Oh, good, they're actually releasing more spoilers. I assumed they'd do that dumb thing where they announce the expansion and then don't show anything for two weeks.

The mercenaries release screwed up their release schedule. It's why we got all the mini-set reveals in a weekend and two solo campaigns a week apart.

unless Drek'thar is the nuts in aggro druid, matriarch looks incredibly strong for that deck, especially since you can summon two for 0 mana with oracle lol

Is that hero some kind of a quest payoff? You can just put that card into your deck? Am I crazy in thinking its literally the best card I've ever seen?

Glad it gives 5 armor btw. it would be way too slow otherwise.

I want to know what happens if the player's hand is full or partially full and can't take all the minions back. Is it random which minion comes back then?

Same thing as vanish, it bounces in play order and any that can't fit get obliterated.

It's the order they were played, if it works like everything else in this game, so first in first back.

first one I could think of is play quest warlock, use the 4 mana 5/7 with the "deal 5 damage to your hero" deathrattle, then use this after you complete your quest and play Tamsin

I couldn't think of any other deathrattles in standard that would fit in with what Warlock likes to do going forward

**it's probably too awkward to use in that way, the insane warlock draw works better to just draw out your deck and stack the damage more reliably

Seems pretty good, if a bit boring. It’s basically just a better Warlock hero power.

This would also fail horribly to any AoE clear, since the warlock wouldn't be protected from the deathrattle damage if it's not their turn.

lol right you are

Does Warlock use any other notable deathrattles these days? Ebonlocke is rotating out for the Zoo warlock players..

maybe it's more of a Wild card, unless the support is coming in the expansion..

I wish the battlecry did literally anything else so this was playable in zoo...

...because it would be very good in Zoo if it didn't Hellfire your board. And it's terrible in quest warlock since you cant take dmg from hero power anymore lmao

Yeah, 7 mana, cast Vanish (6 mana value), summon two stealthed 4/2s (6 mana value using Jungle Panthers as stand-ins), and gain five armor (1 mana value using Iron Hide as a stand-in).

Then a zero-cost hero power that reduces the next card played by two mana.

There's no way that HP doesn't get tweaked to be the next card *drawn* gets reduced by two mana. They should've given him Dr. Boom's rotating HP with three other random/rotating options.

If zoo was good the Kabal Outfitter one could be good. I don't see it though.

There's also Ring Matron/Enhanced Dreadlord/Envoy Rustwick which are theoretically good but would never work. Elwynn Warlock dream? :v:

e: Best is probably just Nerubian egg or something for zoo like poor man's soul of the forest.

This card is vicious. Even something simple like a leper gnome deathrattle on a full board would be spicy. Suspect it'll find it's home very comfortably in aggro decks.

I don't think this is top tier but it is fun to play, has lots of decision making and leads to some funny games.

Had my most satisfying win in a long time today, vs a druid who roped every single turn for some reason (hatred of priest maybe).

They quit in the end after I copied, apotheosis'ed and duplicated their Greybough, then silenced it. I made sure to emote 'thanks' when they started trying to clear it and I got a full health reload.

A few choice highlights in standard include:
* a 5/5 with rush
* a 3/6 legendary that turns the cheap stuff you play from hand into 4/4s, there might be some synergy there, I dunno. Probably jank.
* a 5/10 taunt (is this warlocks version of oaken summons?)
* a 5/7 with the 5 damage to yourself deathrattle to enable the janky phylactery/demon seed combo?
