Actually fandral will activate the choose one affects in order to benefit you,confirmed by somebody at blizzard on reddit.
I also saw that post and no it won't I heard it's unofficial and bullshit.Pretty sure our lord and savior Ben Brode said himself on the reveal stream that Stagehelm will read from left to right.
2- guaranteed high damage. There are a lot of times where you don't have anything to enrage grommosh so you play him with 4 attack. King krush doesn't have that problem.
3-Nobody puts king krush in their deck, most of the time he's played through webspinner or ram wrangler, in which case it is much better than grommosh.
To be honest with you, If I would get King Krush from a pack I would totally put him in my midrange hunter for the funsies.
I think people are somewhat overrating this card a lot.
a) its in druid, a class that recieved a lot of nerfs to their Choose 1 Cards, as well as the major win condition. Which deck do you think performs better, one built around the combo or one built around this?
b) youre paying for the cost of gaining the choose both effect, a vanilla 3-5 is basically unplayable. (compare it to auchenai / Circle, flash heal - which is arguably better)
5-5 (+2/+1 from vanilla 3 drop) for 3 comes with the downside of a vanilla 3-5 (-2/-0 from a vanilla 4 drop) for 4 if you look at it that way. Master of Evolution gives you a 4-5 for 4 and a super upgrade on any minion, plus it combos with any card.
On big cards (Wispers, Ancient of lore / war) , the effect cant be combod without a third card, and 3 card combos are usually inefficient.
also a 5-10 ancient usually dies to removal or trades for a lot, while a 10-10 ancient will die to the same removal and probably trade for the same minions.
Nourish is probably the best outcome (or wispers), but youre still giving up your turn 5 (which tends to be pretty powerful)
c) Since this is a 1 of in any deck - it makes stacking your deck with choose 1 effects - just for this effect - pretty bad. If more cards had this effect it would definitely be better.
All in all, i dont think this card is as impactful as people hope it will be.
First of all it isn't a vanilla 3/5,it is a must kill.Violet Teacher was played in Oil while at best you could get 1 or 2 tokens.And how the fuck is a 3/5 a -2/0 drop from a vanilla 4 drop???Last time I checked Yeti is a 4/5 and not a 5/5.
P.S The effects trigger from left to right and most choose one effects are in the "wrong" order.Notably power of the wild,Cenarius,KotG.But 1 card is amazing with it which is Wisps of the Old gods which first will summon the wisps and then buff everything on the board.So unless they change the wording on some cards this maybe won't see play.
If you have 4 bodies on the board and this is played it's fucking game. Even 2 bodies can hurt. Also imagine a Tundra Rhino being in play. Fucking stupid burst damage. With all these added beasts, that Rhino might actually see some play.
The moment Rhino sees play it gets nerfed into 5 2/5 your charge beasts have +1 attack
