Not too shabby!
5 health is pretty good.

I really like the aesthetic of all the build minions. But I’m a sucker for robots lol.
And this is pretty darn alright! 2 mana for a fairly reliable heal 5 or eat removal/10 damage before it’s built. The only weird thing is that it supports aggressive early tactics while also stalling you out a bit, which is counter productive.
Interested to see how people will use it, or if.
Meh, the immediate bodies, and utility of mystic outclass it imo

I can see the usefulness of it. Lets say your playing against an aggressive or a deck that wants to put you down to a certain health threshold by a certain turn. You play this earlier in the game to force your opponent to spend mana to remove it which could buy yourself an extra turn later into the game to do something, or it heals you and puts you out of burst/lethal range.
So the card has it uses, but might be too hard or niche to successfully use all the time.
Not bad. Toss it in front and they’ll punch it instead of trading board. Not worth hard removal, but then heals and grants a body. Again, decent lategame?
But here’s the problem with build. They’re terrible opening plays since they can’t trade or take a tile. Expensive build minions, on the other hand, wouldn’t be worth playing, as they’d be far too slow. But at the same time, you’ll need your nine or however many 2 drops, cheap spells AND THEN you’ll toss these in. These should draw a card when they finish building or something, running a build deck with decent opening plays will have the lowest curve of all time

Interesting minon, but the name? Does not fit in Duelyst.

Another non-Mech, wtf.
If played this could chill aggressive strategies. Not much point in going for the kill if you’re not sure you can finish things the next turn. I’m not sure this’ll work for Zir’An, she tends to need in-turn combos to guarantee value. If my opponent knows the RX is about to pop they’re not going to let me capitalise on it, a downside to Build counting down at the start of turns rather than their ends.

Love it! This is a pretty good tool for slower decks to play in the earlygame. You can pop this down and use the 0/10 to soak up some damage or body block. However, this is significantly worse than Healing Mystic and azure herald in the lategame, since you don’t get immediate healing.
Overall, any card that provides healing cannot be overlooked, and this little guy might just supplement the herald in certain slower decks.

Won’t be ran over the Mystic, but might just replace / see play alongside the Herald here and there. It can’t trade or contest, but it’ll soak damage like a champ. Narrow application for sure, but might be worth running on slow decks that try to reset the board state, anyway.

I would never run this guy over Azure Herald. Is there any good reason why the majority of the new cards revealed so far is horribly bad?

They can’t all be winners, if they were we wouldn’t have memes and you do want memes right? Don’t you…
(ominous music plays)
Sure I do want memes! But so far I didn’t see any new card which really intrigued me: most of them have uninteresting effects or are just bad.
I don’t know if this is just a problem of mine or if other players agree with me, but the cards revealed so far are not really creating hype. I still hope cool stuff is coming though!

I got to agree, there is a decent amount of cards spoiled so far that are kind of a letdown. How do we hope aboard the hype train when we’ve gotten some seemingly bad minions? Are more spells going to get spoiled? What about artifacts? I certainly hope the next few days are more interesting that what they have been so far. Maybe we even get something good today yet

Actually I think this minion is a good stall choice. Healing for 5 is big. And it is not a threat, so probably won’t be removed.
maybe it would be a good choice for variax decks

When will we get more mechaz0r support?
when we get a 3 mana apex that activates opening gambits
or something that duplicates opening gambits
Are we gonna get a Full Armor version of this? Or perhaps a Destroy Mode?
Maybe 78+ different versions of it?
