i’m scared
7 mana 10/18 taunt rush
double windfury as well!
4 🌟 out of 5🌟
I wonder how it will be translated to russian. Bcuz our straight translation of its name is literally a word Hydra.
Seems flavorful and fun but awkward and probably not super playable. It's not actually 3 mana, because if you run it out on 3 the Rush is sorta wasted on a 1/4 body; you really want to cast it later with a spell as an immediate follow-up. Sure there's High Roll potential to throw it out there turn 3 and then slam a 4-mana spell like Soul of the Forest the following turn to rock opponents for 10, but that feels like the wrong use for this card.
It's sorta sick on say 5 mana with Ironbark as a 4/8 Windfury Rush (that's most of a Walking Fountain!), but Spell Druid wants to keep its minion count low and I don't think this is good enough there. It's also awkward that in the lategame, it nonbos ("not a combo") with Bog Beam and Ironbark Meanwhile in Shaman, it just doesn't fit into current Totem or Evolve decks. Maybe a new archetype emerges, but this doesn't seem strong enough to prop that archetype up alone as a legendary. Probably dust.
Spellburst only works in the turn u play the card.
False. Spellburst appears to trigger on the first spell you cast once that minion is on the board, but it doesn't have to be a spell you cast on the same turn. that you played this minion If that was the case, Goody Two-Shields would do nothing; the design on it is clearly to play it, wait a turn, swing it into something, and then cast a spell to renew the shield.
What is confusing is that it is the FIRST spell, not ALL spells - which is why the guy who talked about using Innervate or Lightning Bloom to ramp into Tree of Life and give this +9/+9 got downvoted to oblivion (the ramp card will give this +0/+0 and consume the Spellburst).
But on this minion it might as well only work the turn you play the card, because if you try to play Curvestone with it you will be wasting the Rush.
Will Oaken Summons trigger the spellburst if it pulls it out?
Interesting question but I would say no.
I would think that spellburst will look for a spell that is put on the stack in comparison to Oaken Summons resolving on the stack. But how knows with small indie companies.
Yeah I think you are right. The articles about Spellburst describe it as a "After a spell is cast" trigger, which means that the spell has to have already "resolved" so to speak to trigger it. It's the same reason that Wild Pyromancer kills everyone with Equality instead of dealing them a useless 1 damage before they're all set to 1 anyways.
Very nice card.
Speaker Gidra->Lightning Bloom->Tree of Life->Fuuuuu!
Gains +0/+0 from casting Lightning Bloom, sadly I was thinking the same thing with Survival of the Fittest with some mana generation but doesnt work.
the pepega play of the year
So she gains +0/+0 and everyone returns to full health. Got it.
Most people obviously don't.:-D (atm -7)
This + spell + Guardian Augmerchant=
i‘m getting wet... such a nice card
