Did anyone else notice the inception photo behind McIntyre and focus on that instead of the cards? :D
"Yeah, so..." "This is, sort of, a..." "And that, like..." "I mean, is there..." "I just..." "Um..."
If you amended the script with a few "just to circle back" or "to bounce off of that"s, I'd be transported back to undergrad. At risk of sounding like an elitist snarkysnark, most folks in my generation seem to share the same limited vocabulary. I think that's part to why the older game designers tend to be more unique video personalities - if there are any shying away from the limelight, maybe Team 5 could try them out. These two are pleasant, but not entertaining or engaging.
Tickatus burns my C'Thun, the Shattered
*Uninstalls Hearthstone*
I am not going to craft Tickatus but if I open him in pack I will check if he is working.
Also small 8 mana N'Zoth, the Corruptor effect in Jewel of N'Zoth looks juicy.
Strongman is probably the best card here. Just board wipe then swing with this is just insane.
Tickatus is really strong. But it requires a 7 or more mana play first, and the only likely card I can think off that does that is Twisting Nether. Plus, its nearly impossible to play in the same deck along with Deck of Chaos, arguably the stronger of the two cards.
Archwitch Willow too... I really wish I could play her in a meta deck since I crafted her
Also Galakrond and 7 mana soul shard minion are 7 mana not to mention 9 mana alexstraza
Optimistic Ogre.... *slow clap*
I read tickatus as removing your opponents whole deck when corrupted. Thought. Thats strong... Reading is overrated
Are you kidding me with Tickatus ...
I'm guessing Warlock is heading towards Control based decks with the cards they will receive from this expansion. Especially with the corrupt mechanics. Warlock does have early and late removal cards too, so it's possible. How possible though idk but It will be interesting to try out.
Hmm I am not sure if Tickatus is good enough. 6 mana 8/8 is "fine", but we allready got a lot of 5 mana 8/8 with a downside. For 5 mana I would play this card in an offensive deck for sure... but at 6 mana.... hmmm :/
Maybe this could be at least a tech card in some kind of Renolocks against combo decks. Milling 5 cards from an combo deck can be game winning - especially if the enemy played Polkelt before. It is a Gnomeferatu on steroids. ^^
Brann + Tickatus + Zola the Gorgon
I like the idea, tho you may have to pull this on the earliest turn 10. Yes you can mill his deck empty, Yes he'll die from fatigue, but If it's aggro, Turn 10 is too late. And removing cards doesn't give any fatigue damage from empty deck.
EDIT. the way I see it, even playing it without 2x Battlecry is enough. later you can always drop Y'Shaarj, the Defiler and get the same effect on turn 10. Neat in standard for now.
This expansion seems like it has more deck building creativity than ever (for standard)
More than that, corrupt cards tends to promote players to build a lasting hand rather than aggroing on tempo. You can't seem to hold your hand long enough to corrupt it if you're playing aggro, play and refill as fast as you can.
So, this expansion is reserved for control deck meta. especially if you're playing with any of the Old Gods.
+ 2x Youthful Brewmaster... nah your combo is allready unrealistic enough.
Have you ever played wild?
4~5 Card Combos are considered 'simple'.
A 3 card combo that can annihilate your opponent's game plan is really good. (Technically you still need Thaurissan Tick, and another turn tp burn 20 instead of 10 but it's still good with just Brann + Tickatus)
see MarkMckz Wild OTKs for reference.
that priest card art is so AMAZING!
and warlock legendary... HOLY!
The 7 drops in standard are half good and half bad so you have a 50/50 chance for something really good. I think this Priest card will get more support revealed for it that will make it even better though.
The only thing is the earliest you can get it is turn 5 and if you low roll on turn 5 things can get ugly
50% chance to attack the correct enemy is clearly a powercreep to 50% chance to attack the wrong enemy
