First of all, like the case with the obelisk I really appreciate the fantasy we can see in the design of this card. Performing some kind of an ancient ritual, where 7 cultists sacrifice their lives, in order to summon a deity, and then a drakkari enchantress steps in, who enhances the power of that god even further. I can't find words to express how fun it is seeing such mechanics in the game.
As far as gameplay goes, I have a hard time believing that this would be easier to activate than Mecha'thun, if we don't see more support for it. Since no one dared to asks questions regarding some mechanics, I would like to ask two:
- How would the cultis's battlecry interact with Heart of Vir'naal? Would we see two deities being summoned or only one, cuz the second battlecry would trigger after the first wave of cultists die.
I disagree there are other answers to stuff like Lucenbark and most decks aren't even running silence right now even though it is really strong against stuff like Mech hunter and paladin. I think their are very interesting cards that are hit way harder than powerful cards that need to be held in check. I also think that silence and transform are very uninteresting ways to handle it though I am not sure what other ways they could do it.
This is somewhat frightening if only because of how powerful the effect is when pulled off
I mean Star Aligner was laughed at and then it terrorized Wild.
I feel like there are ways to make this work semi consistently and I don't like that idea
The reason Star Aligner was a problem was because of Druid's ability to ramp mana and Juicy Psychmelon could tutor your entire combo. Almost nobody plays it now after the nerf to Aviana made Psychmelon inconsistent and Innervate a necessary piece of the combo.
This is significantly harder to pull off, with almost all possibilities requiring multiple turns of setup. The most viable options currently appear to be in Rogue with Togwaggle's Scheme and Tak Nozwhisker or Tolin's Goblet or a Warlock deck with a significant cost reduction from Emperor Thaurissan on Glinda Crowskin and some other combo pieces. Even then its not an OTK unless you use Drakkari Enchanter.
3 card combo: noz + toggwaggle's scheme (7+ shuffles) + this card and at least 5 spaces in hand, next turn you play 7 of this card and win if you chipped 10 damage.. Or just cleared the board, you might run a plan B card like banker.
Very cool! I would love to actually play Glinda, she's one of my most neglected cards. Unfortunately though, she's a magnet for removal, and I can't see her living through turn 7 (in most cases). But I'll certainly try!
It's simple you play barnes it summons blood of the ancient one, you shadow step it and play barnes again to summon the ZANCIENT one you fuuuls now I just need to survive this turn...
Do echo copies in your hand disappear if Glinda Crowskin dies in the middle of your turn? If so you could still do it, but you'd need both Mogu Cultist in hand first.
I would expect the echo copy already in your hand to stick around, just not generate another echo when you play it.
While I do have Glinda in a deck I play, generally if she sticks I try to keep her alive, so I'm not 100% certain of the interaction.
Edit: I tested it and it works as I expected: the echo copy you had in your hand remains, but does not have echo itself.

Another Anka, the Buried maybe ? I'd like to use Shadowstep on Anka to decrease other deathrattles as well. Infinite nerubian loop. lol.
This.
Unless we're talking about single player content when is this ever going to be a feasible plan? Come on.
If you can actually get off multiple Ankas in a game and not be dead I can imagine a million better plays than playing glorified runner-runner Nerubian Eggs. Please stop being silly.
None was talking about that this could be a T1-Deck, don't be silly. And DaneHS already proved that Big Rogue can work.
If you want to spawn 4/4 nerubian tokens from deathrattle minions you can just play Nerubian Egg and the necrium cards. There's no reason to play Anub'Arak because even with the extreme mana cost discount from Anka his deathrattle is severely underwhelming. Find me a big rogue list that runs Anub and I'll show you a list that should cut a card. You're doubling down to defend something that's preposterous on its face. Even in a meme deck there are better cards to include.

- What does a full board mean? May I cheat the requirement with dormant creatures like The Darkness, Lucentbark or Sherazin, Corpse Flower?

hm well current Mage decks don't even run all that many targetted spells

Don't run targetted spells... EZ

If Ra was untargetable it might be worth pulling off. There was a reason the Paladin quest that give you that huge dinosaur was worthless

Wasn't Mai the one who summoned Ra and failed?
Uldum Card Reveal - Mogu Cultist
The visual effect of Highkeeper Ra dealing 20 damages to the enemies are cool!! Looking forward for someone who can pull this combo off.

A super flashy meme card. Looks really cool.
I hope it stays that way though. I can't imagine a meta deck that revolves around this card is fun to play againt.
