Ancient Bonds Reveal Day 7 Vetruvian: Sirocco

#8

I doubt it will compete with Star’s Fury for the 5mana slot.

Seems to be the weakest of all reveal card so far to me, but I guess it’s ok, it’s Vetruvian, they’re used to it :wink:

With Death Knell, I was a bit suspicious, but with this, I am more confident that they will re-brand a few unit as arcanists and golems.

Skyrock Golem is already a card, it’s the 2 mana 3/2 Golem. This card isn’t good in vacuum, most aoe cards kill all the Skyrock Golems and Vet only has Inner Oasis to support a swarmy board, but maybe we’ll see some kind of synergy card in the expansion.

i think abyss will have to start packing breath of the unborn just to deal with the swarm thats about to go down

#12

I’d consider sunset paragon than breath, the healing part rarely comes into impact which is also a costy card if played only for AoE.

#13

Already have it for monthes on my CassWish deck, very useful versus dervishes and Lilithe swarm, also heals */3 creatures for a second round of spanking (RNG9Moons and Dioltas), love it.
And combine nicely with creep BBS to clean 3 health minions :wink:

Drop celebrant, then drop this card. Vetru swarm complete.

I, for one, am ready and willing to serve our new golem overlords, ALL HAIL SIROCCO!

#18

Wow that looks like a scarey card especially if there are other cards in this expansion. 8 mana you could have a ton of them and play inner oasis… That is if u can’t undercost either th e spell or the minion. I guess Ghoulie counts as being from the golem tribe so that’s three already

#19

Seems quite weak: low stats for 5 mana, has no synergy with obelysks so the 3/2 golems will likely be weaker than derwishes. Lower mana cost golems seem quite weak as well and how many 5 mana ones can you get in coupleof turns?

I feel like the expansion will require running extra AoE options, having just 2 cards might be too weak with all spam abilities, being added. Making this a dead card.
Being legendary doesn’t help it either. Not going to spend spirit on this.

In all seriousness though, just glancing at the card it looks really freaking powerful, like almost broken powerful. But it isn’t.

Golem Vetruvian isn’t exactly the greatest of archetypes if anything this card would be better if they replaced the word golem with Dervish. But then that’d make the thing borderline broken, assuming it procs off all Dervish spawns not just from the action bar.

So unless golems get a metric ton of support and Vetruvian gets more golem cards to synergize with Sirocco it’s gonna be one of those cards you just dust.

But hey, it looks pretty

Mmmmh… I like the idea of “buff-vet” in general so this card looks good,

The only problems are that lately i find lyonars buff options better and this costs 900 spirit (if they don’t use the Rotb orb style)

In the end, without knowing the other cards, this looks “meh”

#22

What is this assumption based on exactly? We only seen 1 Vetruvian minion so far not to mention at least 6 more Neutral minions are awaiting their reveal to impress us so I think assuming “Goldem Vet is bad” is a very rash assumption

Couple things to chew on.

1. What are Skyrock Golems? My best guess is 2/3 Golem tokens. EDIT: I’m an idiot and didn’t open up my Duelyst client

  1. This guy probably scales well even with low Golem counts if the tokens aren’t ability-less 1/1s. What this may do, is help build a shell that makes Vet not “lose to Variax”, which is nifty.
  2. Random placement is why people don’t like Corpse Combustion. I think Vet is better set to utilize randomly placed minions because of the bomb-y nature of their threats
  3. This guy continues to clog up odd numbered mana costs. Is it a conscious decision to make most particularly effective Vet tools 3/5/7? Kindof cool, but it’s been sortof irking me for a bit that even costed Vet tools have a habit of being mopey, with exception to Pax. Cool thing to think about in terms of Duelyst’s design

I know it’s uncommon to see this played but not to THAT rate…

Not to be patronizing or anything but it’s actually pretty funny how Skyrock Golems are so bad, people don’t even realize they’re already a card

o__O That’s actually better than I thought. Sirocco is Oasis fuel. Totally forgot about that little guy.

#27

Golem Vet isn’t the best archetypes based on what? The past? Lets see what would a golem Vet look like now

2.Golem metallurigist,Celebrant
3.Ghoulie
4.Hailstone Golem
5.Sir Rocco
6.Storm metal

That’s a solid base plus Vet is getting another Golem the pattern seems to be Magmar,Vet and Lyonar getting 2 golems and Songhai,Vanar, and Abyss are getting 2 Arcanyst.The key will be Ghoulie which can act as Golem,Dervish and Structure.I think Hybrid Dervish /Golem will be solid to very good after the expansion
