Yogg has lost me countless games when I'm already in a winning position.

But it's so funny that I keep doing it.

YOGG GOAT

I've been testing out "mid" yogg, where I play him with only like 5-6 spells having been casted.

The results are incredibly strong so far.

The most popular Yogg mage netdeck uses one (I think the creator of the deck stole his title from my OP ). It's garbage imo. I've been playing a similar deck the last couple days and minions don't stick that often. There are way better options for a card slot.

Ancient mage is meant to be plopped down with 2 apprentices and then you nuke.

That's the dream but it's bad because its an 8 mana play. Minions don't stick well and you're likely going to use apprentices on earlier turns for high value combos.

Spell damage is also overrated in the deck imo.

Just lost to Yogg, had a full board of patrons and opponent drops Yogg. First spell is doom and opponent fills his hand, clears my board and gets like 3 secrets in play GG. Not even mad.

Bow Down Before the God of Death!

Opponent has 9 health and a bunch of minions on board without taunts. I have Ethereal Conj and 2 Mirror Images up. Also 2 x Fireball and a 0 Mana Frostbolt in hand. Easy lethal right?

But then I draw Yogg

Couldn't resist.

If you use the dark lord inappropriately and for ill gain he may punish you

With the old freeze mage it wasn't terrible. Gave me some more combo pieces if alex got bottom decked.

haha this card is awesome
was playing vs warrior with 30+ armor running into fatigue and losing. my board was empty, he had ysera and emperor. dropped yogg and used like 15 spells already, got shadowstep, double yogg.

first 1 buffs ysera and gets sw death to kill it, bash execute or smth like that to kill emperor.

2nd yogg fills board with 1/1s, paladin dudes and webspinners, evolve into armorsmith, whirlwind, ez game. had like 10 secrets in play as well if thats even possible.

yogg gets killed pretty much every time tho, thats a shame.

I'm playing him in this deck, deck is doing great at low ranks so far

Take out nefarian and give yourself another arcane blast imo

Yogg has made this game fun again. I literally don't even care if I win, it's just so much fun dropping him and watching the chaos unfold.

I did manage to snap off my first Brann/Yogg and it was glorious, the poor priest I hit had no idea what was coming. Additionally, nothing makes me happier than when Yogg shadowsteps himself so I can pop him off more than once...assuming I don't eat a giant nuke in the face before I can use him :-)

So much this. Yogg gang up'd himself twice and drew like 6 cards.

5 YOGGs in hand.. Only got to play one more before the warrior conceded due to TOO MUCH YOGG

Damn I haven't had Gang Up happen to me, nor have I ever considered it.

is this card really worthy strat wise?
blizzard is really turning this game into a rng feist expansion after expansion.

i thistle teaed into yogg. played him 3 times in 1 game lol

we all envy you bobbo

It's actually incredible when you're behind on the board

There's definitely a huge strategic element to Yogg. Obviously bad to play when winning, but the main two spots where he's awesome are:

Lost-game Hail Mary - the obvious one, and it definitely works sometimes. I got a comeback in two completely dead situations today, and got one miracle lethal from 17hp with 3(!) mind blasts and a hellfire, and one game where he board cleared, drew a bunch of cards, etc

Out of steam - this is more common, at least in the deck I'm playing, and it works a large amount of the time where you just need to get some combination of drawn cards, killing a couple minions, or stray face damage to close out a game.

I'm pretty sure that in the right list Yogg can be in a legitimate top-tier deck. Worst case, he's 2ndtier/max-fun

Initial Yogg-Saron designs:



lol at Blizzard even considering the 15 seconds crap. I hope they fire anyone who defended it and give their pay to whoever had the idea for the final design.

Right? They've tried like 20 times to fix it but nozdormu's mechanic is still screwed up. And they considered adding another timer effect? Fail.

Sorry if this been covered already, but it looks like yogg's spells effect whoever's side of the battlefield he is on. Opponent played yogg into my sylvanas, 1st spell killed sylvanas, stole yogg, then the played secrets gave them to me, drew me cards and ultimately discarded my whole hand with astral communion. Still won tho.

Both hero and villain are top decking and are both low on health with hero being at 1. I drop yogg and I just need a heal to win. Lay on hands hits my hero and am excited until I see my total says -7.

Maybe the worst (unluckiest) Yogg ever played against me. He had 1 card left in his deck at the start of his turn.

Among the notables:
1st: SW:D on the Yogg he just put down
2nd: LoH on me for 8 healing (and 2 overdraw)
3rd: Lightning Bolt his face
4/5th: Soulfire himself twice for 8 and discard 2 cards
8th: Doom kills the huffer he just spawned
15th: Pyroblast his face for 10
