The new Combo Legendary. Put in all swarmy Illidari Cards + Blood Heralds and Big Demons (Imprisoned Antaen+Fel Summoner+Priestess of Fury+Felosophy) and you have a neat Value generator. Only viable vs. pure control so they run out of hard removals. Useless vs. Aggro. It's about filling the board with big stuff midgame and this helps keeping up the pressure. It's basically 2x Felosophy attached to a minion. 2x Nethrandamus are kinda hard to deal with if you play control with low damage board clears.
(Not so) bold prediction, but this actually wont see play, all DH cares for is pure Face Dmg output, they'd never go as far as try to play the Value / Controlish Game.
But to compensate, the other DH legendary is waaaay too strong already.
It's basically Elise the Enlightened but with less value
Quite right. Similar to how Skull of Gul'dan plays off the concept of Nourish.
Demon Hunters Minions
If they aren’t Rushing or Smorcing, they’re generating things that do.
I don't think this is great at the moment with the pool of cards DH has, but now that it exists we have to be vigilant. This can open up a lot of combo shenanigans if DH ever gets the right cards.
DH is so tempo heavy that they could float a value card like this, but then you gotta ask do they need it?
cool card, but i don't know if curent DH decks wants this when they already have enough card draw to justify playing Zai
the other card that draw one and cand give +4 attack is better
Best artwork so far :)
Yeah... I think this too slow most of the time. The best thing I can think of is Lorekeeper combos, so you can rig you skulls to draw this and altruis. Having two discounted copies of altruis seems like it could do some disgusting stuff. Combo-ing with skull in general is probably the best route since you can double dip on the discount and you can often play at least one high impact thing along side this to make up the tempo loss.
Duplicating bladed lady sounds cool, but then you either have to make a garbage tempo play, or somehow get you attack to 6 and still have enough mana for the ladies. Yeah, this card is slow.
Certainly has some combo potential, if you can copy a discounted Il'gynoth
Or a discounted Mo'arg Artificer which you can then potentially copy again with a copied Felosophy
I don't see it as broken, but certainly will be somewhat easier to get multiples of a certain card, instead of straight up draw.
Lifesteal OTK via either spells or blades might not be the main meta deck but it has some more enablers via this.
Good point about moarg. With the life steal minion you could do some serious face damage
Why would you want to copy Il'gynoth, discounted or not? I mean, I guess it's nice to have two copies of a given Legendary, but it's not like his effect would change if there were two of him on the board.
Lol this smells like another Glide, people crying about it being broken and not being played even in a single deck. This goes in a Highlander and in Control DH for extra value. Depending of the followups we’ll see if it works. The effect is ok I guess, but stats seem garbage.
that could be, but as far as i see no one is calling this broken, is a good utility ard, but no more than that, if i openit ill try it for sure in a slow dh deck
I agree, tempo-wise this is a 5 mana 5/3 do nothing
Literally in the comment bellow someone said this is the strongest card of the set right now lol.
Yes, this is a 5/3. It's pretty bad in tempo. I mean, Elise had a stronger effect (with a bigger restriction though) and was never used except for meme decks.
My thoughts are that it'll not be used for like one expansion more, when all pieces for control DH come together.
more like a 5 mana 5/3 draw 2
yeah but one only comment, against the horde of people that cried out that glide was insane and an insta nerf, i think both cards aren even close to have the same hype
this is already stronger than any other legendary they showed except of coruse the other DH legendary, they just dont want this class' winrate drop below 70% under any circumstances
