Ah, there's deathrattles handed out rather than innate this time.
This seems quite good alongside a bunch of the revealed shaman cards. Imagine turn 1 Scourge Troll and turn 2 Deathweaver Aura onto the Scourge Troll. That seems quite good. And of course Infectious Ghouls deathrattle can also spiral out of control if it lands onto Scourge Troll. Of course the problem with this card is that it does need other cards, otherwise its just a 1/3 with no effect. But doubling deathrattles often been quite good. Which is why i think this has a lot of potential.
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.
Broken and will probably be nerfed within two weeks to 2-health.
Combined with Deathweaver Aura it makes Implock look like a COntrol deck by comparison
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I love that card design.
It synergize with a lot of old shaman which hardly saw play until now.
It's an synergistic undead card.
It has anti-synergy with shaman's evolve trope (which I despise).
It's not that easy to abuse : it needs to die to give its payoff, which either require your opponent's "cooperation", or to spend your own ressource onto. And it's hard countered by silence and polymorph effect.
Just starting with the statline alone, this is bound to see play as a good 1 drops, then the fact that it doubles deathrattle effect(s) put on it makes it even more likely to shine. Not a fan of that last Shaman's batch of cards, but I can see how this guy will be used
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Deathrattle Undead Aggro Shaman, let's goooooo!
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
At first glance the card is broken as hell with cards like Deathweaver Aura, but on closer inspection, maybe not.
The main problem I have (thus far) with this card is that it only really works with one thing, which is the aforementioned aura, but outside of that this is just a 1/3 that does nothing. Its very likely shaman will have a deathrattle trigger, or another deathrattle granter, which may make this card substantially better.
If shaman gets no follow up options from this, I just dont see this doing more than winning against the odd board aggro deck, because from what Ive seen only druid truly struggles handling this exact combo.
Well this epic will and can only be played in one archetype. The undead minion tribe won't benefit Shaman that much outside this expansion and I'll keep coming back to The Scourge which I'm assuming will summon random undead from any class right? Ofc one of the worst undead to summon ofc and it'll be useless to most other classes if randomly generated.
Will only see play if this Deathrattle Shaman is viable.
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
There aren't a lot of cards that give deathrattles to other minions, but Rotgill with this so your board gets buffed by +2/+2 should be really nice.
Waiting to see the crazy combo potential coming from this one!
