This card reminds me most of Decimate, but it deals 1 less damage, costs 1 less, and can target units and Landmarks. I’m not sure if discard Aggro wants more Burn than it already has, but this could see a spot there. Other than that, it’s a decent removal card that might be run in EZ decks, but it’s way worse than Gotcha! as removal.
The 3 breakpoint is important in runeterra, it costing 2 more mana and being slow is not really surprising looking as you need to discard for Get Excited! at 3 mana and it's reasonable, besides you don't want to give PnZ too much burn damage (they just did give them another but it's much slower)
It definitely replaces Decimate in burn like cursed parrot said.
I assume this is Viktor's signature spell? you can see his robotic arm in the artwork.
I think it's hard to say if it will replace Decimate in PnZ Nox burn. I think I can see it easier with both of them being run. This card is probably a lot worse in burn than Decimate since this card is basically just -1 damage and costs 1 more than Get Excited! I could see both being run in burn but I can't ever see Decimate being replaced.
Also, I don't believe this is Viktor's Champ spell because they usually reveal it along with the Champion.
Take my words with a grain of salt. I'm unranked and only play casuals lmao.
I think discard aggro is going to stay largely as-is -- many decks are already only running 2x Get Excited!, and the utility of landmark destruction just isn't worth the speed reduction for that aggressive of deck.
I'm still very excited for this card, though: it's going to give some utility which I think P&Z midrange and control decks really need right now, similar to how Scorched Earth has largely replaced Noxian Guillotine.
