Confusion about the “Summon” mechanic here.
Cards with similar effects that dump minions from your hand into the battlefield are Deathwing, Dragonlord and Voidcaller. Both say “put [directly] into the battlefield”. The card text seems deliberately different from these.
N’Zoth and all normal “summon” effects don’t trigger battlecry effects, but no summon mechanics in the game so far summon from your hand. Furthermore, Thing From Below treats cards you’ve “played” from your hand as summoned for its discount effect.
Basically, does anyone know for sure if Jaraxxus replaces your hero when summoned by this card?
summon has never triggered battlecry. What you may be noticing for being “deliberately different” is most likely just an unnoticed inconsistency within the hearthstone team. As for your remark regarding Thing From Below, if you “play” a card it also counts as being “summoned”, but if you “summon” a card it does not mean it was “played”. So I am 99% sure that this will not be different and battlecry will not be triggered
It doesn’t, you get a 3/15 body.
In my opinion, some tests need to be made. There are some decent demons that could be included in a HandLock, for instance:
– Doomguard (charge).
– Fearsome Doomguard (great stats)
– Dread Infernal.
– Pit Lord
– Felguard (taunt, not bad)
– Unlicensed Apothecary
– Lord Jaraxxus
– Imp Gang Boss
– Succubus
– Dreadsteed (always good)
+ Kazzakus and his spells.
If you summon at least 3 of them, it may be good. I may include a Panda to rescue Jaraxxus or even Krul for another demon wave.
So would you have those same demons dead in your hand till turn nine? Well turn ten because even just summoning them they couldn’t attack except doomlord. To that end any board clear takes care of this. It does very little to affect the board off the bat.
I can imagine a combo deck with doomgards+PO even with emperor you can get more damage like abusive s. or with the new epic card you can get more doomgards or something like that
As a reno-lock player I can say that you don’t actually have any free slots in high mana cost. Most games are just a fight for survival and the number of high cost slots is pretty low. And those are reserved for Ragnaros, Jaraxxus, Alex, may be Ctun, and such. I doubt this would replace other win conditions. I don’t even have a place for Medivh in my deck though he works pretty cool with syphon or nether.
This will never be played purely because there are few demons that are being played in reno lock, being Reno you have the strongest minions you can get leading to the player having minions better than your average demon and a renolock often plays Jaraxxus which will be summoned without his battlecry so this minion is often unplayable with jaraxxus in your hand unless you play him before Krul
but could this lead to new warlock arc type? does it always have to fit in current decks this could lead to some kind of demon renolock
ps: sorry if there is some spelling mistakes i am not that great at english:)
Im Mal’Ganis. Im ETERNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL
I’m Mal’Ganis. I am in wild and no one plays me now. lol
HE IS MAL’GANIS, ALL MUST PLAY WILD NOW
Krul, the Ajax Goalkeeper.
BOOM! Instant Nzoth for demons!
I was about to write a long review about this in the comments, but after seeing the comment about Deathwing, Dragonlord, I’m like
“Oh YEAAAAHHHHHH~never mind!”
I literally dont know how my feelings are towards this card but I would still play this in a demon-reno deck or even just a reno deck
Not that good.
Lol… deathwing dragonlord v2
Are Battlecrys like Jaraxxus included while summoned?
yes
no, battlecries don’t trigger off of summon
no battlecrys will not get triggered
Realistically this card is not that great. At what point in any current warlock deck would you have kept demons in your hand on turn nine? Maybe in wild this is good but I can see no scenario where any demon would need to be summoned on turn nine except for the new one that does three damage to all and maybe doom lord. That’s a very niche scenario.
Don’t forget Kazakus can add random demons to your hand, and these two obviously go in the same deck.
I did forget that. I still don’t see it being used, but hey that’s a better scenario then Cho’gall , Wilfred fizzle bang. Just doesn’t seem all that great without a malganis, void crawler etc
Kazakus and a random demon does not make a nine mana card see play.
Could Segeant Sally could face against all them?
MAY GAAAAUDH !
Hohoho…OHOHOHO,now THIS may destroy your opponent’s faith in God.
