Z what bullshit is this?
what is that golden animation, it gives me nightmares
Blizzard why
Here before the nerf happened.
I know shaman needed some help but this might be overselling it a bit lol
Where my hero ice block when i needed her the most
Play Saronite Chain Gang, Grumble, Worldshaker, Lifedrinker twice and if possible a Murmuring Elemental. Watch 3 minutes of animations as you heal to full health, deal 6 to 12 damage to your opponent, and if he doesn't die, you have 1 to 3 other copies of this garbage for 1 mana ready to use in your hand during your next turn, but only if your opponent is dumb enough to not figure out he just lost and keeps playing.
Just when I thought Blizzard could actually make a balanced expansion, they deliver this. So you either beat the living crap out of your shaman opponent by turn 6, or you just lose the game.
you can also throw in mix Marin the Fox, Primordial Drake or Bomb Squad . you cause that opponent's board gets either cleared or empty spots filled with 0/8 minions. And if they can't buff/remove these 0/8's somehow, they are permanently minion blocked if you get to opponen'ts clear board this. Could work against future adventures if they are going to make more.
edit: changed 1 word.
Marin the Fox top clsss BM, I like it :)
Only 2 hours into the expansion and this card has already broke Hearthstone. NOPE! Aint dealing with it. Going to arena. Call me when they nerf it in the next 2 months.
i'd love it if brode had told the truth that this thing is actually totally in a random order when it redoes the battlecries whereas he said it was in the same order as you played the battlecries
It's most likely because he didn't know in the first place. It seems the hearthstone team have really bad communication between sectors especially for this expansion. As for testing it just goes to show they do not do enough to balance cards as even before the card came out people had the OTK in mind straight away whereas blizzard had months to test and find this and somehow didn't.
Holy hell this is broken. And slow, but mainly broken. Played it, games last eons, after enough healing battlecries and Grumble you can just keep playing Jabberwocky after Jabberwocky nearly unpunished.
I got to a game with Mind Control Tech, Saronite Chain Gang, Antique Healbot, Hagatha the Witch, Elise, the Trailblazer, Baleful Banker, Coldlight Oracle and Dirty Rat as well as Grumble. My opponent was literally watching me play the game for both of us at that point.
This is like a Yogg that you can control. If that does not sound ridiculous then I don't know what does. On the bright side, pre-nerf Yogg is back thanks to this card.
Hey Big B!!! You have not vetted this card properly!! I’m playing games & when the battle cry is “draw a card” & the hero has 0 cards, that should incur deductions of points from the Shaman hero!!! I mean that’s easy-peazy. How is that not working properly??? Instead of me winning games, I’m getting screwed because of NO point deductions!!! PLEASE FIX ASAP BIG B!! & I agree w/ a previous statement: the games last ridiculously long. Then, for me to have an opponent at 10-15 health w/ 0-2 cards left in their deck & they play this card & I should have easily won because of the “draw a card” mechanic only to set there & count 1 million card draws, maybe not 1 million, but enough for them to LOSE the game & their health never is deducted is 💩! Another thing, did no one think about card interactions????!! Did no one think about the TIMER ASPECT??!! Come on!!?? Did the Russian bots sneak this card in Big B??? Worst vetting of a card by Big B ever!!! FIX IT!!!! NERF IT!!!!
Wait what is he? He looks like he should have either the dragon, or maybe beast tag. I'm guessing dragon considering the name? There's no consistency to their tags anymore, cards will just get a tag if the the developers desire it regardless of the precedent or lore. I'm guessing they did it so it wouldn't conflict with his effect, but hes a card you'd build your deck around anyway so you'd avoid that already. It would be really fun to get him from some of the random generation, like Bone Drake, I think it'd be worth it to give him the dragon tag.
He's based on the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
Yes, and the Jabberwocky was a very dragon-esque, thus the dragon tag would make sense. I have no idea what their reasoning would be for him lore wise, as he doesn't look much like any of the other emerald dragons though.
and the jabbercoky was literally stated to be a FUCKING DRAGON IN THE BOOKS
