Eater of secrets....good against paladins...bad against everything else.
some are good, some are bad, just like people :p
who would use the new hogger that needs to be hit to summon, when for one less mana you summon the gnolls free including at the end of the turn it's played. doesn't make sense having the new one, he's not as good imho.
just looked at the eater of secrets, not looking forward t o taking 2 or 3 hours to get 5 or 6 wins for a quest let alone as much gold as I'm used to getting (often cap) since I can't use hunter or zoo any mor ein standard. guess I'll have to get a bot finally. I planned to use flares for mages and paladins on hunter while farming gold, so that eater would only be ahindrance to me. what's a good bot with alow ban rate
Standard rule set was already going to kill it.
Looks so awesome, patiently waiting on the pre-order today!
Love these new cards. Some seem terrible for tournament play, but building fun, niche decks is always fun and something like the new hogger would be a blast in my eyes. We'll see how everything pans out, but so far, so good, I say.
Honestly I love how since The League of Explorers they are focusing on FUN cards rather than "tournament" cards.
i don't see myself prepurchasing just saving some gold
People crying over secret paladin clearly arent thinking about frost mage or the potential the is coming from hunters and their control decks.
I rather face a secretdin than a skilled frost mage any day
Skillfull =/= freeze mage
Quite the opposite i love long games but dislike freeze mage, was having a go at secret paladin
In fact i must be one of the only people on this thread that wants a game where
value>tempo
Beastial Wrath + Giant Sandworm Anybody???
same problem as kezan - only 3 classes play secrets and a 2/4 for 4 is not that good.
imoh i think kezan is better against 1 enemy secret: kezan + secret > 3/5 without a secret..
Let's be honest, the card is designed exclusively to hard-counter Secret Paladin in Wild (and maybe Freeze Mage)- it flattens a Secret Paladin by not only negating ALL the secrets but coming into play as a 7/8 for 4 (assuming a full tree of 5 secrets off the Mysterious Challenger). In Standard it's of questionable use as Secret Paladin is already on the way out, thanks to losing Avenge, but they needed SOMETHING to replace Kezan.
i guess someone doesnt understand why this card is there.... (secret paladin)
no i got that, hard counter against secret pally - but i´m not talking about wild.
in standard secret paladin is more or less dead even without this card...
but i have to admit: forgot that kezan is not in standard xD i´m sorry - so its a good replacement for kezan, but kezan was not play often, right? :)
It's a card for tournament, not even Wild or Standard
