Hate it already. It just incentivates people to play aggro. Didn't they say that wanted to avoid mechanics like this? The very first version of Illidan (the current xavius) had an effect where both player discarded their hand and then drew 3, but was considered unfun and got changed. How is this better?
this is a do nothing card.
Holy shit that art is sick! Reminds me of MTG art
I really don't understand the hs community. All card games have some sort of mill\disruption mechanic: in yu-gi-oh, you can put a bunch of cards in your graveyard and go crazy with synergies, in magic you can mill so many cards from your opponent ( and yes, as some comments say there are ways to interact with your graveyard but most decks don't run that type of cards just because). I can dig this type of playstyle (that is basically useless against aggro btw) and i don't even think that people showing that much hate even understand how this game works (or card games in general). Yes, this is a pretty powerful mechanics against control, but totally useless against aggro as we have seen with tickatus warlock against zoo or stealth rogue (those are top tier btw). So please, stop being this dumb and think before you sell this POSSIBLE ( not even certain yet) archetype like doom for hs.
It makes more sense if you consider that the year of the phoenix was so bad it turned away all but the dumbest whales and the people that are remaining are 6000 dollars deep into their cartoon card game gambling addiction and just want new cards for the decks they're already playing
Cause this is hearthstone and you have 30 cards max in deck not 60 like yu-gi-oh or magic (BTW I think 60 for magic is the minimum) . That's why lol
Listen to yourself. That card is super weak againts aggro and powerful againts control. This card can push a rock paper scissors meta, where the game is decided right at the start of the game. Now that is certainly balanced, however it´s in no way fun.
This addiction is ruining me dude, for real. But still, that's true. So i'm expecting people addicted like me to the game (since nax came out) to use their 12.5 iq and understand how exciting can be to have some new toys to play around with. But no, we want to play our weapon on 3 in stealth rogue, and we want to do that with prep and toxin, or else the game is trash. you have ooze? Uninstall this game, is unplayable. oh btw, with the diamond cards even my addiction developed an addiction.
Welcome in card games, where you win\lose often after you see your first hand or even when you encounter a rogue with a control deck with no ooze. In this kind of games is all about matchups and rng with knowledge of the matchup and experience. This card won't change that, like the other 200000000 cards people complained about in the same way. Remember tickatus? "this card is insane, warlock tier1", "they really printed this shiet?", "This card can push a rock paper scissors meta, where the game is decided right at the start of the game.". Again, you guys are wrong, and you will see that like we have seen with tick boy.
Sure, and in magic you pay like, idk, maybe 4 mana to mill 5. We need to pay a 7 mana and then pay another 6 to play an 8\8 with no interaction to mill 5. Oh btw, limit of 10 mana, no mana rock, no land fetching. Yep.
Half of that 60 is almost always land, and most cards are a 4 of inclusion. Its fine if this is your first card game but don't talk shit about HS just because its popular around here.
My point is, that just because a card is balanced doesnt make it good to have in a game. More so if the card is balanced only around rock paper sicissors situation. Mind you I´m not saying this card is strong nor weak. I´m simply saying your argument is wrong.
To be fair, I don't really think the people losing their shit here are necessarily representative of the Hearthstone community at large. The people here are, to a great degree just people that are pissed about an aspect of the game they don't like being permitted by Blizzard and want to make sure people know about it, God dammit.
Isn't this too strong? We'll see
UHM ok dude.
i like disrupt my opponent. And i find it fun. Its fair because in reality is a package that keep in check combo decks. Do you belive that combo decks are fun for EVERYONE? like Everyone just want to go infinite or see other people go infinite? or do similar stuff? No. Not every type of deck is fun for all the people but if you put fun aside you will understand really quickly that disruption is a need in card games.
Yikes. I can see why they waited so long to reveal this. Mechanically useless since mill is no longer viable (and for your own sake don't act like mill Tickatus is a real deck and not a meme), and an epic to boot. Same old hearthstone.
This mf spittin
I think I know why it’s called altar of fire. It’s for people who want to watch the world burn.
OOOOOOHHHH BABYYYYY, I can see the tears falling already, NOMNOMNOM. Tickatus is my god and now we have our altar, this is gonna be a fun HS year KEKW
