This card is very strange. It's a SMOrc card for sure but it doesn't really fit in aggro where everything generally goes face. For that deck, it's just too slow, the minions she pulls too weak.
I feel like this is primarily a Deathrattle synergy card, as well as a card that requires the majority of the deck to be built around her. Has obvious synergy with the new Darkmoon Tonk reveal but as of right now, I don't think there's enough support for it. That can easily change as more cards are revealed.
The big question is, is a Maxima Blastenheimer deck going to be good enough to warrant playing over current hunter archetypes? With what we know as of me writing this, the answer is almost certainly not. She'll need a lot of support to merit running a deck with her over what we already see hunters run.
I'm thinking about a dragon hunter deck with Deathwing, Dragonlord, Plagued Protodrake, and maybe Bone Drake and Deathwing, Dragonlord. Probably fill the rest off the deck with secrets and such.
The potential to high roll on turn 6 is kind of insane.
Oh, my bad. I sure have stipulated I meant for standard. I know next to nothing about what may or may not be viable in Wild. :p
Uh a good substitute for a big deck, just that I just did a mid range deathrattles with eggs and beasts.
cool card but the problem is how are you going to draw this when needed? it's only a legendary, too situational and costly to run a complete setup, likely to be a tier 2 deck.
Is this a buff to both face and deathrattle? It's got potential, let's wait and see.
Update: Tonk synergy! 16 face on empty board!
It's face damage, which means you're an aggro deck, but aggro usually wants cheap minions, which you don't want with the battlecry. The only possibility is some sort of aggro spell hunter, but this ruins the idea of "only spells" in the deck like the old spell hunter.
I dunno, seems awkward. But you know hunter: "If there's aggro, there's a way..."
It combos fairly well with the Darkmoon Tonk revealed today, 8 damage to face and then 8 damage to random enemies from the deathrattle, i'll most likely put both in my wild deathrattle hunter deck
no its doesn't, the chance of pulling that 7 drop is too low to call it a combo and not a high roll
Hunter class identity is to hit face. That's what they do.
But the fact that this summons and kills the minion, and it's random from your deck, means to get the most out of this, you'd want to run big/deathrattle minions, which current hunter doesn't really do.
It will be interesting to see what kind of new decks can be made to make use of this.
If defender has a taunt up this should be forced to hit taunt not the face. Otherwise so bs.
If the face plays Taunt (no no no)
Me still go face (yeah yeah yeah)
And they said Icehowl can't go face!
Maybe she can put Trump in the cannon.
big cringe
looks op in wild if The Darkness attacks the hero before goes dormant
my main question is: Can I load canon with the biggest minion using Lorekeeper Polkelt ?
Good question but I think no, you don't draw it, you summon it.
No, cards that summon from your deck summon a random minion, not the "topmost" one. We'll have to wait and see to know with 100% certainty that Maxima works that way too, but realistically there's no reason why she wouldn't.
it says summon a minion from your deck.
doesnt say it would be RANDOM minion from your deck.
but i still believe its a random minion from your deck.
