Am I the only one who thinks Sylvanas Windrunner isn't that great?

I'm probably the only GOOD player in this thread that agrees with OP. I do think WR is a great value but I also think she's overrated. I say that because when the meta is very aggro, you end up holding WR in your hand and it often never does see play. Also if you're playing aggro or mid-range there's no reason to play WR because again she's too slow.

Now, when you are playing control and the meta isn't too much aggro then sure, WR is amazing and an auto-include. That's how I see the card.

Thanks for the laugh. Tard

If you think WR can't be a less than great card in an aggro meta, then you are the tard kid.

I think he was referring to the "I'm the only GOOD player that agrees with you" comment.

Which makes you sound like a "tard", regardless of your qualifications or the merits of the card in question.

Boy could that be taken out of context

I have to admit, the first comment was pretty funny because I read it in a way that wasn't intended...

Quote from Mesmerizeer >>

It is amusing to watch some people get really upset when someone else says their beloved cards are not "as great as it seems".

But to the point, I see Sylvanas Windrunner as a great card, but not a card for each and every deck out there. If I am playing aggro deck, topping off the curve with a Sylvanas would be stupid. Piloted Sky Golem (a.k.a. PSG?!) better suits the purpose. Heck, even Mr. Leeroy is better than the hot girl.

But for any midrange-control deck, Sylvanas Windrunner is great. Let's say you are playing aggro, and get board-wiped, you still feel pretty good when you are holding Dr. Boom, but then your opponent drops a Sylvanas, do you still play boom? Do you blow your Fireball that's originally aiming at your opponent's face? Do you just drop everything you can hoping your opponent is stupid and can't make good use out of Sylvanas? A single card that can put someone in this awkward situation, yes please, sign me up.

I found this thread because I was finding myself never getting a minion with her deathrattle myself, and was searching to see if she isn't that great anymore. I personally hadn't considered some of the unseen effects people listed about causing them to play their next turn(s) differently. The more polite responses helped shed some light and I'll be keeping her in decks now.

But I do agree with your first sentence for sure - some of these replies are downright condescending. The OP just asked an honest, polite question.

The first few replies were great, though, and exactly what I needed to read to convince me that she's better than I was thinking.

Comparing her to Boulderfist Ogre , you just lose out on 3 stat points and you get the potential to remove a random enemy minion AND take control of one , that is very strong. Even if you just got a Knife Juggler ,your opponent lost a knife juggler and you gained one,

Sylvanas has saved my ass too damn many times to count. Recent example: I played my control warrior deck against this weird grinder mage deck that ran Naga Sea Witches and Rafaam. So, the mage plays Sea Witch into Rafaam and gets the "give a minion 10/10" spell. I had a decent amount of health and a lot of armor, so I shield slam Rafaam and played something completely irrelevant.( I think I played a fiery war axe or something). The mage buffs the Sea Witch so now I'm staring at a 15/15 naga sea witch. She fireballs me in the face and I'm at like 17 health at this point. She's low too, around 12 or 13. So the buffed Sea Witch is the only thing on the board. I play Sylvanas, coin, Brawl and Sylvanas dies. Now she's staring at the scary end of the 15/15 Naga and she has no answers for it. She concededs.

Sylvanas is absolutely one of the best legendaries in the game.

If there was ever a thread to necro, it is one about Slyvanas :)
