Now Surrender to Madness makes a lot more sense after this reveal.
A midrange type deck that wants to trade with everything, shuffling cheap minions back into your deck. Turn 10, play Surrender and Bwonsamdi to get a full refill of 1 mana +2/+2 minions. We'll see...
It'll probably be used for some OTK shenanigans instead. Haha.
This has huge potential, it's going to take some serious thinking about but resurrect priest/big priest
a 1 cost malygos after summoning him out repeatedly loads of board clearing. Hmmm
Didn't he just say that the loa are animal spirits? Isn't just this an undead troll?
"Usually animal spirits"
He did say "usually animal spirits", so not all of them are animals.
I think it's counterintuitive to design 8 animals plus a zombie. As an example I'd pick eagles for Priest. It makes sense because eagles has a good vision of their prey just like Thoughtsteal and Chameleos type of cards see the opponent's cards. But ok, I guess they wanted to push the deathrattle theme to Priest, because the existing strong deathrattle archetypes are Hunter's and Rogue's. Sometimes instead of supporting an archetype of a class they shift it, just like pushing Minion Mage and Freeze Shaman themes.
Bwonsamdi is the most Priest loa. He is all about spirits and death. Most of the other loa in general care about life and prosperity so those 2 are very generic theme for the Loa.
That moment when some weird spirit totem is more powerful than the most powerful Loa in the game. To resemble Bwsomandi's power they would have to make him a hero card but for no reason its getting hunter. Still it's probably garbage
Oh man... Spirit of the Dead + Zerek's Cloning Gallery with one Radiant Elemental + Spirit Lash + Bwonsamdi, the Dead the following turn... Damn that value!
turn 1- flame imp
turn 2- keleseth
turn 3- buffed doubling imp
turn 4- coin fungalmancer RIP value...
looks like 10 mana do nothing and costs you 3 cards too. And not 100% guarantee, coz you could draw your elementals.
You my friend, just described the high-roll that is rez priest.
@rajaz1 oh I see you support theorycrafting and give your contribute to get out of an aggro meta too.
It's obvious that aggro means value, but try to think about the Healzoo-box for a moment
Do nothing is disrespectful since you can get Prophet Velen and Malygos in your hand for 2 mana and create a potential OTK.
You drew both your Radiant Elementals? Gilded Gargoyle
@Professor_Shaun I know, but with some differences, since my strategy involves hand-size and can potentially be played also after the next rotation
Too slow for standard I guess. Hopefully it'll work for wild tho. I WILL try that's for sure.
Wild is faster than Standard fyi.
priest has a TON of board clear on wild fyi.
