Imagine the shenanigans with Illusionist, Malygos, and lab recruiter. “Sure I’ll take three 1-1 Malys”
Hell I like the idea of Splitting Festeroot, Preparation and Necrium Vial for 10 mana.
Of course it's more memeish than viable but it sounds cool.
Question is what minion you want 3-4 copies of. Probanly Malygos
I'm not sure how the deathrattle combos are going to play out yet but having a kobold illusionist on the field, malygos and sinister strikes/evicserates in hand, and triggering the new death rattle weapon sounds like a dream to me.
Hell, if you manage to have your kobold illusionist survive a turn then to summon maly off your weapo despite having a cube in hand also, 50/50 so there's a risk. Imagine pulling off a cube, prep, necrium vial combo to summon 4+ malygos with mana to spare. 6 malygos if you can somehow cube one, keep it alive a turn, and trigger the weapon death rattle or have the minion die to another, then vial.
Definitely looking forward to seeing how this plays out in live.
Im glad ppl in the forum arent in the dev team. This card is overcosted for a reason. Good card malygos will be present a lot more in HS now
Because of context. Rogue has Preparation to reduce its cost, also tons of card draw to get your combo pieces.
Just why... this card is 2 mana too expensive. If i want multiple deathrattle trigger i just play cube. Essentialy a trigger a deathrattle on a 4 6 body and later on trigger the deathrattle 2 times more if not silenced + extra bodies etc. Why then pay 5 mana for a far worse effect. For 3 mana nice card for 5 just unplayable with cube around.
Because of prep. They don't want you playing a 0 mana double trigger. It could make unfair combos work.
You're basically asking for the most cancerous combo right away. Good it costs 5 so people will need to use brain to actually use this card.
And... How many cards and mana is Play Death played twice on one minion?
And how many cards and mana is this with Preparation?
Think before you write a comment please.
Play cube, then play this on cube.
Kobold Illusionist with only Malygos in hand, Preparation + Necrium Vial Razorpetal Razorpetal
Not to mention the other damage spell possibilities. I don't know how optimal or doable a combo like this would be, but it's there. Maybe it's clunky, the weirdest condition being to have only Malygos in hand.
Every expansion blizzard seems to release 1 or 2 epics that are pretty mediocre. This seems to be one of them.
So everyone is playing Silence or Druid this expansion, yeah?
Silence priest meta
Decent effect but honestly I think it's too expensive for standard. However, in Wild it could be a real thing.
No sense mana cost...
Card design space
At this point i just want Preparation to be HOFed. This, WANTED! , Envenom Weapon - blizz, plizz just get rid of prep and stop making potentialy good and playable cards overcosted and therefore useless
I mean...if you think about it, they expect you to use it with Preparation, which makes it a 2-mana 2 card combo which is the same as double Play Dead.
Given the context of surrounding cards it's appropriately priced:
The benefit of having a 1 mana card is that you can combo it with Egg on turn 4 or Cube on 6. The benefit of the 5 mana card is that you don't always have to draw both cards to get the desired effect. For example Kobold Illusionist + this summoning 2 maly + sinister strike is 10 mana deal 13 and get a must clear board with deathrattle.
