Pretty much, yea :)
could be fun with Dead Man's Hand ,but I'm pretty glad this is a bad warrior legendary! It's already expensive enough crafting warrior decks!
I'm only agreeing with the first half of your comment. Theoretically, this is insane with Dead Man's Hand. When you get to 0 cards in your deck, two DMHs, and an Akali, the Rhino in your hand, you get a copy of your hand back in your deck along with an initial 5/5 with Rush followed by 10/10s with Rush each remaining turn. Warrior is also pretty proficient at drawing 30 cards in less than 10 turns so there's that.
I love the idea. It would be difficult to triger overkill each turn though. ur opponent could just not play minions to counter it..... waiiitt a moment... you can be patient as a warrior having two dead man's hand cards in hand. It has to be verified yet i guess.
This gives the opponent this dilemma though, play no minions and die, or give your opponent a lot of minions and die harder. Of course there are always non-minion removals but the opponent probably won't have more than 2 left. And like you said, infinite DMHs and Rhinos.
Though I'm sure this deck will never ever take off, it's still a sweet interaction and idea to work with.
The combo is to have:
Hand: Akali, the Rhino, DMH, DMH
Deck: Empty
So you can accomplish:
1. DMH
2. 5/5 Akali
3. Deck is now: Akali, DMH
4. Akali attacks into <4 health minion, draws copied Akali, buffs to 10/10
5. Your next turn, draw the other DMH and repeat, but replace 5/5 Akali with 10/10.
So no, you don't need your opponent to have a <4 health minion each time and you will not take fatigue damage as long as your opponent does not disrupt your combo (Shadow Word: Death, Assassinate, and so on), which is very easy to do. Like I mentioned, this combo is in no where near good, but is not only able to sneak some wins through niche matchups, but seems like a very fun concept to work with (IMO at least).
Rabid Worgen is pretty common for Warrior decks. And Redband Wasp can now see more play as it’s useless in the late game but +5/+5 can make it viable.
Zilliax, Darius, Oondasta there’s a lot of great rush targets for this. Shame it isn’t Odd
Not sure if the stats are good for 8? Might be tricky to find targets at times. Despite that I like her a lot and look forward to trying her.
5/5 is bad for 8-drop but essentially it’s 10/10, splitted on two bodies.
Bonemare is a card to compare with, you draw a rush card and give it +5 +5 maybe even 2 times if you are lucky.
Windfury + this on small minions is posible like warlocks tend to have 1/3 taunts lategame so i would wait and see i think in the right deck it can be a good card, but all depends on the meta :)
