reminds me a lot of those egg sack things from binding of Isaac
Yeah, yeah. Token egg zoo warlock. Whatever. But HOLY SHIT that art is amazing! I don't care if it's good or not, I'm crafting the golden version of this card!
yeah lets create cards with discard mechanic and never back them up properly until they rotate.
yea... i didnt notice it
now the combo looks prty legit
This goes right hand in hand with [card]Disciplinarian Gandling[/card]
another token card, can be used in zoo or discard decks .... but i dont see any potential
/personal opinnion/
sp00ders!
Yes.
Discard warlock will need to change a few things to get the most value out of this card since the only value current deck lists would get is if this card gets discarded. There's no way to self destroy the egg, however I do acknowledge it's also a pretty decent board wipe recovery card so I think it will get added but shouldn't add too much power.
Good analysis I think, thanks for sharing your insight.
Not really. You just hold it... just like you do the 3/3 minion, 4 damage spell/etc. This fits perfectly in Wild and I will most certainly be trying it x2. Some lists play Howlfiend over Librarian and this will fit even better there as more value fodder.
This is along the lines of what I was thinking as well - treat it like a Silverware Golem and just hold it until discard.
Though I personally haven't played discolock much beyond a few games to simply get a feel for the mulligan, so my own point of view is more from that of a frequent disco opponent.
Question - Do you think Reckless Diretroll will see some play in disco lists along with this card? Could make for a better matchup against pirates I'd imagine.
I can’t stop seeing the spiders wearing shades...
lol nice now I see it
This on turn one with coin into EVIL Genius. Damn. Zoolock is back baby. Ehhh. What am i talking. Zoolock is still... here... baby... i‘m crying...
a push for Egg/Teron path. this can make some really nice trades for zoo, if more tokens are coming Sea Giant can come back
That's fair, but this clearly belongs in zoolock which can run some discard cards. I think it's weird that their focus on discard COMPLETELY switched around from what they were trying to do in KOTFT and Rastakhan's Rumble. But I think this fits better with the discard cards that exist in standard right now.
But honestly if you can't set it up to get discarded, this is a perfectly playable card anyway. Even if you're not running discard synergy this is a good card.
I'd love to see an alternate to Hand of Gul'dan, though.
I'm amazed by people still rating eggs as bad cards lol. We had like TWO YEARS of metas were at least there is a deck with eggs that is bonkers.
This in a zoolock in standard is pretty good. For discards being viable in Standard, we need at least two more cards with discard synergies. In wild, it's disgusting with Reckless Diretroll or Shriek (although Shriek won't see play, but just wanted to mention it).
Discolock doesn't even take highrolls to overperform right now in Wild.
There is a reason it is the top deck of the top class with a nearly 70% win percentage on HSreplay.
When you can consistently turn the "drawback" of discarding your cards into a bonus, there is effectively no drawback at all.
IMO this is the best card we've seen revealed yet and I'm not looking forward to it going live.
Discolock was 'bout 18% of my total Diamond > Legend matchups on the Wild ladder this season and I expect it will get even more overrepresented come August.
I wouldn’t say the deck had that high of a winrate, it’s a popular deck because it’s surprisingly fun and because it’s extremely cheap to build.
