Can function as board clear. Killing 3 1/3s should not be that difficult if you have any board presence. Though Magtheridon can easily be removed, it is still a large threat for only 4 mana.
Besides, 0 mana destroy a bad 12/12 Legendary isn't much better than 2 mana destroy a bad 12/12 Legendary, which is what Shadow Word: Death is going to be. If you play a stat stick, it'll get hard removed. It's just that the 0 mana one is far more specific.
Though its too early to tell, I don't think Magtheridon is as bad as you say.
It's not a stats stick. I see it more as a combo board clear with a 12/12 body.
For example, on turn 8 you could run this with Hellfire which leaves you a 12/12 body after a board wipe.
I agree that some of the Champions don't exactly fit where they are being placed, but it's just where the Reddit user put them, for lack of a better location. It's not so much speculation of "IF" they'll appear, but more "WHEN" they'll appear. All of the Champions listed already have voice lines recorded that were discovered in the datamine. Unless they scrap what they've already finished they should all show up in the game eventually.
Q: So hoarding packs before major nerfs will be a good dust strat if you have a good collection (Editor notes: This is a comment about the new duplicate rule). A: There's a caveat here: once you receive a card, you'll have it marked for "collected" purposes. So if you disenchant a card you've received, it's still considered "owned." So you can't exploit the refund system that way. There's a great benefit to this though: If you don't like a particular card or class, you can disenchant them and not have to worry about getting them in future packs.
Q: And how long is the card will be marked "collected"? For example, I've opened an epic I don't want so I dust it right away. But if I already collected other epics I would like to have them all again. A: Forever. Once you've collected a card, you've collected it.
I wonder if the "collected" tag is retroactive or will only take effect from March 26 onward.
For example, say I dusted nerfed cards from a few years ago. Are those still marked as collected?
Does the duplication protection work for Golden cards? I keep the good common cards, but DE the bad ones (f2p). If I open packs after march 26, does that mean that every golden common I get are ones I don't have the regular version of?
As I understood it, it does not differentiate between golden and non-golden. If you have 1 golden and 1 non-golden of the same card, from the system's perspective 2 copies have been "collected" and you will not receive any copy again (until the random phase starts). If you have 1 golden and no other copy, you will receive the second which may or may not be golden (RNG).
When you DE a card, it is still "collected" from the system's perspective. Say you have 2 epics, you DE both, you will not receive any more copies of the 2 epics as they have already been collected (up until the random phase).
Lulu is not an ionian champion, I mean.. They could go teemo on her and give her an elaborated back story, but it's more logical for Lee sin to be the pick.
Nocturne is not a shadow isles champion either, he has no links to the shadow isles in any way except he is "spooky" he is also kind of in need of a rework so I think they will wait on him at least a year.
Tham is a demon, not an iconic Blige water champion. Also IIRC fizz isn't either affiliated with the region anymore.
I think on blidgewater we will get the iconic ones first: gp, mf, tf, Graves, illaoi, Pyke.
On Taragon I think we might get all 6 but in 8 months..
So far Corona virus didn't affect Riot's release pipeline in league.. I guess most of them work from home.
If they haven't made it so the card wasn't an auto-win against an opponent who played Lord Jaraxxus then I doubt they will make any changes to Sacrificial Pact ever.
back then, if im not mistaken, there werent any headers on the UI. Only the pack design was the indication aside from the obvious button.
Blizzard offered refunds, so that's all wells that ends well.
But I dont see what this has anything to do with the deckslots confusion. I still remembered that the statement issued out asks players to keep a list of their decks so they can replace their decks (deck codes werent a thing then, I think).
So I just went 6-1 on my Expedition. Not just 6 wins--literally undefeated until game 7. ;-) That's never happened to me before. I've had some good campaigns, some bad campaigns, but even when I'm doing "good" that's more like 60% win rate. I've never had one that was so good that it didn't drop any games--so you can imagine my surprise when I got shut out on the final game.
My deck was basically straight aggro: Draven + Lucian with lots of early game aggro, tons of Noxius 1-2 drops, battlecasters, and 3x brothers bond. It was surprising effective (side note #1: don't neglect your early game when drafting, guys!) Final Boss was a wonky P&Z/Frejlord deck with Anivia + Ashe + 1 other champ (don't exactly remember; he never played any); I was even doing OK until he dropped a Chempunk Shredder on curve (side note #2: when's the last time you've seen one of those played?) which completely cleared my board. From there on, it was an uphill battle with me top-decking and him with card advantage and plenty of good answers. I did manage to get him down to 1-HP and threaten next-turn lethal, but he managed to get me to exactly 0 the round before.
I can't really complain--I imagine my deck seemed like super-cancer to all my previous opponents, plus 6 wins is still pretty good--but that last game just got me. It was my first trial, but I need to take a mental palette cleanser before attempting trial #2 so I thought I'd post here. I hope everyone is doing well!
EDIT: meant 6-1, not 6-0 lol. Sorry; I guess I was more worked up than I thought!
The best thing about Magtheridon is not his stats but that he clears the board when you fulfill the dormancy condition. A 12/12 may look imposing, but there's plenty of ways around turn 4-5 to remove or delay his attack.
The classes most reasonable to expect to run this card is dhunter, rogue, hunter, and warrior because a) they have weapons, dhunter in especially, so destroying 1/3s will be less mana consuming, b) rogue and hunter has no board clear, so it makes sense for them to go the extra mile for it, c) control warrior. There's plenty of AoE but one extra wouldn't hurt. And strictly speaking, its a better AoE than what warrior has.
And I've been seeing how many are expecting warlock to go head first for this card. I personally dont think its viable. Hellfire is already a reasonable AoE in of itself. Using it to trigger an even bigger AoE doesnt make any sense, and takes up two cards. Meaning, if you're forced to use your Hellfires you might be stuck with a card that might as well be a Twisting Nether to begin with. Also, Dark Skies cant be expected to remove the three 1/3 warders. Finally, warlock already has access to the best conditional AoE in Plague of Flames which is infinitely better in my opinion.
This card is kind of hard to evaluate. On one end of things, it is 4 mana dormant your opponent gets a gang of 1/3s. On the other hand, this could easily be a 2 card combo to get a boardclear + a 12/12 on turn 7/8. The payoff is just so huge, but you can't play the card by itself. You need to either already have a board capable of dealing 9 damage and your opponent has to have at most 4 minions (in which case you may not want to clear the board), or you could play a spell like Helfire or Hagathas Scheme to clear the board. I think the card has potential, but only time will tell how good he is.
Been playing this deck for a bit and I am finding it very fun. Not the greatest win rate, but I am not the greatest player either. Overall, a very fun deck. Well done
Well obviously before they change a card they will first have to wait and see how powerful it is. But if this card is only powerful due to a meta with a lot of demons then I say it is fine. This is how Classic cards should be, good in some cases, not so much in others. If a Classic card is good all of the time, then it gets Nerfed/HoFed, if it is bad all of the time then it is just a bad card and people forget about it.
I would be fine if Sacrificial Pact became a powerful card in this meta, but then went back to sorta bad after demons left the meta.
He's dormant by default. My guess is that after he wakes from the 2 turns he goes back to his default. Meaning if your opponent somehow plays the three warders and they get destroyed Magtheridon will wake from dormancy.
Its kinda hard to guess what happens if you put a default dormant minion to sleep again since there's no other card that can put a minion to dormancy before this.
I’d imagine that it’d either be stuck dormant (so Magtheridon himself has a counter for how many warders have been killed), or the warders themselves have a deathrattle along the lines of “if you control no more warders, awaken Magtheridon”
On a completely full board it should probably be stuck dormant though, like how The Darkness is stuck dormant if your opponent has 60 cards in their deck already
Maiev's effect specifically states "for 2 turns." So Maiev's effect applies a 2 turn Dormant state, not a Dormant state with special conditions (ie Warders)
Furthermore, when Magtheridon awakens from a Dormant applied by Maiev Shadowsong, he won't destroy all minions.

Seems okay for control decks. It may not be viable if the right deck doesn't show up.
Magtheridon

You guys are right.
A wait and see approach is best.
Though its too early to tell, I don't think Magtheridon is as bad as you say.
It's not a stats stick. I see it more as a combo board clear with a 12/12 body.
For example, on turn 8 you could run this with Hellfire which leaves you a 12/12 body after a board wipe.
