Silver Vanguard pulls Lichking - -get army of the dead - fill board
This will probably be used in a deck that has a card that reads something like: recruit a minion with 3 or less attack. Kinda like the memewagon. We just haven't seen it yet.
other than warrior deadman's hand, really hard to use card
Why would you want to put that in DMH warrior? If there's one deck where this card would be bad, it's this one.
trash
It's bad but I love it and can't wait to make a deck around it
Charged Devilsaur
That is an interesting point. IF you can get it out and pop it yourself, then you can make some dirty OTK combos using this and Charged Devilsaur...
Kel'Thuzad is going to mess around REAL BAD
If there's a way to reliably recruit this, suddenly this is quite a good card.
The card that will be classified as heavily understated by professionals, and called CRAZY IN ARENA for Kripp
Makes most decks way too top heavy as it requires at least 2/30 late game slots to work at all and several times that to work consistently. I can only see this being run in big druid, and even then it's iffy.
I really hope this is the only 7 drop evolve shamen get until the end of time. Thank you blizzard.
This card is looking so bad to me. Actually most of the expansion looks pretty exciting. But this card is total trash. It recruit 8 mana minion
1) How much 8 mana minions do you run normally? 1-2? There is totally 10-15 8 mana minions in the standard, and part of them is good because of their battlecry effect. For example if you draw al'akir, Tirion or Garosh will be good, but how much more you will have? Ragnaros?
2) Once you draw your 8 mana minions, there will be nothing to recruit. If it was 8 or less, it would be a bit better, but exactly 8, is not good. Actually one of the the reasons to send Ragnaros in to the Hall of fame was because, people almost always play only Ragnaros as 8 mana drop. And if you draw your 8 mana drop, before you play this card, it is total trash of 7 mana 3/3. And the chance to draw all of your 8 mana minions is not so small, for the price which you need to pay.
Maybe there will be some new must to play 8 drops , but for now it looks bad.
Overall, recruit seems to be a weak mechanism. I mean, existing cards with this mechanism are never played, there’s a reason for that. Looks like an expansion filler to me.
What do you mean? Big druid and Big priest both use recruit type mechanics and they're at the top of the meta.
I mean I run like 4 8 drops in my wild n'zoth pally
I see the concerns in this card being a deathrattle, but I think people being worried about silencing it isn't as big of a concern as it should be. Afterall, not many classes have a class specific silence & the one-of Spellbreaker that only some people run might have already been used prior to turn 7+ or may not be drawn at all.
Other removal for this that classes have?
Mages - Poly (Easy to bait out with other more threatening targets & often just a one-of)
Locks - Trade and then Nether?
Priest - Silence (natural or from lyra)
Rogue - Sap or Vanish
Druid - None
Shaman - Hex (if they even run it) & Devolve (this would probably help more than hurt if you're not comboing)
Hunter - None (Unless lucky Rexxar shennanigans)
None - Trade and then Brawl?
Pally - Trade and then Equality or Aldor?
