Mindbreaker meta?
Does Clockwork Automation stack with Prophet Velen?
Yes, the same way Malygos stacks with Velen (only here the math is easier).
for sure man, for sure!
actually the double heal/damage is insane with Bloodreavers hero power, 6dmg 12 heal
But before playing hero card, i belive it makes it so you take 4 damage xD
I thought we've been over this in TGT. There's no way a 7 mana 4/4 and an 7 mana 3/4 with marginal value will see play over what the decks nowadays are doing on the board, upgraded hero powers or not. We had upgraded hero powers with Justicar in TGT and inspire cards did both jack and shit, because all of them cost 2 mana more to get something out of them before they inevitably die the next turn. The only way these things can hold actual potential is with DKs. Deal 6 heal 6 is nice, so is 2 damage ping for Water Elementals. But I'm pretty damn sure nobody is going to run such underpowered cards and hold them in their hand just in case they draw and play their DK. That's fewer boardclears or removal in your hand against aggro, fewer answers against control that will in the end outvalue your hero power six ways till Sunday by NOT playing these cards and playing something actually powerful in their place.
I'm starting to get the feeling that Blizz is trying to nerf down the powerlevel of the sets a bit after what we've seen happen recently. Sadly, that also means that until the powerful sets rotate out, the downpowered cards won't have any impact or change the meta in any way. Alternatively, the best pieces of the set are yet to come and this is just the filler.
Yeah because 16 damage to the face from the Warrior quest hero power upgrade is so terrible. While this guy sits behind a massive amount of taunts.
Ow
Guess Blizzard likes the the 3 mana 3/4 stat line now. Clockwork might be interesting to see how or if it will be used. Very interesting effect.
My take on Odd Face Hunter using Clockwork Automaton (the idea here is to cube your automaton, then play dead on it):
sick
6 damage hunter hero power...damn, that's solid.
This one should be fun in wild :)
Few months ago i play a similar deck, but instead of cubing Clockwork Automaton i cubed Leeroy.
The Clockwork Automaton will see play, not sure about the Pixie though - Would probably have to be in some form of Exodia Paladin.
