Pogo hopper rogue with Edward van cleef, and the shrine
Please note - this card DRAWS the minions, not summons a copies, so if you play him he will remove the Malygos/Velen etc. from your deck.
I don't see where is the bad part? You would use the otk combo next turn anyway. Or am I wrong?
People are freaking out about possible degenerate combos with Velen, Maly and stuff, but this card IS NOT A COMBO ENABLER.
This is 8 mana, and by the time you can play this, you've probably drawn 60% of your deck (assuming you play this on curve) and among the cards already drawn might be your big combo minions.
The only use I see for this card is with some battlecry / deathrattle shenannigans, mostly in Wild.
Same thing with Gallery and it still works, isn't it?
You are in for a rude awakening, my friend. There are plenty of ways to put specific minions back into a deck, so it doesn't matter what gets drawn first.
I see you are all.. excited? for this card. I hope you are all wrong about its power level, because if it actually works, we all know
Blizzard's anti-fun policy with combo decks. And the cards that will pay the price will probably be Malygos & Friends.
When a combo is strong in Standard, Blizzard straight up kills it nerfing the enabler (which BTW is not Jepetto, way too slow even if you run stuff like Baleful Banker )
And I personally don't like my classic cards getting nerfed, specially since I play Wild and if you kill it in Standard, the shit splashes all over to Wild. Druid is already dead, and it was thanks to the Psychmelon, a card like Jepetto.
Tutoring mechathun with this might be fun. But probably not the best idea because you still beed to draw your deck.
By turn 8 they already have a rez pool going, or they are dead. This just makes Barnes and other cards that pull from the deck less consistent. The same reason why NZoth isn't in the deck even though it could create a wall of statues if it was.
Jepetto Joybuzz, Chef Nomi, Togwaggle's Scheme, Myra's Unstable Element, Academic Espionage, Pogo-Hopper, Lab Recruiter, Elven Minstrel... something weird is shaping up out there...
you know what deck I would put this in? Shudderwock shaman. most of your minions already cost 4+. and for most of the minions in there, you only need the battlecry, not the actually stats. and some cards like Doppelgangster, and Grumble, Worldshaker are kinda hard to play, but if they were 1 mana 1/1's then it would be a lot easier.
the only problem is that if your shudderwock turns into a 1 mana 1/1, then the hagatha battlecry kills it, so you would need to play jepetto before hagatha, to know if its safe or not.
Just Hall of Fame Malygos Already
Amen
Double Amen
This is really strong in rogue with togwaggles scheme, maly rogue may be a really strong OTK deck post rotation
this is why i hate people, they are looking-at Current mets for god sake use your brain for once and think of the uses for it thats not in meta yet this why we see the same decks over and over again . dude Do you nothave brain
Honestly the most useful combo I could see with this is Using it with Velen and Vivid Nightmare.
Velen is the only reasonable combo piece that can be shuffled with Banker the turn it's played (technically Antonidas works too, but Galaxy OTK Mage didn't take off either despite having a similar concept)
Get the 1-mana Velen, double NIghtmare it and double Mindblast for 40 damage + 16 more damage from a Holy Smite.
Priest has the advantage of being a control class and has gotten a bunch of 0-mana spells to cycle with Auctioneer.
On the flipside we actually need to draw all the combo pieces and most likely still spend an entire turn shuffling the Velen back, then draw it and survive for another turn and ultimately keep at least 4 combo pieces.
Not saying it's impossible...just highly unlikely.
ok, first of all, you know there is a quote feature, right?
second, what is your point exactly?
a) you didn't make a point other than "meta is different, therefore it will work"
b) learn to use the quote button you brainlet
c) actually explain to me how to use this in a combo that's not in the meta yet

I think that combo is still 11 mana total.
1 mana Velen,
2x 3 mana vivid nightmare,
2x 2 mana mindblast
You can pull it off for ten mana 28 damage with mind blast, holt smite.
