![All The Great Dark Beyond Card Reveals for October 12 - Day 2 [Finished]](dark-beyond-reveals-day-2-thumb.webp)
Comments
Aggro overload shaman will like having the extra burn/body. Warlock's legendary on turn 10 can be paired with life tap to put 14/14 on board and a soft taunt.
Soft taunts can't Block lethal tho. And that is 10/18 not 14/14
I'm not saying that the card is bad, dont get me wrong. Just pointed what you missed out.
This card is currently being massively overrated by the community, because as usual people are looking at the card in a vacuum instead of looking at the context of the deck. Just because a card has a good battlecry doesn't mean it's going to be busted in Quest Shaman.
Quest Shaman thrives from having a very low curve. This lets it reliably get onto the board to contest aggressive decks, complete quest in a reasonable timescale (which is important to mitigate the inefficiency of missing turn 1 and a card in your opening hand), and maintain steady pressure for the entire game. 5+ mana slots in Quest Shaman are VERY LIMITED. Why do you think people spent the entire expansion (until the Wild card shenanigans) debating Giggling Inventor -v- Former Champ? It's not because they're similar cards, they have fundamentally different approaches. It's because you cannot fit more than 2-3 5+ cost cards into Quest Shaman without jeopardising its reliability for mindless greed.
And even if you COULD fit more in, you would run further copies of Giggles/Champ rather than this card. Direct damage is all well and good, but the thing about face damage is that it does very little until you actually have lethal. Quest Shaman is fundamentally board-centric in play (albeit primarily wide rather than tall), and sees direct damage as a secondary victory route rather than primary. This is for good reason - you can't rely on face damage unless you're dropping an OTK. Board control can be relied on, and will lead to face damage if applied correctly.
So, yeah, the card is not going to be busted in Quest Shaman. It won't even be PLAYED in Quest Shaman after opening week. Right now, it's a solid value card floating in the ether without a deck that really fits it, because Control Shaman prefers 'em bigger.
idk, people just tend to look at "big numbah" as an indicator of quality...even if it's essentially irrelevant these days.
Big stats + effect are only useful if you can actually use them consistently, which Cumulo can't (at least no by himself in any currently viable deck)
I personally blame Trump for this because he keeps reviewing cards as piles of stats instead of where they actually fit functionally.
The first thing people will notice with Cumulo-Maximus is its synergy with quest, but i also see this as a nice tool for Control Shaman as well. The Warlock dragon seems strong, but slow. That means they are pushing Dragon Warlock in a slow Control direction. Fine by me.
Man I already see Heart of Vir'naal shenanigans with Cumulo-Maximus... Yeah it kinda sucks
Edit: I just read a really well written post above mine and I have to say that I may have made a mistake while evaluating this card. It's better to just see the other Shaman's cards I guess
It's not clear from the text: do you need to be overloaded for at least 5 mana the moment you play the card, or do you need to have been overloaded for 5 mana over the course of the game? If the latter, then it seems like a strong card. If not, then it's useless.
I know WHAT is clear
It's very clear, I think.
If you have at least one active overloaded crystal, when you play this card, you will deal five damage.
The warlock legendary seems very nasty, forces your opponent to trade it if they don't have lethal. I can see this card being played as a "semi taunt" minion.
Nice to see some more Overload synergy.
Cumulo-Maximus would be pretty good in wild even shaman with the overload package. The warlock dragon seems pretty slow but can be very good if it sticks
Edit: Yes i'm stupid, it is 5 mana lul
I'm not entirely sure if it's worth deactivating genn for, seeing as it's a 5 mana card
Ow sh*t i thought warlock dragon would be that card revealed 5 hrs from now..
I don't know if fluffy frosty is too slow or not, maybe T10 frosty + 2 Spirit Bomb is something, maybe not..
You have to be overloaded, or over load that turn, so very least spending 6 mana for the effect. Solid card but has conditions that aren’t always easy to achieve when you want it. I think it is maybe going to see some play but won’t be core I don’t think
It's not like the overload card you played did nothing and also you can play this with Zap!
True. Quest Shaman really only runs 2 overload cards, which are the Underbelly Anglers. Looks like unless they include more overload cards, Quest Shamans will have to be rather strategic in how they play their cards. Lackey could also discover overload spells.
However, I think dealing 20 damage is a bit busted, and not to mention it can be tutored with Sandbinder.
Assuming you mean Sludge Slurper here. And they also run Sandstorm Elemental.
Ouch... you would think one wrong name would lead to 3 downvotes haha. But yeah, if the card is as strong as we predict it is, and control is able to push out aggro decks, people can CUT the Sandstorm Elementals to run it and tutor it so we can deal with control decks. Did you think of that?
Assuming you're kidding due to the last sentence, but to be clear - N'zoth shenanigans notwithstanding, control isn't the side Quest Shaman needs to worry about. You're never going to drop the best anti-aggro card in the deck to add more cards that have a major risk of drawing dead. See my comment further up on why this card isn't good enough for a slot anyway
