if you control 3 minions with 7 HP, you probably can finish the game .
If your board is already that big may be you don’t need more board clear
There are a few decks that can pull this off, but all are clunky and all require several turns:
I wish this card was better than a meme card because the art is gorgeous and I'll bet it's an amazing golden card.
Shudderwock with Keleseth, summons two copies of himself then deals 7 damage to all enemies, because we needed even more shudderwock value
But that could only work once, because Shudderwock becomes a 6/6 again when it comes back to hand.
I only think about Odd Priest with Moth!
oh! if Stormwind Champion survives on the board (maybe with Ancestral Spirit), playing Shudderwock without Prince Keleseth will be possible and you coulduse Star Aligner's battlecry once or twice.*edit* lol why did i even bother
I'm considering that he counts himself as a 7 Health minion. If this is the case, we need 2 other 7 Health minion on the board. Here are the most viable option I can think:
- Druid can pull it off in 1 turn with Kun the Forgotten King + Street Trickster or Fel Orc Soulfiend + Star Aligner.
- Cubelock can activate it by killing a Carnivorous Cube with a Doomguard inside it. But it requires leaving the cube alive for a turn (and vulnerable to silences and polys).
Edit: just realized Kun is wild. I don't play standard that much :(
Fear their portents!
I absolutely love flavorful cards!
My reaction to this card: confused.
Maybe in taunt druid as Hadronox is a 7 health minion and when cube die you get 2 of Hadronox? And yes this card only require 2 other card as it count itself.
But man, taunt druid is so not fun.
It’s probably a meme card. But I see potential in Wild for Taunt Warrior. There’s also the possibility of a combo in Taunt Druid with Master Greyheart, but right now there are no good 2/7’s for that deck, so we’ll have to see. Finally, there might be a Big Priest that runs this- with selective resurrection effects it’s trivial to stack your board.
Mage is not a consistent big minions class in standard, I don't like this card at all. Never mind, it's a neutral. Well in that case it could see play.
How about in Wild with an Emperor Thaurissan tick then 2x Doomsayer + 2x Purify + Star Aligner. This is a nice and useless combo.
I think there need to be 3 7-health minions on board in addition to Star Aligner, not including him. The battlecry doesn't make this clear, but if we go by Nesting Roc, I'd expect it to work the same (although Nesting Roc does say "other", so maybe Star Aligner counts).
It is worded like Fight Promoter, not like Nesting Roc.
Aviana+kun+7 health minion+brann+ 2Xstar aligner
plus you can bounce it back for extra damage
or you could play floop instead of bouncing
