BIG ( . Y . )
I think I encountered a bug
Played as Rogue, pick pocketed a Hagatha the Witch and played it, then later I played Tess Greymane out of necessity for an AoE. She filled up my hand, got me blink foxes etc.. If it would play every card from other classes why did it not play Hagatha and give me the battlecry again? You can play the same hero card multiple times and still get the battlecry every time??
Oh I see plenty others are finding similar things..
Whenever you play a Hero card, it technically turns you into that class, so Tess plays the cards from other classes that aren't your current one.
So for example, if you get Hagatha, you become a Shaman, so Tess will play all the Rogue cards you played during the game and any others that aren't Shaman cards (Mage, Paladin, etc)!
This isn't true. I just played a game with my Tess-Rogue deck and got Hagatha. I played hagatha to clear the board, and then a couple turns later played Valeera the Hollow. Later, I played Tess expecting all the Shaman cards to be played, and she still skipped the Hagatha card. I've played games & gotten other Hero cards, and Tess has played them again, so I think it's an issue with the Hagatha card.
Actually it's an issue with all the Hero or DK cards. I just had a Rogue take DK Thrall and when he played Tess it played EVERY rogue card he had played up to that point. Talk about some serious BS.
I feel like this should have been a new Rogue hero. That art is way too awesome to be wasted on a card. Meanwhile, Lunaris is super plain, and Nemsy is literally just a closeup from an old Classic card.
Cards obtained from the Lich King are also replayed (happened to me). Bug or feature...?
Lich King's cards are also class cards (Death Knight)
What about Ysera dream cards ?
Ysera cards do not replay. They do have their own border but they're not treated as "Ysera class" like Death Knight is a class.
Just played the most rediculous combo with Tess Greymane, Sonya Shadowdancer and Kor'kron Elite.
Play Kor'kron Elite with Sonya Shadowdancer. Have Kor'kron Elite kill itself and get a 1-Cost 1/1 copy. Resummon the 1-Cost Kor'kron Eliteand kill it to grab another 1-Cost copy.
Repeat until you've killed Kor'kron Elite more than 6 times.
Play Tess Greymane. Summons 6 Full Attack/Health Kor'kron Elite minions.
Use Shadowstep on Tess Greymane.
Play again as needed.
Ez win. Works well with Chillblade Champion too.
So basically against a Rogue is a vanilla 8 mana 6/6 sadface.
I got Face Collector into Lord Jaraxxus yesterday and Tess played all Rogue cards I had played. Just do that. Simple. /s
hey, I guess I was your opponent, because it happened just like you said ! You won, right ?
That's sad there is no Games History, like in LoL :/
Death Knight cards count
Lotus Agents counts as a non-Rogue class card and gives you a Shaman or Druid card to play. She will also replay Death Knight cards created by Arfus or The Lich King.
I did a test against the AI where I played Hagatha, followed by Valeera the Hollow and then Tess, and found the same thing (Hagatha was not played). It seems Blizzard decided not to play hero cards with Tess, perhaps because if they did you would change class again during her battlecry, start playing all the cards not from that class (including another Hero), change class, start playing....
In other words, it might have been a safeguard against infinite loops.
I don't get why this card doesn't replay the battelcries whe it's litteraly "replay" ont the text card... People on reddit mentionned that the card works like N'zoth for the minions, but on n'zoth's text card it's written "summon" and not "replay".
I didn't pay that much attention to this and discovered it the hard way.
I think it is purely to do with space on the card. With spells and weapons she does replay them in the full sense, and she would rightly say "replay all spells and weapons, and summon all minions, from another class...".
The card text is already about as long as they can make it without changing font size (which I am certain Blizzard does not want to change, and they are quite happy for people to learn by playing), so there is simply no space to say it fully.
