Battlecry: Draw 1 card. It costs (0). (@)

The enormous creature unfurled terrifying claws dripping with poisonous ichor. King Togwaggle was pleased, but inwardly disappointed the great Nightmare refused to wear the candle.

  • Hero power for this one? 

    • gives a random lackey in hand

  • so the combo is:

    1) Invoke 4 times

    2) Myra's Leeroy Scheme

    3) Galakrond, 4 0 mana Leeroys deadly posion = 31 damage (don't forget fully upgraded Galakron gives a 5/2 weapon)

  • I smell combo shenanigans...

    At the very least we're slowly getting card draw back into Rogue without having to nuke our entire deck.

    Friendly
    • Even if this isn't really scratching the surface of the combo shenanigans, I'm going to play this in a Tempo/Togwaggle Rogue deck, if only because the Invoke/Hero Power and Galakrond's Battlecry could open up for massive Edwin VanCleef or Questing Adventurer turns.

  • 30 Health huh? Savage

    • Staff

      For some reason Blizzard's data insists on 30 Health even though 5 would make more sense in my opinion.

      • Pro

        I guess it makes sense, since it's a hero card, and heroes start at 30 health. I don't see why they don't have different stat boards for different card types though. There are only 4, after all. Spells are listed as having 0 attack and 0 health.
