The Cinematic
Covid is effecting product promotion for a lot of companies right now.
Why would Blizzard add a 1 mana 1/4 for a class that should not be good in the early game.
Who said Priest should not be good in the early game?
Priest was turned into a zoo class with the class identity rework. It is....eh.
Sometimes cards you think aren't good for a class turn out to be great. This might be a quick double health, double health change attack to match health kind of combo decks.
Who says priest is not allowed to be good early game?
What about Cleric? Or who could forget about lightspawn double divine spirit inner fire?
I wouldnt say priest is lacking early game that much.
I dont see the prolem with a 1/4 minion honestly its the same amount of stats as a 2/3 crocodile (which we all know is not exactly the best card)
This card is just trash for a priest, why do you talk about it?
I agree. Its the only priest card shown tho. Let's hope they don't get shafted. This card is only good vs lackies tbh. Soo many better bases for priests buff game. At least it matches his hero power.
Trouble is you have mage with sheep, and the new missiles to downgrade minions, shaman with the same and hex. Priest with mind control, and with cards printed that have a need for silence tech in a deck I’m pretty certain people with run with it.
I would rather lose a slot for silence than deal with multiple copies of that minion. Pretty sure there will be other strong cards for other classes that will see the rise in silence based tech cards.
The thing what I don't like is the fact that Devolving Missiles are just
worse Devolve for Shamanand Mage get another transform effect that they can discover from magic trick... Can finally all classes get some type of transform? Or at least please Blizzard, revert Tinker Overspark to target his effect... plsEDIT: If it can transform 1 minion 3 levels down as it is only one on board then it is quite interesting even for Shaman.
Now Bad Luck Albatross will never see play and nothing can stop highlander ....
Unless of course if there are some new fun deck-tempering cards in the coming 135 cards :P~~~
Dimensional Rift says hi
They became lazy to create one set of cards for each class :DD
He will he useless. Any silence or hard removal beats that. Gonna guess 90% of the time he won’t see his true potential.
Dude people said the same with legendary weapons and primes. Ain't nobody using a space to run owls let's be real here
Its actually very different. Primes all start out as decently stated low-cost minions and help fill out a curve especially for control decks. Silencing or hexing/polymorphing a 2, 3-drop doesn't feel good. Rattlegore starts out as a 9 mana 9/9, it's definitely super high value, but it feels way to slow to play unless control warrior seriously makes a comeback. You don't need an owl to deal with it. Most decks could ignore it for 1-2 turns as a 9 mana 9/9 deathrattle summon an 8/8 is strictly bad. Compare with queen alex or ysera unleashed which generate a similar amount of stats immediately or in 1 turn. Rattlegore kinda takes 4 turns to really start feeling good I imagine and really only has some synergy with brawl.
I think you're missing the fact that Rattlegore keeps the deathrattle. You need a silence or 8 hard removal spells.
yeah, at most, he will be seeing play in some adventure. like for example current illidan. add taunt via lackey and boom. 10 mana 9/11 taunt that turns into 8/8 once it dies to deal with rest of illidans bs. or he will be played on some boss who has "friendly minions have taunt" passive hero power. he plays rattlegore or gets it via his cards and you have to battle 9 rattlegores just to get him away. (would be actually neat)
Dual class cards looks very interesting not like the gadgetzan class cards.
Cobalt Guardian and Glass Knight were trash cards. Guess giving another one of this useless garbage to a dead class makes sense
