It won’t make them smaller, Battlecries are triggered after the Quest turns a minion into a 4/4.

The buff will apply AFTER changing it to 4/4. So the first one would be 4/4, second 6/6, third 8/8 etc.

Battlecries apply AFTER the Quest. Edwin VanCleef was briefly played in the Quest Rogue back in Un’Goro and it obviously worked.

A card that would summon 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6 and 7/7 for 5 mana would also die to Defile. It doesn’t mean that it’s bad. Warlocks running defile are still maybe ~10% of the ladder and so far nothing suggests that it will change drastically.

Not to mention that it wouldn’t even die to Defile, you would need to bump one of the Divine Shields first.

If you run it to have another big minion in Control matchups, why not just play a solid, big minion in that card slot instead? This card is bad anyway against most of the fast decks, and you won’t have to pay +2 mana for your big minion and it will be more consistent.

It’s random, and that’s how randomness works – sometimes for you, sometimes against you 🙂

Sorry guys, Not-So-Spiteful Summoner is gone – switched it with an official translation of the name. I liked the previous one more, though 🙁

If we’re talking about single target, then yeah, it’s probably better to just play a damage spell instead. But this works much better with AoE damage – e.g. Arcane Explosion suddenly becomes a 3 AoE damage, Flamestrike deals 6 etc. We also have one non-damage card synergizing with Spell Damage in this expansion (Unexpected Results), but we might get more.

Yes, but Equality has insane late game scaling. The later it gets into the game, the more big minions your opponent will likely have. This card has basically no late game scaling. It’s always a 1 mana for 2/2 of stats in the best case scenario. And in the worst case scenario, when you have no Mech to play it on (so nearly always on the curve, on Turn 1), it’s a 1 mana 1/1, which is just bad.

1 mana 2/2 would be great IF you could play it on Turn 1. 1 mana 2/2 would always suck in any late game scenario, unlike the Equality you’ve mentioned. So sorry, but that’s a bad comparison.

It doesn’t work like this, any minion that was played when it was still alive will die, no matter if it dies before those minions.

Because that’s exactly what it is 🙂 We don’t know its official English name yet, so I’ve decided to make a little joke.

It’s not an official translation. The card was revealed in Chinese and we don’t know its name yet!

The combo is indeed OP, but it’s also very hard to pull off. Sticking Malygos to the board is almost impossible (opponent will most likely just Silence or kill it), and even if you do, it’s usually better to just kill your opponent with it 🙂 8 damage Frostbolts and 11 damage Fireballs should make it quite easy. So even if you stick Malygos, you’d rather just throw a bunch of damage spells at your opponent than play Unexpected Results.

The card seems more powerful with cheaper sources of Spell Damage. Even 1 or 2 Spell Damage is enough for it to be pretty damn powerful.

That’s correct.

No real “requirements”, you just have to log in here: https://gleam.io/dZpkD/hearthstone-top-decks-boomsday-project-giveaway and do some simple tasks like following on Twitter to have a higher chance to win 🙂

Between Void Ripper and Spellbreaker, I’d say that Void Ripper is better in this deck.

I wouldn’t really remove the Corpse Widow, though. If you cut one, you might run into situation in which you don’t have enough Beasts to pull out of Kathrena too often.

The thing is, Malygos Druid does not play Oaken Summons already. It has cut the card quite a long time ago, actually.

…or he just didn’t complete it.

Did it? I haven’t seen it in a single Constructed deck, ever.

It’s just a template, we don’t know the distribution of rarities yet and there is no point in adding blanks. There will definitely be many more Neutral Commons.
