I will bet 100$ donated to the charity of Fluxflashors choice that during the Year of the Dragon this card will create a powerful OTK deck that is played to Legend on the standard ladder.
the worst card in HS..
I mean... there are hardly any ways to summon three Obelisks in Standard with only Priest being somewhat competent in that task with cards like Vivid Nightmare and Power Word: Replicate. In wild, it opens up a bit thanks to cards like Carnivorous Cube.
It's still very hard to pull off, and most decks should have a way to destroy at least one Obelisk by the time you pull off the combo. But 5 damage to random enemies looks fine, and maybe that is the intent of this card - to not go for crazy OTK shenanigans, but to possibly get some board control for at least one more turn.
EDIT: Following SoU launch, Warrior could also pull off the combo as soon as turn six even. Just play Obelisk on curve, pray it doesn't die, play Inner Rage on it and play two copies of the new Warrior epic minion - there you go.
If someone pulls this off in Arena, I can die in peace :D
This card is seemingly slow and requires quite a setup to be functioning, but I don't doubt someone's going to weaponize those Obelisk into something great. Can't wait to see more cards from the set to see if its going to be useful now, or only in a couple expansions from now ; Only time will tell.
There's a reason why this card is an Epic. Sometimes, Blizzard wants to give you 100 Dust without having to think too much about it. Thanks, Blizzard!
Keep in mind that if you have 3 of these, each one will trigger and deal 5 damage. so if you have four of them, you will deal 20 damage to random enemies.
but for 5 mana, getting 3 or more of them out requires too much setup and after you do all that work to get them all out you might as well have played a just as convoluted combo that can actually kill your opponent.
IDC that this isn't very good. Would folks honestly rather this be a vanilla-stat minion with a weak ability that will never see play, like most other cards? At least it's interesting.
Yes, I would genuinely rather have a vanilla minion. Having a diverse minion pool makes Arena interesting. This card will have to be banned from Arena it's so terrible.
So bad and it's epic.. Are they sadic???
It should have been a Mech, at least it would have had a purpose in nerfing Warrior a little.
If it was a mech it can still be magnetised. Also, a stone pillar doesn't really qualify the "mech" tag.
Wonder why they found that this card is too strong at 4 mana, or how they landed on having 3 copies of this before it does a weakened ragnaros effect.
Seems too much of a meme card, as a poster above said, it's easier to replicate leeroy. Unless there is a card that duplicates 0 attack cards easily.
I think just for the animation, its worth to pull the combo off. But from that aside, its not viable, and if its even playable, there are way more competent OTK combos than that.
The animation should be soo cool, the obelisks pulsing, channeling energy and than fire at once-or not . But it is something i really want to spectate.
15 mana to deal 5 damage to a random enemy
M E T A D E F I N I N G
Edit: nvm, each of them procs, still bad tho
This card wasn't on the schedule list, so I was really hoping it's a joke. And it is. On us. Just wow. Missing the ragers.
Whenever I see a terrible epic like this, I just know I'll be opening 5 copies on launch day.
One question: If you control 3 of these, is the effect applied 3 times (one for each), or only one time?
3 times
Too unreliable to put any Combo effort on this thing.
Also, why epic?
