Onyxia
Card Text
Battlecry: Summon 1/1 Whelps until your side of the battlefield is full.
Flavor Text
Onyxia long manipulated the Stormwind Court by disguising herself as Lady Katrana Prestor. You would have thought that the giant wings and scales would have been a giveaway.
Card Sounds
Too hard to make due to Onyxia being 9 cost , not that effective either way, since your whelps can die next round , till you get another turn with bloodlust.
Always thought this card was good, but never got around to craft it. I guess alex, ysera, malygos, neferian,(and chromagius), are all more consisten big dragons to put in my decks. Onyxia could fit some token decks better though, but token decks probably arent looking for too many 7+ mana cards.
I have a soft spot for this card. Onyxia has won me so many Tavern Brawls, especially the one where all the minions were 1/1s for 1. Turn 1 Onyxia = Instant concede from my opponent.
that was me
Well done sir, I salute you.
The best turn 1 for that brawl was alexstraza. If you had the coin it was great to play ragnaros the firelord as well
me too. but put in combo druid deck. it's op
luckyyyyyy I only have a regular one =(
If BGH gets nerfed and we don't get an OP card next expansion, Onyxia may be seeing alot more play in standard.
If you look at all these negative comments about onyxia, there's no reason why nozdormu is more liked. wtf
Combo with Soul of the Forest, Savage Roar, Bloodlust, Mukla's Champion, Frostwolf Warlord, Etc.
Onyxia with Soul of the Forest or Savage Roar is OP...or with Stormwind or Raid Leader. Or Mukla's Champion...Board Control in One card
I've had an awesome combo placing her then next turn savage roar - exactly 30 damage
Also you can use wild pyro+shadow word death. It is even cheaper
My opponent just played Onyxia and two Savage Roars on the next turn. I was toast
Just got one of these in a pack... Is there *any* legitimate reason to keep her? I'm mostly a competitive player, although I'm still struggling to climb my way up the ratings. I feel like selling her and getting a more useful legendary is the way to go, but I wanted to see if anyone wants to convince me otherwise. ;)
This is a useful legendary. esp if you play druid and get huge combo wombos
because you don't play druid
