When ancient heroes drove a felhunter into the sea, they thought it was the end. But for Xhilag, it was only the beginning...
Mistermath's Card Ratings for Voyage to the Sunken City:
6/10.
No, this was clearly not a 7/14 with upside for 7 mana. I think the hype around this card was clearly over the top, as four 1/2s is definitely worse than a 4/8. Sure, the passive effect on the appendages looked scary, but it was just the middle ground between Arcane Missiles and Cinderstorm, which isn't that strong of an effect. Also, I don't think I've seen Xhilag upgrade its stalks a single time. Therefore, while it's got passable stats for the cost, and a "fast" effect, it's clear that the card won't go anywhere until DH's token synergies really kick it up a notch.
Edit: Wowie - Xhilag's Stalks got a massive buff, doubling each of their dps to 2 per turn. This means playing Xhilag no longer comes with an Arcane Missiles, but rather something skin to Avenging Wrath, making this card way more powerful (and honestly, quite overpowered). Rating is being revised to 8/10.
I think the minion type is wrong, it should be Eldrazi. xD
Could Caria Felsoul turn into this with all the parts?
I guess yes, the part are summoned even without battlecry, so the colossal works as summon probably. But not sure.
This will work. Pulled from the Wiki's definition for colossal: Whenever a Colossal minion is summoned or transformed into, uncollectible minions called appendages are summoned alongside it.
It works and it works actually even better than playing it from hand. It will spawn 6 Xhilag's Stalk (so you actually fill your full board from empty state). Not sure if it's a bug or feature.
The card is bad to me cause one damage for every tentacles for turn 7 isn't stronger enought and the fact it's random mean doesnt do anything on a board exept if theyr is only one enemy minion on board,with a lot of minions ive seen it upgrade it but tentacles are just 1/2 basicly anything wipes it,only one card will make this viable to me it's Raging Felscreamer to get it on turn 5 to curve well after...even tho running only this card just for this card won't do it we might see back Ilidari Inquisitor too after if this card asn't rotate yet too.
This card gives me those vibes:
A: „Do you watch anime?“
B: „I don‘t like tentacles.“
A: „What?“
B: „What?“
New stapple for Demon Hunter class. This dude is crazy good.
It's a minion ridiculously strong on its own, so It will work as top curve/finisher on midrange/aggro archetypes, and can even work as pseudo board control for slower archetypes (always a good finisher, no matter what you're playing). No need to build around this dude, he'll fit anywhere besides DH combo decks (maybe even some wombo combo can be built around it).
It may seem a little slow, but it'll give aggro decks much more reach, and can snowball any match in 2 turns.
Drakkari Enchanter waving at you.
Xhilag's Stalks (not Xhilag himself) have the end of turn effect... Are you really that stupid?? WHY? Why you have to post things without fucking knowing??
edit : the original post I replied to was deleted it seems, mine is a verbatim of what he said except for the first part, where he said it's a "start of the turn effect". he was rude.
The stalks are still going to shoot twice thou...
Not that people are going to play the combo, but don't you find your response a little aggressive friend?
3/6 for 7 is kinda bad, but dealing 4 damage immediately, and that damage going up every turn is pretty good. I just... don't see how this lives for more than one turn. But it has nice big demon synergy anyway.
Comparing this to Priestess of Fury pre-nerf is pretty illuminating. 1 less health, deals less damage and has a lot less attack, it's also a legendary so you only get one copy, but it's damage goes up every turn. I think... 4 damage on turn 7 might be too low impact? But it's still a fun card.
But I think that's what they were going for anyway, a "fair" Priestess of Fury.
I have time seeing this card being particularly good too, but I guess the 4x 1/2 body may be surprisingly good. They can still attack, gain taunt, give token synergy (right?)
Sooooo no comments? No tokens.
Tokens tokens?
