He is good with both orcs and demons. The Betrayer is also a master of fel magic, but that spell school doesnt seem very good at the moment. If they add more fel synergy to the game, Gul'dan will be even more versatile.
So as long as orcs, demons or fel magic is relevant, Gul'dan will be relevant. One of the best legendaries IMO.
Fel Bolt is hella slow, but the damage output ramps considerably and requires nothing but the time invested. I also appreciate the Lifesteal-nature of Siphon Life, increasing as the damage goes up. Healing Orcs and Demons could be seen as weird, but I get it. There are 4 other Mercs with Fel abilities, and they're all outside of the Caster Role, so there will be some coverage if you decide to go all-in on Fel synergy. Not a fan of Staff of Chaos requiring an Orc to die, though: your best combination seems to be with Demons for the Fel combos, not with Orcs. Plus you'd rather not have your party die at all...
All-in-all, Gul'dan seems like a powerful unit, just not my preferred brand of Caster.
Staff of Chaos would be pretty op, if you're playing with Jaraxxus and Samuro. Samuro can spawn copies of himself, which dies at the end of the turn and Samuro is a Orc.
This is true: you could gain Fel Damage every-other turn with Samuro's Mirror Image. I don't believe I thought of that; good call :)
"deals 1 more damage"
"deals an additional 1 damage"
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
