this is just a jandice re-skin lol
Idk. Doctor egg man never got played but thus time it's with spells? No clue.
Neat, two Abyssal Curses more.
Bingo it's gonna be cancer.
How much help does Control Warlock need?
This would work particularly well with Shadow Waltz. I'm not convinced yet though that the Shadow package is worth running based on the cards revealed so far: zoo only has a few turns to find its synergies, so it needs more of them than a slower deck would.
This already looks so much better and interesting than whatever they tried with fel warlock during Altarac.
Hmmm.... 5 mana for 7/8 worth of stats + 2x shadow spell. With new Shadow Waltz each token summons 2x 3/5 (I think tokens death automatically trigger aditional effect).
Tokens do not consider conditions like outcast or upgraded spells. You never know with blizzard but I doubt it would summon two shadows.
My assumption on how this works is that the shades will cast the last shadow spell casted in the game, not after this was played. So technically this card can backfire, especially if your opponent decides when to trigger it. That may explain why the amount of stats that comes with this card on turn 5.
Probably best in curselock, where any of the curse spells played will always result in giving your opponent cancer. But because there's not many ways you can kill the shades off yourself without also using a cheap shadow spell like Mortal Coil or Touch of the Nathrezim, your opponent has the chance to silence them before they do real damage.
There is a world where this card is auto include into all warlock decks. Because even if you never played a single shadow spell, this card is still putting out quite a board, and your opponent will never chance leaving the shades alive for you to trigger it.
The video clip on NGA seems to suggest their Deathrattle copies the last Shadow spell casted before this was played, so there shouldn't be any surprises from that front.
I didn't manage to watch the video myself, but does the deathrattle explicitly spell out the spell it would cast? Otherwise it might be a generic "cast the last shadow spell casted", which means it should copy your own Mortal Coil used to kill it.
Hard to say since the clip is in Chinese :D but the animation shows Shadow Waltz pop up when the tokens gain the Deathrattle so I expect it's spell specific at that point.
I also noticed that the Blizz-given reveal link doesn't work, so here's the actual link to the reveal thread.
Zoolock back?
