With the bad luck I have I probably won't get out in any pack. It is a autoincluded in all decks.
Presenting, the card most likely to be nerfed following the expansion release
Pseudo hard removal. The idea of protecting a minion is nice but what do you want to protect with this? it has to be something that would benefit while being on the board. Maybe Questing Adventurer?
Mage has some stuff they could do with protecting. This plus Kael'thas Sunstrider guarantees you a turn where you can use a full 10 mana on spells. Khadgar for summoning shenanigans.
ehhm ..protecting ?
ofc you use it on opponent minions like on a big fucking taunt as an aggro deck for example
Dormant means completely inactive.
No, the minion is inactive and disabled.
Well maybe you have a big important minion and your opponent plays some kind of, for instance poisonous minion that might ruin your plans, so you postpone them instead and deal with the menace first.
It goes dormant for 2 turns meaning it can't be hurt. It awakens on YOUR turn. So imagine if you used it on something like an Archmage Antonidas (I know the mana cost makes it difficult to play these in the same turn). Yeah, for two turns its dormant and disabled. But it wakes up on your turn and there is nothing your opponent can do to stop you from generating Fireballs because they can't interact or destroy the minion. This card is flexible and has multiple uses and doesn't only have to be used against your opponent's minions.
The flexibility of this card is crazy. It's both offensive and defensive and it can help protect a win condition.
Using it on doomsayer
I'd bet that they will have a baseline Dormant Doomsayer type card somewhere in the set. Dormant for X turns then destroys all minions.
Now THAT is a neutral legendary. Hell yes.
It will 100% proc the dormant demons but that is really awful tempo. Really good tech vs taunts deathrattles and rez priest. Compare to Spellbreaker and this is superior.
Ironically, I think "Demon Hunter" players would surely slot Maiev Shadowsong in their deck on the first day of this expansion.
Well, they did cooperate with her during the Legion's events. 😏
After dormant all buffs and debuffs (silence) will be removed from minion?
So flavorful and fantastic use of a new ability. Do we know if it re-procs minions awakening effect yet?
The days of preventing Galvadon from killing my opponent are now over. 🤣
So happy to see my favourite Warcraft heroine to be so strong in the game! 💪
EDIT: I'm dumb. She won't work with Galvadon. She will certainly cancel all his adapt enchantments. Profound sadness... 😖
There better be an interaction for targeting Illidan Stormrage with this.
