I'm actually quite surprised how people aren't seeing this from Flux's point of view. A small amount of empathy should be warranted here. He's the owner of a news site, even if it's for a game. Misinformation damages the reputation of news sites and it wastes staff time.
Yes, Blizzard's fake post is in poor taste but it can also be seen as slapstick humor. This doesn't mean the whole OoC community should gang up on Flux if you don't agree with his opinion. Also view the bad language as being passionate about the subject 🙃
It is what happens when you bring some political judgement here i guess.
I don't think it would have this kind of reaction if there was not that twitter adversion. This is a Card Game News site and we are not here to read this kind of political approaches. If I wanted to, I can easily follow news about Hearthstone from twitter, reddit etc. and then I can't say anything to those platforms because they are not themed around card games but I'm here because this site was used to have plain and simple news without political adversions or any other off-topic criticisms about the games I am playing.
My reaction is all about this else I can sympathize how flux feels about misinformation. Even though It is not my red-line, it is a valid opinion as a news site owner but if this is not a political site or even though it would be one, A news site owner and/or a journalist has to be objective about political stuff while sharing news. You can't share your political judgement as news, it is an unfavorable move for a journalist.
Agreed! While I do appreciate team 5 changing up their reveal schedule to group cards to show whole synergistic packages etc, it is still a lot of cards to keep up with
For all intends and purposes this is just a rez card comparable to Revenge of the Wild, except this is almost twice as good because when it works it puts in a lot of work.
Getting extra corpses, removing a minion, triggering deathrattles/reborn. One card, 3 mana, so many applications. The only reason not to run it is redundancy, in case there are better cards.
This is not the next incarnation of Rager Christ the redeemer. Even if you bring this back with a rez effect, one really has to start questioning the motives here when you can get neptulon, or anything else for that matter, back.
Im sure there's going to be some stupid achievement that forces us to repeatedly raise this card.
Its not like we can't already cheat it out using the same Barbaric Sorceress method as big spell mage. The thing is that if you want to run an unholy deck that focuses on this card you can, but if you want to run a blood deck (which is, I suspect, mostly a control archetype) with it, you can't, because of the 2 rune requirement.
I still think the requirement should be 1 rune, or none at all. The card itself isn't really that good to be honest, because the undead pool is hardly small. So I can't think of many reasons why this should stay a two rune card.
Frost decks would rather just kill you and their spell pool is too good so youre likely never running barbara in it. Certainly not for this card anyway.
I'm pretty excited to try Blood DK deck. Not too jazzed about the new layer of deckbuilding complexity, but seeing how insane some of the DKs cards would be if there wasn't this extra-restrictions/commitment to a rune, things would just be too much out of control - which DK already seem to be!
DK cards are just nuts, or at worse, they are still slightly better than comparable class' cards ; just look at how much this does for its (7) mana... Makes all the other OG classes look silly
I recently stopped playing MD in favor of sims and the physical game, so this update doesnt mean much to me. The entire time I was a MD player though, I remember being so consistently infuriated by the lack of exporting and importing. Such an absurd feature to skip over.
but for an archetype that floods board anyway is there really a reason to even play this?
The answer to your question is in the question. Presuming that the devs were actually thinking this through, making this available to the DK equivalent of big spell Mage may have been a problem. If Frost cheat this out, it both mitigates its disadvantge and gains an advantage that's outside of what it's intended to be able to do. Possibly, just guessing intent.
I think it is depicting a scene from a Wrath of The Lich King ad? I remember seeing one of Arthas in this exact position where he raised a undead dragon.
Ymirjar Deathbringer makes me think that the build challenge for unholy will be trying to get your non-payoff, corpse-setup minions into play and dead before your payoff minions hit.
Unholy looks like an aggro-counter that plays like aggro itself. It so far lacks an unfriendly-fire board clear, so it looks like it relies on the opponent to clear its own minions, which will be a problem against face-healing and freeze control decks.
With Dk's Freeze effects this might stand a chance. It may give you enough time to freeze and infect enemies to give you enough time to the get the deathrattles with some AOE or big taunt. Might be too slow still but I think it has a chance.
Probably shit if Im honest. Comparable to Dendrologist, even in dedicated treant decks. Its just not a good card if you cant just play it on 2 for tempo, and for unholy decks that's a massive deficiency. Will anyone keep this in hand just so it can get value?
Even with the smaller pool, what indeed are we looking for? Nothing specifically curves out from this on turn 3 (because most will need corpses which this does not generate) and theres just better 2 drops. Can't even hope for a second Lord Marrowgar, because the first one takes off all your corpses.
Its main usage is for other rune decks to gain corpses quicker and easier, for the mere inclusion of one unholy rune.
So you play double frost + one unholy, for some board, burn and if you need more corpses you can play this card. Because its a spidertank, you dont lose tempo doing it, and an aggro-burn deck is hardly ever going to miss one card from their deck.
But in unholy decks itself, this is a bust. No way will anyone do this when other better options are available, like Plagued Grain
