This card is very frustrating. The other Unidentified spells revealed so far have had random effects worth about 2 mana, while this has random effects worth about 5 mana. That means it’s larger variance; when you get an effect that’s not useful, it’s -really- not useful. That combined with the bad base effect makes this card quite a bit worse than the other Unidentified cards I’ve seen.
When is this card ever understated? All effects are good and worth it.
How in any way possible is this card bad? All the effects aren't "unplayable" like the other Unidentified cards. Besides, just because it costs more doesn't mean the effects are of higher variance. That doesn't mean that if I get an effect that isn't useful now I can't save it for later. Sure, Tower Shield +10 is pretty bad against Highlander Priest or Quest Mage, but in any other matchup, it's fantastic. All the effects are really good, you just need to learn how to gauge the usefulness of the card correctly. If every card in the game was Ultimate Infestation, even Trump would stop playing.
I wish it was 5 mana since the effect changes randomly and class cards are supposed to be powerful. Make it 5 mana and change the name to minimal infestation :d
The possibility of getting "Tower Shield" makes this card unplayable
Remember Shieldmaiden she return in random spell :D Runed Shield
it reminds me of Kazakus 5 mana potion but more RNG + 1 more mana,
if you want to win it's 50/50 you get it right or 25/75 if there is a taunt too....
if you want to survive the armor or the minion is better.
5 armor overall is good too, I would play it in my deck
I'm calling it. Warrior got dicked again. As someone who got golden warrior entirely with control warrior, I'm depressed that control warrior draws the short straw every expansion. Especially KFT. Why was the warrior deathknight the least control oriented?
Because Blizzard thinks Priest is a good thing for the game.
What do you mean least control oriented? A 4/3 weapon that is basically three board clears screams aggro to you? seriously?
The whole fatigue deck relies on him to work. Every second control warrior deck includes him. He is not the least control oriented, lad. That goes to shaman.
I'm calling it. You must be really special to be able to predict this based on 40% of Warrior cards being revealed with a Legendary and two Epic's yet to come. And a technical term such as "dicked" must mean that you have an Ivy League education.
This is actually really good for control warrior. It is a rather versatile card that can combo rather well.
If you go by these, UI is actually worth 11 mana (runed and serrated shield, with 5 less armour (which is worth 1 mana))
Forgot about card draw somehow, forgive my sleep deprived brain
3 of the options aren’t bad. Also gain 15 health is really valuable in a meta with a ton of raza priest so even that isn’t absolutely terrible. If control warrior becomes a thing I could see them playing this.
WOW imagine a card with those effects combined I would name it Ultimate Infestation , but they would never make a card like that, right?
dude you killed me ajajajajajaa
not the same effects though
still waiting for an actual shield "weapon" that doesnt deal damage, maybe its getting there next expansion
Half of the effects are good: Shieldmaiden effect (5/5 and 5 armor) and Arcanite Reaper (+ Iron Hide). Deal 5 damage or extra 10 armor are kinda underwhelming. I prefer Shield Block + Shield Slam or just Bring It On in this situation. 6 mana doesn't worth it.
