What do you think about today's Whizbang card reveals?
Comments
DK has a hero card, so that's the top in terms of power level for this class. Unfortunately, not so much for the other cards.
Dr. Stitchensew - How this works is presumably that the 5 cost minion will spawn the 3 cost etc. So essentially this is one extremely sticky minion that will always guarantee something on board at the end of next turn. Ive no real problem with this card other than redundancy, because most DK decks prob dont need stuff like this outside of maybe unholy DK. Just as a comparison point, when Obsidian Revenant was revealed I was pretty hyped because I thought that card was the apex of what can be done with extremely sticky minions, and that card had taunt with a better statline. That card saw zero play.
The one good thing about this card. Its undead and therefore works well with Sinister Soulcage, making it perhaps impossible to ignore.
Rainbow Seamstress - If ever there's a DK card thats blatantly a rainbow rune card without being tagged as such. Its worthless outside of rainbow, the bonus effect is simply not gonna cut it. You can put it in plague DK like some sort of psuedo Restless Mummy, and that's about it. Quite excellent in rainbow DK though Im not sure what you'll remove from that deck to fit this in.
Silk Stitching - Poor card in so many respect that its baffling. Seems like what you get if youre desperate for a discover spell card. Need a target to work, need the target to die before working, and then the spell it cast is targeted at random. How much further downhill can this card go?
Threads of Despair - The best board clear DK might ever receive. A shame that it'll also destroy your side of the board, but this is a 1 mana card that wipes the board most of the time. There's simply no reason this card wouldnt see play in competitive at some point.
Rambunctious Stuffy - The only thing keeping this little pup from ruling the world is the lack of frost spells.
Shambling Zombietank - One of the weirdest cards Ive ever seen printed. Its almost like its entirely here just to spend corpses and yet because it has taunt and the effect is to give you another taunt, you simply cannot deny that in the late game it'll buff up your Climactic Necrotic Explosion and present two taunts to protect your face.
Can just play it in the early game for a 3/2 on board. Though admitably it bricks in the midgame since you'll much rather be saving corpses for Corpse Bride or Malignant Horror
Shambling Zombietankmakes a lot more sense when you look at the handbuff package DK got. Lesser Spinel Spellstone, Amateur Puppeteer and Darkthorn Quilter solidify what i always suspected, that the BBU rune combo is handbuffs and minion copies. Same as UUF is plagues and excavate. You can see the trend from older cards like Blood Tap, Vicious Bloodworm, Nerubian Swarmguard, Malignant Horror, etc. Whether it will work or not, can't say, probably has too little corpse generation. but for a short while the deck was viable i think after Festival miniset when DK got Hollow Hound
Ive played a variation of BBU, even BBF, before which focuses on handbuff. Its okay, but the reason why it could never be anything more than a niche tier 3 deck is because its either too slow, or you run out of stuff too quickly. Not to mention that against control decks its a nightmare, which is why I gave up trying to make the deck work.
Youre right about zombietank being a good add there, because the taunt makes up a bit for the slowness, but Im still not convinced it'll be a deck. Maybe rotation would make it more viable. We'll see.
The Reborn on Rainbow Seamstress is kind of wonky, because none of the keywords stick around after she trades in/dies. That said, the more useful effects for a Handbuff minion (Lifesteal, Rush) are thankfully attached to the Runes that want to Handbuff (Blood, Unholy).
Darkthorn Quilter seems awesome for the deck, too. I could see myself playing this archetype...which is more than I can say for a *lot* of the cards in the expansion.
Didn't expect to see Babyface from Toy Story in this set. Also, I just realized Demon Hunter got a "Spirit of the..." card, but Death Knight, the class that most uses Undead, didn't. Maybe the mini-set.
Thank you so much for pointing this out, I kinda feared it was a reference to that skibidi toilet nonsense
I wonder how Silk Stitching work. it doesn't say the word Deathrattle but that mechanic is obviously a deathrattle so I'm wondering that you can trigger it with deathrattle triggerers or not.
Trial by Fire exists. Probably a good example of how this new card will work without calling out Deathrattle specifically. And other cards in the past have assigned minions a deathrattle. Seems a good bet this new spell also gives the target a deathrattle.
I’m sure this wording was just shorter and easier to comprehend than trying to specifically call out the deathrattle the minion gets. Especially since the exact DR is going to be different depending on what you discover.
Stitchensew: "Mr. Boom, why is there a fuse attached to that Rumbunctious Stuffy?"
Boom: "Oh, don't worry about it, it's just aesthetic. And I told you it's DOCTOR Boom!"
Stitchensew: "And I told you that having a PhD in engineering and robotics doesn't make you a doctor."
Boom: "I don't expect a guy who can't properly explain his own effect to understand etymology."
Stitchensew: "You're one to talk, Mr. 'WARNING: Bots may explode'!"
Boom: "Don't tick me off, Stitchens**t! I'm still mad Rafaam couldn't get Lazul and Togwaggle here for a proper E.V.I.L. reunion. Idiot even convinced me to give up my place in the Core se-HEY! Mr. author of this comment! I feel like you're loosing the plot here!"
"The Hearthstone characters...they're looking right at me...NURSE!"
Madame Lazul is also in core set tho.
Only Tog is missing but seems like he is busy and sent Flik Skyshiv instead. :P
Maybe miniset ?
Yeah, hopefully the mini-set. Like, Togwaggle trying to steal a bunch of toys from the workshop is a neat storyline.
Threads of Despair looks like the DK cousin of Defile: properly set up it could also wipe the board - for 1-Mana less - but it does require some additional checks (the Blood Rune, being able to trade something away to start the chain-reaction, etc.). Being minion-based also means it can interact with Deathrattle, Poisonous, and Lifesteal for extra shenanigans.
Seems fun. It also features a doll vomiting tentacle-threads, which is absolutely horrifying if you think about it lol :/
Missed opportunity not making Dr. Stitchensew an undead version of Dollmaster Dorian, in my opinion.
What was your favorite thumbnail joke of this reveal season?
Did any of them have you dying of laughter?
"Unity, precision, predictions !?" was cool.

It is under Puzzlemaster Khadgar's card page. GJ darkjak !
