in before a bug also hits the players collection and eliminates the copies from them. classic
At a very basic level, Flik Skyshiv seems like a pretty nice card. Comparing to Vilespine Slayer (admittedly not a perfect comparison), for the low cost of one more mana, the combo becomes a battlecry and can now destroy multiple minions, including at least one currently play. Clearly there's a lot of tempo value in just the basic use case.
In addition to just being a perfectly good basic removal/tempo advantage tool, this could have a lot of value against any deck that wants to use Baleful Banker or Sathrovarr (e.g. Shirvallah Paladin).
finally, the much awaited counter to Pogo Hoppers
Does that mean if you target an enemy Flik, would it destroy itself in the process?
presumably
I wonder if destroying a deathrattle minion in a deck will trigger its deathrattle. Guess not, but I don't remember any other cards with same effect.
I would assume it does. Ordinarily, "destroy" means "kill" (if the minion is on the board). e.g. Poison Seeds says "Destroy all minions" and it definitely triggers deathrattles.
One interesting question, though, is what if you play this on a minion that has a "resummon this minion" deathrattle? In that case, I'd assume the minion would be destroyed (along with all other copies), and afterwards, would come back as the only one of its kind.
(Same question applies to reborn minions, actually. I assume the ones on the board are killed but reborn, but the ones in the decks are just thrown away.)
I guess the card you're looking for is Gnomeferatu? Not quite the same. Actually the better comparison is Skulking Geist. In both cases the answer is no.
That moment when the battlecry also implies your own copies of the selected minion :p
In any case, this will definitely see lots of play
Khartut Defender: I am eternal!
Flik Skyshiv: About that....
That's an interesting question though... At the time of a Reborn minion being on board the new version doesn't exist. So this card destroys the existing copies (anywhere) and then does the Reborn trigger after that? Or does the game consider the reborn copy as already existing somewhere? Intuitively it would be the first way
I'm not 100% sure how it works with the Reborn, but I like the idea of HS introducing an exile mechanic (MTG players know the power of exile).
Does this imply graveyard too?
Tempo is insane even on single-target anyway.
And Even Rogue.
Plus a kobold ninja.
Insta-craft.
nope. Since it destroys the copy on board, said minion will always end up in the graveyard
Hah, I wish. Since they're already destroyed in the graveyard it can't exactly 'double destroy' them.
It does give rogue a nice counter to Sn1p-Sn4p warlock boards.
Graveyard still isn't an official thing in HS so probably not
Can't destroy something when it's in the graveyard, so no. They'd have to reword it to be something like "Remove a minion and all copies of it from the game" or similar.
"From the game" sounds like from the entire Hearthstone to me :D That's a card which would see play.
Can you destroy your minion to destroy ones in your opponents deck?
It will destroy it in both decks
