Creep intensifies!
Expansion spoiler: Painful Pluck (Abyssian)
Misread the card as Painful Prick at first.

So when it says prioritizes, does that mean you have a greater chance or it will automatically choose the space under enemy minions.
Abd if the tile is already a shadow creep, can it double turn essentially “creating” a creep tile where there already is a creep tile?
Any creep support has my approvement:)
Furiously places creep under every moving thing

IIRC - If there’s a minion without a Creep tile underneath it, it will get a Creep tile before it places Creep on a random spot.
After that, I’m not sure.

it seems like a pretty meh card, without the ability to choose where the creep spawns you cant guerentee to take out an enemy you need to like with sphere, speaking of which i hope we get a good draw card cause loosing spere as it is is quite painful.
I love it, I can play this and munch in Doom

It looks strong, it can generate 6 creeps for just 3 mana and I suspect more cards to push Intensify will come, so it’s likely an excellent choice for Creep decks
Mammamia, creep is saved! Almost.
Can any native speaker provide a simple interpretation of what the card name is supposed to mean? I can’t get a meaningful interpretation even with a dictionary…

Pluck is to take/remove something quickly and painful is, well, self-explanatory. So painful pluck is the experience of pain when removing/taking something hence the picture of a thorny rose.
Derp, sorry thanatos

More creep cards, yay! This is probably better than abyssal crawler in creep lists, even though crawler can produce more creep for 1 mana the abundance of pings mean he probably won’t live for long anyway. Bonus points for imitating ooz’s effect without risking your board getting wiped out by a T-Horn.
Looks busted. 2 mana or power creep.
I still don’t like it. In average you only get 3 creep tiles with this card in one match. Even with a good way to draw you might only get 2 copies. This is not good enough for 2 cards. It guarantees damage on minions which makes it similar to ghost lightning, but it doesn’t target generals, which is a huge problem if you are trying to close out a match or need to ping away on an artifact. It also doesn’t profit from other effects like ghost lightning does.
We need to see more creep support before we can draw conclusions, but so far i don’t see it doing much.

This card also “buffs” Darkspine Elemental. New AoE confirmed? Nice job!

so, this, loreweawer, munch, abyssal jugg and cadence
I think there are a couple of things you are underestimating, besides the Intensify support which is coming.
-
This card generates shadow creep below enemies, hence it also acts as a ping. If you manage to produce 2 or 3 creeps, you also have a mini-AoE, which can be very useful

I’m pretty sure we are seeing more creep cards, possibly with position-related effects. Say, something similar to Nightfiend, but better. Spreading more creeps to support these cards would be important
