I literally dreamt about a card last night that eats a minion in your opponent's hand Mutanus-style at the end of turn.
Close enough.
The arena impact is insane lol, this card is so good like wth
The only other place that uses "eat" as a thing on board (so no mutanus), is BGs and there deathrattles doesn't trigger, sure it is a diferente game mode but after tokis bug we saw minions in bob's tavern can be destroyed and trigger their deathrattles while "eating them" doesn't, i guess is just a matter of waiting and see what actually happens
Can we get the Undead tribe already?
Or daddy China won't allow that?
For a company that keeps milking W3 they sure keep forgeting one of the most important parts...
I wonder if deathrattles of eaten minions get triggered. Was there ever a mechanic like this before? Mutanus doesn't quite compare well
They use the term 'eat' but that's basically the same as destroy. Just more flavorful that way. I would be greatly surprised if this was not the case.
I really thought it was zombie cornelius looking at the reveal pic. Turns out its just a somewhat broken 8 drop abomination.
Basically if you're playing against a midrange deck and this card eats up one of the big minions on 8, that's basically game over. Unfortunately fortunately, this card has no rush or taunt so its still just a middling 8 drop praying that the opponent cant just do irreparable damage to your face the following turn.
Not expecting this to see play in standard or wild, but expect plenty of discover effects that'll just drop his dead arse onto the board out of nowhere. And of course, this thing is just broken in arena. Make or break the game infact, according to rng of who this thing actually eats at the end of the turn.
They're really out to break Arena, aren'T they?
How long until the inevitable ban?
Yeah, lot of these minions are almost insta win potential in Arena. It will be interesting.
