This seems reaaaaallly lackluster. for the hunter legendary I guess it depends on wether we get some insane deathrattle mech
Both cards will only see play if there are support cards that work with them and the meta is right. Priest is so hard to predict because it is a reactive class, and what cards work and what cards don't work are entirely controlled by the meta, opponents and the rest of the priest cards.
Oblivatron would have had a better chance if it wasn't a legendary. A one-of means you can't exploit it with (say) Mechanical Whelp, because if you don't draw the legendary, you are stuck with a less-than-ideal card. Of course, if the right card(s) are printed, then this goes into playability.
But imagine this in Wild! Spiritsinger Umbra and Oblivatron. Oblivatron will proc, and if you happen to have another one in hand, it'll summon a second one. Then what? Another Mech? It suddenly becomes a 10 mana value equal to 16 or more in a single turn.
Granted it's not like you will draw these all the time but still.
Oblivitron has good synergy woth mechanical welp
Maybe Oblivitron makes Mechathun hunter viable somehow? It does drastically reduce the cost of the combo.
Mecha'thun says that the board must be clear, so it won't trigger he's effect :/
Mechathun will still be in play, so it does nothing...
It will trigger it because its a deathrattle so the board could be clear
bro, it's like using Play Dead on Mecha'thun, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE SINCE IT WON'T TRIGGER!
it wont be cleared because mechathun is alive, if you play "Play dead" on mechathun it activates his Deathrattle and it wont do anything because the board is not empty. same with Oblivitron
Both cards look bad.
Lazul's scheme can see some play in otk priest but looks way to slow for it.
Oblivitron is just bad for that mana cost...
Lazul's scheme looks strongest in combinations with cards like cabal shadowpriest. It also costs 0 mana, so in a deck with sufficient card draw, it seems pretty good.
Cabal Shadow Priest has entered the chat.
Cabal Shadow Priest wants to know your location
Cabal Shadow Priest wonders why "your attack reduction scheme" doesn't bring a vanilla body with the effect.
And that's about it
Sneed's Old Shredder says 🤖 *bzz bzz*🤖
6 mana Mind Control inc .. kinda :)
Oblivitron and Mechanical Whelp nice combo
The priest spell is pretty good with Mossy Horror or shadow word horror in wild, but then again there is better options out there so I don't think we will see much of this scheme - the hunter card is pretty nice tho.
Edit it only reduce the attack of one minion - completly useless.
