Tia's the only like first tier playable there and she shows up in decks that you're not gonna get off the ground right away. High cost poo poo. Odin and Gabriel see play but they're more limited.

If this is 49 packs it's not very good... I'm very lazy and I'd still reroll it

if it's 35 packs it's probably like 60th percentile, 6 legs is ok but atomy and fairy princess are real bad

Just had a crazy Rune mirror in TT, ended with the other guy drawing out his deck. The last ~8 turns was just both of us sitting with removal (he only had one card, I had two Windblast with 10+ damage, a 0-cost Fiery Embrace, a Final Curse and a Price of Magic) occasionally topdecking draw or medium-small minions that instantly died. Unlike me he didn't think to avoid playing draw cards once we got to that point though and basically insta-lost once he got a card ahead of me into his deck since I just had obscene amounts of removal.

I'm having a pretty fun time with it, decent balance of Sigils and Sigil consumers, and a handful of good Spellboost cards combined with Merlin plus a fair number of regular spells.

Since the draws are not completely random you can get a Mordecai plus a lich and stuff like that on the board just in time to be D-Shifted.

Could very well be a meme...

Necroelementalist, Hell's Unleasher, the 7 mana ward guy, Mordecai would give you a 4/4, a warded 5/5, Mordecai, and would ping the enemy board. Not bad

It's the kind of card you have to build an entire deck around, and I hope they add some more good Last Words because for whatever reason it feels like Shadow is lacking in identity right now.

Nah I don't think you would play the 7 mana guy. Assuming the english translation is correct, you want only 4 different cost tiers in your deck. Mordecai is obviously one of them and is going to be your only other 8 drop. So what do you slot for the remaining 3 tiers? 4 drops for hell unleasher only? A bunch of 3 drops for the elementalists, and the last word cards that summon a skeleton?

So now you have one cost tier left. Do you go with 2s so you don't lose to aggro every single game or do you go ???
Maybe even forgo a fourth tier just so you don't have to worry about only playing her into an empty board but eehhh

The remainder of your deck are going to be spells too because amulets are a no go since you would risk not having mordecai

Actually you probably will need 2 drops because otherwise skeleton knight would be your only ward. With 2s you get widows and dingdong angels for draws

Went 5 - 0 for the second time with Rune, having 12 removal cards not counting extra curses from First Curse plus a really good curve and few enough Spellboost/Earth Sigil cards that they never really clogged my hand made it smooth sailing. Maybe the easiest 5 win run I've had for three reasons - I faced no really aggressive decks, I got to play second in 4/5 games, and I had two Remi+Rami and a Merlin to make use of that juicy T4 Evolve (though I only actually ended up Evolving any of them on T4 in two games).

E: Also that Shadowcraft legendary looks like it'll be real bad to my untrained eye. I mean, against big bad non-aggro decks like D-Shift, PtP or Seraph/Elana your only real win-condition as any Shadow deck is basically getting on the board early with a nice curve and getting some damage in/making your opponent waste resources to slow them down, followed by Cerberus/Howl/Mummy-ing face to victory before they can gently caress you. Building your deck around this card seems like you'd have to give up your entire win-condition in favor of something your opponent won't give a poo poo about. And I'm not seeing how this T8 5/5 that may or may not give you a big board/draws/shadows/whatever is supposed to help against aggressive decks. Which leaves...????

Honestly it has the same problem as Pascale Rune: gearing up for a huge mega-board late game doesn't help you at all against combo decks, and by investing in that your early game suffers a bit too. That said, I think it's theoretically possible for them to introduce enough good Last Words cards at key point values to make this the finisher of a more ordinary mid-range deck that can also go aggressive when it needs to.

Maybe but even then it feels like it'll end up a slightly less control-y Mordecai - probably good enough to splash one of just for general utility in longer games, but you barely ever see it in your hand and when you do you probably curse yourself for not having put in some cheap removal against the t5 lethal on board your Swordcraft opponent has set up instead. Maybe I'm wrong and the extra Shadow generation, even on a T8 card, will prove really useful in control/combo match-ups, but...

I am imagining they add a bunch of "Last Words: Deal X damage to the enemy Leader" cards, and when you play this you deal 15 damage to face immediately. That's what I meant by "a finisher". Last Words that have an immediate effect.

Well you still have to play early-game minions because Shadowcraft doesn't exactly have the greatest stall-game (in fact it's trash because no good healing, few taunts and generally sub-par early removal) so unless these early-game minions also get good stat-lines plus face-damage Last Words I just can't see how this combo is meant to go off. You play it and you get four face-damage last words and deal 12 damage...but you have done none previously and are on 2 life yourself because you couldn't play any good cards before it. Or you play it and you get like one face-damage Last Word to trigger because she just spawned a bunch of Spartois and Shadow/Zombie/Skeleton-generators.

Clarste

They could also be like "Last Word: summon a follower with Storm" which could either go face or clear the board. I mean, it may not even be this expansion, but I just think such a deck is theoretically possible without creating any obviously broken stand-alone cards.

Plus, you're presumably going to be playing these same aggressive Last Word followers throughout the early game, so it's hard to see how you'd have dealt 0 damage before turn 8, if only through trading them to stay alive.

Well the thing is, what kind of, say, 2PP minion is gonna have Last Word: Summon a minion with Storm? Maybe if it's a 1/1 that summons a 1/1, but you only get 4 summons from Nepthys so that's 25% of your summons wasted to do one damage to face. 3PP, maybe we get like a 0/2 with a 2/2 Storm Last Words if we're lucky, again hardly too impressive in a combo. And there's no way they're just gonna print Storm LW for a bunch of different PPs just to activate this combo. I mean yes, once you get to 5-6-7 mana it's possible to have some good face-damage Last Words to spawn, but what are you gonna play T1 - 4? Unless Shadowcraft gets better non-Shadow-reliant spells - heals, follower spawns, removals - the answer is more minions that won't do much if anything in way of face damage that are most of the time gonna get summoned instead of the actual good LW followers. You'd need some insane high-cost Last Words to get printed to activate it I feel, the the tune of only needing two of them summoned to do 10+ damage.

Spells that summon followers are another possibility. And, well, I kind of think they would print cards specifically designed to make this combo work? As a card game designer, I'd imagine your goal is to print cards that allow for new and different decks to exist. You don't intentionally create dud legendaries, probably. They're even printing that new card which summons a Beast Dominator because they want those to exist sometimes I guess.

Well, I can believe they could create this kind of dud because honestly, it's still better than a LOT of Legendaries already in the game. Its main problem is just that, as it stands, the game leans too far towards aggro/combo decks that don't really care that much if you make value/board-centric plays - which is what this card seems like it'll excel at as things stand. In a slower meta with different archetypes at the top it very well could be a solid card just as it is. I'm not sure I believe we'll ever get to said meta, but maybe the devs think so. Or maybe they have some juicy Last Words lined up indeed, guess we'll have to wait and see.

I've seen that this xpac is going to be around 103-105 cards and I'm pretty sure not nearly that many have been revealed, so I guess I'm just an impatient baby. Not that I really need new cards, I opened good cards without re-rolling because I didn't know that was a thing and ended up with aggro bats for free by the time I finished the blood story mode.

The 4/6 for 6 mana bloodcraft card seems very good in arena. If you evolve it then you suddenly have an effective 7 power on the board plus 1 damage to all other enemy creatures swinging in. It's nice since blood always seemed like the worst arena class to me.
