Lots of different ways to use this, pretty great utility card. Early game you can use it to force efficient trades, since you can use it to "cheat" out multiple extra attacks. It costs 0 mana so it can combo really easily, and there are some effects that it's quite good with. Also great for triggering Frenzy and similar effects.
Linecracker + Provoke + Charge = ouch.
prey upon is prolly better as a warrior effect. The ability to control who its hit makes it better than any hysteria comparison, also its zero
Its a 0 mana Hysteria before it was nerfed. But since its not a priest card everything is fine, i guess. Weird community.
Not really. Some major differences:
1) Hysteria was nerfed due to a wild combo deck based around forcing one minion to attack 30 times with immune. This doesn't happen with this.
3) Hysteria could be a board wipe on an empty board. This can't. This factor means that Hysteria fits a lot better in a draw-go control shell, which a lot of HS players dislike playing against, due to wanting minion-on-minion interaction.
3) You'll almost certainly lose your minion halfway through unless you have something along the lines of commanding shout. Making it a two card partial boardwipe most of the time.
If you want to compare to anything, I'd look at Shadowflame. Very similar design, with class flavour accounting for the difference.
You are kinda answering a question no one asked. I hate the hysteria nerf because i cant target my own deathrattle minions with it anymore. No one cares about a broken wild combo. An easy fix would have been to make the said card not being targetable by hysteria, or... well nerf that one card no one played next to this "abuse". Again one tool they took away from the priest and gave it to another class. This time to the warrior. Before the nerf i played hysteria even when the enemy had zerro minions on the board.
You said it was like a pre-nerf Hysteria for 0-mana. I was countering by pointing out a) why Hysteria was nerfed (i.e. not for powerlevel reasons, thus a powerlevel argument is right out), and b) the differences between the cards and how they relate to different usage fo said cards. B) is the primary here. They're different cards with different uses, although both fall under the umbrella of "Cheap boardwipe".
You played Hysteria without cards on the opponent's board? So to kill your own deathrattles, proc acolytes etc.? I can see that use, though light on value it could work decently. But... you can't use this if your opp has an empty board (well, you probably can [though I'm not guaranteeng it], just to absoluetly no effect). Thus this isn't a pre-nerf Hysteria. You've just contradicted your original point. This doesn't do the stuff that pre-nerf Hysteria did in a lot of cases. What it does do is a very, very similar job to Shadowflame.
I disagree with the Hysteria nerf, myself, FWIW - don't think it was the best solution to the problem. Really should have changed mechanics of immune, IMO, but Blizz have some wonky coding at times (Lord J getting repentanced for ages, overkill proccing on defence on your turn, and similar).
Commanding Shout hype!
Big Warrior just needs a tanky enough minion.
It's SORT of like giving the minion rush, but you might pull in multiple hits, or less than you'd hope thanks to randomness. At least I assume the attack order is random.
Summon order
Or maybe it's left to right
Very good tool and will actually see play in wild. If it sees play in wild it is broken 5/5
This enables playing Rattlegore while still being able to interact with the board
cool card. 5 stars. easy day 1 golden craft. probably the first nerf of the set.
Infectious Sporeling+Commanding Shout+Provoke=Mass Polymorph
This will shift wild meta.
Add Rancor and you have 7-mana board clear + gain of at least 4 armor.
EDIT: At least 2 armor.
At least 2, as much as 14 -- your own minions won't die, due to the Commanding Shout.
Yeah, my bad, I forgot about that. Thanks for correction.
Its cool, but a 3-card combo mass poly wont shift the wild meta. Warrior already has tools against rez priest.
