This....it scares me
Just imagine this in fatigue warrior
How will this work with Barnes... 1/1 then silence... and then when it dies.... re-casted with Eternal Servitude.. No battlecry triggers
That would be busted as all get out, so probably not. Considering the "starts dormant" is outside of the battlecry text, you'll likely get a dormant copy with no way to activate it unless you play the real one or find some other tricksy way to get the candles shuffled in.
You are probably right hehe...
That being said though, I do see it possible (though not necessarily feasible) to get your deck down to just having The Darkness, then using Barnes + Brann/Murmuring Elemental + Youthful/Ancient Brewmaster to fill up as many board slots with it as you can. Then once you play the actual Darkness, shuffle the 3 candles into your opponent's deck, then once those 3 candles are drawn, they should all activate all at the same time. Might work in a mill deck of some sort as long as your opponent has enough room in their hands that the candles don't *ahem* burn.
Hello darkness my old friend I hear it.
*-* maaan
How does this work with recruiting and other "summon from hand/deck" cards? is it still dormant and will never be awakened because you never draw the candles?
Hello darkness my old friend.
This card will kill Razakus priest the same way Skulking Geist killed Jade Druid.
i still see jade druids on ladder a lot. khm. in wich decks ull put the darkness? in keleseth? in druid? in priest? no
thats the joke
i think that was the point actually xDLove this card, want it. But probably just in collection. Cant see him fitting in renopriest, cant see him as real counter. Just compare it to geist, 6 mana 4/6 is ok body and isnt useless in most of match ups. play shade on turn 4 against zoolock or any other aggro or midrange deck. or draw it after raza. meme card
And they said that Purifywould never be good.
It's been confirmed to act like Sherazin in seed form until all candles are drawn. So you can't purify it and it can't be targeted by spells.
Here comes the 4 mana 20/20 memes...
It's not a 4 mana card that does nothing, It shuffles 3 candles into the opponents deck. If you knew anything about how Reno Jackson and Kazakus type effects you wouldn't have had to ask such a stupid question. Look at Reno's card text and think about it for a second.
They can't play Reno or Kazakus because they DON'T WORK when you have duplicates in your deck, i.e. the Darkness Candles. Maybe your English isn't good enough to get your point across - if that is the case I'm sorry - but this card is a decent tech choice against Highlander decks.
