Everyone here talking crap on runespear but that weapon has won me some games lol. This could be an indirect buff to it because I don't see anyone running this card in their deck. Too expensive.
Come Aug. 7, the Hearthstone metasphere is going to look drastically different. This expansion is insane.
insane? thats an understatement
Oh wait...
Arcane Dynamo haHA
Clown fiesta incoming.
Worse Evolve.
Better evolve with a tiny board. Good chance to high roll some 1/1 tokens into monsters.
I could see some kind of token Shaman being pretty good with the spark generators, Violet Teacher, and the spell doubler with Bloodlust.
People calling this card a strictly worse bloodlust seem to be ignoring so many factors that set the 2 apart.
1)Maybe your minions can't attack: maybe you just traded a violet worm or something like that, maybe instead of waiting for the tokens to be destroyed you can turn them into a stronger board to ensure they survive and pose a bigger threat
2)Maybe there are taunts in the way: maybe instead of wasting your board and bloodlust on a spreading plague, again, you turn it into a bigger long lasting threat that can easily trade on multiple targets, AND you still have your win condition
3)Maybe you just don't have lethal: same as the other cases, instead of counting on small, easy to destroy minions, you just turn them into a big lasting board that can shred your oppent's health and armor on multiple turns while waiting for an opportunity to finish him with bloodlust.
Very situational. If Evolve Shaman were still a thing on the meta this one could work in some meme version of it. also Bloodlust is way better: costs 2 less mana and can finish off your opponent depending on how much minions your board has. I can't see this being put in an actual deck, but when generated from another card it can really put you in a good spot.
this card is meh. But it does make The Runespear viable.
right? like maybe in even shaman or something, that deck floods the board very fast and getting a bloodlust or this from it shouldnt bad at all, at least if even shaman is still a thing :D
Can totems stop being considered minions. We need a new classification.
“Token”
Why would you want this.
Arcane Dynamo 3:5 chance, not bad, Runespear is good too
You don't put Runespear and good in the same sentence. You just don't.
Honestly The Runespear isn't even that bad. People always think about the hypothetical scenarios where you get Cryostasis, Totemic Might or Ancestral Healing, but honestly it rarely happens. On Kobolds launch, I messed around with the card and maybe used it up completely like 20 times (so around 60 discovers) and out of all those times, maybe like 4 or 5 of those had scenarios like that. The rest of the time you can usually find something useful or in worst case scenario, something that doesn't do anything negative.
Yeah but "allright" cards stopped being playable like 4 years ago, now a card needs to do sth ridiculous to be good, and an 8 mana 3/3 weapon out of which You usually get 2 spells that are "meh" isn't good enough.
It's not like you are paying mana for the "alright" cards and free things are typically pretty good, not to mention the weapon acts as removal. I never said the card is amazing or even great to that matter, just that it doesn't deserve the meme status that it currently has.
you can do a token shaman with the spell of totems so you have the board with minions and the spell of transform in totems the enemy clear the board but in your side you have totems so in your turn you can use this spell and transform your totems in legendary minions xD its aposibilty but i dont know xD
