Does the Spell casting count for Arcane Giant?
OTK ROGUE
1 Roll the Bone, 1 conceal, 1 red mana wyrm, 27 deathrattle minions.
Play Wrym, play conceal, play roll the bones, gain probably 30-40 attack, OTK next turn.
But the chances of you drawing the combo are 20000000 to 1
Wrathion burns your entire deck if you run 29 dragons.
well, you should change your wiki, cause I just tested this again and got instant fatigue turn 6 with 29 dragons prisest.
> Play this with 29 deathrattle minions
> Your opponent can't kill you, they can only watch
You've got to enjoy the little things.
As a mathematician, I assume you play Roll the Bones with a random amount of cards in your deck between 0 and 25.
Left column: Amount of deathrattle minions in your deck
Right column: Avarage amount of cards drawn
Because of my assumtion, these numbers are slightly smaller than it would be in practice, because you usually have drawn less than half of your deck when playing a card on avarage. But you need to have 20+ deathrattle minions in your deck for this difference to be noticable.
Formula: 1/26*Sigma (lower limit: i=0) (upper limit: 25) (i+1)/(i+1-x*i/29)
where x is the amount of deathrattle cards in your deck
They were assuming a random number of cards left in your deck between 25 and 0. If you play it with only 3 cards in deck, then drawing your entire deck is only four draws (one of fatigue). Since you'll draw Roll the Bones at a random point, drawing your entire deck is on average about 13.5 draws.
What devilry is this?
This was calculated considering only 1 Roll the Bones, right?
It's not a huge difference, but still a difference.
I've always had a fun Deathrattle rogue deck since WotOG and this card will be a good addition to it. Looking forward to KotFT to update my deck.
Draw engine for deathrattle rogues. Inlooking forward to tsee this in new archetypes
Art as seen in Ancient Power.
good eye
Honestly this would have been a good DK hero power to have, though unoriginal.
shiv is better than roll the bones.
