so fresh so clean ! Nzoth is back !

Meta defining!

This is the 4th most powerful legendary minion in the entire game, along N'Zoth, the Corruptor, Brann Bronzebeard and Fandral Staghelm. This card, like the previously mentioned one, will never be bad but will only increase in power as more and more sets come out and more and more deathrattle minions come out.

Spiritsinger Umbra + Auchenai Soulpriest + 2 Zombie Chow + Circle of Healing = 20 damage combo. And really good with any strong desthrattle. Seems like its good flexible card.

I love the card but man, this art lol, looks like a poorly designed bad guy from TMNT

This card is powerful, but HEY, what about the art? that's really terrible.

57% meta defining, 33% very good, really ?

It's Baron Rivendare all over again.. Don't overhype it guys.

 It's much more like bran than Baron Rivandare. Baron was weak cause you couldn't get value until you kill your minions. This card will be really good for priest. 

You mean how Spiritsinger Umbra is also weak, because you need to combo it with a strong Deathrattle (which means holding it back) to get value out of it? Brann Bronzebeard is strong because of all the good battlecrys that also have immediate impact/value, but we have very few Deathrattle cards that are worth it to hold back and combo with and even fewer have any relevant impact other than summoning Tokens.

This + Moat Lurker + any deathrattle minion sounds hilarious. Oh, you didn't kill my Twilight Summoner? Here, let me play Spiritsinger Umbra and then Moat Lurker on my summoner. The deathrattle of the summoner triggers to make a 5/5, then the deathrattle of the moat lurker immediately makes another summoner, which immediately triggers its deathrattle to make another 5/5. So now I have An Umbra, a moat lurker holding a summoner in its belly, another summoner, and two 5/5s, all from just three cards. So janky, I love it.

Turn 10 Priest deck

Have 2 deathrattles down

Play Spiritsinger Umbra for 4 mana

Play Herald Volajz for 6 mana

Herald copies spirit and 2 deathrattles

You have 2 death rattle minions being summoned that are triggering twice

so if you have Shifting Shade and a Tortollan Shellraiser you basically get 2 cards from your opponent and give out +2/+2 worth of stats to one of your minions

Alternatively

turn 8

This, + Crystalline Oracle + Mirage caller is good value play since it gives you two of your opponents cards and sets you up to get 2 more (obviously makes n'zoth worse but hey you get 4 cards from their deck.

What happens with Dread steed? (I know it is wild) Does it fill your board?

->

Wow, it even triggers boom bots.  And multiplies pyros.  This thing is sick.

You will summon two instead of one

This doesn't seem as good as Brann Bronzebeard, but Feign Death and Reincarnate do nothing without a card to combo it with, this is always a 3/4 with pseudo taunt for 4, so I don't see why this would be worse than those. And Reincarnate actually did see play.

Turn 4: Xaril 

Turn 5: Umbra -> Stealth

Turn 6: Epic Sax Guy

Dreadsteed deck in wild!

 What's gonna come down on turn 6 from a rogue deck that warrants epic sax guy? Double Jade Swarmer? Seems pretty meh for a 1 in 50 games occurrence. Gadgetzan, coin, stealth would be way more exciting i m o.

a lot of you are going to be disappointed.  Let me try to save some people 1400 dust.

Compare to Brann Bronzebeard: at 1 more mana this is much more difficult to combo consistently, and it's also a higher base investment for potentially no gain.  You're also overpaying more for this card than for Brann in stats (it's also much easier to kill a 4 health minion on turn 4 then it is on turn 3, so whereas Brann could sometimes be played on curve by himself, this almost has to be combo'd the turn you play it).  And it's not like Brann was that overpowered, either.

Even if Sylvanas were still in the game this card would not see play.  Remember how everyone thought Sylvanas + Feign Death and Sylvanas + Reincarnate would be insane?   How'd that work out?  And those were 8 mana combos vs this being a 10 mana combo.

if it triggered the deathrattle of minions already in play as well as future minions, then yes it would be nuts, but it doesn't, so dust it.

It's not strong as Brann Bronzebeard was, so it will not be an auto-inclued in almost every deck. For sure it'll find its spot on Jade Rogue, N'zoth Priest and similar. In its own way will be a fixed spot in such deck because it can give you a really nice extra value with its synergy.

Side note: the artwork is pretty dull imho, but I don't like neither the general feel of Un'goro. Too generic, nothing really charismatic at the moment. I'm a bit sad about that, considering also Karazhan and MSoG.

Does this trigger "death effect" itself? e.g. You play this and Stalagg and they hex/polymorph Stalagg, does Feugen summon Thaddius later? It would be very useful against control Shamy / Mage / Kaz Sheep... but I doubt that. It seems "died" and "triggered deathrattle" work separately.
