That doesn't seem intuitive. If it deals 0 to the divine shield, it means that the shield is not popped, right?
Basically the secret damages the divine shield minion thus breaking the shield, but since it ends up dealing 0 damage the remainder if 6 will go face. At least that's how I'm picturing it.
So it would just be 100% busted and have literally no counterplay (oh except Violet Illusionist wowie)??
This looks like a future mechanic, they're just testing out power level and how it's received.
"Playing a small minion to test for Mirror Entity? Fuck you."
Damage to face is worth less Mana because it's trading card advantage for essentially nothing if it doesn't directly kill the opponent, while if a card can trade 1 for 1 with another card and deal damage to your opponent's face, that's usually pretty good. This is a really scary card to have to play around, because if you play a weak minion into it you just discarded that card and took a Mind Blast.
Wow I like the design on this one. It's actually thought provoking when playing around.
It's pretty fun. It's like a discount Fireball, probably kills a minion, and all the rest hits face. Looks like fun for Burn Mage.
kill a big guy for tempo
or
lots of face damage.
seems like a win-win scenario to me
another ice block counter Kappa ):
Step 1: Play Mirror Entity first, then Explosive Runes.
Step 2: Opponent plays Prophet Valen which then takes 7 damage and 5 to opponent's face.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!
but if you get 500k views on youtube is it worth it?
Anomalus guaranteed board clear😂
They just need to stop letting players reveal these. How else do they think the word "Fluffy" gets put in the card titles?
It is heartpwn meme... they do it when card is revealed not in English initially and official English site doesn't have it yet...
Snipe on Steroids. You can deal 5 damage to your opponent on your first turn using this (Kabal Lackey). Definitely going to craft this if i don't pull any.
Only question is how this affects Mirror Image... Does it or Explosive Runes need to be played first?
I don't think this card will be played to deal 5 to face early on, but it can be a sexy removal tool for secret mage that doesn't lose as much value versus small minion check
