I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
... 2 turns in the future?!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
WOW, thats a insane legendary! So basically this removes a board for 2 turns, afterwards it resummons them all kinda like with Secret Passage re-adding cards back into your hand. (Probably including buffs and stuff) The best thing about this card is that it temporarely counters deathrattles, as they do not trigger with similar effects. (*ahem Life Sentence and The Amazing Reno) And on top of that, the minions return during the turn of whoever played Anachronos which is insane! (Your turn if you played Anachronos, which means more time to stall for removal)
I do wonder how the re-summoning works though if there are too many minions on board. There are 2 ways that i can think of this working: something similar to Secret Passage + too many card in hand, and mass-bouncing effects like Vanish.
Imagine if your opponent play a minion within the 2 turns, and they dont have enough board space for all their re-summoned minions. If it works like Secret Passage the right most minion(s) (pre-Anachronos) should be destroyed, while if it works similarly like Vanish, the last played/summoned minion(s) should be destroyed. (No matter where they were on the board)
In the Wronchi video i couldnt really tell which of the 2 was in effect, because you can't really tell where the minions were positioned. It did look like Vanish kinda, but without knowing the exact board positions i dunno. No matter which was in effect, it still is a extremely powerful effect. This question was just in order to prepare myself to play around it.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Damn that card art looks siiiiick!
This dragon could easily slot into multiple archetypes, Control, Pure and (hopefully) a new Kazakusan dragon paladin. Great stall if you need it and Paladin hasn't really had access to transform effects to get rid of annoying deathrattles, so this dragon will be able to fill that roll... for 2 turns.
I also like the Opponent mind games: Should I play more minions now and risk my other minions getting destroyed when they return to the board? Or should I be greedy and play no minions for 2 turns? Guess it depends on the type of deck your opponent is playing but I'm sure more cases, something will die coz the board will be too full.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Its an instant board swing, and for a class thats slow as hell this is almost a near mandatory inclusion into all but aggro decks.
No need to describe how good the card is. Since its a 7 mana card it wont interfere with Order in the Court drawing your cariel. There's just no argument. If you play pally, you craft this card.
7 mana 8/8 as well. That's powercreeping if ever I saw one. Something tells me that they buffed him before launch, because I can imagine this as an 8 drop and it would have sucked hard.
I'm going to assume this means all minions are removed, then get re-summoned two turns later. Probably in the order they were originally played so it's predictable which ones will disappear into the ether if a player played more minions during those turns and they can't all fit. As for how good this is, I'm really struggling to see how this is useful other than you have an 8/8 on an empty board, which probably increases its chance of hitting face at least once.
Punting a board for later is actually the nuts, especially in dealing with Jailer Paladin mirrors.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Quite a fun and unique card, love the flavor of it!
