Long story short Jaylaw... I LOVE to see priests with my mill deck ;P

They must think I'm a total newb when the early game I keep using the druid hero power to do one damage to their Northshire Cleric.  

At this point I would say anyone with a riddle is free to post, first come first serve ;)

Nerubian Egg is not nearly as cool as I thought it would be. I thought weaponizing it with Power Overwhelming would be extremely satisfying. Anecdotally, it's just not that exciting.

Deathlord is way better than I thought when used with Priest with Inner Fires, Power Words and Divine Spirit. Again, mind games. Make him an 8/8 on turn 3-4 and watch the other guy fight his impulse to try and kill it for the free random minion. One silence would solve all of his problems. But maybe free Ragnaros, man.

 

The egg has been extremely effective and I see it in many decks.  A ton of classes have great ways to mobilize it to pop out a 4/4.  Shamans, warlocks, druids, and paladins have been working it pretty effectively from my experience.

I expected the Deathlord to be good and it has been pretty effective in the right decks.  It's not as prevalent as I had anticipated which is disappointing because of my new favorite game of 'Reincarnate the Deathlord'!  That game is especially fun after a priest buffed it all to hell.

Webspinner being playable.  Apparently he works better for everyone else than myself because he's just a portable parrot summoner for me, the little bastard.

Reincarnate is probably my favorite card. It's just so versatile. However, it would be a stretch to claim that it is overpowered. Powerful? absolutely. However, that's a 10 mana combo that requires multiple cards. Moreover, by that point in the game, an opponent is either set on board position or is holding onto some removal. This makes him a finisher rather than something that turns the tides. Difficult to counter, yes, but not too much so.

It's not overpowered at all, it's just fun.  

On it's own, reincarnate is just a great card.  Popping you're deathrattles, it combos with ancestral spirit nicely, ghetto silence, and on a very specific note, popping an enemy Deathlord can be hilarious (Thanks for my turn 3 Earth Elemental).

Well the combos listed above work around silence.  KT dies, comes back with reincarnate or redemption, and then has his ability again.  You could silence off the ancestral spirit but I tend to put that on him before running him headlong into a big minion on turn 9.

Meh, that's pretty tame compared to what a Shaman can pull off.  It comes back with one health so you can easily kill him again with redemption.  A Shaman can do a 10 mana reincarnate combo to get 2x KT's or slap a Ancestral Spirit on him.  If you're a real bastard you can do both.

Long story short is I LOVE my shaman reincarnation deck.  It's so fun.

This is the best part of the KT shenanigans - they are just fun. I assume this is what people feel like when they do a 20+ damage turn using Leeroy combos, but I don't have that card so haven't had that thrill. And the best part is that Reincarnate is such a flexible card, I don't feel like it's ever really a dead card.

The other day I was playing against druid.  I figured my hand was kinda dead because I mulliganned into 2x reincarnate.  Figured those would rot in my hand too long to be helpful.  

Then he dropped a Deathlord.  Double reincarnated it, got myself a KT and an Earth Elemental.  I killed it the next turn, got a Sylvanas and put Ancestral Spirit on KT.  I don't think he noticed because he Poisoned seeded.  My board turned into the following:

KT, KT, Sylvanas, Earth Elemental, 3x Treants.

Prophet Velen

There it is.  Financial gain word play there.  Profit/Prophet.  Lucky numbers.  7 cast, 7 attack, 7 health.  777.  Plus he doubles your investment into spells 8D

The other day I had a KT down, dropped a Slyvanas and reincarnated her.  Stole the opponents beefiest minion and had 2x Sylvanas after that.  

Long story short is I LOVE my shaman reincarnation deck.  It's so fun.

Nothing so far.

Not quite slugger, but as a hint I love word play ;)

Nope and nope.

Scarlet Crusader is correct.

You're up Trollbert.

By the way, did you read the flavor text of Scarlet Crusader to find out the answer?

Nope, just was looking for something that would ruin your laundry ;)

Ok, um...

If you're looking for a financial gain, it's in me you should invest.

I guarantee a return, my lucky numbers will pass the test.

Yeah, that was more of a joke.  I was looking for something that would ruin your laundry, but I was giggling way to much at the thought of putting pretty much any of those cards in with your dirty clothes.  Example of my line of thought:

Hungry Crab will protect us from the horrors of the murlocs, and you really shouldn't put a crab in your laundry.
