he bigger jades wins? So based on that... the enemy would have a 6 turn advantage for his jade size... means by the time you manage to copy his deck you're allready super far behind... (and that is if you manage to draw him on curve)
I might see this work with lightbombs and lots of tempo to draw stuff... but if he is you last card, then you still have a big problem
Jade priest confirmed
It's a fun ability for sure, but bad for all the same reasons that Prince Melchazar is bad. Shuffling 15~20 random cards into your own deck is only going to make it harder for you to achieve whatever your deck's goal is. Unless your goal is to just play Archbishop Benedictus and make le epic meme, I mean.
Outside of long control matchups that can sustain well into fatigue I don't see much practical use for it. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing highlights of the innevitable infinite Archbishop vs Archbishop matchup where neither deck bothered to add any win conditions.
Mill priest?
It would be hard to mill your opponent after you shuffle all their non-mill cards into your own deck and you start drawing those instead of cards that force your opponent to overdraw.
You need tonns of card draw tho. Reminds of Malchezaar who breaks all combo stuff with his "legions" of Lorewalkers and Fishermen
Whatta hell is this, kid?
Ben, you crazy little...Ben.
Time to update every one of my decklists. It's time for my 2 copies of Magma Rager to shine.
Ben Brode is having a heart attack right now
Mixed feelings:
Against Control: "Value, value everywhere!"
Against Aggro: "Dilute your deck with Aggro crap"
With aggro you will be dead by turn 5 :D
True dat :D
It is not good card.
At turn 7 your opponent have about let say 20ish +- cards depends.
and now it is shuffled and randomize at your deck - with your cards ! JUST THINK about it - NOT GOOD
this card will be use only at very late game and be EZ wracked against Jade druide.
People will play sometimes around this card.
I think Jade idol is here to stay because priest cant keep up with the jade becoming so big and copy it is the worse thing for priest
because it will be counting jade from zero.
Card that kills your SYNERGY
But still very cool and fun funny card ;-)
I don't even care if this is broken, I don't want to figure if it is. I just want to see it in action.
Also, get ready for people getting rekt because their Reno effects get turned off after playing this guy lol
How exactly is Reno turned off by this card?
Shuffling copies of your opponent's cards that become duplicates of cards from your own deck.
(a)...on the chance that the copied deck introduces duplicates, which might or might not happen.
(b) And why would Reno players include him and "get wrecked", since everyone knows what might happen? Reno priests already have other ways to get plenty of value.
