If so my weasel priest will be unstoppable! >=)

Draw 5 cards in itself is extremely powerful. You could add just about any card text and cost and it will get played.

Remember it's 1/6 of your deck.

Very good thread. Couldnt agree more. I think its careless balance that causes these issues. Bomb warrior/Control warrior is a problem cause there are too few answers to them. In the same breath I will say token decks are a problem cause only warrior can answer them effectively.

If we want a meta that is dynamic, you need to produce more answers to the different archetypes that show up. Due to this the devs need to predict better what archetypes will be dominant.

Be happy Dr.Boom isnt rogue, imagine bomb rogue with bounce. It would be even more annoying.

I can imagine Tess Rogue drawing this wont upset them too much.

Maybe with tempo oriented meta season after season im too pessimistic (as a priest main) but I honestly dont see how this kind of deck, even how potentially broken it may seem can live in the same meta that also have Odd Pally, Zoolock and Token Druid. Then there are older archetypes that are getting more love, like quest mage getting closer to a comeback, I know its not there but yet..

I just feel this expansion will be just another: Oh look how many cool decks you could play if we cared two bits about balance.

Potentially every expansion pretty much since KOTFT have had cards that suggested options for new archetypes that could never live up the expectation.

Hearthstone is becoming blander and blander as a result and you see this with streamers jumping the ship to other more interactive and fun card games.

Oh ho! I just jammed together a deck with the core idea revolving around bombs and deathrattle to see how it would look

Never thought someome would bother to give it any thoughts.

So that in itself was a positive surprise. The deck in itself is in no means optimized for competitive constructed play..

but I appreciate the input. You are right that the bombs are summons and due to that wont advance the quest.

That being said, as you probably already noticed, the quest is only one of the win conditions.

Maybe if I could somehow shuffle bombs (baleful banker?)and draw them with tolvir warden?

I think all the draw mechanics you suggested would help streamline the deck once playtesting have produced positive results =)

Thank you again for your input. I love brewing, I do tend to fall for concepts that are good only on paper, it remains to be seen if this actually could work.

Burnbristle was a roadblock, this guy can help create new archetypes and help already excisting ones too.

Like others have mentioned, due to low cost its not terrible if you dont have anything else at 2 mana. But what you really want it for is for stabilizing and/or exploiting multiproc for bolvar fireblood / lights sorrow.

Just because its not a tier 1 archetype now doesnt mean its useless and the more cards those archetype in their toolset the greater the chances they will be competitive.

Then there is control, possible lifesteal centered builds with blackguard.

Blackguard which has already seen some play already.

Imagine having a tempo deck that always puts pressure on the opponent while healing you.

Its why frostlich jaina and warlock spellstone are such oppressive cards, imagine having an entire deck that draws in that same direction.

So yeah this little guy in itself has alot of potential. I mean, we have seen what? 30% of the revealed cards yet? So I wouldnt think of dusting it quite yet.

Too soon executus, you have summoned me too soon!

I dont know exactly how but if the past trends have taught us anything, it is that copy card effects can be quite potent on their own if the card or effect it copies is strong enough to capitalize from it. Quest mage was an excellent example of this making sorcerers apprentice to go from a card you would only play in tempo mage to added in every deck that could give the exodia effect. Sorcerers apprentice was never a bad card but the copy effect of molten reflection created a whole new archetype of hearthstone decks: Exodia.

Hearthstone has a ton of cards that gives you the feel of: If I dont remove this, I will lose the game shortly after. Dollmaster is such a card were a combo mage to rise to popularity. But if you on the offchance should be lucky enough for him to live the turn hes played to get to maximise value off of his aura it would likely involve a multitude of copying effects: Sorc apprentice, pyros, or maybe some of the new cards. Maybe im overestimating how strong of an impact it could have if you were able to chain copy a strong effect but it sure opens up alot of potential combos.

To rephrase my first post it wasnt the sequense of the cards that opens up potential but moreso listing up the different cards that copy and how they together could do cool stuff.

This is a 9/9 after you play lady in white with dragon synergy for 7 mana that poops out 3/3 dwagon babies if your opponent dares to let it live or is out of removal options. Thats a pretty big if but that being said. On play it will ALWAYS be a headache for your opponent.

Why? Cause you have bigger targets you want to remove:

Prophet Velen

Ysera

Death Knight

all the other monsters you made with lady in white.

Yeah maybe im wrong but from what I gather, this card is bonkers.

Archmage Arugal into Simulacrum add in Zola the Gorgon Play: Dollmaster Dorian = Endless..

Potential..

I expect Dane and Hysteria, maybe Chump to make great use of these new cards. As for the rest of us lowly mortals. I expect many will try to be fancy and get crushed by the new facehunter that blizzard is pushing for.
