Honestly, this seems like a solid update. Night Lords, Iron Warriors, and Alpha Legion already felt pretty lore accurate, if a bit weak meta wise. This seems like it just builds on the already solid lore foundation since murder as a mechanic is on par for what the Night Lords are all about (just needs some sort of madness mechanic now) and I'm excited for what they have in store for the Iron Warriors who are badly in need of an update
Cool that they're reworking Alpha Legion, but I'm not really sure what they'll do with these 3 legions. Their mechanics seem perfect when compared to their tactics in lore. Hopefully they'll do Malevolence rework next. Maybe I'll start collecting Blood Angels then.
I can feel Salamander users cringing in horror as they realize Murder triggers if you deal excess damage, not if you actually kill the troop. Survivor will let Night Lords double-dip.
EG playing it safe. Though I'd say when it comes to a Legion that had the least favourable naming condition for their mechanic. It would be IH and their Pride, they could of used resilience or grit.
(Seriously though, stats 5/4, Terror, Stealth, AMBUSH GIVE ENEMIES -2/0 … FOR 4 ENERGY There’s even a 1-energy card that gives all enemies -2 attack. And Terror gives you a completely free kill, no reprisal, as long as you’re at least 1 attack lower. And they get a ton of Attack for their card cost. And the deck is full of -2 attack effects. Which means they can set up board states with high attack quickly for low energy cost, often with Flank and stealth, and if you put anything down to answer it’s going to get -2’d and then killed for free. SERIOUSLY, *WHAT*)
Attack on Tsagulsa may getting nerfed, because as it stands it has the capability to become the Night Lord's personal Virus Bomb since, if it deals 2 damage as part of its Murder, and that Murder effect overkills something that had 1 health, it will proc Murder again and do 2 more damage, which will overkill anything on the opposing side of the board that had 3 health to start, and so on and so on. That means it can theoretically do 12+ damage to the enemy Warlord if their board is stacked, and deal that same damage to the rest of their board, all for 4 energy and WITHOUT dealing damage to your side of the board when you play it.
@@RK-hx4hr It's conditional on doing overkill damage, so that makes it less broken, but the Murder effect is tied to all damage the card deals, not just primary effect damage. It's niche, so it might not get nerfed, but it's something important to note.
@@RK-hx4hr Yeah, the effect is when the card deals excess damage during your turn. This is ANY damage. Hell, if you really wanna proc murder just chuck it into one of your own guys and instead of potentially only doing 3 to one you do 2 to all.
@@Brutalyte616 Damn, that is insane. If that is true, then this card will surely be nerfed immediately after release. Displaced civilians guarantees 4 damage to the enemy board for 5E if you use it in conjunction with killing a troop in that case. That is way too strong. I am liking the murder mechanic though. It will be nice to see displaced civilians and darkening skies see more use.
@@RK-hx4hr Uh, not quite. It'd do 6 damage; one instance of 'Murder: Deal 2 damage to all enemy units' for the original target, then two more instances of Murder for the Displaced Civilians. And if you were to use it to overkill your own unit and manage to overkill a third enemy unit with the 6 damage from the Murder? That's 8 damage across the board.
@@z-mkgaming7464 7 energy,and the nigthlord version is a madness,you can instakill 6 troops in the same time,for one reason the chaos versios afect all troops and not only enemy troops,the balanace, because is so powerfull
Also a 2-cost that can reduce all cards’ attack stats by 2, as well as a bunch of other troops with the same effect, when Terror gives you instant kills for no reprisal
@@Brutalyte616 what they really need. Once they're done with all of these, is making a Legacy shop. So for those who want to experience the old faction in Legacy or complete their old collection, they would be able to grind for more.
@@gamechanger8908 You can still get the old cards from random crates, they just aren't actively promoting them in the shop anymore since they're getting phased out of Standard play.
@@Brutalyte616 yeah I know, I just thought they'd maybe stop at the Istvaan stuff. Im Kinda Upset that all the old cards are just kicked out of the regular game and get shunted into legacy
@@eoctv4896 Why would they stop? This new wave of revamp and support for ALL factions is supposed to be EG's last hurrah with Legions before they switch over to Warpforged full-time.
Does the murder effect activate even if the troop dies doing excessive damage? similar to the dark angels' mission to destroy a troop and is activated even when it is also destroyed

Hoo boy, imagine they made Konrad/Night Haunter or any of the Epic Warlord have.
Murder: can act again.
that would be disgustingly strong, I would love to see that
We better get a damn Psyop mechanic for Alpha Legion. if we can’t use the enemy against itself then I’m gonna scream
Murder sounds like a very Night Lords mechanic. Also encourages going after weaker units. Thanks for the video.

Unhopefully, they will do Prospero rework next. And between Prospero and Malevolence, there's also Calth.

Night Lords player: Why won't you be murdered?!

P. S. I have to do this pun.

Basically overkill
Don't make me come back brother😅
instead of "murder" the mechanic should've been called something like "cruelty", "desecration" or "torture"

...So they start replacing all the legions, huh?
They've been doing that all year. And the old cards are still available, they just aren't 'standard' anymore; they're Wild now.
