Hearthstone |OT8| Elise's Extremely Irresponsible Field Trip To Un'Goro

these are all 10 adaptations
1) Deathrattle: "Summon two 1/1 Plants."
2) +3 Attack
3) Can't be targeted by spells or Hero Powers.
4) Divine Shield
5) Windfury
6) Taunt
7) +3 Health
8) +1/+1
9) Temporary Stealth
10) Poison
there is no charge sadly /s.
Divine Shield is probably the best one most of the time, the deathrattle one is pretty good too. Pick the spell proof depending on opponent's class like against mage/rogue. Honestly all of them can be decent depending on the situation and it involves some skill testing and reads, RNG isn't too high variance with most of them except getting taunt when you absolutely need it or not to block lethal. Still some are clearly better than the rest, like +3 hp is almost always better than 3 attack or +1/+1 on the minion we saw. It depends on the base stats, that could change easily.
Pretty good. It would be a really powerful mechanic on a cheap minion like 2 drops though...

I guess this was posted on a Taiwan Hearthstone site? Not sure if it's legit or not.
I'm just waiting for a stupid overstatted minion to be announced with this mechanic. While the RNG might not be too high variance the power level of the stuff you can get is. Getting spellshield/divine shield is so much better than +1/+1 or Windfury.
They'll probably announce the stupid minion and then games will be decided by one player getting divine/spell shield and the other getting the choice out of +1/+1/+3atk/windfury. Color me surprised if this isn't going to happen.

And Paladin goes to tier 1.
That's just stupid, that's one of those cards Blizzard prints when they want to make a deck work with zero regard for balance. Even without Anyfin, some sort of Murloc deck will be insane. Murloc Pally will probably rule Wild.

The (presumably) translated text on that card does not explain whether this is giving your minions on the board adapt or minions in your hand adapt or deck etc.. Maybe it's deck or hand but if not I suppose the adapts you get are random. Sorta like that gvg minion that gave your minions divine shield, windfury, or taunt.

That card seems op if real.

It has synergy with The Curator as well which is kinda nuts lol.
Also really seeming like the card is legit. The site that posted it has had card reveals for all the past expansions so at this point I don't believe there's any reason to think it's fake.

^ it buffs your murlocs with what you pick from 10 possible options above.
that means murloc inquisitor is a very good card now in paladin. yeah..
So, my murloc(s) can get that 1/10 of adapt thingy?
right. you have 4 murlocs on board, you can play this and give all of them windfury for example.
Remember quartermaster? This is just a straight up better one.

I am very disappointed with adapt as it is more rng based mechanics that can give huge tempo early in the game or coin flip a late game match. It just feels like totems all over again. Hopefully it is not as simple as it seems on better cards.

Ultra buff your murlocs. Everyfin + divine shield for all murlocs lol.

I don't understand why discover of all things is ignored when it comes to RNG complaints.

Is that card even good with anyfin? It would cost 14 mana and you need to summon 6 or less murlocs.
I don't think RNG is all too relevant with that card, if you pull it off on a Finja board you win with like half the options anyway. You're guaranteed to get one. You might not win the turn but it creates a board almost impossible to remove on 6 mana, or it deals lots of damage you're dead anyway next turn or similar.

It's a fun mechanic, but I do dislike the triclass discovers they implemented last expansion... way too random to play against.

Are you saying discover isn't complained about? Isn't it always complained about? Discover potion rng for example can decide games. I have always seen discover included in the complaints. That's why I hate the idea of adapt. Or did I misunderstand your post.
Stampeding Kodo meta
nah that scenario is too far fetched like Stranglehorn tiger into managerie warden thingie
I think Adapt as mechanic impacting arena more than constructed

I never noticed these complaints outside of drakop. At least on gaf, I'm not active in any other community and gaf appears to love discover.
Honestly it should be +2/+2 in order to compete. That +1/+1 seems pretty weak compared to the others. Nice to see Spell immunity as one of the choices btw.

This card is absurd. Adapting an entire tribe is a cool idea though, just should be costed more heavily.
have finja on board
swing in and summon 2 more murlocs
drop this guy
get windfury
get 2 more murlocs and an overwhelming board on turn 6
Edit: Actually there's potential to RNG 24 damage on turn 6 or 4 if you're druid.
not quite otk I guess, did some math wrong.
so imma go with fake as shit.

And then whatever happens you drop Anyfin and it's gg.

6/5 is premium as far as raw stats, plus it's a beast which is relevant but may become even more relevant in this expansion.

This "Adapt" mechanic just show's that they're doubling down on the RNG side of Hearthstone, which is the worst part of the game. If that's the case, then they can stick their £35 pre-order crap.

In a world where storm guardian is a 5 mana 10/10 with taunt.
Pyros is pretty bad.

Yeah that's how im feeling. Not to happy that they're adding another rng based mechanic in the game.
But what you gonna upset about 'highrolled' by the adapt mechanic?
Really not seeing that sort of thing. Unless there some flamewhreath faceless type of shit with adapt.
I think the mechanic gonna made arena a lot of fun... I dont see its benefit of construtced gameplay because people play their usual n handy removal but in arena its can made you handle yòur resource differently.

I feel it's similar to the discover mechanic. I don't think it's nearly as bad as shit like babbling book.

It's not bad at all. Gives players more options and isn't hugely impactful based on what you choose.
+3 hp is generally better than Divine Shield. The average powerlevel of divine shield falls between +2 hp and +3 hp most of the time. Think about how Scarlet Crusader and Shielded Minibot and how those cards usually trade and you'll see what I mean.
This only changes when Divine Shield stacks with a mechanic like Charge where your opponent has fewer opportunities to trade with the Divine Shield in the way they want.

The minion doesn't seem bad, but murlocs will have to be good which is doubtful. Anyfin is rotating. Murlocs haven't made much if any of a deck since closed beta outside of anyfin decks. Even murloc knight is going out. And I think windfury being the only great finishing tool, something that relies on you having a sizeable board to begin with... so far I think it's not that relevant of a card. Assuming it works the way the text is laid out in the translation.
Notably, there is no version of it up on hearthpwn yet.
Anyfin is rotating. Is that why you said paladin tier 1?

My problem with it's yet more randomness, you or your opponent gets a choice of 3 from 10. It's why so many people keep Brann for Kazakus 'cos with 2 chances you might get something you want. Reno mirror's are usually decided by who gets offered the better potion.
Drak OP, Kabal Courier, Babbling Book, Kabalist's Tome, Peddler, Netherspite Historian - people are winning matches with cards that are not in their decks that can't be played around, and it depresses me when it happens. And adding another "wow, didn't see that coming..." mechanic isn't filling me with much confidence which is why I might hold off from pre-ordering and just see how it all shakes out. I miss out on card pack value but I think it could be worth the risk.
Gut feeling is that it makes "having fun" in Hearthstone more expensive. In general not a fan of one of the new mechanics being a legendary only thing.
