This is one of the most interesting cards of the expansion for me. I'm not sure if it will be any good, nor am I even sure if I like it or not, but it's very interesting. I'm guessing the minion could still be Obliterated but there's currently no card that could do it for units that have over 4 Power, I believe.
the unit can also be recalled or hit with purify and datain
I later realized the recalling as well (because surely the can't be anything Ionia can't deal with :P) but yeah the other two work as well. So I'd imagine it's not that playable then, although quite matchup dependent. And I already had started thinking about undying Fioras and stuff...
The only obliterate we have right now are She Who Wanders and Devourer of the Depths, the first one only affects FOLLOWERS, so champions are safe, the second one even if he can target Champions as well, the effect depends on his HP, so you work around it by buffing his target or reducing his own HP to negate his effect.
Purify also only affects FOLLOWERS, so...
Which leaves RECALL mechanics and stuff like Detain.
The most obvious recall is Will of Ionia, but there are others like Minah Swiftfoot, Dragon's Rage, Lee Sin lvl2's own Dragon's rage, and finally Riptide when there is a Nautilus in play.
So unless you are facing ionia most of the time, it should be doable, you can also just run Deny to help stop all the aforementioned counters.
It sounds like a really funny card to run with Fizz and Fiora. It doesn't sound too broken because it does cost 8 Mana but since it's Burst, it could actually be a card.
I was also thinking this could be pretty sick on Fiora if you manage to play it by turn 5 or 6. Will have to experiment with this once I actually get the card (I don't think it's one I'll craft right off the bat).
Does anyone know what happens when you use it on an Ephemeral unit? If it doesn't die, Leveled Up Zed would be pretty funny to play with. Summons an entire board of undying copies.
