brode on Shudderwock

Brode: If you're playing a deck with lots of battlecries, this guy might have 20 different things he does when you play him late in the game. It's quite the spectacle. It says targets chosen randomly there, but it's not that random. You can choose which battlecries are going to go off, and often battlecries don't require targets. For example, Corpse Taker says that if you have divine shield, taunt, fury, you get those things when he comes into play. Now Shudderwock has those things.

If you play Saronite Chain Gang, that makes an exact copy of itself when you play it, and also Shudderwock will make an exact copy of itself when you play it. You can choose battlecries that are especially good to go off with Shudderwock for insane turns.

Baleful Banker is a neutral minion. Choose a friendly minion, shuffle it into your deck. If you play Saronite Chain Gang, so you have an extra copy of the Shudderwock, this will trigger on that and shuffle it into your deck as well, so you have infinite Shudderwocks, which seems terrifying to me.

I wonder if Shudderwok summons a copy of it self if you've played Saronite Chain Gang or just another saronite.

*edit* ok I guess that answers that

There's a few more with Brode just describing them, no images.

Cauldron Elemental, big elemental, and it gives your other elementals +2 attack, which turns things like Fireflys into real threats.

The Quartz Elemental is a Priest card. It can't attack while damaged. So it has way higher stats than we would normally give you for 5 mana, but it does require some upkeep. If you smash into a minion or get a valuable trade, you have to spend multiple turns healing it up.

That's when maybe you play the Nightscale Matriarch, which triggers every time a friendly minion is healed, and you continually summon 3/3 Whelps. I think that's all the cards we have to show today.

Lol warlock can now run board clear combos instead of priest with curse of weakness and mossy horror. Seems ridiculous, not sure if they'll bother since they have other means too.

wabubbyshubshub looks like one of those legendaries that will be trouble for them on the future. I love that card already, I can't think of how many ways that card could go.

There are a thousand ways to make fun shamblewompus decks and only one will ever be played and it will dominate other control decks.

Nothing like printing a legendary that is going to chokehold battlecries they print right at the start of a new year.

Is that all the Hunter cards? I guess Hunter is yet again having to hang their hat on the same cards they've been relying on since forever: Houndmaster, Highmane, Bow, Animal Companion, KC, etc. etc. etc.

I expect a nerf on that at some point because it completely breaks the game in some way. Unlike Yogg, it's actually not random, it's going to be competitive and you can already OTK with it.

If you can build shaman deck that can stay alive and just draw, it's doable.

So you can have infinite shudderwocks? How many twisting nether I can put in my deck?

It's kind of hilarious how much better (and easier to set up) the shaman legendary is over the rogue legendary and only costs 1 more Mana.

Yeah, I think they found with KaC players just went straight to dungeon run and never spent any money.

Baffling to me. Yeah, it's fun, but...there's no reward, really, aside from one card back. I can't believe they don't even throw a measly amount of gold or dust at you in that mode. Hope it's different at some point for future single-player content.

Yeah annoying that they are delaying the single player stuff since Dungeon Run is probably the most fun Hearthstone mode ever.

In other Dungeon Run news: I FINALLY FUCKING WON AS PRIEST. All classes down finally! My priest deck had several C'Thun picks, but more importantly had Wish and Primordial Wand. Each of which won me games, though Wish almost lost me the game against Togwaggle at the end. Primordial Wand was the game winner though for sure. 8x Adapted C'thun's Chosen (was like a 16 attack/windfury monster to murder the final boss felt pretty good.
