…because it costing 1 extra mana gives you an extra turn to execute your counterplay. 1 mana is huge. A lot of DK’s efficient board clears are delayed by a whole turn. Priest can’t slam Zarimi on 5 and win immediately. Warrior can’t play Reno on 8, giving you an extra turn to put on pressure.
Sure, we can clown them for the whole agency thing but the meta will settle and the three top decks will not be dominant for long because the other classes will refine and adapt. Those three are all old decks which are highly refined.

Yeah. It’s quite literally the most powerful deck in the format, according to the VS report. You can’t nerf the warlock and warrior and just leave rogue alone, it would dominate even more than it already does.

I think there’s too much anti-synergy with Nightshade Bud to add it to this list. The best version of this deck may very well contain lasher and no bud though, but it’ll be slightly more control-focused than this due to needing to ramp to 10, and I’m sure there will be steep competition from control decks due to all the strong AoE tools added.

Bounce is bad with magnetic, you only get the base copy of the card without the attachments

Only 20% of the deck has deathrattle, pretty bad roll the bones odds.

Guys it’s a freaking AoE effect on a hunter card thats also a beast and also has deathrattle so it gets the cost reduction from corpse widow. 5 star that thing.

You know, I thought about it a bit and its a good idea, I just think you’ll have to cut a bit too many spells and overloads for it to work. Who knows though. I’ll try this deck out too when the expansion goes live

Echo giants reborn?

2x snowfury giant, 2x arcane giant, and the spirit echoes for the bounce back

It’s actually a good deck for finders keepers too! Everyone forgets about that card sadly. I’m definitely going to try it out at least.

Other possible inclusions: Volcano, lightning storm, earth elemental (ancestrals? possibly.), jinyu, jade claws (jade package? sounds good), maybe even spirit doggies.

Okay thanks for reminding me but in my defense bolf is easy to forget about. His effect was downright terrible.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think we’ve ever seen this exact statline and my guess is it’s a pretty good one. The potential of the effect is definitely there as a result. Just a little weak against priest lol.

well then it wouldn’t be as good because you’d only get 1 of it

barnes is 3/4 plus 1/1 which is a 4/5. one stat off. big deal. the 5/5 doesn’t matter for combos anyway.

Basically just same value as barnes but 2 more mana. Eh. Maybe combo priest will work.

You know, I’m not really a fan of the card’s art honestly. DK Anduin looked way cooler in the art of all nine death knights. Like, what’s up with the whole purple spiky hair thing anyway?

Hey, I like the way you think! It’s a great combo finisher option, but unfortunately it won’t always work because there needs to be exactly one shadow visions in your deck. Good thing priest will have so many other ways to win!

I think he’s saying that the presence of this card completely changes the meta, but the card will rarely have to be physically played.
