HAL9000 posted a message on "Primordial Glyph"s are ruining this game and Here's why?Posted in: Mage100% agreed. I basically stopped playing the game, because those cards remove all skill from the game (deckbuilding, playing around cards), but just let the diceroll decide whether or not you win or lose the game. Arguably discover makes it even worse, since the opponent has a high chance to find the right card for the situation, but also the random cards like Swashburglar which also neglects the weakness of the class.
Game is awful, I still do the quests, because i invested so much in the game, but its getting worse (token shaman) new set looks like crap as well.

DAnonymous318 posted a message on New Druid Legendary Card Revealed: HadronoxPosted in: NewsLet's talk about N'Zoth the Corruptor.
Many moons ago, Blizzard decided to print a 10 Mana 5/7. Horrendous as its statline was, Control decks lined up to run it. Why? Because it had what every late-game card aspires to have: the power to turn games around. Come Turn 10, N'Zoth can transform an empty board into an army of the living dead.
Hadronox is a 9 Mana 3/7. It too, has a horrendous statline. It too, can turn games around. When he's dead, of course.
What's the problem? Play him Turn 9, trade him into something Turn 10, same deal. Welcome back, Bog Creepers, Jade Behemoths, and Dark Arakkoas. The dream. But consider the following. That dream means spending Turn 9 playing a measly 3/7. It means giving your opponent a chance to play a silence or push face damage. It means finding a Poisonous or 7+ Attack enemy minion to attack into on Turn 10. All the while, Hadronox is a 9 Mana 3/7 with nothing to show for. And that's a problem. We've already seen similar cards like Twilight Summoner and (to an extent) Cairne Bloodhoof, which see relatively little play because their value is weighted too heavily in their Deathrattle rather than their upfront body.
Does this mean Hadronox is unplayable? Hardly. Hadronox promises to be a valuable attrition device, and could make Taunt Druid a playable archetype (I never said Tier 1). But if he is to find a home, it must be in a Druid deck which can reliably trigger his Deathrattle and not die in the process. (Hadronox + Naturalize is one gimmicky possibility.) It must be able to maintain board control, allowing Hadronox's body to either wear itself down or present a persistent threat. Above all, the deck must deny the opponent the option of ignoring Hadronox, of rendering it and its flashy Deathrattle meaningless. Else, it suffers the same fate as last expansion's Druid legendary. No late-game card can thrive in a legitimate constructed deck, unless it can consistently turn the tides of battle.
On a final note, Hadronox's combo potential is staggering. It's a Beast which can be copied by Menagerie Warden. It's a Deathrattle minion that can be revived by a certain 10 Mana 5/7. However viable, duplicating Hadronox's Deathrattle even once would be devastating.

Hey. Cool card.
I think its battlecry is similar to his lore (rising undeads). But it is overpowered considering how much stats u will have at the end of your turn for 10 mana, btw its nice idea. Good luck.

His sound looks like Xel'naga in starcraft.
