As said: "Thanks Blizzard for the 10 mana 12/12, but I think I'll stick to my perfectly balanced, infinitely-generating 1 mana 12/12's."
Why oh' why did they think Druid needed this?
It's very sarcastic, but in this case it's the plain out truth no matter how you twist it. It's already out-valued by a 1 drop.
Unless another card or the quest will have some interaction with it... well... Blizzard already shot them selves in the foot with this one.
This does not even have neutral Legendary curve value. Yet alone CLASS LEGENDARY curve value. Should have put a Taunt sticker on it. Then perhaps, maybe it would be accepted.
We'll just have to see the rest of the set cards and hope one or more of it has something to do with this Legendary. in terms of synergy :P
It feels like player-made card, not hearthstone feels.
I sometimes like to think of ideal 10-drop as the Son Goku of Hearthstone cards: always late to the fight, yet able to table-flip the board once they land. Deathwing is a board wipe attached to a 12/12; N'Zoth summons a full board; Yogg-Saron statistically wipes the board and produces card advantage. Tyrantus, sadly, is not the ideal 10-drop.
I watch Brian Kibler's card reviews, and a point I've noticed he repeats is that late-game cards in Hearthstone are, in general, objectively worse than their early-game counterparts. You essentially pay two costs when running a big minion: first, the massive upfront cost, and second, the opportunity cost associated with having a dead card stranded in your hand until Turn 9 or 10. As a result, any deck which runs a big minion must assess whether its benefits justify that opportunity cost.
Certainly, some mechanics in Hearthstone help alleviate this cost. Blackrock Mountain did this with Dragon synergy: cards like Twilight Guardian and Blackwing Corruptor justified having a "dead" Alexstrasza in hand. Whispers did this with the the Old Gods: cards like Klaxxi Amber-Weaver and Twin-Emperor Veklor rewarded the player for running and powering up C'thun. Some individual cards like Cenarius, Ysera, and Onyxia produce a strong enough board presence to warrant their high cost on their own.
But Tyrantus has none of these benefits. Tyrantus is a pile of stats which does nothing to control or affect the board state. It's simply not a win condition.
Some may point to Tyrantus's monstrous 12/12 statline and its immunity to transform and hard removal spells, and say that this makes the card competitively viable. But statlines alone don't win games at Turn 10. Immunity to removal doesn't protect from face damage. Soggoth the Slitherer and Deathwing do its job better. If Tyrantus has a home on ladder, it's in a deck like Ramp Druid which runs large numbers of big minions, and cares for quantity over quality.
You pretty much said everything
The first thing i've learned in Hearthstone is that big stats card =/= good card , and like you said Tyrantus is just a pile of stats which isn't worth a lot.
I think that we can only hope that the druid quest helps in making a card like this viable. Maybe they're are trying to push a beast/ramp druid deck, and as a result the quest will be something like a permanent mana cost reduction (may like a permanent naga sea witch effect, idk just throwing an idea out). But yes you are right, as of right now this card just doesn't make the cut.
Am I the only one who thinks that the art on this card is not that tyrantish?
Yeah the art is a bit disappointing in my opinion. It has an open mouth so why not make it be eating another dinosaur in a
type of way.
I've got a beast in mei seeeeights!
remember when we had to nerf BGH and silence because it was everywhere and really rstricted the meta....do we want to go back to that?
BGH hall of fame incoming ?
Confirmed Blizzard only know T-rex as dinosaurs
I'm pretty sure this being a Beast means Druid will have a "Summon X amount of Beasts" quest.
I'm guessing it'll be something like "adapt x amount of times/minions."
Edit: I wouldn't read into it being a beast. The theme is dinosaurs, and dinosaurs are beasts. Warlock even has 2 revealed, along with paladin, and warrior's legendary is also a dinosaur. It's just because of the dino theme. For now, druid has 2 adapt cards and 2 beasts revealed. Adapt seems to be their theme.
meh...
