I think Rexxar's is good, and Valeera's is passable, but yeah, the art looks bad. Usually a big problem is the background being colorless and bland.
Meh.
because the majority of games played are against aggro. sure this card is ok if there was ever a control meta, but there have been exactly zero control metas in hearthstone's 3 year existence. have fun drawing this worthless 8 mana card that you wouldnt even want to play on turn 8 against pirate warrior.
You are being hilariously hostile to someone who is theorycrafting a deck for this card.
You're also stating the obvious. Everyone knows that there are a lot of aggro decks on ladder. You also conveniently forget that it's possible to build a deck that balances control and aggro management.
I can totally see DK Anduin in a spell-heavy deck with Pyromancers, Lyra and maybe Medivh.
Who knows? We're just theorycrafting instead of bringing the whole thread down.
good luck with that. spoiler alert: you'll fucking fail
And yet folks continue to post comments that bring down actually trying to make good use of the card as Ryan and Emperio are. I'm new to these boards but seems an awful lot of complaining for what is supposed to be a time of excitement. Yes, rampant aggro (aka Pirate Warrior and turn 1 Flappy Bird) is a problem, but in any card game there is always a complex balance of aggro-control-combo and you can't fix that with a magical card or two, that will warp the game. I for one am excited to see different design space being explored as it means the game still has a healthy amount of room to grow.
That said, I'm 100% F2P casual so I don't give a darn about competitive decks. And I appreciate everyone keeping those netdecks out of the casual rooms thank you very much :)
Looking forward to the rest of the reveals!
still hoping team 5 didnt murder guldan's version
Love the cards effect and I've been so excited for the priest death knight at the edge of my chair since the trailer released but I'm a little disapointed in the card art, I was just let down it wasn't the dark shadow beast as seen in the trailer. Rather it looks like a cosplaying void walker and it's very bright for a SHADOW card. All that aside I'm super excited to play this card in all its glory.
The battlecry is very powerful. Hitting one target is good, hitting more would be back breaking.
The hero power can be crazy with raza making it 0 mana, easily outputting 4-8 damage spread out per turn.
As long as aggro is not stupidly dominant this card is gonna see some serious play.
But aggro is always dominant.
Most of the hero cards will fail simply because of aggro. Most of the entire set will fail because of aggro. No one will have fun because of aggro. Control hunter won't extist because of aggro.
Aggro aggro aggro.
truth. there is absolutely nothing in this expansion that counters pirate warrior, but that doesn't stop the braindead fanboys from wasting another $50 on a pre-order
but there never has been a meta without competitive aggro decks.
It might have been good if it costed 5 mana. It's played too late in the game and the card requires a control priest for it to work. Priest does not have that much removal, aoe, etc. Unless you put in the Priest quest and somehow make it work with your hero power, this will never be played.
Ok , about the hero power, isnt this a really good idea with the card that puts you'r hero at 0 mana? and then run small cards (mind blast, etc) and destroy you'r enemy?
Raza still here somewhere?
