Instant staple. Can’t imagine why you’d want crypt over bbm, but I can see memes with both. Tempest Ziran will thrive :sweat:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE THREAD. BLOOD BOUND MENTOR HAS BLOODSURGE, NOT OG OR BOND. I JUST REALIZED HE’S MEGA INSANE.

I don’t think @eurasianjay would like this card. (he has definitely discussed this on discord)

@deathsadvocate

I think you might want to see this. It looks like the type of card the rewards the “interactive board based playstyle” you love so much. (◕‿<) *:・゚✧

The winter of Solitaire Songhai is coming…

This is nasty and I have no doubt it will be nerfed in the future I mean all the general’s who have token summoning BBS now get 2 for 2 mana, the new Vet general ideally will be able to take control of any minion with 6 attack or lower and it is only 3 mana which makes it a good staple since you can replace many other 3 mana minions in a lot of factions with anything else. Sajj can theoretically kill any minion with 8 health and below, Face Vaath will be hyper aggressive now I can’t even think of all the possible things that will happen with this card, but its really bad.

Bloodbound Tormentor or Bloodbound Mentor @epicflygon

Gonna stop there before I rant.

(not gonna make another post for this) This card is actually a worse Crypto BUT DOUBLE SPELL TRIGGERS.

Bloodsurge is way more value than og imo

You can price it multiple times sure, but this is duelyst we are playing here.where things rarely stick. The only use you can get from this is by playing Crypto.

This is a very interesting cards, especially in conjunction with Cryotographer. I’m looking forward to how it works with Faie, Shidai, Vaath, Geomancer, and especially Kara (basically bloodsurge: warsurge + add a 1 mana warsurge to your hand - just think off the wacky combos!)

This is disgustingly good. Sure, it opens up a lot of unique strategies, but mostly it’s just going to be used on top of already strong decks for its insane value.

This in Arcanyst Kara…
proc your Illusionists twice… four times with Crypto gain 4 monster Illusions
Circulus could become a 3/3 most of the time, important stats for the small girl.
make your walls really big… Game of Thrones big I mean.
Owlbeast and Conjurer just get double the value from your guaranteed spells.
You can reduce your bloodbound spell to 0 with Adjudicator… how about saving some Kinetic surges for… lets say Tigers?

Any further spell sproc card will be dangerous for the game. Especially if it produces minions

There is something worth noting here: Casting a BBS from your hand DOES NOT trigger Bloodsurge abilities. This means you can’t keep casting your BBS to use all of your mana while this minion is on the field.

I tested this back when I was trying to break the Vaath atk record using Mind-cage Oni, Alcuin and Abjudicator to fill my hand with copies of 0 cost BBS spells. Even casting them at normal cost (1 mana) does not trigger bloodsurge.

easy choice as to what my azure summoning set will transform into

In love with the art.

Nice potential for fun, interesting setups :slight_smile:

I don’t think that will be that strong. It is different from Cryptographer and serves a different purpose. So it could see play in certain spell heavy decks.

My favourite opener with Vaath is Crypto to get a super early 3 attack. This is with that minion not possible.

On the other hand it offers better value in the late game because it is not OG.

I don’t think there is a deck which has room for both minions, they aren’t that strong on their own and decks are always pretty cramped.
