Card Review & Interactions

This card has a lot of potential, but it feels a bit too slow for the current Deathrattle Hunter decks. Because of the rather weak stats (3/6 for 5 is not good), you don't really want to drop it on the curve. You want to drop it on the same turn you're triggering a Deathrattle

In most of the decks, Carnivorous Cube seems better, and you can't really run both. I mean, technically you can, but Deathrattle Hunter decks already have strong mid-late game shenanigans so it just feels unnecessary. Maybe as an one-of, to make those shenanigans even better. Like if you stick a Cube, then play this + Play Dead, basically no matter what you've eaten, this play is going to be massive.

But maybe it has a place in something like Bomb Hunter? There are lots of ways to summon and activate Goblin Bombs, so if you stick a few on the board, this can be a massive burst card. Hard to say, the card has some potential, but might end up like Corpse Widow, good on paper but too slow in reality.

Card rating: 6/10

    Does this also work with play dead?

    1. Jansuko

      yeah it works with it

    2. Fiery

      That's nuts because you can deal crap ton of damage or flood your board lol.

  2. OlafBiggles

    And what about spiritsinger umbra?

    1. mockingstuffs

      This is different from Umbra. Umbra triggers a minion's deathrattles as that minion is summoned. This card only care about trigger a deathrattles again.
      For example, if you summon Loot Hoarder while having Umbra, Umbra will trigger Loot Hoarder's deathrattles and you will draw a card immediately. On the other hand, Necromechanic will not give you any card for summoning Loot Hoarder. However, if Hoarder's deathrattles is triggered (by dying for example), you will draw two cards.

      1. Gobi

        But if you have this and umbra on the board and drop loot hoarder you draw two cards imediatly then again when it dies.

        1. mockingstuffs

          Agree, this and umbra will give two cards for dropping a hoarder, and two more when hoarder dies, result in four cards.
          Nercomechanic is kinda similar to Baron, but with extra cost for extra values. Baron only triggers the deathrattles when the minion dies. On the other hand, this will trigger the effect once more time, despite how the first one was triggered.
          Fun card i would say.

    Welcome back baron

    3.8/5

    1. Shadow Fairy

      Way better than Baron. +2/-1 makes it so the opponent has to sacrifice board most of the time to clear this, and even then you can just smack down the second one, due to this being epic

  4. nickname23

    Blowout potentential for this card: 5/5.
    Could be a bit win-more-ish, though.

  5. Mrthejazz

    Oh dear God death rattle Hunter is terrifying now.

  6. Danyar

    Way too janky at 5 Mana. Pure win more card.

  7. JKoala

    Great potential but slow. Slow greedy cards use to be inconsistent.

  8. Jsdh

    In any situation where you would play this and play dead, cube play dead is simply better

    1. Killy

      Not if you have 2 triggers for deathrattle to play with this, than it is better than cube in some cases. I guess in those situations you are winning anyway most of the time but it is not simply a worse effect but a different one.

  9. Initial dee

    Deja Vu, I've just seen this card before, lower on the cost...

  10. Dillz

    You could say they are thinking outside the cube.

  11. CD001

    Although, I suspect, a Goblin Bomb deck is going to be absolutely terrible - it does have 2 advantages, this and Fireworks Tech, plus the fact that you'll probably not be too disappointed when you get Leokk.

    Chuck in some Lepers and you could kill your opponent with nothing other than deathrattle effects.

    1. Soxaldinho

      Turn 5: Necromechanic
      Turn 6: Cube (the NM), played as the cube
      Turn 7: Boommaster flark
      Turn 8: any player any DR triggers plus Void ripper!
      Dream scenario maybe, but humourous

      1. Soxaldinho

        *playdead the cube

      2. Gobi

        Takes up to many minion slots to work. Youd have to kill the cube instead of play dead it and kill flark to drop void ripper. It would however be epic to watch if it did work.
