So, Mysterious Challenger is OP. Belive me, I am not one of those scrubs who calls OP on every single decent card. But that card is just stupid. If you play him while having board control, you usually just win.
You can even run it as an one-off in a control deck with like two Noble Sacrifice and one Repentance to gain tempo advantage against other control decks.
The best counter - Flare - is hunter only and about as effective as BGH is against Dr. Boom; not enough. You still got 6/6 on the board and clean deck
This has to be the single best class card of TGT. As a devoted paladin player, i love it, but hands down, it is overpowered, no doubt.
i have lost faith in what people deem OP remember when posts where filled with NERF DOCBOOM comments everywhere? same with mechmage? don't worry this will die down when people had enough of how fun this card is... also please tell me which secretdin are you all mad at? the midrange variant the aggro cancer variant or my favorite the control variant it brought up a archetype and ill give blizzard some props for having the guts to support a archetype that never saw extreme play!!!
Just got my first 12 win Arena drafting 2 of these and with only 4 secrets. Drew him every game , not a turn 6 play with no board. They couldn't take back the board. Only a level 24 Paladin and not a single Paladin cards crafted for constructed. Easy win card
I was never mad about Dr. Boom, even though he seemed stronger than any other card in the game. Why? Simply because it was a neutral card and every class had access to it. But this? This is madness. And only one class can effectively counter this by running a under-average card (Flare).
Solution: obvious nerf or a new card: neutral minion with Flare-like effect (which I don't know how didn't get released alongside with this).
I'm pretty sure Blizzard has heard the players screaming at them that Mad Scientist is overpowered. And what do they do? Take a giant shit on them by combining like 3 to 5 Mad scientists in to one card that even has it as a battlecry instead of deathrattle. = D
At least you can clear Redemption, Avenge and Noble Sacrifice with just a single attack, but still... They couldve given him less stats, a higher cost and the effect Joust and he would still be played.
Really... Why is this card a 6/6 but The Mistcaller is a 4/4. Blizzard really seems to have this backwards. Seems like TGT was just really rushed out.
Perfectly Balanced.
Seriously, this is OP on the level of Dr. Boom. Let's see. Doctor Boom is OP because its "perfect" counter (Big Game Hunter) doesn't even completely deal with it. You still get the Boom Bots, which will almost always kill the 4/2 BGH body and often something else. Even when you have the "perfect" counter, Dr. Boom still gets reasonable value. If not, this card can sometimes be an I-win button.
The "perfect" counter to this would be Flare. Even then, you used 2 mana and your opponent still has a 6 mana 6/6. Even when you have this ideal solution, it still gets roughly the value of a good time to play Dread Infernal. If not, this card is often an I-win button.
Similiarities, similarities.
Hello Flare!
First few comments: meh, won't see play
Last few comments: Nerf! OP! Cancer!
I am gonna sue blizzard for the chemo I need after facing this card.
Reading the page 1 comments vs the page 6 comments when it was revealed gives a great sense of perspective.
Dr. Boom's best friend. Broken.
When I first played this and then the turn later Dr. Boom, my first though was.... "Why isnt this Legendary with a stronger effect?" It can be a powerful card.
I have a positive winrate against them and I'm not running either so something's not adding up here.
Change to Deathrattle Plox not like Mad Scientist is battlecry enough already
Yes this is an "Epic" card, but it is pretty broken as well. Bring out 4 secrets in just one turn via battlecry, is simply insane. The facepalm moment when I saw my opponent bringing out 4 secrets all at once.
omg nerf this op shit with battacry? 6/6 boy for 6 and effect like this? it should be inspire
bad design at its best.
Does Mysterious Challenger have a counterpart in WoW?
Just lost twice to this card.
Opponent turn 6 Mysterious Challenger: 4 secrets are into play. WTF?! I lost the next turn.
