I dream of a day when they print a neutral spell that reads "transform a random minion in your opponent's hand into a random 0 mana minion." :^)
2 mana to turn your opponent's Flame Elemental into Lord Jaraxxus and your own Voidlord into Howlfiend.
I'd play that.
Lord Jaraxxus, you say?
You say that, but on average, most demons are "alright," so this is purely to fuck with combos. Against aggro decks or midrange ones, this card does next to nothing. To give an approximation from a similar game, this reminds me of Pithing Needle from MtG with similar effect. Fucks with combos. Next to useless against aggro. Balanced design and is a "fair" way to print a combo hate card.
Flavor text could be: Aviana, Kun and Malygos walk into a bar.
And thenthe bartender, Shudderwock, says "My jaws that bite..." before becoming a flame imp.
So warlock is becoming the new priest? Meddling with your opponent's win condition will be sweet.
Priest has always been more about stealing win conditions than actually messing with them. Silence kind of does, but is more narrow. This is more of a general "all minion-based combo decks suck" type hate card, which I love. It is HS's more narrow version of MtG's pithing needle I think.
This one's spicy... I love the disruption, it seems like Dirty Rat except much worse. That isn't a necessarily bad thing though, but generally speaking, it's quite a bit harder to use effectively compared to Dirty Rat. Because even if Dirty Rat whiffs and doesn't pull out a minion, at least you developed a 2 mana 2/6 Taunt, which is pretty good in its own right. In comparison, if Demonic Project whiffs, it can be 2 mana do nothing, or worse, turn a minion in your hand into a random demon, and a random demon isn't as good as a minion you put in your deck.
I foresee a situation similar to Loatheb and Rebuke. In other words, removing the body will make this card not see play. Add in the fact you're negatively affecting your card quality alongside your opponent's... I seriously doubt this card will see play outside of maybe Cubelock, where the negative Battlecries of demons can be ignored and you have several good targets on your side such as Kobold Librarian or Possessed Lackey after your Demons are played. Even there, this card seems pretty bad and I'm pretty sure they have more pressing cards to pick from.
It is not really even that much worse given it gives the opponent no tempo, unlike how Dirty Rat does. This is worse against exactly aggro though, which is why I keep comparing it to the card Pithing Needle in Magic: the gathering, which has a similar weakness: it is meant to shutdown control and combo decks, but against aggro, you just change the fuel they are using to attack you without actually doing much. A nice, "balanced" combo hate card that has weakness is nice to see.
Light's Champion meta... just kidding. Sacrificial Pact
YOU FACE JARAXXUS! ARRGRGGGHHHHHHHHHH.
its a great disruptive card, i like it.
also it may not hit shudderwock or other key pieces or even win condition cards, but some demons have bad battlecries 3 damage to face destroy mana crystal etc they probably wont play these which would mean less combo, big minion and win condition pieces to make the effect better and make turns more thinking turns than auto win button just a thought.
This is like a softer dirty rat. TBH...this is very powerful. You could screw up any combo involving minions, killing your opponent in one move.
The existence of this card alone may force some sub optimals plays like playing Amara in the same turn the quest is completed.
I hate everything about this stupid fucking card. This is a great example of the kind of stuff that shouldn't exist.
Cry more. I love everything about this genius card. Cards like this should have been made more since Dirty Rat .
Another crying Shudderwock player lmao XD
You know that feeling when you play a game with a 5 year old, and you have to let them win or else they get a tantrum and think the game is stupid?
You sound like that 5 year old.
Ok allow me to explain for you 20 iq dipfucks since you don't seem to get it. Warlock now has a card that can delete any minion win condition purely through RNG. I hate cards that do this shit. If I play through a game trying to stay alive against a warlock with a maly shaman it's pretty fucking irritating when my opponent literally dice rolls an instant, unforeseeable win. Dirty Rat I can agree with because at least with that card you still need to actually deal with whatever it pulls out and more importantly it punishes you for using it on turn 2. This card and Dirty Rat are nothing alike. Dirty Rat is an actually interesting tech choice, this is just stupid. There's no way to play around this at ANY state in the game and I don't think cards like that are fun to play against.
