I think AFK might have a little bit of potential to fit in this sort of deathrattle Warlock deck. I think it is still too costly but "summon X" deathrattles in general have a bit of synergy to work with it.
Rarran's comment about card rating advice he got reminds me of an old statement from Firebat on how he played. He said always start thinking about a turn with the idea that all your minions on board are going face, and then look for reasons why you should trade instead.
Smart. One I'm playing face volley maul mage. Number 2 I think I'm playing maybe pain zoo warlock or 2 frost 1 blood death knight. Or warlock/death knight zoo? Is excavate still in standard. Excavate is good. Eliza goreblade. Although frostbitten freebooter and Quartzite crusher?
Yep, so you replay all of the cards you played this game. And if you don't pick a warlock hero, you also get all the warlock cards. Rogue is going to be my favorite class, with warlock and DK close 2nd an 3rd.
@@Reevo_ I was thinking... Final Fantasy? Kingdom Hearts? Then I sort of thought about Smash Bros, and eventually I got it. Then the next song was OBVIOUSLY Mario, and it all clicked.
I know I’m living in a dream world, but here’s the plan: You spend 4 mana to kill an opposing minion, then summon your a 1/6 Imp. Next, for 2 mana, you scar the Imp, transforming it into a 6/6 and drawing three cards. So, for a total of 6 mana, you eliminate an opponent's minion, draw three cards, and end up with a 6/6 creature. It sounds pretty solid to me, but of course, everything needs to align perfectly.
Thief rogue with spectral cutlass can use fearless flamejuggler to drop some cheap threats. I get my weapon usually to a 12 damage easily which means breakdance would go CRAZY. Also announce darkness once cutlass is established and viper is gone is good too for late game
announce darkness could end up being included to maybe salvage/highroll a terrible matchup if you have like 6+ neutrals in ur deck or just adding value/tempo, like it doesnt seem bad cost wise
Since the DK cards are revealed, I think that the deathrattle package overall just needs more activators to be good, you are really reliant on getting either Eliza (new DK legendary) or Horizon's edge to really start making your deathrattle tokens a threat beyond the intial 6/6 taunt or 4/4 (from an egg). Eat The Imp is good card draw to find those cards, however if you're able to draw any of those 3 cards consistently, I think there are just better uses for those resources like in Painlock. It's also possible the whole deathrattle thing gets completely cut for a cycle-token based deck with Horizon's edge (Eliza to a lesser extent), that card just seems insane.
Play ourobos with a single 1 mana minion in your hand and darkmarrow on the field, ouro dies immediatly and gives double deathrattle to the minion in your hand, you play that and it died immeddiately and summons 4 ouroboros. The problem is you don't have any minions left in your hand for your 4 ouroboros when your opponent kills them...
Imagine this. Its turn 7. You're playing warlock. You play A.F.Kay for 5 mana. You play 2 Party Fiends for 2 mana flooding your board. Thats 18/18 worth of stats on the board + a A.F.Kay (If it works like I think it does). Then you concede because you remember this is 2024 hearthstone.
The imp is effectively a 3 mana 1/6 with taunt. Sure, it isn't great, but that's absolute worst case scenario since if they DON'T kill it you can get quite a few 6/6s. Also, the taunts that pop out can be brought back with Endgame where even the current 4/5s excavates are annoying enough for aggro.
Announce Darkness may never be played in an actual deck but I am sure it will screw me over when Yogg casts it randomly and nukes my entire deck. Wheel of Death is my other favorite Yogg hit.
I think Rarran's understanding Sacrificial Imp completely wrong lol. 6:55 "If your opponent does kill this you also get a 6/6" That is very much *not* how that works.
hello Mr. Rarran I hope you are gonna read this comment since it’s pure genius, otherwise I’m gonna write this the next time I sub on twitch, BUT hear me out ourobos can attach to afkay if in you hand, therefore if they kill it you get an 8/8 taunt, it’s gonna be meta for sure. If you read this thanks for your time and please spread the word 🙏🙏
Uh... Wait a sec... Does Genn Greymane stack with Announce Darkness? If it does, that means you if you run even and play Announce Darkness, you get a Warlock hero power that's not even necessarily the standard Warlock hero power, which also costs 2 less mana, and every neutral, Rogue, or Death Knight card in your deck is converted into a random Warlock card that costs 1 less... I'm not saying that's competitive, but that sounds like an insane, incredibly unpredictable and surprisingly flexible strategy for Rogue or Warlock.
@@grit1 ... This requires testing. The Mandela Effect might be biting me in the ass here, but I could swear that Genn's effect just adds a -1 mana cost to whatever hero power you have for the rest of the game, even if you use a hero card or something to give yourself a new hero power.
@@Brutalyte616Genn has never worked that way, he reads "Your *starting* Hero Power costs one less" and hasn't had a text change since release You're confusing the effect with OG Raza's which is "Set the cost of your Hero Power to 0 for the rest of the game"
The card itself technically doesn't deal damage, it just subtracts from your current life like Fatigue does, so cards that track damage dealt don't recognize it for whatever reason. It sounds like a coding issue that was left in because they figured it would be more balanced that way.
@Brutalyte616 Actually they actively changed it after the rotation of Stealer of Souls (or whatever the name of the 4 2/6 that makes your drawn card cost health), to be more free from the bane that's The Demon Seed.
My question with announce darkness it: is it only the base warlock hero power, or does it include other ones like the upgraded one or blood-reaver gul'dan's?
It’s probably like Genn where the cost reduction is applied exclusively to the initial Life Tap. It’s not a constant -1 cost aura to your Hero Power, it’s a permanent discount on the one you currently have equipped.
Idk what chat is smoking saying Vona is slow. It isn't impossible to have it live on curve where you play a 6 mana 12/12 that literally wins you the game against anything aggro. Also, imagine saying a card is bad because "Reno just poofs it bro". Okay they literally every minion is unplayable garbage if we are setting that as the standard.
full aggro rogue that just throws his entire hand at opponent once he gets to like turn 5 or 6 if opponent hasn't died to aggro you use announce darkness and just become a warlock, having life tap at 1 mana so you don't really have the issue of having used your entire hand earlier
Smart. One I'm playing face volley maul mage. Number 2 I think I'm playing maybe pain zoo warlock or 2 frost 1 blood death knight. Or warlock/death knight zoo? Is excavate still in standard. Excavate is good. Eliza goreblade. Although frostbitten freebooter and Quartzite crusher?
Probably the worst set for Warlock ... 1 middle controle card, Deathrattle is useless and support for damage Warlock, with pala that will be the full aggro meta
Cant wait for the renounce / announce darkness battle with eddy

A 2 mana reduce the best hero power to 1 mana permanently is honestly worth. Even if it doesnt replace any cards.
You can mabye play it with genn, and then have a 0 cost, should work right?

@@kingofthekarps3066 what already, thats sad. Then i have to cool with the amalgam, i winder if sonya, copies the dathrattle with the 8/8 aswell.

Afk needs the dormant and buff treatment.
Announce darkness in the random spell pool is also something to consider
Cursed Souvenir on a Lifesteal minion denies the downside, no? That could be something.
That imp in warlock going into rouge with the elemental that discounts and pops deathrattle to make a turn 2 6/6 sounds nutty.
rotated and doesn't discount anymore
I think with each card, you'll have to think "does reno/zilliax shit on this?" to get a sense of how much play it might see
Rouge tourist will change your class and make all rouge cards count for other class bonuses like tez.
Haha, the flavor text from anounce darknes: "AHEM....DARKNESS"

In Wild: T1 Swamp Leech into T2 Cursed Souvenir for a 5/4 Lifelink with no downside. Big Brain Moves.
I'm gonna go with that Stormwind set that had the Demon Seed for most powerful Warlock set.
Felfire bonfire being a rolling effect is really scary. Kill a minion on 4, play an 8 mana deathrattle on 5

Thief rogue with spectral cutlass can use fearless flamejuggler to drop some cheap threats. I get my weapon usually to a 12 damage easily which means breakdance would go CRAZY. Also announce darkness once cutlass is established and viper is gone is good too for late game
announce darkness should reduce your hero power twice, if played twice. 0 mana warlock hero power seems freaky
Was confirmed that it doesn't.
On the second time you don't change your tap into a new tap, so no discount for it
Announce Darkness could be a really funny random roll from a yogg card
For announce darkness, does it mean that plagues in your deck become warlock cards ? Or is it only hand cards ?
You can also yoink ouroborous with shadow word: steal, which i will definetly be doing :)
