guys you are freaking up for nothing, this card does exactly the same of Vivid Nightmare but you have to wait the minion dies before having your copy on board.
EDIT: well thinking about it playing this and then playing also vivid nighmare with amet on the board it is a hell of a combo.
Yep it's called Desperate Stand.
Thing is, Reborn is really bad gamedesign, just like Recruit.
Reborn is the same as Deathrattle: Return to Life with 1 Health.
Recruit is the same as Summon from Deck
It's hiding a Gameterm behind another term. And that new Term will just be a thing for one expansion, then dropped again.
Keywords should make the Game simpler, not create confusion because there are different names for the same thing.
For example, Echo is a cool idea, Instead of writring "Repeatable this Turn", one could write Echo and save the card space. But what did Blizzard do? They dropped Echo, and now print "Repeatable this Turn" again.
I completely agree but there is a slight difference between "summon from your deck" and Recruit. "Summon from your deck" summons the minion to the rightmost position on your board and Recruit summons to the immediate right of the minion which recruited it. If a Recruit spell is used, it will be the rightmost position of your board so there is no difference there.
This is good to know for stuff like Dire Wolf Alpha or if your positioning against board clear matters, like against Supercollider or Meteor.
There might be a more intricate combo too. But not as simple as 5 cards win the game
making it only target minions would make it way more OP
Big Priest in Wild was already a problem...Barnes' summons just got nastier.
Not sure after all the card we have seen why putting reborn on a card is for priest? Felt like they were moving toward that for Paladin and giving priest something different.
I mean, it is a very preist style mechanic, with it being resurrected and all that...
Do we know exactly how Reborn works? If it summons the minion, Embalming Ritual + Test Subject + Smite/Topsy Turvy + Radiant Elemental + Knife Juggler is infinite Damage for 5 cards and 5 Mana. That can be from an empty board.
3 Mana, 4 cards + payoff less than 7 is a good and easy combo to pull off.
Just saying....
Does take some time though with all the animations but this could be a serious problem
Back in the days of old APM priest, you needed to do somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 actions in 75 seconds to combo. This would require 2 actions per 1 damage. Ritual + Smite. So 30 damage is 63 actions in 75 seconds. With each point of HP on board it is another 2 actions (assuming you didn’t praise Yogg before hand). So 100 actions could be about 48 damage if guessing 100 actions can be taken in 75 secs.
Honestly Knife Juggler has been the problem card for so many combos that it should be changed to only target minions from its effect
Anyone else know of any payoffs for this combo that just win the game? Like sticking a Mana Addict or Questing Adventurer the turn before, but that doesn’t seem good. Infinite card draw with Cult Master.
What else can we think of to win on the spot?
Imagine Murloc Priest with High Priest Amet, Psychopomp and this card - i.e. army of reborning murlocs with 7 Health...
wait a minute .... they've already printed this card before
.
how annoying would this be on Safeguard.
It would be cool if this stacked, but i doubt it.
Probably won't stack, since it's a keyword, but then again, if they programmed it the same way they programmed deathrattles, it might.
