quicksort [] = [] quicksort (x:xs) = quicksort small ++ (x : quicksort large) where small = [y | y <- xs, y <= x] large = [y | y <- xs, y > x]
So, when you use him against a bomb warrior and he shuffles a bomb into your deck the order gets random again? I got Thaurissan and I should get Reno after that but instead I got Raise dead which costs 0. Anyone know this?
yes. if a card is shuffled into your deck after you played Polkelt the deck order becomes random again.
you can simulate this very easy with Soul Demon hunter ( play Polkelt, shuffle souls and see impact).
I agree that this should not be the behavior and seems like a bug. (since the text says shuffle a card and not re-shuffle the deck)
It's not a bug. A couple of years ago (2017-2018) Ben Brode said that whenever a card is shuffled into a deck, the whole deck is shuffled, despite the card does not say it.
How come the animation shuffles MY deck when my opponent plays it?
It's missing the type signature !!!
quicksort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a]
Finally, I can reliably draw the uther!
Will be good with the warlock draw quest. 0 mana mechathun or bloodreaver guldan
I do wonder if the artists for these cards actually played WoW or even knew what Scholomance was. This isn’t Polkelt
The Instant Golden Craft
Turn 6: Heistbaron Togwaggle, Turn 7: Lorekeeper Polkelt + Wondrous Wand, Draw Malygos and Alexstrasza for 0 or 1 mana, Turn 8: Finish opponent with the dragons, Sinister Strike, Eviscerate and Shiv.
Can also use Lorekeeper Polkelt with Galakrond, the Apocalypse or Galakrond, Azeroth's End, but that might be more tricky because you don't want to draw your Malygos before you discount it with Galakrond (so you'll need to play the combo in turn 10 with The Coin or run a 10-cost card like Scrapyard Colossus, drawing Alexstrasza for 9 and then playing discounted Malygos for a winning combo in turn 10 is also fine...
I think it's good enough to be a staple in Malygos Rogue decks, increasing their winning odds nicely.
what do u think about adding Keymaster Alabaster in Maly Rogue with that Combo ?
is Alex really needed ?
also what u think about Potion of Illusion , Sathrovarr and Jepetto Joybuzz
Alexa is overall a good card that is used to reduce health to 15 to help finishing opponent with Malygos. Sathrovarr and Jepetto Joybuzz could be fun to use to duplicate Malygos, Potion of Illusion is a bit clunky. Keymaster Albaster is 7 mana means the combo might draw Galakrond before it, it can be a nice addition though. Will take some play-testing and observing winrates to see what is really good to include.
Can definitely be used in wild for druids
Such a cool card with so much potential for creativity. I'm excited to try an Aluneth deck with this because I've always wanted some way to selectively draw it. For even more reliability you could run spells only with the only minions being Witchwood Piper and Polkelt. This is one of my favorite Hearthstone cards.
This card is gonna break the game
I think that whenever you shuffle something into the deck it reshuffles the whole deck again, so Albatross should counter this. Maybe, I'm not sure
lmao holy wrath is gonna be a deck again in wild
This could work well in a Jungle Giants deck, that utilises Embiggen and Survival of the Fittest to essentially make the biggest minions possible with a discount on card cost as well. Assuming you play the Embiggen first, otherwise it'll be at the bottom of the deck.
This Legendary is the Definition of META Defining.
Seems possibly good even in a midrange deck with a lot of 4-5 cost minions and spells.
