I'd imagine that they were trying to get the word formatting to layout nicely on the card. The "split randomly" phrasing may have resulted in too much text?

Some of the Colossals also summon a lot of extra minions, so it's certainly possible to infuse the Sire. However, infusing him to OTK level will be a challenge, so maybe this is more of a card that you add to a 40-card deck than a buildaround.

Edit: Any deck that relies on spells to summon tokens will be extra vulnerable to Mutanus, as there will be fewer other minions in hand to act as lightning rods.

Edit2: Actually, 2x Scales and then also Onyxia herself is already 21 minions, plus Druid can combo this with Brann thanks to the Guff hero card, so maybe an OTK is feasible.

My god, it's been 100 season!

While there's no mention, I see a resemblence in the 1st, 50th and 100th design

What’s with the “amongst” wording here? Seems confusing. Why not stick with regular “split randomly” phrasing. HS consistency never fails

Because of the "start of your turn" condition, I fear that Ancient Harbinger will share Moorabi's fate: even when a deck it was designed to support sees play, it won't be in that deck.

Dreadsteed will respawn at the end of the turn: no more Defile chains unfortunately. However, you can use Gruntled Patron with minor setup!

Lol

Defile + Dreadsteed activates up to twenty times...

It's a minion, so Taelan Fordring is still an option and you could use Tuskpiercer to tutor Taelan.

In Wild, Countess Ashmore could be used as a neutral tutor.

Ancient Harbinger: "Why, hello there."

Taelan Fordring: "Not so fast!"

But this is not the day.

Not sure if this will be enough, but Druid has Capture Coldtooth Mine and in the Neutral section we still have Taelan Fordring.

Although there's no Expendable Performers-type of cards anymore, Scale of Onyxia and Flipper Friends seem to be synergistic.

I am probably overestimating this card, but we never thought we would've seen an effect like this (endless scaling damage) in Constructed - Mutanus the Devourer just received another prime meal to consume.

Well we have a tutor in neutral core set

Very strong but you need it in your hand while your minions die. So you need good tutors. Druid anyone? DK got worse way to tutor it but a single spell can summon up to 14 rush minions that die for this card gains 14 dmg with just 1 card.

Mmh… am I seeing things or this card is reeeally good?

Edit: wait, wait, wait - I thought this card would deal damage to ALL enemies (like an AoE) and not randomly split. It's probably still good, but way less broken than I initially imagined it to be.

"C'thun! C'thun!"

C'thun in disguise.

I can see making 1/1 copies of this. A whole hand full.

One day paladin will get good removal

how many minions can a mage get going tho.

Thanks for this article Flux* (just kidding, thanks Aesan ♡). I was just peacefully eating my dinner enjoying this article and by seeing this sentence:

It's curious* that the very first ranked season was dubbed such, and yet here we are 8 years later

I almost choked myself. OMG, is it really that long I´m playing this game? No way, I thought, but yeah, here I am 8 years later indeed XD    I feel old now lol.

My all time precious cardback is Pandaria, although I didn´t earn it myself, I joined the game in the first season but didn´t have a clue about cardbacks back then, so it was the only one I missed since. I was sooo glad when they made it buyable with gold :)

If you have an upgraded Onyxia, you can also try this dragon comp to take advantage of her huge damage versus red taunts.
