In what world is this "much worse" than Deathlord when it triggers instantly? lol
because what comes out of it can attack next turn. while deathlord can keep off a lot before your opponent can gain anything from the DR
Deathlord’s value came from the fact that it was god tier against Aggro decks. 3 mana vs 4 a mana is huge, it can be the difference between life or death against Aggro. Yeah it was nice that it could break combos, but nobody way running deathlord because it broke combos. Dirty Rat is a much better anti combo card than deathlord, and it was run for breaking combos. See old control warrior and old control warlock decks.
only if it was odd....
Baku rotates anyway... In wild you have deathlord.
the heck
ler
You are severely underestimating this card.
Why are ppl hyping this? It can not be compared to dirty rat except for it denies battlecry. but before you play this, ask yourselves: can you cope with a maly/ysera at turn 5?
the rat directly intervened with the opponents starting hand. with this, better keep in mind that all the high mana minions can come to the field.
I mean big minions still end up in starting hand sometimes so meh. And if you can't cope just wait until turn 7-8 where you can remove the big guy same turn. Actually pretty good against aggro still. You have much higher chance to pull their small guys than with dirty rat. Because big guys are often sitting in hand for those decks.
Because this is a heathstone forum, remember when Gnomeferatu was revealed and people where going on about how it was too OP?
Well this hecklebot is not op... It is good as minion based combo disruption only. And decent against aggro sometimes, but that is about it.
I imagine the people who are playing this are going to have hard removal on hand to deal with the big pulls. Anyone playing it willy nilly is gonna have a bad time, but most players are smarter than that.
So good! Thank you Blizzard, now I may have a change against combo decks!
Doity rat 2.0. So gud
Death ain't scary talking!
This card is just great imo.
Its good against aggro and it has a potential to destroy combo decks. 8/10
i'd say its worse than Deathlord simply becouse of battlecry. On play you summon a minion, so opponent can hit with it the next turn, while Deathlord had deathrattle, you played it, opponent killed it, summoned a minion but couldnt attack with it...
and you can silence it ;)
but battlecry is better with "recruit oder get summoned from another card"... cause the effect will not trigger!
