what if you mill this card. will the candle count ?

I am wondering the same thing, and my guess is that it won't count, which would be an important counter to this card. Because the card is drawn and immediately burned it probably isn't castable because it doesn't reach the hand.

You can play something like dirty rat to combo with some kind of milling to free a hand slot so that the cards do get drawn.

My guess is miracle rogue can do a lot of funky things in this card. Fills the 4 mana slot nicely and if it gets activated its like a super juiced Edwin, which the deck normally wants to achieve anyway. You can play with King Togwaggle (lol) and use Auctioneer to draw through your swapped deck to pull out these cards yourself.

Another guess is druid does awesome things with this. Combo it with the legendary Ixlid, Fungal Lord, play Coldlight Oracle and Naturalize to trigger opponent draw and activate two 20/20s.

Play it in Shaman and have the battlecry trigger twice with Murmuring Elemental to have a higher chance of drawing the cards. If you Evolve into this though, it still has the keyword "Starts dormant" so it can actually do nothing. If you recruit it somehow, same thing, it actually hurts because you basically lose a slot on the board with no way to activate it unless you somehow get a second copy in your hand (...Grumble, Worldshaker..? wink wink). Can't be silenced or taunted or anything like that for the same reason.

Now that I say that, elemental shaman looks like a pretty fun deck to try this meta :)

Awesome card.

At first I was like "OMG this counters Razakus!" The problem I now am running into though is that Razakus can draw like crazy, so it will just save Shadow Word: Death and cycle through its deck to find all the candles and then kill this... I think that is fine because it certainly slows it down, but idk I'm torn now!

Can you get the 20/20 version of The Darkness off of Evolve? Or is he dormant?

Big Game Hunter Oh noes meta breeekingcard

I love all these people who don't understand WHY this is meta breaking, implying the rest of us are dumb because we actually do.

No, that would obviously be broken. You can't target it with -ANYTHING-

There are missing too many mana cost minions up- and downwards from him. Evolve only gets 1up. If there is nothing, the minion stays the same. Therefore, you cannot evolve into him. There is no 19 cost miinon

He isn't a 20 cost minion, he's a 4 cost minion. He would however, be dormant if Evolved into.

What does it mean that the candle has a mana cost of 4?

I assume it's for times you pull it from your opponents deck (Thoughtsteal etc.) and you then have to expend the 4 mana to cast it and draw a card.

Combos with Valeera the Hollow for two The Darkness and six candles in the deck. Combos with Archbishop Benedictus so there are 3 candles in both decks. Combos with the new Murmuring Elemental to place six candles in their deck. Combos with [etc]...

Edit: Six candles means this wakes up faster.

No matter what you play, there is a good chance you can make use of this.

Ok so.

Please tell me you cannot silence this.

Just please.

Edit:Scratch that, reading comprehension is a valuable skill to have, if you use it.

Nah, We can't purify this guy ( or girl, or whathever) :( The candles must be like tokensinmune to silence...

Is this considered a minion before it is awakened?

It's better against Highlander decks that require multiple cards like Kazakus Priest (3). Still good against Reno but not as good if he is the only 1-of card. He can wait out the candles.

You can't put this in aggro decks because you can't do nothing on turn 4 and expect to win. If you are playing control you can skip that turn against priest more so than any other class.
