Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)Those other iterations of Yogg are... interesting. Glad to see they're trying to come up with genuinely new mechanics instead of boring crap like Y'shaarj.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)Whenever I see Yogg I laugh and hit the "Wow!" emote as Yogg ends up killing himself and attacking the caster. 10/10

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)That article is really fun read. I would love to see more cards with some ´´time mechanic´´but I get that there are technical issues.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)I'm kinda a sucker for looking at older designs and cut concepts seeing what could have been. I really hope Blizzard does this more with some other cards.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)Some Yogg-Saron where really OP but I really like the one where you have only 15 seconds to play (that's my style).

Posted May 1, 2016 (Old Gods)I think that one just seems really bad unless you're playing Druid when you can get it out on turn 1 or 3. Your opponent would instantly know when you have it since your turn would always rope and they would keep removal ready.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)So far i've seen Yogg 3 times, and every single time it resulted in stuff like him using Astral Commucation or clearing his own board and buffing mine. Needless to say, I laughed my ass off.
But seriously tho, this card just let this card stay in normal games. It should be banned in ranked... It's pretty much the equivalent of 'flip a coin: Heads you win the game, tails you lose'.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)could yogg ever be in a serious deck though? competitively. these decks all look great on paper but yogg is so nuts it just doesn't seem worth playing with the random rng.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)No. If you put Yogg in your deck, for ANY reason, it's tantamount to declaring "I don't care whether I win or lose, as long as can appear in a Trolden video".

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)It's not meant to be a deck's only win condition. If you've played enough spells throughout the game and you're about to lose, it gives you a potential out you otherwise wouldn't have had.

Posted Apr 30, 2016 (Old Gods)Exactly. In my opinion: number 6 is the best and most fun, even though its made of purest RNG-ium available, 5 wouldn't change much I think, 4 could probably be extremely powerful/op in rogue or mage, 1-3 are terrible designs. Of the artworks given the best one has been chosen (nr 3, really? what the hell is that supposed to be?), though they could have left just 'Yogg-Saron' as its name,
