Discuss this Card on the Forums
Join the discussion on our forums! Come discuss Herald Volazj over in our dedicated Herald Volazj discussion topic.
The key thing is that Volazj copies every minion, so it leads to unique cases like my above post about Velen and Maly. Faceless can't give you 120 face damage like that can.
However, Faceless could increase it. The perfect ultimate face damage with Priest would be Velen, Faceless, Faceless, Volazj. Which is 5*2*2*2*2*2*2=320 dmg per Mindblast.
an uncommon scenario you can get with this is copying a C'Thun, and then if you had other cards that could still buff it, it would buff both of them... additionally you can copy Twilight Elder to double its effect... be interesting to see if there are any other C'Thun cards that will have passive effects similar to the Elder
A hard to master card with a ok stats which can be great if timed nicely or can be worst if you didnt .... hearthstone is going in nice direction
Good Job HS team
fits in so many deck archetypes:
deathrattle aggro
OTK malygos/Auchenai/Prophet velen
even divine shield/bloodknight deck
self-silence if 1/1 copys would be silenceable
This card is useless, there is nothing as a combo
there is one card to coppy anything you want and if you want to coppy 3 minions, you already win that game with that board control
i would like to see resurrect legandary ( battle cry: resurrect random legandary that died this game) or ... But this card is totally useless
we paid 50$ to get better cards ... But this is totally shit.
just nice animation :))
If you think 3 minions on board straight up wins you a match, we must be playing different games.
Ragnaros , the Russian, Malygos, nearly every deathrattle minion... This is what I was wanting...
Regarding discussion if after silencing 1/1 copy would give it original stats or not.
Source: Tranformation and copy effects
in my opinion Herald Volazj first summons copy of minion (as Faceless Manipulator does). Then it removes all enchantments and gives new enchantment "set minions attack and health to 1/1" as Keeper of Uldaman does. So silencing it will remove that enchantment and give original stats.
The opposing opinion is "create a new unit with original stats 1/1 as it was in mini tavernbrawl". Silencing it won't give bigger stats.
As i saw, brawls have changed mechanic. For example in current brawl, casting 5 mana spell (with reduced cost to 0), having Summoning Stone on the board will summon 5 mana minion. Outside the brawl Summoning Stone will summon 0 cost minion.
It says pretty plainly that it "Summon[s] a 1/1 copy" - I'll bet good money that silencing the copies doesn't restore their stats. They never had full stats to begin with.
Faceless Manipulator is cheaper and gives you full stats. IN 90%of the cases would be better than this situational pice of shit.
Why so rude...?
New Dr.6? He comes with friends and a decent stat line. Copying taunts/divine shields or decent deathrattles seems good. As has been said, this guy doesn't appear to be overpowered or a must have/must play card- but it seems like he could be really good in the right deck. I like it a lot from the looks of it, well done blizz!
Seems kinda overcosted... should be 5mana I think
Maby a 5 4/4 so it will be more easy to pull out a combo.
First of all even having one minion on board is hard for a priest, because the opponent (if its a contorl deck) will always clear your board. If its a face deck, then this card is just too slow. Ofc sometimes you play it with another minion on like turn 9 or something, and then its a 5-5 and a 1-1.
And even if u manage to have 1 minion on the board, its just a 6mana 6-6 of value, which is sad.
If you have at least 2 minions on board, thats like 6mana 7-7, and thats still not good enough in constructed.
Ofc sometimes you can copy Ragnaros and have a random 8dmg fireball, but thats rarely the case. Its also pretty good with something like Hunted creeper, which unfortunatly says goodbye in Standard. And its good with a few other deathrattle cards, but there aren't too many.
In arena this card is decent, but not even close to legendaries like Onyxia
So i still say that this card should cost 5.
Seems pretty legit. As long as you get 1 minion on board to copy from this, you'll still be getting 6/6 for 6. And that's if it's just a vanilla minion with no abilities!
I can easily forsee this card being a staple for deathrattle Priests. Also agree with the previous statement of this being a card as to one of the reasons that Leper Gnome is being looked at.
In the end though, is this a MUST HAVE legendary? I don't think so. But is it a good Legendary? To that I think "yes." Which is great, because when I card isn't an AUTO include, but makes you think "Maybe yes, Maybe no", I think that is the hallmark of a well designed card.
