Wait, no "Dustwood" meme in the comment section? Is that a miracle?
ew
Now on turn 6 Ultimate Infestation wil be the most emostion card in game.
Great can't wait to get OTK by Malygos druid on turn 6 every game now.
Can't believe Blizzard made this Stupid OP card to beat cubelock in both wild and standard.
Doesn't really work as a combo on the same turn. This counts as the first minion you played so you'll have to wait a turn to reap the benefits from this. Hoping it survives.
Don't worry. This card gives Lock (or Priest) a free play of any cost or category before opponent can utilize it. Both Lock and Priest also have many control cards and keep large hands with various answers in them. Most of the time you will have the tools to beat that combo and probably even use it to your own advantage.
This may be the worst card ever printed.
Doesn't Duskfallen Avianacount as the first card played during a turn though?
Yep, it would. Your opponent will get a free play before you get a free play no matter what.
nope, it works the same as Pint-Sized Summoner for example
it's effect only works after you play it
Eh, it's supposed to say Aviana, which is a female WoW character.
this isn't the right way to nerf firelands portal brode
Oh I get it, Emeriss is meant to be hunter's tech vs. meme druid.
More than likely its an april fools joke by blizz. And ben brode
What would a reveal season be without a card leak. Combo Druid would certainly love this if they had a way to keep this and themselves alive during their opponent's next turn.
Ironic, Tyrantus was revealed a day before April fools. Prepare for this trend of shitty legendary cards for Druid every April fools!
To start off, this card upsets me greatly. I'm not upset about this card because it's garbage, in fact, I don't actually think it's all that bad. This card upsets me because it would have been nice if Druid got at least ONE card that was just plain good, not "only good if." Druid really seems to be getting the shaft this set.
I think the idea behind this card is that druid can ramp to 7 mana while their opponent is still at around 3 or 4 (in ideal circumstances of course), and even with a free card, only have 3-4 mana to follow up on that usually won't put them so far ahead that you can't deal with it when you're at 8 mana.
MOST of the time it'll just immediately eat a free removal spell and you've spent your 7 mana turn doing nothing, but again, it's doubtful that with even 5 mana they'll build something you can't deal with at 8 mana, and if they CAN'T remove it, you get a free UI, 8+mana combo piece and then go off.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this card is good, I just don't think it's COMPLETE garbage. I think it'll see play for a bit while people try to make it work but I think it'll be WAY to inconsistent in ramp druid to work and I don't think any other archetype will be able to make use of it, so for this set it'll probably just be another dead druid card.
Having said all that, this could easily just be an April Fool's Joke.
Agree with your post........
And failing any sort of ramp druid deck, you bet your sweet bippy I'm still gonna build wild "Meme-furion Group Hug" with this, Millhouse, Nat the Dark Fisher, Coldlights, the new druid 1/6 card machine, and so on.
Great April Fool's Joke - really enjoyed it ;-)
