Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!

That looks pretty darn interesting to me! I’ve actually been looking for a Naga effect on an Airdrop, and now it’s coming!

The card is pretty crap but the animation is so good!

whaaa… the card is not crap… It reeks of hailstone Prison…

Also it is just fine as Egg / Heartseeker removal

I don’t think this minion will see play even in Gauntlet.

Even if you had 3 of these cards in your hand, why would you play this for 4 mana!? Very few factions, if any, would need this AoE especially considering the weakness of the damage and the body. If they maybe increased the stats to around 4/4 then this would be better, but no. The effect is weak and even moreso due to the fact that you need to use up 12 mana to get a 3 damage AoE. At least make it 4/4.

It’s okay as ping, but not for 4 mana. Who knows though, maybe I’m wrong. But without a doubt, this card will only be good in certain factions that don’t have a 4 drop. Maybe Titan?

The art is pretty dank though.

When I first saw the art teaser, I thought it was gonna be the Abyssian legendary.

You absolutely forget the Airdrop. Just because of its effectiveness against Reva and Ragnora this minion is worth the slot in Gauntlet.

Think of it as Naga that trades the first damage output for Airdrop and then gets better.

Even then in Gauntlet, you would have to have a bad general or bad faction. 4 mana for a 1 damage Immo?

Airdrop, I took into account. It makes the ability more practical, but 4 mana?! There are so many other cards I would rather be playing on 4 mana. Loreweaver is better for 4 mana.

There is a huge difference between 1 and 2 damage. You can kill a lot more things with 2 damage and general attack. Even with airdrop, there are few situations in which 1 damage AoE but airdrop is better than 2 damage AoE.

I really like this card for some reason, even if this won’t turn out ladder worthy I will certainly be able to play with it in the gauntlet :heart_eyes:

For some reason I really like this with Consuming Rebirth…

This is the closest to makantor you can get in abyssian…

Also… this reminds me of Grinchs Orbital Bombardement (Planar Scout+Holy Immo)

Seems pretty good for me. Understated, yes, but Abyssian revival and Vanar revival and hand returning may actually be good with ANY intensify minion.

As it is, it’s still 1 dmg AOE that can matter against mentioned Abyss and Vanar.

Clearly a bad card: worse than Frostbone Naga on its first use, exactly like that on its second use. It’s just too slow to be good

And the Riftwalker will also grant me my 3 wishes for increasing aoe anywhere on the board!

I like this more than skorn naga and gnasher since it basically combines all their AOE and keeps all their issues

I, for some reason, really like this card. It’s an Intensify card that I find really fun, particularly because the thought of reviving something near enough to be a small nuke is very entertaining.

And its card art just looks divine!

I do readily agree that it’s more often than not worse than Naga, although depending on the level of support they give Intensify minions this could be really good.

I was “meh” on this card, now I really want this card
