Is this a legendary? LOL An obvious legendary filler...
What's going on with this, Blizzard? Legendary cards are progressively being devalued and increasingly insubstantial. They are less... legendary!
My proposal for fixing this "legendary":
This card feels quite bad... Once your hand is full as Warlock, youre either already winning, or you want to stabilize. This card achieves neither. The only thing I think it could help is swing turns where you pump a board full of big minions and hope it doesnt get easily cleared
Good with Felosophy
Is it? After you play the first one, the second no longer costs (1), i suppose you could wait till next turn or draw some cards.
why blizz and allie didn't reveal?!
edit: oh i found out...
Blizz I don't know, Allie is protesting against something.
This seems pretty bad, unlike Priest, Warlock can’t generate a full hand out of nowhere and suddenly play this guy. I feel like he should have had lifesteal or something else like rush to swing the board back after the Warlock spends their life and mana to fill their hand while doing nothing on the board
Warlock does have Backfire, Free Admission, Raise Dead and of course the hero power, so it is not that hard to get a full hand. The main problem is that the pay-off isn't particularly good because of the 6 health and lack of keywords.
Not to mention that if you run a lot (or only) demon minions, Free Admission can make this a (4) 8/6. Takes some lucky draw to do that, but when it does a turn four 8/6 demon isn’t bad at all.
For Even Lock in Wild it could be a decent addition to go along with Mountain Giants and Molten Giants too!
Do you know what Warlock's hero power does?
Can't wait to pull that out of my first pack as one of my few legendaries... He and Serena Bloodfeather can hold hands while they gather dust on my collection.
I found a use for Serena once: as a decoy in the "Battle of the Bans" Tavern Brawl. I guess people didn't trust it and banned it out of an abundance of caution, while I just put it in there because I needed a backup minion.
It says a lot though that the card was most useful when it didn't see play.
I don't have high hopes for this without any keywords but who knows, an 8/6 for 1 might be okay on its own
Cool common card effect!
You guys don't understand the pure flavor of this sweet Legendary. The guy is sitting there hidden as a Stormwind Guard and when the crowd is full then BAM! A huge Demon in the middle of the city was infiltrating it all the time! So I love the flavor. And balance-wise it's a cheaper version of Mountain Giant, as well as a reasonable statline by itself, although i handlock the Giant is more flexible. Not too special, but honestly not too bad.
I mean that’s a cool explanation for it, but it also needs to stand on its own as a… you know, good card, and hopefully somewhat interesting. I just wish the thing had taunt or something, as has been mentioned.
Basically you uninteractively highroll or this card is garbage dogshit. Ccool card.
did they just release a card for Even warlock? or is there some other support coming? cause for standard this card without rush or taunt isnt very strong or fast to attain a full hand
So I actually ran some simulations in my head and in almost all currently existing matchups this is basically trash.
Best case scenario is you go second, tap on two , then tap on three and play this. That's the fastest you can drop it and the ideal scenario (later on he's just kind of....there).
Against Shaman they can use this time to drop a Vapor on 1, a Custodian on 2, and Whackhammer on 3, which means they not only have more than enough stuff to kill this instantly, but also keep developing their board
Against DH it'S eveen worse because they drop Boar and Beastmaster on curve and trade into this without giviing up tempo.
Priest obviously has SW:D as well as just double Holy Smite or Holy Smite + Plague.
Control Warrior can armor + shieldslam or activate Coerce if need be.
It'S only a 6-drop so it's garbage into Devolving missiles (and dies to Fireball)
Even fucking Druid can just double tap this with Lunar Eclipse.
This is supposed to be a legendary enabler for Handlock and it is significantly worse than Mountain Giant, which, despite how OP that one was, is kind of pathetic.
It literally could have been saved by adding a keyword, ANY KEYWORD, but no. They couldn't even make it cost 0. Idk, maybe there's some really sick demon synergy yet to come, but I doubt it. Guess Warlock remains in the dumpster because all they're allowed to do is scam Control decks.
more than half of your "answers" involve 2-for-1ing yourself lmao.
