Wickerflame Burnbristle
Taunt
Divine Shield
Lifesteal
Texte d’ambiance
Wickerflame spent years as a recruit for the Goons, never making the big-time because he always fired his chest-cannon too slowly. "Hey," he thought, "maybe if I keep my beard lit on fire, I can do this faster." BOOM, promoted.
Card Sounds
Pulled a golden one of these recently. Considering that I'd pulled (and dusted) a normal one before, I think I'll keep this one.
Maybe Blizzard just really wants me to play more Paladin.
with the new Glowstone Technician this guy has been pretty fun to use in wild!
Saddest part about Msog leaving standard. This is probably one of my favorite cards of all time between the design and the intro and just the playability. I think its one of the more underated cards
Confirmed during the final card reveal stream with Kibler and Brode, Wikerflame now has the lifesteal text.
So after this expansion it would be just " Taunt, Divine Shield, Lifesteal ". Kinda cute there is a legendary only with keywords. Something like Al'Akir the Windlord
Now there is the new common card called Acolyte of Agony that has 3 attacks. and similar lifesteal.
If two of them hit and kill eachother, Wickerflame Burnbristle will heal you for 4 healths, whereas Acolyte of Agony will heal you for 6 healths.
Assuming this card will be labeled Lifesteal once they load in the new set.
RIP
This card was designed as a handbuff mechanic, how strong is the effect that even as a 2/2 is mandatory on every Pala deck thats not Aggro.
"how strong is the effect that even as a 2/2 is mandatory" what?
Nice easter egg! That dude played Sherlock truly well!
Wickerspark Bumbo
At least him and Hydrologist synergize well.
Got this guy from a pack, tried him out. Currently run him in an experimental dragon / buff midrange paladin and works exceptionally well! Against aggro as an early 2/2 divine shield taunt he saves me about 8 - 12 hp and kills a minion or two, and in slower matchups when I buff the hand and my opponent has no removal he heals me back up and causes trouble. great card!
edit: HUWAAAAH, I'M ON FIRE!
are you retarded?
literally Annoy-o-Tron+Mistress of Pain
should just be an epic, this is the new mistress of pain nothing special or new.
Doesnt even have a pirate archtype.
For one, she was Warlock only, so that's a dumb statement to start. Also she didn't have divine shield, something Paladin can take good advantage of. Seems you don't really know this game at all. This minion isn't amazing solo, it's how you run it in combinations.
One of my favorite card flavors. His music when played! Attack sound! Card art and flavor text! Really outstanding.
