Welcome back, old girl.
Hmmm... what if she stole the remaining health of what she killed?
Think it make her more worthy of her legendary tag, and would just help her keep her alive against the stronger targets she'd be facing late game. Not sure if it would require a mana cost adjustment or not, but she really is not worth her current cost. Oh and lastly like many early legendaries she lacks any sort of on play animation. Giving her a copy of Hadronox's play animation would suit her quite well, or perhaps a similar web field animation.
I remember this card working wonders in the rare instance where I played Tundra Rhino the turn before. I even had it in a Grim Patron deck, using Warsong Commander back when she gave minions charge. I don't think it would work very well in wild, though
that card text looks a lot more barren now
The most useless legendary in my opinion... At least it's free
No no you're both mistaken Majordomo is waaaaaaaaaaay more useless
atlest majordomo is fun and can halp you win games if the opponent gets it
But now you can use it to beat the lich king as paladin if you are extremely lucky, gg best card.
Lady in White makes this not so bad 🤔
Or does it? If it has 8 attack then poison isn't really needed so you could probably find better minions for that.
So, how many of you will be disenchanting this one when Standard hits?
Nah, Maexxna is the only Deathtouch creature with high health. If they print in future sets strong high health, low attack utility creatures, this might become relevant in Wild. There could also be other cards that make Maexxna relevant.
Devastatingly weak against Priests. Can be hit by Shadow Word: Pain or worse, Cabal Shadow Priest. Vulnerable to Stampeding Kodo but you usually don't see those in constructed.
Can trade favorably for bigger minions... sometimes... but the things big enough to be worth hitting usually will either kill Maexxna or reduce her to range of a ping hero power. If she can't often go 2 for 1, the inability to go face very well just makes her a worse Boulderfist Ogre.
The dream is to hit Ysera or Malygos but that never goes favorably. Most of the time, Malygos is played to get lethal right away, so being able to attack into it favorably is useless. As for Ysera, if Ysera is played first, responding with Maexxna gives your opponent an extra Dream Card (which isn't good at all), but if Maexxna is played first then your opponent will simply hold off on Ysera until after Maexxna's off the field.
Cabal Shadow Priest likes this card.
Value from Webspinner especially in mid range hunter.
Golden animation is wonderful
Doesnt seems all that great in PvP outside of control hunter but hey, its free so cant complain there I guess >.>
As a priest I notice the 8 toughness and that she will always get her man, like the emperor cobra. That is, barring any shenanigans with the cabal shadow priest or the kodo. Seems rock solid and a great addition to priest decks everywhere.
