fingers cross for my dying wish Vet

Probably won’t be a dying wish minion, but looks great.

Edit after card text reveal: Damn, its not a dying wish minion.

reminds me of syvrel and dioltas
Syvrel the Exile_attackDioltas_attack
but it doesnt look ranged
maybe its dying wish, but i feel like it has something else

and the card is up!

This card is insanely good

Slightly better stats than zenrui and it can take more than one minion, but it has more strict positioning requirements. Interesting. I expect to see some people (me) building silly decks to try abusing him, but I don’t see it being super powerful.

Sabotage just got nastier

I expect Vetruvian to get a lot more ‘lower attack’ effects and cards that pair off of that.

Good, Sabotage Vetruvian would be a nice third archetype for the faction.

This looks scary against swarm decks, imagine taking over a ton of enemy dervishes or Wraithlings.

I can see this being a devastating 7 mana play with the new Vet general’s BBS. Alone, it’s comparable to zenrui the same way Lavaslasher is comparable to dancing blades. But the fact that it can steal anything from Thunderhorn to Lavaslasher on 7 mana at any range makes it a bit more troublesome.

Interestingly enough, Vetruvian itself is the faction that is most vulnerable to this, due to their Obelysks having 0 attack.

If you haven’t noticed how you play around this card is the same as playing around blast!

Obvious synergy for the new general and a good card also for traditional Vetruvian decks, it will see play

Nice walls you have. :wink:

Dammit. I hate Vet but Sajj is my best general and Ciphyron is gonna be favorite. I’m gonna be a hypocrite if Brome and Ragnora don’t fit my style.

Neat!! WIth the new general and this unit, I can dust off my VeThief deck! :smiley:
With the same cost, it’s better than Zen’rui for sure!

This is going to be an annoying card for sure and possibly could make Vet. broken if the theme is continued by more cards. I mean, you already have blast minions to avoid on one row and firestorm obylseks, but now this as well? In addition, it seems like in the late game with the new Vet. general this card will become even worse being able at the very least to be able to take any 4 attack minion. Something tells me Thunderhorn and other postional cards are going to become very popular once the expansion hits because this is gonna have minions being played in such weird positions. General BBS’s that summon token minions will become a liability.

The card itself seems really cool, but I can’t help but worry about it will do to the game possibly making it more of a meta like artifacts and spell combos with little to no interactivity with the board. It all depends on whether the theme is continued or if this is just a stand-alone.

just hope and pray azure summoning gets nerfed otherwise we gotta hope vet gets power creeped into oblivion :slight_smile:
