    Basically just a worse version of Quest Priest but for everyone.

    Think about it, you not only have to play this, have it die, then find all the other Horsemen and also have them die as well, while they cost 6-mana and are vulnerable to transform effects.

    Best case scenario is you save Kor'thazz for last so you aren't vulnerable to a final silence, and that just seems like a tall order.

    Just for reference, DK Uther Paladin wasn't nearly as difficult to pull off.

    The only comparable thing would be [Hearthstone Card (Rin, the Dark Disciple) Not Found], a card that actually did see play and won games, but only because the meta at the time was incredibly slow and late-game driven and because Warlock had an absolutely nutty set to play off that gave them insane defense and longevity.

     

     

    If you still believe in this, just think about how people were considering the new Bonelord guy as a possibility for some sick OTKs and we haven't seen him being used once ever since...and he just required you to kill him once. THESE GUYS NEED IT 4 TIMES.

     

    In other words, unless there's some insane payoff for killing your own high-cost stuff (like a 1-mana Shadowflame) you're not gonna be able to pull this off in any consistent way.

     

    Also there's probably gonna be an achivement requiring you to do this like 10 times....

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    From De Other Side otk coming!

    That kind of cards use to be memes, but I'm sure that I'll find a realistic way to use it.

    By The Holy Light!

    Its likely to be shit, but its definitely an attrition control buster card. One card, and all those stall games goes to bust unless they can transform one of these dudes.

    Unfortunately, the meta being what it is, I anticipate that this card will largely be a combo card of sorts, rather than actually included as a stall buster. That this card can work with From De Other Side is funny though unrealistic. You can theoretically also do it with Front Lines or Proving Grounds.

    Fortunately, nearly all combo related to this card will likely require this to first die, not easily accomplished in standard. And its a 6 mana card as well that does nothing. But for potential alone, this card is certainly worth consideration.

    Well, in standard it won't be viable, but in wild? Zerek's Cloning Gallery or Flark's Boom-Zooka.

    What's the most powerful card in Hearthstone?

    A credit card.

    Yeah this is gonna be ridiculous in Wild some way some how. Celestial Alignment plus this while gaining stupid armor and draw should do the trick. Kill em with a Deathwing gg

    Slow, clunky and situational. I know people will find ways to make them work, and the possibilities in Wild are already out there, but a slow control'ish device wasn't what this meta needed; doesn't mean they won't find a home, or their time to shine - we'll see!

    Just like Mecha'thun, this card requires a certain setup to win the game consistently. These types of cards are always welcome in my opinion as it creates a whole new archetype or way of winning the game. You don't need to hit your opponent in the face constantly.

    Only downside ofc is that if your horseman get transformed, you instantly loose the game coz your only win con is dead.

    Evolve shaman is running rampant in the meta atm, so might not be a good time just yet to try this type of deck.

    I do like the From De Other Side combo as mentioned above

    Also Luna's Pocket Galaxy. Mage does have Ice Block to stall, but at this point I think you'd rather play Quest Mage and not Reno Rivendare Mage.

    WOW, this is a cool card! From De Other Side, Front Lines and Proving Grounds meta incoming? Probably not. It is cool to see a Uther of the Ebon Blade kinda wincondition for every class though. But it might be a bit too slow, especially because you need to play "6 mana do nothing" multiple times, and even for combos with cards like Front Lines and stuff you first need to draw Rivendare, Warrider and have it die first. And it's really weak to transform AND silence effects.

    This seems way to slow and clunky, but it wont stop me from playing this card a whole lot. I really hope the OTK animation looks awesome! Otherwise it would be a dissapointment. However i feel like it has an awesome animation, considering similar cards like Mecha'thun, the priest questline and the Uther of the Ebon Blade combo have cool animations.

    Oh and in wild i bet you can do a lot of shenanigans with this card. I bet markmckz will have a lot of potential combos with this card. 

    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.

    Already theorycrafted something fun (no, not competitive) for shaman in wild:

    Prescience+ Countess Ashmore to ensure you draw all of them...very fast.

    Torrent + Crushing Hand to kill the first Horseman to avoid silence and polymorph effects

    From De Other Side to win

    However even though it seems like it could be a very fun experience you better hope all the Patchwerks, Dirty Rats and Mutani are either nonexistent or only hit your Piranhas. Oh...and I haven't even told you about the hardest part: stay alive until turn 10.

    Pretty slow in standar, but it can have fun interactions with Elek or Play dead just to fill the board with Knights and mess with the oponnet as they will have to remember wich died before
