Stalking Shadows is completely broken.
Nocturne is going to need more Nightfall units before he's viable. Right now there are exactly 4 nightfall units in the game, giving a maximum of 12 of them in your deck. This includes Nocturne himself. And I'm not convinced that all three of the followers are even playable, so the actual number of Nightfall allies in deck will likely be smaller than 12, unless they have more Nightfall units that have not been revealed.
Side note: I really wish these game companies would stop using keywords that already exist in other games, but give them different meanings. Eternal has had a Nightfall mechanic in it for years, and it is nothing like this. Similarly, Eternal recently added a mechanic called Plunder to their game (after LoR already had Plunder) and it is not even remotely similar to LoR's Plunder. Sigh. There are a LOT of words in the English language. Can they not pick different ones?
And nightfall is hearthstone combo...
More Mistwraith support is interesting. That'll be a thing now.
It's already a thing right now. I've played it a fair bit; did a 7 win standard gauntlet with it. This burst speed card will make it even better than it already is.
Wow Nocturne is like a better terror of the tides, ideally you want to play units to make use of the -1 leveled up effect. And with all this nightfall, we should have enough draw to maintain our resource. i like it, i think i'll try nocturne with bilgewater, maybe TF could be a handy champ.
Nocturne feels pretty strong, it's already useful before levelling up, and the level up is similar in a way to Ashe's.
The other cards are nice too, especially summoning mistwraiths at burst speed and having a 1 mana cost burst spell perfect for nightfall cards
EDIT: for some reason my brain believed stalking shadows costed 4 mana instead of 2, that card is nuts
So what's the order of summoning in this game? If my Rekindler summons Nautilus, who gets the SpellShield?
On a side-note, purely as a character, Nocture looks AWESOME!
Rekindler first because after he has entered the board Nautilus gets summoned.
Nocturne is just OK, but everything else is bonkers! Burst-speed Mistwraith is terrifying.
You meant fearsome
