That's why i'm gonna put in my deck Mass Dispel
This card is crazy broken.
Doubtful, as they only nerf basic and classic cards.
why would they nerf a card that's just ok?
Well yes, they do nerf other cards sometimes, so I should have said "mostly" instead of "only".
But they did clearly show that they're more prompt nerfing evergreen cards than expansion cards. Those cards are kind of exceptions, because people complained quite a lot on the efficiency of Yogg, which was only supposed to be "for fun", and on the power level of Shaman and Call of the Wild, and their data supported those complains.
So yeah, they nerfed them, but it's still a rare occurrence, and definitely not something that'll happen to Pint-Size Potion.
On a side note, before Standard, they didn't even want to nerf classic cards, so maybe they're becoming more and more open to changes, which is a good thing in my opinion.
-3 from ALL enemy minions for 1 mana?
That's pretty OP considering all the crap we could do with Shrinkmeister
That's the point... he is no longer here but he enabled lot of vombos..and this one more.
Say hi to Lantern Control Priest.
Love how they brought back Demoralizing Roar from Alpha.
I think this fits priest better than druid with all the conditional cards priest has. now they have an answer to those 4 attack minions.
They should have left it in Alpha.
IMO very weak by itself, still not all the great with Shadow Word: Horror as it can kill your own minions as well, nowhere as close as equality combo. Also with Cabal Shadow Priest, stealing a card with 5 or less ATK is not worth all the trouble, as most of good minion can be easily stolen with mind control.
IMO this could be much better if doubled up with a secondary effect, even a weak one, like heal for 2 or something.
Nonetheless, I am not saying this is a bad card, but I won't live up to all the hype here.
I think like Shrinkmeister, this card will once again cause Cairne Bloodhoof and Ysera to phase out of the next meta. This extends even to Sylvanas Windrunner, which I am actually a little happy about, been seeing that in too many decks lately.
People do not realize how stupidly OP Pint-Size Potion is. It solves the only two problems facing Control Priest (and any other Priest deck that likes board control). It solves dealing with 4-attack minions, and it solves attacking. Let's take a closer look at this card and how it will affect Priest and the game in general.
1: Spells and cards that do things based on Attack.
This card is a huge buff to a lot of Priest cards, which I think is what they really need. Priest has a lot of good cards, just not cards that can form a cohesive deck that stands up to aggro. Shadow Word: Pain is finally much, much more viable, to the point where it's comparable to BGH. The wombo combo these cards can create with just 1 copy of Pint-Size Potion is insanity. Shadow Word: Pain can now target 6 or 9 attack minions, based on how many you cast at once. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Let's talk about control. I don't mean board control, I mean controlling other people's minions. Priest has long been famous for having so many stealing cards that can be so ineffective. Let's think about
KabalCabal Shadow Priest. It's great value, but not that good because it's a 6-drop, and can only target 2 attack or less minions. But now, with 1 or 2 Pint-Size Potions, you can yoink that Ysera, wrangle that Rag, and get poetic justice by snagging a Sylvanas. It's a bit ironic that this card comes out in an expansion about crime, because this is gonna work with theft.The exact same thing comes up with Potion of Madness or Shadow Madness. Ah, so your opponent played a big, bad Deathrattle minion and you don't know how to deal with the minion or the Deathrattle? Well, guess what? They're both yours for a turn, and it is way easier to kill your own minion than an enemy minion. Cast this once, steal a Cairne Bloodhoof, smack it into whatever minion your opponent still has, and enjoy your 4/5. OP.
Also, Shadow Word: Horror is now viable! Cast two of these babies and watch your opponent concede when you play what was once a terrible card.
2: Trading.
Do I even need to talk about how much easier it is to trade with a zero-attack minion? No? ok
Hope you enjoyed the review- keep an eye out for more reviews of mine as the new cards come out!
It's all enemy minions.
The opposite of a Viagra? Must not sell well.
The old days where cards actually had a "cost" to make up for their power.
Shrinkmeister, eat your heart out.
So, i am going to see Shadow word horror for the first time?
And you guys thought Tirion was the most broken card in the game? think again
