Don't turn into a rock by playing that much Jades bro
Do u mean don't turn into THE ROCK.
Do you get the full deck or the amount of cards remaining when you play this card?
The amount of cards remaining when you play it. It follows similar mechanics as any of the other "deck" cards. For example Reno Jackson. You can have two duplicate cards in your deck at the beginning of the game, but once you draw it, it's no longer considered your deck. Same principle applies here.
Guess whos gonna run Ticking Abomination kappa B)
Priest vs Priest ; please, help yourself with my minions - Entomb* 2 of them - so I can play them again later on ..!
Forever lasting games lul
golden monkey bishop kappa priest?
Well if you're playing a control priest mirror this card is really bonkers. Otherwise it's just a troll card imo. Adding cards to your deck that probably don't combo well with your deck is a really bad thing if you're not going to fatigue.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Horrendous card, which will still win games it shouldn't. Seems to be the theme of the set.
Yes, though it was more meant as despairing laughter than dramatic effect. The idea behind the card is fun (I guess) but in practice it will either make you lose the game through inconsistency or win because your opponent runs out of cards. There's no actual skill involved, which makes me quite sad.
Wow, my first auto-hidden comment. Not sure if I should feel honoured or ashamed. I think it's more for the stupid exaggerated laugh than anything else.
Having no avatar will do that. ^^
So the obvious utility is when you're against a control deck with 5-10 cards left in each deck with most of your power cards played. The downside is that it's a 7-mana 4/6 that does nothing. Curator would be garbage without taunt. I don' think the card is affordable. Aggro can be relative, and this card is too expensive to last against aggro. But, this is a super, super, super fun card. If there were a mechanic/card to mulligan cards mid-game so many more possibilities would emerge.
This card is the perfect example of how greed can skew peoples judgement. some are so focused on how much this card can give that they dont even ask if its even a good thing. youre just mixing their remaining cards with your deck, which weakens the focus of both on top of that you have to pay 7 mana for a 4/6...for example: starting half a jade deck on turn seven is no where near as good as starting a full jade deck on turn one
Imagine how long Beneidctus + Quest mirrors are going to take :3
I like it already! If I do no open it in the first 50 or so packs totally crafting it! jus make a priest deck full of cycle and mirror match!
edit:is it their full deck or their remaining deck ? I still like it
I thought a control mage would be viable, what with Frostlich Jaina, but this card alone makes it hard. While it does break the consistency of your deck, we're talking about priest, here, the king of self-heal (with Reno of the Feast), and they'd now have your fireballs, pyroblasts and elementals. Just think how ridiculous it will be if Jaina herself is copied.
I think this card could be sick with Hemet.
