The Demon Hunter that when awakens deals 10 to all enemies.
Maiev helping Illidan kill people... who would've thought?
Ah, a great card to set up my Tundra Rhino + Zixor Prime combo. Not mandatory to have, but handy.
Zilliax's replacement. I can't see a reason why you wouldn't want this in most decks. Solid statline for an effect that's basically just destroy a minion. Sometimes it's better, because it doesn't trigger deathrattles.
The important question: if i use her on one of the new "imprisoned" minions, do they trigger their awaken effect again? I guess so^^
No. The battlecry is not contingent on the imprisonment, it simply triggers when the minion enters play for the FIRST time, which is after the first dormancy period.
Where do you see the word Battlecry on any cards with Dormant?
Magtheridon and The Darkness :P
So does this mean cards with Dormant => Awaken effects re-trigger?
Yes sir.
No sir. 100%
The Awaken effects goes with the battlecry.
Yeah
Dormant cards don't even have the Battlecry keyword...
The trigger is worded as "When this awakens..."
That means it will trigger any time it awakens from the Dormant effect.
This is our next Zilliax. Auto include in every deck.
This one would probably see play, especially when Spellbreaker goes wild. Depend on how Dormant work, it can be even more busted.
Blizzard having fun. Maiev was Illidan Stromrage's jailor for like 10.000 years. And this puts opponent minions in "jail" for 2 turns. (assuming you are smart enough not to use it on your own minions :P )
Love the flavour. :)
EDIT: Something I hadn;t considered at first, but you can use this card to "re-use" your own Imprisoned Demons. That makes this card even more versatile and smart. Loving it even more now.
Regrettably Illidan is going to be replaced by Xavius as a card or the flavor would've been better (you know, when playing against the three people that actually run Illidan).
You can have like a very valuable minion with a really strong ability that it's hard to use when its played because of its mana cost, you can make it dormant and then 2 turns later you have it with 10 mana available to combo with. You can save an auctioneer or a heavy spell power minion for later. You could also save another valuable minion from a board clear this way too.
I really think they replace Illidan with Xavius because they want to add a new version of him (if not this exp then probably this year) since we already see Liadrin and Maiev (and even Mediv) as minions and heroes already.
Pretty cool. Use it to lock down an enemy minion or have one of your demons go dormant again for it's effect. I'm sure it has other cool uses too. Would it heal the minion?
Ohhhhhh, that's pretty smart actually. I hadn;t considered that you could re-use the Awaken effect of your Imprisoned demons again by making them Dormant again. I'll edit my post to reflect that.
