Do you want skynet? Because that's how you get skynet. You piss off a computer Ai that it doesn't just get a hissy fit, it starts firing nukes at some asshole kid in Idaho that kept getting lucky drops off shredders and taunting the computer with "well played".

If anything *can* predict that, it would be something like deep thought. If it can figure out what the randomness is tied to (server clock, or whatever), it can do what it needs to ensure best possible rolls all the time.

I want Trump vs. Skynet while worshipping N'zoth.
So you're the real life doomsayer.
That's what we've been joking about, nirolak posted the article last page

All that and Tom's card sucks
4 mana spell Priest card, destroy all minions with 2 attack or less. WAY too situational

ANN cards are fun.
Odd, that seems to be a Shaman card, but doesn't have the Shaman border.
And still makes basic mistakes every single game, probably because he has to rush his moves in the last 5 seconds.
What class?

That seems like it'll only be useful in really specific situations.
A warleader or Oracle make the card useless vs the thing the art depicts.
We got a new challenger for worst card so far.
Smorc... with Elise Starseeker?

Can't imagine running that card unless the meta is super, super heavy on aggro.
Uhhhhh 4 mana, clear like 2-3 minions, tops, possibly even your own. What. I guess it's a 'bundled' double or more shadow word pain, but worse in a lot of ways. Sigh.
hey, at least there's a style way to concede with the new legendary on turn 10. make 2-3 1/1 clones of your guys and immediately kill them w/ SW:F.

It looks like the deck Forsen was running awhile back. The idea is that it's aggro Paladin with double Divine Favor but Elise allows you to transform your deck into (good?) legendaries if you aren't able to face down your opponent.

It's not even close IMO
Dude Tentacles for Arms makes this thing look like Dr. Boom by comparison.
I did say challenger, not winner. We'll have to see till everything drops.
BTW are you guys going to wait till the release to do your card reviews?
Would've been useful 2 expacs ago. A bit narrow now depending on how things shake out.
I would've like to see SW
rolled into it so it's more flexible.
Destroy a minion with 3 or less attack, then destroy all minions with 2 or less attack.
EDIT: It's meant to handle certain minions like Minibot, though Minibot himself is rotating.
Great targets for this that Consecrate or Lightning Storm might "miss":
Armorsmith (won't trigger its ability)
Brann
Finley
Doomsayer
Keeper
Mana Tide Totem
Acolyte (won't trigger its ability)
Argent Squire
Small targets of Argent Protector
Worgen Infiltrator
Flametongue
Imp Gang Boss (won't trigger its ability)
If rotation didn't happen it'd also hit:
Minibot
Flamewaker
Dreadlord
Among others.

I think Boogeymonster might somehow be worse than Tentacles for Arms.

Or just this card but only affects your opponents minions.

That new Priest spell is really strong against current versions of Paladin. It would wipe out Minibot, Muster, and unbuffed Secret Keepers. It could also be decent against Zoo and Face Shaman. Against control decks, it kills Acolyte and Armorsmith without activating them.
I just wish tentacles for arms had 'costs one less' in its deathrattle text. Still unusable, but not 'the worst weapon in hearthstone.' (Ok maybe better than poisoned blade)
Very likely. I haven't talked to Dahbomb yet but we usually wait until Blizzard does their final dump. Better to do it this way than review cards in a vacuum imo. Need to see the whole picture. For example, Klaxxi Amberweaver looks busted in a vacuum but if C'Thun Druid blows it won't see play.
I dislike asymmetrical sweepers in principle. They're too often feast or famine. You don't want an aggro deck to be able to counter clear aggro deck boards either. It's symmetrical because it's designed as a mid-range/control card. They don't want aggro priest to run it too easily.
Note how it misses minions with 3 attack, which is an attribute shared by two of Priest's early-mid value drops like Twilight Guardian and Dark Cultist. While Dark Cultist is rotating, I think this is evidence "3 attack" is a pattern they want to continue for Priest. My biggest gripe is that this card misses Knife Juggler, and if Knife Juggler isn't changed then it seems like a big oversight. Hence why I suggested rolling SW
into it so you get an overcosted SW in a worst case scenario.I don't know what to think about fear. I mean it's great vs acolyte of pain, armor smith, imp gang boss and doomsayers (both of them). But at 4 mana it feels like it's coming out a turn too late. The other thing is Cabal already exists for mid game minion mind changing.
Too bad priests don't have eadric for that turn 10+coin wombo combo.

I wouldn't do the review until the nerf list is out as well. I don't want to be looking at a 8/8 and saying stuff like "maybe it would be good if BGH was nerfed..."
Or even a humility like card if you needed to take care of something. The two attack line for things like cabal and now this gets annoying after a while
Shadow Word: Pain is just a better answer against those cards - and that helps protect your own minion.
That would be preferable but it's possible we might not have the luxury of time to do that, depending on how close Blizzard pushes the nerf announcements to release.
It's a deck posted in the previous thread here by miladesn.
I got to Rank 12 but can't get any further, it's just win-lose-win-lose-win-lose now.

Fear will clear both of them at once, though. I don't know if it will be particularly good, but I can see uses for it. It might be even better if Priests still had Shrinkmeister for a turn 6 combo similar to the already existing Shrinkmeister + Shadow Madness, which isn't great, but can come in handy in certain situations.

I really like that Priest card. I think it could be part of what makes Shadowform Priest viable. Clear the early board as you start the control game.
I hit rank 7 with mine.
You could build a deck with no low attack minions and bypass this spell, though. You can't escape Excavated Evil.
Yes. The card is clearly strong.

I look forward to people asking what this nerdy crap on ESPN is and pretending I have no idea what they're talking about.

On a beast it is basically power word shield but stronger.
It's a lot better than demonfire for example. The deck needs some solid minions though. A card that plays the same role goblinblast mage has for mech mage or blackwing has for dragon decks, stupid synergy tempo play. I really like Druid of the Fang, we need something new to make it worth playing beasts. There is not really any notable synergy value here yet.

couldve been really good in hunter. But it looks like a nice card. A cycle for two mana in a beast druid deck.
