WHISPERS of the OLD GODS (wog imo) discussion thread - Page 23 - Hearthstone -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You need that guy to hit 6/6+ a lot for it to be any good. I don't think it's very easy to do that unless you're going to wait to combo it with 6 drops or whatever.

why does it have to be a 6/6 for it to be good. a 4 mana taunt that is above average is a senjin, which is a 3/5. seems like you lose a little bit of value on a 4/4, but it's vv good as a 5/5

Oops, I didn't realize it had taunt.

But in general when he hits it needs to be really strong to make up for the times that it's a dead card and how badly it does vs silence

Exactly my thought as well. Basically just a big fattie taunt with a couple mana discounted. The positive of the mana discount is probably not enough to offset the negative of this card often being unplayable cuz you don't have a fattie to copy.

I guess there's some synergy with buffs potentially.

i could see possibilities to run one in renolock

prob needs more WoG synergy to be a good card.

Probably one of the few cards that would go up tremendously in value if Owl gets a small nerf

the fact its 4 mana is pretty annoying, max can play a 6 mana creature + this in one turn for mega stats

I like it. You can molten then play this to put up a big taunt without needing DoA or sunfury. Think it will see play in a lot of handlock variants .

Also agree with whoever said that effects should be weaker and bodies should be stronger on tech cards. I would have liked kezan to be something like a 4 mana 4/5 destroy up to 3 manas worth of secrets. Doesn't cost you the game when you play it into a war axe on 4. Doesn't auto win you the game when you destroy half a Christmas tree.

I can see the new minion in a warlock variant with power overwhelming or mayyyybe priest after deathlord or velens. Otherwise it's really bad for all other classes since it's never gonna be > senjin on curve.

Undercity Huckster's body is worth like 1 mana and a card. Is the deathrattle worth 1 mana? I dunno, that seems reasonable. I don't know what deck you would actually play it in. Maybe Renolock?

n'zoth deathrattle lock of course.

huckster is basically a slightly less OP dark peddler

ps: nzoth is more insane in wild so many rotated out DRs o.O, still a pretty obvious win condition if you drop sylvanas earlier then get her back free

N'Zoth seems amazing. Fill your entire board up and also have it super resilient to AOE. Your opponent has a short clock to burst you down.

In Wild you run him in a slow Demon zoo with Belchers and Shredders I think.

that card seems busted.

Here's to making deathrattle a theme again.

Cairne/Sylvanas back into the meta potentially then? What other high value deathrattles are there?

N'Zoth in Pally might be the most insane because of Tirion. N'Zoth in Reno Pally is bonkers.

Doesn't seem like N'Zoth does much in Standard?

DR that remain:

Savannah HM
Tirion
Leper
BM
Loot
Harvest
Abomination
Cairne
Sylv
The Beast
Majordomo
Darn
Rhonin
Anub
Dreadsteed
Chillmaw
Skeleton Knight
Raptor
Tomb P
Toad
Anub
Wobbling
Only a few are legit good.

Corrupted Healbot
Polluted Hoarder
Undercity Husker
Tentacle

Are the new ones...so many good DR cards are gone. Seems like a good card if you can get SYLV, Corrupted Healbot, Carnie etc. and one other card to be summoned.
