New Cards Revealed
Here are all the new cards revealed in Kibler's reveal.
Kazakus had always seemed too clever a sort to bottle a brew that could do him any harm. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that the originator of the Dragonfire Potion was a dragon himself.
Quote From Cora You Discover and pick 5 treasures and get 2 copies of each. It replaces your deck, and you cannot pick the same treasure twice.
Comments
both Kibler and some people say that if you have no other minions in your deck then this will trigger, but it says on the card that all your minions in your deck have to be dragons for the effect to trigger
so (and please correct me if I'm wrong or show me an example of a similar mechanic on another card) if you don't have any other minions in your deck then none of them are dragons
soooo.... I'd assume the effect won't trigger
and that would also then mean that you have to draw this before you draw all other dragons from your deck which in turn would make this effect kinda wonky at times
edit: ok, now I read the other post with clarification from Cora saying that it will in fact trigger, I guess the only wonky thing here is the wording
Hi Susan
This is a super fun card and I love it, hope I get to play it and enjoy at least 1-2 turns before getting destroyed
I just hope the treasure from Duels mode doesn't bring game breaking bugs just because it was played outside Duels. And I still am not really familiar with Duels treasures as i don't play Duels at all. Hence, I don't see this card will see that much plays, just like the RNG of Deck of Lunacy.
Uhm, Deck of Lunacy was nerfed specifically because it saw too much play in a high winrate deck.
Poor Yorickogos
Something will need to be nerfed here. Lady Prestor will often give multiple Kazakusan. Allowing you to chain this effect multiple times until you win the game.
Just load up Lady Prestor, cheap minions, removal, and draw. Maybe even Lorekeeper Polkelt for consistency.
All cards listed are neutral, and so can be done in any class, with the best being Druid and Warlock for the draw potential.
This deck would rely on getting to Lady Prestor as fast as possible
First, it depends on how many cards are left in your deck when you play Lady Prestor.
Second, the Dragon pool is about to get much larger, so the chances of any particular Dragon are smaller.
Third, you won't know how many Kazakusans you got until you've drawn them.
Fourth, once you play a Kazakusan, you lose any undrawn copies still in your deck (because your deck is now 10 treasures and nothing else).
So are you going to try to play through your whole deck before you play one of the generated Kazakusans? If you're not getting killed, you're going to win the game long before that happens.
In summary, multiple Kazakusans will not be a bigger problem than the first Kazakusan.
So here is my idea:
so do we get 30 treasure cards or only 10 like Archivist Elysiana
5x2 ... you get to discover 5 treasurers and get two copies of each. So yeah, basically like Elysiana.
If you play while your deck only contain dragons, it replaces your deck with treasures from duels. That's what I get from kibler's video.
Strong yes, but impractical, unless you prestor on 6, or...somehow play a no minion deck...hmmmm
Maybe spell mage or druid, with this as the ultimate end game greed card? If you can cheat this out early it might be lights out. Fingers crossed you can never cheat this out early.
Edit: as noted by Suchti0352, it basically works like elysianna. So its discovers the treasure you replace your deck with. That's insane. Now we only have to work out how to get to turn 8 and beyond without dying.
But how does it worrrrrrrrk?
It's basically Archivist Elysiana, but it discovers Duels treasures.
Does it discover treasures? I think it replaces the deck with random treasures.
"You Discover and pick 5 treasures and get 2 copies of each. It replaces your deck, and you cannot pick the same treasure twice."

That's actually disappointing. I was hoping it'd be closer to Arch-Villain Rafaam. It's less chaotic and you'll see less variety in the treasures this way.
Damn, that makes the card even better than I thought.
Thanks for the note
Same as that one 7/7 from Rise of Shadows (?), except with treasures.
This actually works really well with Lady Prestor. Absolutely awesome card in terms of flavor.
