HOLY SHIT!!!
Ouch, good catch!
That is incredible
Is this combo not completely broken? Like, if the opponent doesn't have a taunt up or is immune, they just die (unless they have, like, 90 armor)?
wait what... Well at least it is easy to board clear/deadly shot...
time tu run taunts
yeah but you have to board clear a 4/4 stealth on turn 4 or on turn 5 you get infinite damaged. (note this is a priest combo, so 1 taunt won't stop it if you have 1 silence)
Oh wow, this card was just annouced and there's already a broken af combo.
Inb4, Blizzard nerfs SN1P-SN4P to 4 mana.
Taunts won't save you... Mass Dispel is still a card
You just need enough board clears to kill all stealthy mechs...
actually no... you need to kill ALL the mechs... because as soon as one mech for priest sticks on 9 mana you are ded if the have the 3 card combo...
wouldnt it just die at end of turn? or will magnetic throw away the drawback?
Now, we 100% sure necromechanic is power creep of Baron rivendare, in my days minions like this was leg, not epic.
Baron Rivendare is not a class card. Class cards are always intended to be stronger than neutrals.
So, this is like learning that Santa Claus isn't real. Then you start to realize that someone was eating those cookies and drinking that milk. Hey, wait a minute. What's going on?
This is real, right? Huh, thought I would never see the day. Well good on Blizzard and Team 5.
I mean to me, it makes sense to 'buff' bad cards. They have the numbers and data. They print over 100 cards each expansion and how many ever get used in competitive and ladder decks? 10% if lucky? Maybe 20% at most?
I mean, if I created a set of new cards and 2 months in, you look at the data and see that no one is playing with the new cards, I would be bummed too as a designer.
So for me, keep it up and keep them coming. Make this a regular thing so that Classic and Basic cards no longer have to get nerfed. Using the new cards is fun and cool, but I wouldn't do that if the new cards are worse versions.
Oh, man. I was using Juicy Psychmelon to grab 8-mana Gloop Sprayer. This is a nerf to me!
Good.
but what do you grab for 7 mana slot though? I mean melon still grabs him, you just need to replace your 7 drop with an 8 drop...
It's not a great deck, but it's fun! I need an 8-cost beast for psychmelon...
well... there is actually no 8 cost beasts... bummer...
