The only corrupt card I actually like the design of so far. You can hold onto it forever as a control deck for a burst of tempo after a big board clear, but if you do that you also risk drawing a 2 mana 2/2 on turn 10. Seems pretty good to me.
This would be so much better if it were a 1-mana 1/1 with the same effect, if only because you could trigger its corruption with the 2-mana libram
Who is playing Libram of Wisdom at 2 mana? You do know once they get discounted they no longer count as 2 mana cards?
deceptively decent, but needs a meta slow enough to get any real value
Maybe it works in a control deck, you buff it to infinity and then you can resummon it with Y'Shaarj, the Defiler
If i'm playing pally, i will probably choose Argent Braggart every time over this one. In any other class is standard Shade of Naxxramas
the question: "whether corrupt works when you've discounted the card itself" is very important in my opinion.
imagine rogue playing this on turn 2, then Shadowstepping it.
if discount corrupt works, that would mean every non-zero cost card will add +1/+1 to this, making this a huge threat.
It's a good question actually, and i'm leaning towards your theory, just because everything else would be non-interactive and deceptive - how would the game telegraph what's the original cost of the card after being discounted?
legendary power level Clutchmother Zavas huge stats for only 2 mana... most of the new released cards are so broken
Your opponent played a 2 Mana 8/8
It was very effective.
It reminds me Shadow of Naxxramas in some way
Maybe also a good card in some possible hand lock with Shadowflames? :/
Shade of Naxxramas is much better in my opinion.
The Shade scales more easily and can be played earlier, but it has to be on the board to scale so there's a risk for it to be removed before it can do so
Dumb question. How would this card interact with The Caverns Below? I could see Rogue repeatedly bouncing this back to their hand to activate the Quest, not to mention Y'saaraj generating the Corrupted Growths at a (0) cost.
It will become a 4/4
Considering the corrupted version seems to be a different card (has different art and text) - similarly to how Spellstones worked - it makes me believe that the stat gains wont be silence-able. Even though its technically a handbuff and those can be silenced normally, because it transforms the card itself, silence probably wont work.
BUT
This minion can be corrupted infinitely. It highly unlikely that they can accomodate this. HS historically had a huge problem "generating" new cards on the fly. That why all the tokens actually pre-exist. Thats why Jades capped at 10/10. The only card I can think of that can essentially generate cards on the spot is Deathstalker Rexxar Zombeast. This makes me wonder if the Horrendous Growth will be also proceduraly generated "on-the-fly" OR if they just slap additional stats on top the 3/3 version. Cos if they do, it will make Horrendous Growth silenceable down to the 3/3 statline while other Corrupt minions will be immune to silence.
Jades capped on 30/30 though
Oh yea, youre right. My bad.... but still capped. So the all the 30 version are actually preexisting and not generated dynamically during the game.
