Started playing Starcraft 2 again over the weekend and fun fact, Baneling Barrage is one of Zagara's abilities in Co-op mode
I dislike the design of Mutalisk. It only works if you have Creep Tumor activated, but it's impossible it survives otherwise. 3/6, 4/5 or 4/4 would've been better statlines, IMO.
I think it makes sense thematically as Mutalisks in SC2 would deal big damage but effectively glass cannons as they were very squishy. 2 Thor units would wipe out my horde of Mutalisks immediately
I see what you mean but it's such a strong effect I see why they gave it bad stats. Demon Hunter also has more than just creep Tumor to give it rush so it's not just dead without Tumor.
I also like Lurker a lot. While it has Zerg synergies it's the card that works best outside of the Zerg faction. I wish more of the cards in this set were generically good but I understand why they made it so parasitic design wise.
Excited to see what warlock* gets, but right now if I go Zerg I think I need to Baneling people! :)
*Edit: Interesting how defensive Warlock went. Not what I expected. I do love deathrattle locations though, that's a cool design.
Wording on the Demon Hunter cards is so weird.
I've never been a fan of using parentheses for conditional effects because it looks so unnatural.
As a Zerg main, I'm loving all these flavorful cards. Really hope we get a Mutalisk minion, let's guess that it does "Battlecry: Deal x damage to a minion and an adjacent minion"
Close enough for ya? hehe While it doesn't have a Battlecry, it has the neighbor effect you were guessing. It can even go face while not going face :D
Knew it would have something to do with neighbor minions :D the Mutalisks glaive attack would bounce to other units and was so strong in SC2, would wipe out an army of Marines in seconds :D
