does priest REALLY need this or are they coming up with these flashy cards just for the heck of it?
probably the latter. i guess just bend over and let priests run all over your ass
Archbishop Benedictus hmm ?
wtf is that? this is so busted
A few thoughts ...
Just enough mana for a Shadow Word: Death to cast and then drop the scream on a N'Zoth, the Corruptor summon.
Reverse Entombon AOE steroids.
Weasel Tunneler, YOUR MEME TIME HAS COME.
Archbishop Benedictus licks his lips at acquiring more stuff.
Jade Druid wonders how the hell he can get that 10, 11, 12 jade golem on the board now.
Well there goes any hope of Hunter being remotely competitive
might be run as a counter to turn 7 bonemare because it acts as a buffer between dragonfire turn 6 and anduin turn 8. this could be a highroll against jade because your opponent has a chance to top deck jade golems instead of the actual jade summoning cards. it counters midrange/tempo decks and quest mage but is very bad against aggro and control. might be run in silence priest because giving your opponent a 4/8 razorleaf is pretty good.
Yeah, lets give OPriest even more removals, if he hasn't got enough allready -.- ...
so op, 49% wr deck. omg, so op.
Patron Warrior was by pure ladder stats a mediocre deck too back then. But every pro agreed, it was the best deck at this time, regardless most low level player sucked with Patron. Today it's the same with Highlander-Priest: Only morons which only looking at raw win rates think that Highlander-Priest is not T1.
A "silence" and a total board clear? My Kathrena Big Hunter idea isn't looking so hot anymore...
Well.
Turns out Priest is going to be pretty good in this expansion.
How to make Vanish pretty good.
I love the card, don't get me wrong, it's amazing. But good god how seeing cards like this go always to the same classes makes me mad.
How can more "fair" classes (and by that I mean, classes that don't break the rules of the game with their cards) compete with stuff like this?
Hunter has no draw, he commits to the board, he now doesn't get deathrattles and can't get to their strong minions again.
Even worse if he had a few small minions mixed in. He will now be able to draw all those 1/1 spiders nobody cares about.
As in the reveal video same goes to things like shaman and paladin. Classes that have tokens and buffs.
I really like the card, I just wished they gave all the classes cool tools like this to mess with or cards that allow them to fight back those epic turns.
I agree with you. I don't mind that some classes get really powerful tools, but it also feels like they are neglecting some of the other classes like Hunter. Hunter does not have the tools to compete with other aggro decks or other midrange decks and all Blizzard does is throw it more big cards that it can't afford to play.
I'm not trying to jump to conclusions since we still have a lot left to see. I just want more classes to get tools to compete. That doesn't mean dumping aoe, healing, and draw into every class. I think there are ways to make each class strong while still keeping their class identity.
The one thing I hate more than anything in hearthstone is the class Status Quo.
It's been what? 3 years with druid as top tier? Why always the fun and cool cards go to the same classes. It only points to how flawed the core-set of the classes is. Hunter and shaman have nothing good, not even minions, if their identity is to play minions they will always have to receive the most straight-forward boring stupid cards just to compete. Because they lack 1 and 2 drops. Because they lack fundamental mechanics like card draw and AoE and doing anything else other than just playing on curve.
They are slowly trying to change this, but it's too slow when they keep printing such amazing cards for other classes that already have their fun tools.
does it work on board only or all minions in both decks?
Ofc board, if not - it's stupid, how win if you gave all your minions to opponent?
its stupid anyway. at least you could be cheesy with it
