No new spoilers yet?
Mutanus Rogue...
let’s use shadowstep / tenwu...
maybe stunner if we are desperate
And possibly vanessa
and viola... everyone has no minion decks
Terrible. You want to use 2 of your strongest enablers (Tenwu, SS) on something that actually wins you the game
I don'T understand why they want Alignment Druid to be a thing. That deck is the most toxic one-sided BS ever conceived and if it wasn't for the absolutely garbage winrate it would be hated more than Tickatus and Rez Priest combined.
Yeah Alingment if Good is like 5mana pocket galaxy but even mroe extreme and your opoent can absicly do nothing to even try to sotp it.
And the highrolls from the deck can aslo be compeltly insane.
Its druid. Apparently theres some constitutional law in team5 that they must be utterly broken or completely helpless.
Guess its going to be Cult Neophyte or bust once again.
I mean, they like making crap like this. Just look at Tickatus and Rez Priest. Also Mindrender Illucia..
But none of these decks were ever really top tier.
Rez Priest had counters and Tickatus is just a Priest hardcounter and nothing else. Illucia was only printed as a combo counter for Priests so they don't just roll over to decks that OTK them, and it has a terrible winrate on ladder because it is almost useless against anything else.
Meanwhile Alignment is an unironic control killer because no control deck can beat it....at all
My prediction is that Lady Anacondra is going to single-handedly push Celestial Druid over the top. Maybe not in this immediate expansion, but with Druid getting a few better survivability tools, then it is a possibility.
You might be right. since her interaction doesn't have "not less than 1" Celestial Druid can reduce everything to 1 mana, then slap her down next turn so she can use ramp to gain that mana advantage again, since the ramp spells like wild growth, overgrowth and the 6 mana one will all cost (0)
I think Mutanus will shine best in a meta where games go long. You can't eat a weak card if your opponent has played them all.
I dont get why lady anacondra isnt anythign to do with snakes or Beasts of any kind and is just nature spell cost reduction(and is only lege,dary so cant run 2 of them like brukhan)
powerfull but boring effect for legendary, doesnt fit the art or character at all
My Anacondra don’t want none unless you’ve got spells, son!
Mutanus adds a new layer of nastiness to Shudderwock decks. Now it's really gg once the Wock drops.
I have the feeling that "pilgrim" actually translates better to "adventurer", considering the raid theme going on here.
Fluffy Pilgrim doesn't have the same ring to it, isn't it ? :P
I have a feeling that they are sorely mistranslated in general. Wailing Caverns is filled with "Deviate" Snakes and "Deviate" Oozes. Not "fluffy winged".
Yeah MYKE. Fluffy is an Out of Cards tradition, bro! 😉.
fluffy is always used here as an Placeholder name until we get an official translation.
Lol, so the entire internet (myself as well) screamed to the gods that shaman drew like the last piece of trash stuck on the compacter and then team5 overcompensated by practically printing what amounts to Ringmaster Whatley levels of draw power with Primal Dungeoneer. Now I'm absolutely convinced that shaman will be on top, led by burn shaman.
Other cards:
Mutanus the Devourer - It looks really good. But in effect its likely unplayable. You have to first commit to putting this in your deck, then play out something that doesn't affect board tempo for a disruption effect that 90% of the time will never matter in the game. The main problem is that this card costs 7, have no rush or taunt, so its only ever going to be useful in a control deck. Its certainly an option, but its more likely included for the memes rather than the dreams.
Lady anacondra - Very strong in celestial druid, which honestly scares me. You can legit just draw your whole deck out on turn 8 after a Celestial Alignment on 7, then proceed to completely dominate the board while condemning them to 2 cards only the next turn. Very scary card indeed.
Fluffy snake - Its Exotic Mountseller that costs 1 more while removing the rng effect. Probably good, but its fighting for slots in druid.
Fluffy ooze and spell - I like it, but its likely bad.
Devout Dungeoneer - A good card for miracle priest and might actually be what tempo priest need. Nuff said I think.
Frostweave Dungeoneer - Mage is not lacking in draw, but this can tutor out spells like Wildfire in a dedicated deck, while having a chance to annoy the opponent with a freeze minion.
