People forget that Dragonmaw Scorcher saw a decent amount of play during the first 6 months or so that it was out. and this new one doesn't affect your side of the board.
Step 1: Play Equality
Step 2: play Fluffy Patchwerk
Step 3: rank 1 legend
ha ha yaeh
If Diablo in Duels sticks around, Lord Barov could do the trick.
Too bad its a warlock card eh ;)
5-drop with 8 health is already pretty strong IMO. I feel that this expansion has really high power level.
Guess we're powercreeping Dread Infernal these days.
FWIW I think this is going to be called Horrid Abomination. Basing that on some World of Warcraft data and figured I'd comment here just in case it ends up being right.
The conditions are difficult to accomplish, and while you'll end up with a 30 attack minion at the end of the day it has neither rush nor taunt so at very best this card kills a bunch of tokens and gain somewhere around 7-14 attack against a deck with no counterplay to big minions, like aggro decks.
But more likely than not you'll spend some resources getting those minions to exactly 1 health so this card can shine, and that's a fairly miserable day when your deck is tacitly built around taking advantage of this minion's honor kill. Even if this becomes meta, your opponent will likely just play around this all day to prevent it, and its not exactly difficult.
Warlock really needs to get a card that sets this up, like Lord Barov or Libram of Justice. And then we'll need to be in a meta where board-based decks are at a high percentage.
Wow
