Hmm, Priests get more Deathrattle synergy, but those cards don't really do anything to the board, which is the archetype's current major weakness.

I think that's why Reckless Experimenter was created. Any deathrattle minion die at the end of the turn and it gets a discount too.

Right now i have in mind some really interesting Cube strategies with that card.

Yeah, it could work. I keep hoping we'll find some way to gain useful synergies with things like Obsidian Statue but it's just so expensive that you can't effectively combo it. Still, Reckless Experimenter with resummoning and card copying mechanics... yeah.

Omega Medic - Rare Priest Minion; 3 mana 3/4; Battlecry: If you have 10 Mana Crystals, restore 10 Health to your hero.

Well that's a first Omega card that doesn't break Arena over its knee. Whee.

You know those awful runs I just had? I eventually went 4/3 with the final mage run. Anyway, I didn't open the packs immediately, because when I feel bad after getting a bad run I don't get much joy out of opening packs.

Well, I just went and opened all five packs, and the first pack gave me this.◊ Not the best pack I've ever opened, but perhaps the most statistically unusual.

Three Epics and a Legendary; not bad.

Blegh. Feels weak... honestly, how many times do you get to 10 mana where that kind of heal is relevant? Against aggro, you stabilize before then or you die. Against control, it's... a play. Doesn't really win you the game, just prolongs it. Against combo decks, it doesn't do jack.

Astromancer - Epic Mage Minion; 7 mana 5/5; Battlecry: Summon a random minion with a cost equal to the number of cards in your hand.

So class-specific take on Spiteful Summoner, I see. Where does this go? Big Mage? Elemental Mage in place of Mountain Giants? (less of a proposition now that Giants are Elementals) Generic Control Mage?

Celestial Emissary - Rare Mage Minion; 2 mana 2/1 Elemental; Battlecry: Your next Spell this turn has Spell Damage +2.

6-mana combo with Unexpected Results for a 2/1 and two random 4-Cost minions.

Cloning Device - Common Priest Spell; 2 mana; Discover a copy of a minion in your opponent's deck.

Giggling Inventor - Rare Neutral Minion; 5 mana 2/1; Battlecry: Summon two 1/2 Mechs with Taunt and Divine Shield.

New Doctor Five?

Edit: I can see it being a tool for both aggro and anti-aggro picks. Aggro because you get way more value for board buffs; anti-aggro for obvious reasons.

Token Druid and Odd decks can certainly make use of this card, if nothing else.

Zerek's Cloning Gallery - Legendary Priest Spell; 9 mana; Summon a 1/1 copy of each minion in your deck.

Well that... doesn't seem very good to me.

Well, that fixes Quest Priest right up, now doesn't it? Damn....

Or OTK Priest: summon your Velen, Malygos, 2x Radiant Elemental, boom. Or even Spiteful Priest.

I don't know how reliable it'd be, but it could see use in almost every current Priest archetype.

Edited by Fighteer on Jul 24th 2018 at 3:45:07 PM

That's a straight up OTK in Priest if you only run 7 minions, which most OTK Priest decks already do.

Though it's more likely that you'd have had to have played some of the pieces before turn 9, it's still good for getting the rest of them in your Graveyard to resuurect them.

Or you could just play Twilight's Call.

It will certainly find its place in some OTK Mind Blast Priest, if these are worth anything. It'll also break Wild over its knee as a fuel for Big Priest.

Actually, no, it probably won't. Expecting not to draw any of your big juicy minions/combo pieces before turn 9 seems a bit naive to me. About the only deck I can find it being semi-usable is Spiteful Priest, and you'd have to crisscross it with Quest Priest to not just summon seven 1/1's for nine mana.

You could summon them as 1/1s, then resurrect them at full strength. It's got some fantastic combo potential, but the mana cost is prohibitive. Imagine this with Spiritsinger Umbra on the board... probably too much to count on, but fun to contemplate.

+ Blood of The Ancient One combo. + Mimiron's Head combo. + Murloc OTK in wild? + some Grand Archivist synergy.

Why cloning theme, tho? Mind control was the one I bet on.

I imagine 'cloning' was an attempt to science up ressurection-style mechanics?

I mean I would think Frankenstein would be best for that, but maybe someone else will be getting frankensteiny cards. Or maybe they wanted to hold off on that after just coming down from a horror-themed expac.

• Blightnozzle Crawler - Rare Rogue Minion; 4 mana 2/4 Mech; Deathrattle: Summon a 1/1 Ooze with Poisonous and Rush.
• Star Aligner - Epic Neutral Minion; 7 mana 7/7; Battlecry: If you control 3 minions with 7 Health, deal 7 damage to all enemies.
• Cybertech Chip - Rare Hunter Spell; 2 mana; Give your minions: 'Deathrattle: Add a random Mech to your hand.'

Pogo-Hopper - Rare Rogue Minion; 2 mana 1/1 Mech; Battlecry: Gain +2/+2 for each other Pogo-Hopper you played this game.

Wonder if it works with itself, as in: Coin it out on turn 1, then Shadowstep twice for a turn 1 5/5.

Oh, lords, I can see that abused.

Hah. Combine that with the new Gang Up minion and other such bounce.

Though Gang Up on Strider is probably still better for spooder value.

Omega Assembly Rare Warrior Spell: Discover a Mech. If you have 10 Mana Crystals, keep all 3 cards.
