I'd deal with this over Obsidian Statue any day.
This card + Demonfire or Bloodfury Potion next turn is cool
With that value can we at least have as 4/9? Yeah I know, this is asking too much.
Well. That's interesting. This card is seriously solid value, being, let's be reasonable here, about 3/18 of stats for 9 mana, which can be summoned back by both Gul'dan and N'zoth.
However, there are some downsides with this. First, the Voidwalkers can also be summoned back, seriously lowering the value of your Gul'dan in any deck where you're aiming for solid demon resurrection, a bit like using Vilefin Inquisitor in anyfin paladin. Interestingly, though, this isn't a total loss, since it makes your board hard to mass clear (I.E. flamestrike leaves the voidlord), and single target removal leaves the Voidwalkers.
Secondly, it's a full 9 mana. That's a slot where it needs to be seriously impactful, such as N'zoth, or Gul'dan, or Anyfin (All 10 mana, but there's not much to do with that last mana anyway, in my experience). The taunt is majorly powerful, but any silence makes it a 5-6 mana value vanilla minion, at a time when you really needed that survivability, and since you just spent your whole turn on it, you're left in a very bad position. However, the fact that aggro decks sometimes run Spellbreaker is testament to the fact that minions like this do see play.
So, do I think it'll see play? Yes. The double-resurrection, combined with the sturdy board it represents seems pretty solid. I'd also note that the statline is perfect for any kind of buffs (bloodfury potion, for instance. A 6/12 is terrifying board presence) I'd say it will not be a scourge on the ladder, though.
hi jack, i see I found a real life friend on the internet. This card is trash tho.
tl;dr - this card is seriously interesting
its true, don't downvote me, we are dota/hs buddies and when I randomly was browsing hearthpwn and saw him it was a cool moment.
1- it is 6/18 stats for 9 mana (3/9 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3)
2- when you play this it is insane value and mainly vs Tempo and Aggro decks where helps you survive
3- its a push for Highlander Warlock which can be helpful to build it with Krul the Unshackled
4- the Voidwalkers can be buffed by Crystalweaver which can lead to more insane value
5- this card is going to push Warlock a lot in arena with that value and insane tempo
6- its a buff for Stonehill Defender in warlock which helped in control matchups
I think the card is impactful enough to see play in control or highlander warlock and I can see N'Zoth, the Corruptor warlock become a thing just with this card
I'd argue for first summon it's only a 3/18, for the same reason that I'd say that cairne bloodhoof is more of a 4/10 than anything. Basically, you're only going to have either the (3/9) or the (1/3)*3 on board at once, so for practical purposes, it's always a 3 attack minion.
Very poor choice of name.
Hmm? Why?
Redshed2017: Because most wow players already have a hard time telling void lords and voidlords appart.
To quoth wowpedia:
Void lord or voidlord may refer to:
I think it is best to leave void lords, Voidlords, void lords and Void Lords alone.
Ah, alright I see, but I don't see the confusion causing any problems. It doesn't seem like the void lords are ever going to become a card considering that they are on the level of entities such as Sargeras and the Pantheon. The name of the card won't cause any confusion in-game.
nice, i shall pinsize and let me change ur mind
Out of my jungle!
get a Summoning Portal behind this and you have quite a situation to deal with
