Summons
How to Get
- This card is earned in the Blackrock Mountain Adventure.
- Defeat Coren Direbrew in the first wing, Blackrock Depths, to unlock two copies of the card.
- Once you have earned the regular version of Grim Patron, you can craft the golden version for 800 Arcane Dust.
Clarificiations
- If Grim Patron has a Divine Shield, and it is attacked, it will not summon another Grim Patron due to it not actually receiving damage. (CM_Zeriyah)
considering the combo takes a few turns to get ready and u need certain cards no its not better then hunter or mechmage people who play huntard can just quit hs
How can you say that this card needs a nerf without even trying it?
Your pally deck cant beat grim patron warrior, so grim patron is OP? It is easy to win when you have the rightcombo, but you have to GET the right combo. Just because you think it's "annoying" doesn't mean they will nerf it. Oh yeah, Control Warrior takes 10K+ dust to make, while Grim Patron Warrior (Senfglas version) costs 700 dust. That's enough reason for the supposed 19 to 20 ratio against Control Warrior, at least in lower ranks.
By your 1st sentence I can tell you don't even understand what I am saying. The card is really good and can easily get out of hand. That is why i think it needs to be nerfed. I have a feel that the people that down voted me don't even understand that lol as I can tell you don't. A card should really have more than a few ways to get countered by almost every deck IMO to put fairness into it. When playing Grim you don't even need that many cards to take it so far.
"Because it is to easy to win when you have the right combo." can be interpreted in many ways. I didn't understand what you were saying, because you didn't make it clear enough. Anyway, as you said, the card is really good and can easily get out of hand, but to do that, it needs other cards to support it. And while you are collecting the combo pieces, the enemy isn't going to sit there sucking their thumbs. While it IS really good, i dont think it warrants a nerf.
I didn't think I needed to respond further but after watching 2 tournaments where every single warrior was a grim patron and each warrior won a game makes my point even stronger. Why do you think everyone and their mother is playing a patron warrior? Because it's bad? Because it is srs good and I can't believe how easy it was to combo it out. This in a way is like undertaker and look what happened to that? I bet you thought there was nothing wrong with that either. I can understand why so many people like it and want to defend it. Who wants a 90% win rate deck to get nerfed?
Overall main reason (Since you have trouble interpreting my posts) is it is extremely easy to combo it and there are to many ways to one turn swing a game. Did not see one player playing the deck have trouble or couldn't find the cards to combo it.
There is only two types of warrior that actually work, Control and Grim patron warrior. Grim patron warrior IS very powerful, but look what happened to mech mage. That deck was one of the most powerful when GVG came out, and now it's shit. I do believe after a while, everyone would have figured out how to combat grim patron, and if that doesn't happen, blizzard will probably release some cards meant to counter grim patron, and if that doesn't work and grim patron is still the best deck around, THEN it needs a nerf.
And BTW, there are also many ways to destroy a board of grim patrons. Flamestrike, Shadowflame, Hellfire, Azure drake + Concecrate/Lighting Storm come to mind.
(I dont watch tournaments, so who won those tournament you mentioned? Was it someone playing grim patron warrior? Did grim patron warrior?)
Hey again. Totally forgot to post but watching another tournament made me think of this. I am not going to be able to watch the whole tournament but I can tell you the only warriors going on right now is patron warriors which were 4. On top of that each patron warrior deck won their match and 2 of the decks won with grim patron itself. While the other 2 did board clears and a heck lot of damage with grim patron. So according to the stats so far patron has a 100% win ratio lol. Tournament is called Team League Championships and it is going on right now.
This an Dr. Boom, Blizzard high as balls
Was bored and been meaning to reply to this. When warsong was nerfed there were 4 casters at the very next HS tournament saying that now that warsong is nerfed, grim patron got stronger. That furthermore proves my point that this card is the one that really needs to be nerfed. People still using the card and still doing the same combos just takes 1 extra turn.
Love this card, despite a number of folks asking Blizzard to nerf it. :P
Works best in Warrior, obviously, but I'm toying with using it in Rogue and Mage. ;)
love the deck, love the card, had to craft it in golden :3
He has one of the worst artworks in hearthstone though; just below Kill Command and Arcane Intellect. It's like they took an in-game screenshot of the npc from WoW before the visual update.
PILE ON!!!
1-Throw Grim Patron in the empty board
2-Cast Commanding Shout
3-Cast Bouncing Blade
4-Go mad and start running in the street shouting "Everyone! Get in here"
5-Die
6-At Heavens (or Hell, if you played Face Hunter before) recieve a message that the match is not over yet
7-Get banished and come back to life
8-Go home and burn your computer
PS. That's a joke, I don't hate Face Hunters and I DO NOT recommend doing this.
HOW TO USE GRIM PATRON:
I fit Majordomo Executus into a Grim Patron deck,
So far have won every game as Ragnaros
"BY FIRE BE PURGED"
I don't recommend it, normally you can loose to 2~3 cards, for example, Big Game Hunter + Fireball + Frostbolt, not to mention Eviscerate or Pyroblast, ANY combo kills you easily, so re-think your idea. Please, understand: Majordomo Executus SUCKS. Use Ragnaros the Firelord card instead, It's actually cheaper and it's not a insta-death, but it's a insta-effect (It basically has Charge if you think about it)
All 0 games that you won Kappa
I have won more games as a warrior with this card in the last week than I did in all of last year.
