The card was recreated using an external tool, because no English version was provided and it needed a translation.

The actual in-game card will obviously look better… We will update with a HD artwork too once the official English version is released by Blizzard.

You’re right, but I don’t think it will be good. You prefer cards that will keep you alive BEFORE playing Bloodreaver Gul’dan. After that, you already summon lots of Taunts and your Hero Power is already good.

A card that works only after you play your other 10 mana card is not really that amazing.

It’s a Robo-Pinocchio, duh.

It’s too expensive, I’m afraid. You can play 2 Hero Powers max without some sort of discount.

Not sure why Vivid Nightmare would be good with this one. I mean, you’d be able to heal for 8 or deal 8 damage with your Hero Power (as Shadowreaper Anduin), but that’s it.

Too bad that until you play Gul’dan, this will be a 5 mana 4/4 “your Hero Power deals 4 damage instead of 2… to yourself” 😀

But it does a lot in Aggro matchups too. Have you played against Dude Paladin or even Murloc Paladin? Games often last until Turn 10, or even beyond if you don’t get a good N’Zoth/Gul’dan.

Yes, it would be bad against e.g. Pirate Warrior, which goes all in, but some Aggro decks have refills for days. Paladins, Zoo Warlocks, Token Shamans (not EXACTLY Aggro, but you get my point) – those decks can still flood the board in the mid/late game.

Of course, you don’t replace Defile or Hellfire with it, as those cards are crucial to not die early. But having more premium AoE is not bad at all for the deck.

I know his backstory and I still don’t think that he fits Warlock. Undead don’t have anything to do with Warlock. Warlock is not a Necromancer.

He works like Defile. “If any minions die, repeat this Battlecry” is a part of a Battlecry. Basically, his WHOLE card text triggers again, so it will proc again and again as long as he kills something.

If it worked like you think, then Defile would also stop after the 2nd cast.

1 mana 1/1 would be too strong with Hyena. Unless they would get rid of Beast tag too.

We used a placeholder name, because there was no official translation for the card yet (the card was revealed in Chinese), not because it REALLY has “placeholder” in its name name 🙂

Yeah, it looks ridiculous. The biggest issue I have with printing this now is that Warlock was looking good going into Year of the Raven anyway – it’s not losing that much with the rotation. And now this. If the class gets another broken card, it might be Tier 0.

We’ll have to see how it plays out first. As for the nerf, though, it’s hard to say. Cube was really powerful and they haven’t touched it (e.g. Defile is still there, and I think that Defile might be even better than this card to be honest, especially since you can put 2 copies into your deck).

Thank you!

It’s still way too early to judge. They usually want to showcase the new mechanics first, and only then show the more powerful cards. Some of the most broken cards ever were revealed during the last card dump at Facebook…

Frogs are Beasts, not Murlocs 🙂

Having all Tribes is not a part of the card’s effect – it just has all the Tribes (see “All” at the bottom). And just like you can’t silence any other tribe, silencing this one will be pointless too.

Sure, that sounds good, but do you realize how hard would it be to pull off? That’s a 4 cards set-up AND you need to have Uther already in play AND rest of the combo in your hand.

Oh, and I assume you’re talking about Wild – Beardo will be gone from Standard.

Not exactly, but close. We might see one or two more Odd/Even cards (probably even, because we’ve seen more Odds), but probably not more. At least not now, from what the devs said. We might get more synergy in the upcoming expansions, obviously.

This build takes more proactive approach with Fire Flies and Tar Creepers. Given that those AoEs are rather weak against Aggro anyway (FoK is just 1 damage for 3 mana, Flurry is expensive and hard to get working in fast matchups, because you need a buffed weapon first), this approach might work even better than having those AoEs.

Paladin matchup is terrible for this deck either way, you have to mentally prepare for the fact that you will lose it ~80% of the time.
