Given that this only gives one concoction per turn, I think you have a much less chance of getting a Mixed Concoction with all three effects than with Potionmaster Putricide, but then, this is an epic, while the other is a legendary. And since you can have two of this in a deck, there's always the option of speeding thing up by playing both. It didn't occur to me when commenting on Putricide, but I guess I shouldn't be assuming you will get a unique concoction each time until you have all three. I guess any two mixed together for 3 mana is still good though. Maybe even one by itself, and given that I doubt the same kind can mix together, you might end up stuck with just one pretty often.
Well, much like Relics or DH and even Quest rogue with all the SI7 cards, this will only see play if the whole concoction archetype is any good. Least it's a continuous effect for more value if not removed. Definitely one of those cards where you just evaluate the whole concoction archetype altogether.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Absolutely, it has to be played as a full package, or no one will even bother. Could also give some alternative play in game mode like Arena, but for constructed, it depends on the general powerlevel of the deck. Are concoctions good enough to be a viable option for Rogue?
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
So this card is only good in the concoction package, otherwise its just not great. It doesnt have the greatest stats, and it costs the same amount of mana as a concoction. So if you have a mixed concoction in hand, and this card i'm pretty sure that you want to play the concoction instead. (most of the time) I feel like this is too slow, unlike the other concoction cards.
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.
Probably fairly good if you can protect it, but can you?
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Probably useless. Because Potion Belt completely renders this card redundant. And if that isn't painful enough, even Concoctor makes more sense than this card.
Unless youre going full concoctions this card is just a pass, a massive shit that needs flushing.
Probably just sees enough play to round off Concoctor, Potion Belt, and Ghoulish Alchemist. Of the four though, it does feel the weakest, with a mediocre statline and slow generation.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Decent stats, and the concoctions seem to be pretty good. Hoping this will take off as an archetype!
