Fantastic animation and flavor. Playability, not so much.
The minion has a very sick animation, but Ra's entrance voice line is a bit underwhelming. Just compare his "Your world is beyond redemption" to "The doom of worlds wakes ONCE MORE!" of The Ancient One. Still though, can't wait to test the dormant interaction.
Mogu Cultist is driving me nuts! It seems so ridiculously hard to pull off. I'm not sure I've found any truly good way to do it, but here are some ideas on how to achieve this. The standard shuffle/draw/bounce package each class has access to is Augmented Elekk + Baleful Banker. With 10 mana, the best you can do is shuffle 4 extra copies (Augmented Elekk + Mogu Cultist + 2x Baleful Banker for 8 mana). Tack on a Youthful Brewmaster and you can start to do this in every class. Here's that, and some other ideas:
Behold, the HS version of the Yu-Gi-Oh Victory Dragon meme!
I think we need more cards to make this work for each class. I have seen some classes getting cards that copy stuff, like warrior, paladin and warlock. I expect all classes will get some way to get this combo working, otherwise why make it a neutral.
But copying is really dangerous and can lead to all kinds of OTK's. So I am really curious where they are heading with this card.
Bwonsamdi, the Dead, can draw all copies of Mogu Cultist if we can shuffle enough copies. It might be slow but works quite well like Tak Nozwhisker. Now I need to find a way to shuffle exactly 7 copies of Mogu Cultists to a priest deck. I guess Baleful Banker + Augmented Elekk or Spirit of the Dead won't be enough.
The problem is also that it's 7 that you need to play. 7 card combos are always hard to achieve, even if they need no setup beforehand.
You guys! If I am reading this right, I think some of you are missing the mechanic here. If you have 6 on board and play the 7th you get Ra. Your turn is not over at that point, so now, how do we copy Ra a couple times in that same turn for the likely OTK?
Mirage Caller in wild but don't know a way in standard yet.
Here is how you do the combo. The only way I can think of that actually works:
But even that requires a lot of setup and you clearing your own board when you could have just played [Hearthstone Card (Mecha'thun) Not Found] or Pogo-Hopper
Yeah but the difference between emptying your deck and hand and being able to play this is quite huge. And pls pogo Hopper? No immediate impact. Not saying this is good but I don't think those are good comparisons at all
clearing your own board is easy for rogue. Daring Escape.
that's not too much set up all you need is 6 or 7 turns to hold toggwaggle's scheme and 5 spaces in hand.
I can also think about Elise the Enlightened and Barista Lynchen theoretically can create enough copies after a few iterations
The Mogu Cultist reveal is pretty disappointing to me because usually when they reveal a card that obviously requires extra support (particularly a neutral card), they reveal something else that will help support it. Recent examples include the simultaneous reveal of Making Mummies and Murmy. Sure, there are some ways you might be able to do this in standard with the tools we know about (Rogue has various shuffle effects, Priest has various duplication effects). It's a cool meme, but it looks basically impossible today, and it would have been nice to see more support come with this.
Easy enough for Rogue. I've played a decent amount of Pogo rogue and I've had 7x in my hand in a lot of occasions. Seems like an alt win condition for the pogo archtype. There are a few more classes that could pull it off in standard but rogue's the obvious current choice. Warlock would be good with Glinda but having her survive a turn is always tough at best.
Oh! It deals 20 damage to each entity, not 20 damage split between all of them. I'm not sure why I assumed the latter. This looks like the sort of card that will have me bent over my computer for hours, trying in vain to refine a deck for it. Lovely.
What if you put this in a Deathrattle-Combo Rogue deck.
With Anka you can make a bunch of very strong deathrattle cards much more effective (Deranged Doctor, Arena Treasure Chest) which might be enough to help you survive until you draw this + Togwaggle's Scheme, at which point you either just shuffle or combine it with Tak to get it into your hand immediately.
You could even tech against Control Warrior by including a second Scheme so after you summon Ra you can shuffle more copies into your deck which means Warrior will take 20 damage every turn which should be enough to kill them eventually.
Will Highkeeper Ra be generated by cards like [Hearthstone Card (Conjurer’s calling?) Not Found]
No.
