New Shadow Isles Card - Doombeast

Fairly weak, BUT the Nightfall effect gives Shadow Isles another source of Nexus burn, which some decks will love.

Overall kinda so-so, but will probably see some play.

It's flexible but definitely situational too.  If you're already at full health you're not really excited for a 3-mana 3/2 unless it's winning the game for you. 

Health regain is always pretty nice,direct damage to the enemy  nexus also nice, statline is okay.

I think this is the best from the bunch revealed today, draining 2 with a 2 mana body and potential nightfall synergies (nocturne is gonna have either a similar effect to the horse revealed or have nightfall itself.

Swim theorized that Nocturne and/or Diana might level up from Nightfall triggers. That is pretty much the only reason I'd ever use this card. (And I'd probably still never use Duskrider.)

I'm predicting Nightfall and Nocturne will be somewhat like Toss and Maokai: you're doing it primarily for the champion's level-up effect which is a game-changer if you can pull it off.  The difference will be that whereas Toss is no immediate benefit for literally game-ending effect, Nightfall will be so-so benefit for (only) game-swinging effect.

Toss also gets you Deep, which may not be pertinent if you're not using sea monsters, but at least it's a valid, powerful synergy that exists.

Nightfall effects don't really get you anywhere (that we know of) besides a stronger 5-drop that's always going to be bad no matter how big it gets.

(UPDATE: It's confirmed that Nightfall units do level up Nocturne, who is pretty scary when leveled up, so I guess it's okay to play them to that end, but only to that end. You'd never play them without a Nightfall champ in the deck.)
