Lorewise, dormant is very fitting for Naralex. However, I thought this keyword was tied to Year of the Phoenix?
The first ever dormant minion is from Journey to Ungoro, so I dont see why it should be limited to year of the pheonix.
Sherazin is also situational. It is more about 'Dormant for 2 turns'.
Discover was originally tied to the League of Explorers expansion, doesn't mean that they can't re-use mechanics or allow them to become "evergreen" keywords. At at certain point a keyword or mechanic lends itself to being useful and should be permanently included. (IMO they still technically have inspire in a lot of places but refuse to use the keyword, as a lazy example.
Yeah same goes for Echo and other repeatable cards.
Lifesteal, Rush and Discover are more integrated in the game than situational keywords
I don't care if they do, but this can makes things more spicy in sets to come
The Darkness
The Darkness is not dormant for 2 turns
So dormant for 2 turns is evergreen now?
Weren't the lackeys initally 2 mana 2/2 during early development? Would be cool of some of these designs came from there.
Phew, glad we finally escaped the grasp of Lackeys! [immediately introduces a similar concept]
Lackeys could generate a bunch of random cards, which could both be equally powerful, fun and annoying.
These are a lot simper and straight forward to deal with. What you see is what you get.
Eh, I don't think it's nearly as prevalent or as strong as lackey's Lackeys all had useful battlecries (some super strong like draconic or ethereal). These have slightly better stats (2/2 instead of 1/1) but the power of the lackey was their targeted battlecries, or their discover effects. Adventurers appear to be a purely random scenario, in which case I think the powerlevel is much less than a lackey provides.
Edit: Also just noticed there's no Druid or Priest adventurer representation. Wonder why. I guess they ran out of core mechanics, but still...
