If blizzard was to print a card that was literally 10 mana 50% chance to win or lose the game. EVERYONE would run it. It'd be stupid not to as it could win you unwinnable games etc etc. In the same vein Yogg Saron is like a 40% chance to win 30% nothing 20% you lose and as a result its honestly not that terrible competitively given it can win you games you have no right to win. | ||

I feel like Mind Controlling a totem would be a better use of 10 mana. I'm pretty sure he cannot kill himself, even if he casts Twisting Nether, it would resolve before he enters play, no? | ||

I imagine smth like: -Vaporize -Earth shock own minion -Raven idol into a Stranglethorn tiger -Humiliate enemy 4-attack minion -Healing touch enemy hero -Forked lightning -Flame lance enemy hero I guess all in all... decent?? You can't flame lance heroes (; But I would like to see a thorough investigation into Yogg and I'm sure someone will do just that. | ||

Lol, that's fast, I did a 5 spell standard one: • Eye for an Eye: Secret: When your hero takes damage, deal that much damage to the enemy hero. • Effigy: Secret: When a friendly minion dies, summon a random minion with the same Cost. • Polymorph: Transform a minion into a 1/1 Sheep. • Betrayal: Force an enemy minion to deal its damage to the minions next to it. • Thoughtsteal: Copy 2 cards from your opponent's deck and put them into your hand. I dunno Kev | ||

I believe that as long as they prioritize that the game is fun to play there will be a competetive scene. | ||

It's definitely a card that has to be seen in action to evaluate. I mean unless you really want to run gobs of simulations. Kind of like how the people cautiously optimistic about Mysterious Challenger weren't willing to commit to it being good without seeing it in action first (Savjz tried so many versions of Secret Pally day 1 iirc). | ||

Drain Life: Deal 2 damage. Restore #2 Health to your hero. Fireball: Deal 6 damage. I just did a little look. There are around 200 spells to chose from atm, with a few more getting added. The vast mayority is 0-2 mana, and less than you think involve any kind of damage or attack bonus. The ones that can kill you: Holy Smite, Moonfire, Frost Bolt, ice lance (if frozen), Fireball, Hellfire, Hammer of Wrath, Arcane Shot, Starfire, Shiv, Soulfire, Kill Command, Eviscerate, Dragon's Breath, Lightning Bolt, Lava Burst, Pyroblast, Forgotten Torch, Dark Bomb, Crackle, Lava Shock, Quick Shot, Living Roots and Bash. So roughly 1/10 of a chance to cast a spell that CAN damage yourself, but most of them only do 1-3 damage and need to hit your hero from all possible targets. Hitting your own minions is much more probable, so this card is best played from behind! This card could end up being a pretty good deal! The chance of losing does not seem that high, but idk about the chance of winning either. There will probably be quite some stuff like force of nature into hellfire, animal companion into bashing your own huffer and the likes. I dislike the caotic direction this game is heading. Blizzard often just recycle old spells and minions by adding more weird places where they appear, especially mixing classes. This is the posterboy of that! | ||
