Good lord. Well, embiggen druid, your rogue menacing days are...OVER!

Conditional Sap on a stick and cheaper too

I’d argue Hunter would have more trouble using the card well, given that their board clears generally aren’t good enough to be run on their own.

Damage dealt by enemy spells and to friendly minions seems to be increased too, so a bit of a risky card.

The disrespect... My boy Xavius deserved better than this...

Well that's boring. I was hoping they'd at least rework the card seeing how it's....you know....utter garbage and useless in just about every circumstance.

Also a shame they're going to waste a cool character on such a weak effect. At least buff the guy so there's a reason to play him.

Agreed. Got excited from the title that he might be getting a new effect... I've never d/e him because he looks rad, but also never played him in a real deck

Move aside, secret mage.

card seems to be a bit risky, because seems like it ia not only enemies that get extra damage but friendly minions too, and not your spells but all of the spells.

Why not just HOF the card and give everyone 1600 dust :) the card sucks and now another character will suffer the fate of a 6 mana 7/5 awkward token generator nobody plays.

"Move over Illidan, you've held on to that seat long enough" said a menacing Xavius, either unmoved or unaware of Illidan's long, wide smirk. As Xavius takes the demon hunter's place, he wonders in his mind "why is everyone around me grinning and hiding laughter?

Maybe there's a part in the story where team5 reveals a Xavius that doesnt suck.

Okay, another good board control card, I really hope we'll get some decent replacement for leeroy and the draw cards we lost, or the game might get a tad boring.

They might still make a xavius interaction

They'll have to change quite a lot. The name and artwork obviously, but also the tokens (why would Xavius summon Flame of Azzinoth?), voice lines and Illidan's fantastic entrance animation. Unlike a lot of people I actually quite like the Illidan card, but I'm sure everyone will agree it's post-Legion entrance is one of the best and a shame to lose.

I’d argue Hunter would have more trouble using the card well, given that their board clears generally aren’t good enough to be run on their own. It’s not too often that a nice combo is enough to make a card playable.

Could see most Classes absolutely loving this card though, could get some really big board clears from some spells

Well that's pretty big.

Not entirely sure it's worth the effor tthough. Spending 5-mana to do nothing for 2 turns is a big investment, especially for a class that seeminglyy wins off tempo alone (and is vulnerable to taking damage). Furthermore it targets ALL enemies, meaning it doesn't really work as a comeback boardclear (and rarely will function as a finisher)

This whole dormant mechanic seems way too slow unless they release some neutral support that allows you to awaken them sooner.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I believe this will be an auto include in any deck running spell-based removal above the 2-damage mark.

Mage loves it

Druid adores it

Warlock just orgasmed at the thought of an 8-damage Nether Breath

In fact, the only classes who can'T reallly use it as well are Warrior and Paladin and even those have some useful spells.

Thanks to the new protection rule I'M probably gonna craft these guys before even opening packs.

There’s some cool submissions so far. I’m hoping to give some feedback later today or tomorrow. Also, who do I talk to about next week’s theme?

Anyway, my first idea.

welcome to the Riot school of balancing.

"Let's try this."

"Did you think about it"

"LOLNO"

and then it takes about a month for these to get replaced by the next problem

One change I noticed that wasn't listed here is Unstable Ghoul. The golden version now reads 'Deathrattle: Deal 1 damage to all minions twice' instead of 'Deal 2 damage to all minions'
