This is actually a good counter against mecha’thun
silence priest I guess?
Yes
your goddamn right! :)
imagin this in turn 4 when opponent is on 17 hp, few removals can touch this, next turn a Wargear+Soulfire gg
Looks like more support for the tavernbrawl bosses!
Meme content for Firelands Portal ?
auto inclusion to mech zoolock as a late game card and nice body for zilliax
I feel that this card is really balanced, maybe better than fel reaver. Glad Silence Priest is getting some support!
This can be compared to Fel Reaver, which saw some play, but giving your opponents minions reborn is much worse than discarding 3 cards in my opinion.
As another user suggested using it with Silence in priest might be good - we will have to wait and see what happens.
On turn 5 your opponent could have a lot of minions in hand that would be really bad news if they also have reborn. Especially deathrattle decks. I think the downside is too much for this to every be played.
Best case is you played a 5 mana 8/8 with no downside, which is admittedly pretty strong, but the worst case is you played a 5 mana 8/8 that lost you the game.
Edit: Yeah I guess silence priest, I forgot about that one.
However, if your opponent has a lot of minions in hand on turn 5 and isn't playing any how many do you think they could play given 6 mana?? Meanwhile you have a 8/8 on board without a conditional way to get it out there so unlike with Mountain Giant or other big minions around this point you dont need to hold cards in hand or build your deck a very specific way. That means you can still play minions and cards up to turn 5 if you drop this on curve and if you don't play Mortuary Machine on curve you probably have other things to do anyway (Including pushing tempo with other minions that are on board already when playing this)
Bittertide Hydra saw play in many agressive stategies while in standard due to the low cost high stats. Difference with this one is that
(a) its a mech which works with any mech synergies you might have (have you seen warrior or hunter?)
(b) it only affects minions that aren't yet in play (Bittertide's drawback was that it even incentivised killing it with on-board minions to deal extra damage to you, still allowing them to maintain previous tempo by developing and clearing your threat)
(c) The downside on this isn't immediate, sure they can play 1-2 minions on turn 6 or 7 and benefit from the bonus reborn keyword, however they still need to deal with an 8/8 that can be magnetized onto. (8/8s kill people fast)
(d) Value isn't good in a game where your lifetotal is being threatened by aggressive or tempo strategies. (Future value is only valuable if you're still in the same game)
TLDR; card is a lot better than you're giving it credit for, only aggressive strategies that actually want the opponent dead quickly will play this. Plus is a mech (because why not at this stage).
Damage + Damage is a legit combo so don't underestimate it.
People: Can we get a mech hunter nerf cause its so busted
Mortuary Machine: Yes
People: Can we get a warrior nerf cause its so busted?
Blizzard: No
Good for Silence Priest
I guess it's better than Fel Reaver
No, it's not, you can admit that the cards you discard were your bottom cards so the effect didn't matter most of the time. This cards means that you will lose board state the next turn because reborn is a good board control effect, so this is likely to attack just 1 turn while you give 2 turns of reborn to your opponent.
Fel Reaver is better because on this card you give your opponent tempo, and fel reaver downside didnt impact the board.. you wanted fel reaver on aggro decks.. this card is not that good on aggro, if opponent play taunt then it gets reborn for example..
yeah, right.. fel reaver was played on a lot of aggro decks and up until before this last expansion it was a solid staple on mech hunter..
