so you can play this on a board full of 6 health minions and you wont burn any cards. huh.
This is bad in Zoo because not only you clear your own board, you pass the turn as well, and it's basically a dead card vs non aggro. Look at Hellfire.
You clear your board, then repopulate it with the cheap minions in your hand. You don't have to play this on 4.
If zoo needs to use this on 8-9, then probably the zoo player already lost the game.
Why is everyone talking about how bad this card is for control? Warlocks have other decktypes, and this is a very powerful clear for Zoo, especially since you:
Not every tool is designed for every deck, and not every Warlock deck is a control deck!
The card is contradictory to zoo's gameplan and also control; card's just bad, the demonwrath girl is better if you're going zoo with boardclear
What? Zoo controls the board. This clears the board and destroys your deck. Why would zoo EVER want this.
Missing Corrupt : Destroy your opponents cards instead.
What, you’ve never heard of Soul Fragments? They can get rid of free tokens without destroying their deck at all or at most 1 or 2 cards.
I don't think people in wild will be playing this over Felfire Potion, but this has a niche.
It's an effective card against aggro (being 2 mana cheaper, or 2 more damage than Hellfire), but you don't ever want to play this against another control
I like this paradox design. More value = less resources. Super powerful on curve, but then again, how many minions are there in turn 4 that will be good to kill this way? In late game you'd probably prefer nether or disaster and early flame breather. I see it as a mid range counter. Kill 3 decent minions and lose 3 cards that you won't draw anyway for 4 is sick. For control decks it's awkward to burn a lot of cards unless you have a lot of soul fragments sadly.
I think this card is mediocre
This would only work with a new legendary for warlock similar to Chef Nomi or Mecha'thun, and maybe similar to the new mage legendary Mordresh Fire Eye. Something like:
Sargeras, The Destroyer (call it whatever you want)
Battlecry: If your deck is empty, deal 30 damage to all enemies.
OR
Battlecry: If you discarded or burned 15 cards, deal 30 damage to all enemies.
It will enable Tickatus to also work without the Corrupt, so it would be thematic. And opponent's Tickatus or any mill helps too.
Once you draw the legendary you start burning cards and you win. Could be too OP perhaps, who knows.
Unless they get a mechanic with "destroy" your own cards it is very bad at first glance, for aggro it is bad, for control it is bad
unless you have a wincon in fatigue
Yeah like if you were a Mechathun deck, and then this destroyed your Mechathun combo pieces. Those decks wouldn't touch this card either.
I don't like Tracking for the same reason I don't like this - I don't want to destroy my resources.
Well you will like new tracking then ^^
Picture the cards as those cards at the bottom of your deck when the game is over before you reach them.
Tracking allows you to pick one of them and this one allows you to clear the board.
Of course if you play control or slower decks and will reach fatigue, then you probably wouldn’t play Tracking or this, although there are scenarios where you would want to pull that additional damage or clear the board and win instead of letting your opponent go face another turn, play their combo or topdeck lethal.
It is bad to judge the card this early. There might be another “empty your deck quickly” card like Chef Nomi or a card that replaces your deck like Elysiana.
Or maybe the card is bad because Warlocks have strong control options from previous expansion.
Im guessing this is gonna get some kind of support.
Looks bad now, but in two weeks: meta card.
