Pally is fine already. Though I wouldn't say no to finally receiving a decent 2-drop that isn't a f*cking murloc.

Seems like eater of secret : game winning vs one archetype, slightly useful vs some others, and dreadfully useless against most classes

 There are 2 major diffences between Skulking Geist and Eater of Secrets :

1) Skulking Geist will almost ALWAYS burn cards, whatever you're facing. Eater of Secrets on the other hand is useful against 2-3 archetypes only, and you must draw it when they have a secret. Skulking Geist doesn't really care of the moment it is played.

2) Even in the worse case scenario (which happens far more often with Eater of Secrets than with Skulking Geist), playing a 4/6 on turn 6 is far better than a 2/4 on turn 4. By turn 6, you'll have drawn other things in your deck. On turn 4 you want to play on curve.

Those 2 arguments show how stronger Skulking Geist is in comparison to every other tech cards, which make it NOT a tech card, but an AUTO-INCLUDE. And no, a tech card being an auto-include in a lot of decks (and literally destroying several archetypes) is not a healthy design at all.

It removes the Idol in hand as well. Best out is to play both idols for golems. Besides, if this comes down before Auctioneer, the that card becomes stratospherically weaker. This plus a decent body and the ability to have an effect vs Rogue, Control Warrior and Priest make is an exceptionally well-deserved tech card. Not quite Loatheb levels of overpowered (miss you, big guy) but more like good ol' MC Tech back in the pre-standard meta.

I never thought they'd print something so good. All I can say is: (hopefully) great job Blizz. Reminds me almost of Loatheb in that it is still valuable due to its body and also works against CW, Purify Priest, Lyra Priest, Earthen Scales in general, and while there are not many more current examples: people want to run 1-mana spells when they can so this card feels like it is always a say 1-of if you just really HATE Jade like I do :)

More like thank god the 3/3 was fake. Quest Hunter almost became auto-dust on sight.

 But it already is? And you seem to forget that not every player would've played it if it was real. It was basically a vanilla 3/3 (which is bad) in most matchups. The existance of a card that counters it doesn't make a deck unplayable. Eater of Secrets is proof of that.

Based on Donais' reddit, the final reveal stream will actually be REAL close to the actual set release, both of which are sometime next week.

 Just curious, what made you assume this?

sorry to disappoint you, but they ment the 10 mana druid spell as it enables a new druid archetype, they think ...

Or, and I know this is going sound crazy. Nerf Jade Idol so it can't go infinite. Crazy right?

The cards that are being revealed are very control oriented, which is great, but they will be useless unless the jade idol+gadgetzan auctioneer advantage against control is dealt with.

It's not impossible to win using control against jade druid, but let's all agree that you will need huge amounts of RNG.

Voting playable solely because N'Zoth Control Pally is already borderline competitive so this might theoretically make the cut there. Still waiting on that Jade counter though or else I have some doubt about ANY control deck seeing play next exp.

Remove all the "5" from the card and change them with "4", now is FIXED.

MTG Card - Cruel Ultimatum

Why do you guys keep trying to make him understand? In 2 weeks he will find out alone that this card is bad.

In the first week after the expansion launch this card will be used by tons of peoples, and after the first week people will either realize that this card is pure trash or they will just copy-paste pro decks that obviously will not use it.

 I know that this card is bad. On ladder. And I won't ever use this card because I don't play the game to (try to) tilt my opponents, even if this was a good disruption card.

If hearthstone decks had 10 cards instead of 30, or if ranks didn't exist, then this would be the most played card in the game.

Very fun design. Complete waste of an Epic slot, though.
