Finally a neutral combo disruption card - my prayers have been heard. This have been much needed.
An interesting counterplay card if nothing else. A little risky early game for anti-aggro or a late game combo breaker with good use of removal. Even if it's not a meta breaker, and it isn't, this is a card Hearthstone needed.
Combo decks HATE this card.
10 mana combo in warlock. Hecklebot Siphon soul. In priest there is hecklebot shadow word death. If combo decks remain in meta, not sure where the meta is going atm, then this will see play. Beyond that when people compare it to rat or deathlord he is not that different. There are a decent amount of cheap removals in the game. Each class has one.
Druid:Naturalize
Warlock: Siphon Soul
Priest: Death/pain
Mage:Polymorph
Hunter:Hunter's mark and springpaw
Shaman: Hex
Warrior: Whirlwind Execute or Shield Slam
Rogue:Assassinate/Sap
Paladin:Pyro Equality.
Some not cheap but every deck can deal with whatever is pulled.
Nice assessment, but a couple issues:
Naturalize is rotating.
Hecklebot + Sap is basically drawing a minion for your opponent, and Assassinate is not good enough to be run just for this. I would say Hecklebot + Unidentified Contract is much more likely, should Control Rogue ever be a thing.
Hecklebot + Wild Pyromancer + Equality no longer works, now that Equality costs 4.
Naturalize is rotating out .
equality is 4, yes. but 4+4+2=10.
I think you forgot this:
Warlock (Zoo / Aggro): Demonbolt
Rogue also has Walk the Plank
4+4+2=10
Did forget won't lie
This will see play I'm every aggro meta until the end of time.
"You shalt not gain battlecry value, <emeriss/deathwing/...>" :)
Solid tech card
unplayable in wild. unless they nerf big priest
Just climb above rank 5 and you see none big priest
Damm I guess we are playing different wild ladders then
Not on EU unfortunately
I'm glad this is going to exist. I dunno how effective it will be in the end, but this is a kind of card which ought to be in the game.
This is no dirty rat or deathlord. Much worse than those. Not bad, and I’m sure it will have its niche applications, but just remember it’s 4 mana. That’s a lot.
