biirdman posted a message on Twig of the World TreePosted in: Twig of the World TreeIf you aren't facing heavy aggro the ideal scenario IMO is:
Turn 1: Pass
Turn 2: Wild Growth
Turn 3: Twig
Turn 4: Nourish + hero power/wrath
Turn 5: Medivh + UI
Obviously, you would have to draw the nuts. Your turn 5 play would be worth:
Medivh ~ 7/7 = 7 mana
UI 5/5 = 5 mana
UI armor = 1 mana
UI draw = 9 mana
Average 10 mana cost minion ~ 8.73/9.27 = 9 mana
Premium for 3 different types of card effects (summon, armor, draw) = 1 mana
Your turn 5 play would be worth 32 mana. Not to mention from turn 6 onward you start with 10 mana which gives you a ridiculous return on the mana you spent to ramp up.
Net mana gain:
Turn 1: 0
Turn 2: Wild Growth = -2
Turn 3: (Wild Growth = +1) + (Twig = -4) = -3
Turn 4: (Wild Growth = +1) + (Nourish = -3) = -2
Turn 5: (Wild Growth = +1) + (Nourish = +2) + (Twig = +10) = +13
Turn 6: Twig = +4
Turn 7: Twig = +3
Turn 8: Twig = +2
Turn 9: Twig = +1
Turn 10 and onwards you would have 10 mana anyways so you no longer have any benefit compared to someone who's not ramping. The internal rate of return on the mana you spend is ~ 55% per turn. For comparison, the rate of return on just Wild Growth is 44%, WG + Nourish is 48%, playing Twig on 4 and breaking it by swinging on 8 is a paltry 28%. Also the bulk of the return is concentrated on turn 5 so it's snowbally as hell. The return also doesn't account for how broken the plays themselves are. If we added the value that medivh and UI bring to our net mana equation the rate of return would be considerably higher.
TLDR; This card is going to result in some broken ramp. If being UI'd on turn 7 wasn't enough, now you can be UI'd on turn 5.

TrevoRaven8 posted a message on AlunethPosted in: AlunethShh! Don't wake up Lady Aegwynn! Ooh... this is a real pretty one. This here staff has led many to their demise... I never said it was the wielder, did I? A powerful staff, able to conjure seemingly endless amounts of balls of flame and bolts of ice... but greediness doesn't always lead to victory, remember that. You have to spend mana to make ashes, eh? This'll be a real nice addition to our museum, though, won't it, Mister Oozey? Hm? What about that new Kobold, you blurble? Aw, don't worry about him, he's only a tech card.

This card is definitely a good card that you an get so much value.
But the only thing l concerned is that this expansion there are so many remove cards may destroy the board next turn.
