Has anyone beaten the Plaguelord of Death on Heroic? His combination of healing, minion-killing deathrattles, taunt, and resurrect effects make it seem impossible to get at him. I'd love a suggestion for which hero might actually work, and what type of broken synergy to aim for.
Looks very interesting. While it seems slow, I think this can be pretty decent. It's not instant, but it does have decent synergy with some of other Priest cards like Shadowy Figure or Psychopomp. Also a decently nice Deathrattle for Da Undatakah - not that it breaks that card, but it's something to note nonetheless.
Should see play in Dragon decks, as their shell seems pretty decent with all new removal, their Galakrond and some cards from the previous year like Wyrmguard. They should be theoretically able to keep quite a lot of boards in check, perhaps they could take a slight Deathrattle approach for this card and previously mentioned ones.
it seems that people here don't play the game, NOBODY plays thekal, this card is good ONLY for combo decks, most combo decks has limited burst so when you're opponent is at certain health treshhold you lost the game, this is good only there, isnt good for aggro decks or good to counter thekal
(PS.: There will be at least one troll doing exactly that, and probably would backfire more than anything but... I'm gonna try it if I get this little a-hole)
After years, finally! But right now, it's really necessary? Odd Warrior doesn't even exists anymore, armor druid is almost irrelevant in meta, but at least they printed this.
I never thought I would see a card like this one. I guess old CW is finally dead. I wish we had this against infinite Kun druid too but oh well.
They seem to be printing cards that also affect wild now, since last expansion, and that's great; the main example would be the new taunt that summons 1-drops for the opponent, everyone will want to run that against priest.
At worst it's a 6 mana 5/5 Battleycry "Give Priority targets to your opponent", if the opponent clears the eggs, or silence them or even kill them it would have fullfilled it's role.
At best it's a 6 mana 13/13 and that's op af... but it has a costly requirement, so that's okish.
r/customhearthstone on suicide watch, never thought they would print this card.
But even if control warrior is popular can you even afford to run this in a super aggro deck or in a combo deck like holy wrath paladin, maly druid I dont think so. Imo its a better tech card for warrior mirrors than aggro decks.
Imo its really powerful card but only few decks afford to run this like reno mage, quest shaman vs. which don't have much problem against control warrior anyways. There could be a future control meta where this card might reign supreme but after seeing warrior Galakrond I'm not holding my breath for such meta.
Without escalating the argument I do have to agree with the other comments in the fact that this card is a tech card which will likely see fringe play. Tech cards are necessary in order to provide checks for game mechanics which could grow out of control similar to how secrets are countered by secret tech cards. These tech cards are rarely used, especially in aggro decks and if anything this validates other control decks by giving classes without armor gain the option to tech this card in their deck to compete with armor gain control classes such as control warrior which otherwise would have invalidated attempts to create control decks with classes such as rogue. Overall the card seems interesting and although I don’t believe it will see much play I can’t wait to see how the meta shifts and uses this card to counter popular decks or how the card shifts out of the meta because of the lack of armor gain in top tier decks.

This card can be scarry... if any op deathrattle will be released in this set or in next one, this card can tutor and mimic it's effect
HALP!!!!!

New Druid Minion - Emerald Explorer
Good Arena boost for Druid indeed...
New Card Reveal - Platebreaker (ARMOR DESTRUCTION)
I think this is great. Armor has become a more "neutral" mechanic with every class having access to it and now finally counters to it.
The thousand armor warriors are the real design flaw
DoD Quest Paladin (Theorycraft)
Interesting idea, Dread Raven and Bad Luck Albatross could be a headache and snowball the game, but i think that Sathrovarr and Camouflaged Dirigible does not fit in the deck, what are their porpose?
New Paladin Minion - Bronze Explorer
good if you get it from random effects 2/5

4/5
New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin
pretty good effect and it comes with a nice body ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
DoD Highlander Malygos Druid
Yeah wanted to use it as a nomi but I guess that's a pretty slow play so I might change it
New Warrior Minion - EVIL Quartermaster
meh, unless Warrior get some lackey synergy
New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin
I wonder what the rouge 1 cost spells are?
New Neutral Minion - Platebreaker (Armor Destruction)
Whoot - it's getting tech up in here!

Great card - getting a little scared of Paladin

It stands for "no life", not "never lucky" (which I associate more with Forsen).

Battlecry shaman, playing this just for fun.
Played Shudderwock last turn.
Get Banderswock this turn.
Profit.

Meh, weak and boring.

Arena filler and possible playable in quest mage.

because you enjoy decks that win just by having more health than the opponent has damage?

ResidentSleeper Warrior actually having to think about a strategy instead of just vomiting removal and ramor...I hope they'll cope with it.
