Very well written, although he does remain situational... your example was one of maximum profit, and we have to take into consideration the decks that either have one-turn-kill combos, expendable charging minions or the ones that just don't rely on them too much. Board spam decks also don't have high attack minions, so the overall reduction won't be more useful than just using Equality, Consecration or Aldor.
His effect would be amazing if he set them all to 1 health instead; Equality 2.0 with a nice 3/7 too :D
Legend says that dust coming from Eadric is the purest dust of all.
Just opened a golden one of these... What should I craft from it?
Eadric the Dust
Awesome card against aggro and zoo. makes all of their minions feel like chumps. The card still has a few weaknesses though. It dodges BGH, but a 3/7 is just plain awful for 7 mana. The battlecry is incredibly OP, but it can only be effectively used in certain situations. Better than Bolvar, but worse than Tirion. Really cool card if you ask me.
Overall Card Grade: B+
I run this card in my Paladin decks and it is a life saver late game if you are behind. I have taken an opponent that has been a few minions up on me, move them to 1 attack and then develop my board again.
This card works in way more situations than a lot you are giving it credit for. Try it out and see where it fits, but in my Paladin Deck, it works really well.
When you cost 7 you will be compared to Dr Boom. 7 mana 7/7 is alot better than 7 mana 3/7 even though Eadric ducks under BGH. They both have a powerfull battlecries. If your gong to run Eadric, you should run Dr. Boom as well. (Yes boom is broken, but they are fighting over the 7 drop slot, which you cant have too many of in a deck). He has pritty bad synergy with the Paladin class as 1 attack is enough to break a divine shield or kill a squire. It does makes turn 7 Eadric, turn 8 Tirion awkward as his shield will absorb minimal damage.
Eadric is a counter to boom tho. And even board+boom.
How excactly?
To me it seems like the only thing he does vs boom is to set his attack to 1. The boombots are still as powerfull as ever. Yes he might absorb some explosions but even if he does you still have a 1/7 on the oposing board that can wack your dudes and divine shields. AND lets say you leave a 1/7 dr boom up, cus hes no real treat. But remember that silence equals 6 burst damage while you think that. Eadric would have been great in priest and warrior, but I just think paladin is the class that benefits the least from this effect.
Peacekeeper is good as you pay 1 stat for the effect. Eydric pays at least 5 stats for his. A board of 7 1-attack creatures will still kill you. Id rather play enter the coloseum over this false saviour. :/ But when I get him in my golden monkey preist or warrior deck I will most likely be happy ^^
But the main threat is Dr. Boom, not bots. And he counters it and anything that was on board before. Ye, they still do damage, but you should be able to heal up that if you play control paladin.
Yeah, I guess. Do you play him Eadric btw?
I do, in murlock OTK deck, where I stall the game as much as possible. He is another AoE removal (well, sort of) + decent body. He fits nicely, never though about throwing him out.
after spending more money on this game than i'd like to admit, i finally got this one as my first golden legendary. can't wait to try him out!
Very powerful card for Paladin decks.
it's at its best against a board full of 0 attack minions, really shows them who's boss Kappa
Wailing Soul anyone?
Emperor Thaurissan followed by Eadric the Pure + Stampeding Kodo = 10 mana, coincidence? I think not....
I really don't like how the so called "pros" call all these cards trash. I think Trump just isn't very good at evaluating the meta and card interactions. I mean the guy pretty much said all TGT cards are trash and inspire was to slow. He is already eating his words; give it another month and watch him use all the cards he trashed. Not a very good pro IMO. I bet I'd be better if I played hearthstone all day too...
In Trump's review he basically admitted he might be wrong, openly. He is well aware that he underestimated Dr. Boom and is trying to avoid that same mistake. Considering he'd never seen the card played, it's understandable that he wouldn't know every little situation where it might be good- the situation with the Kodo is already possible, with greater precision on a full board, using only 6 mana or 8 mana without Thaurissan, who isn't run in Paladin control as far as I know.
Also, Eadric is pure trash against Shaman, gives all his normally docile totems +1 attack, which can screw you over at times considering that means a healing totem can kill your dude every round for free... At least (If I remember correctly) Follow De Rules only reduces attack to one instead of "changing" it to 1.
You make a good point but you would be nowhere NEAR Trump if you played all day. He's the best player out there.
