Varian Clarifications
Whirthun had a few clarifications to make about Varian Wrynn today.
Varian Wrynn
- If your board is full, Varian puts drawn minions into your hand. If Chromaggus is on board, you'd get a copy of the minion. (Source)
- Minions will be played onto the board if your hand is full. (Source)
- Like all minions summoned to the board, minions brought on by Varian don't activate their battlecries. (Source)
Brawl: The Great Summoner Competition
The ninth tavern brawl is now live, which is identical to week 4's brawl, and we're building our own decks this week.
The design challenge this week is to build a deck primarily with spells, since each time you cast a spell, a random minion of the same mana cost gets summoned. The Value!
If you've created an awesome deck for this brawl, share it using our deckbuilder. Set the deck type to Tavern Brawl and then select the subcategory "The Great Summoner Competition". If you'd like to check out other decks the community has created, you can find them all in this filtered deck search. BRAWL ON!
The Wyrnns arise!
Now Deathwing suddently is 200% better. Dragon Warrior, here I come!
...well, not yet, Alexstrasza's Champion made me wanna play it, but there are not enough dragons to it to become competitive, but I'll surelly have nice 4 AM battles with my friends (aren't those the best days of our lives?).
The problem with Deathwing is: How do you shuffle him back in the deck? You obviously don't want to draw him...
Varian Wrynn is the most OP card ever. A 7/7 & draw 3 cards for 10 mana is already of great value, and if you summon any high-cost minion through the effect, the game ends already.
Exactly what I thought. Sure you don't get battlecries, but most cards you'd want to play anyway with the condition no battlecry and for 0 mana.
What if this card was designed with the Taunt Warrior in mind? A lot of the new released warrior cards have sinergies with taunt. Imagine, against an aggro deck, playing Varian and, out of the 3 cards, it summons a Sludge Belcher and an Unstable Ghoul. It can make the difference.
I didn't get a chance to play this brawl the first time around. Sounds like fun!
I guess it could have been worse brother and sister Mages.
*cries in corner*
it´s a decent card! not worth crying, i´m pretty happy about it!
Remember that arcane missiles can be combo'd with many other cards. So NO TEARS ALLOWED!
Varian:
Control Warrior reaction =
Everyone else's reaction =
Eadric the Pure's reaction: SAFE THE FACE
Eadric Pally is going to be new meta
No more card vote. I think we are about to know the release date.
It only took two months for them to run out of ideas for Tavern Brawl, the feature they thought would be "more fun" for players than tournament mode.
...
Yeah, pretty pathetic. When someone on the forum challenged me "I'd like to see YOU come up with something better" I suggested 10 new ideas they could have done in a matter of minutes.
Here's one: Schizophrenia - at the end of each one of player 2's turns, both players swap hands.
Why does everything have to be 7/7 now?
And why would Varian Wyrnn be a card for Garrosh? They are archenemies... Grom makes sense, the Iron Juggernaut makes sense... Varian does not. Should be an alternate hero, not an ally of his nemesis.
Are you fucking serious? Please tell me you are not that stupid.. What an insanely useless argument
Can't wait till I get my hand on these cards.
MORE RNG in the forum of the goddamn Ram Wrangler. So you could get a free turn 5 Captain's Parrot or a free turn 5 King Crush. Blizzard, fucking cut it out with the absolute RNG. This expansion is looking more luck-dependant than GvG.
