The downside of the Icky Tentacles summoned is that they are 1/1s and as such are very easily removed.
Summon that many 1/1 Tentacles.
People don't how good this card is in so many matchups. These cards are not otherwise available except through crafting. And forbidden healing was a good spash card but not a meta defining nor deck archetype defining. Beyond that, it’s flexible, it’s good, and I could see it being played. - Source: Legend player running 2 of them and laughing at fireballs to my face.Once the dust is settled and refined decks start to emerge this will be in all control paladins.Healbot is better only in very few cases.Lets see the 3 most usual scenarios where you need healing.Against fload decks (like zoo):FH can be played with concecration or pyro+equality.Again 4 healing+board clear>8 healing +3/3Against burst decks(freeze mage):The more healing the better since board doesnt matter in this case,FH>healbotI put these scenarios at 6 mana because at mana<5 FH is better since healbot can't be played at all and at mana>6 FH offers much more than healbot anyway.So healbot can be equal or slightly better only if you need healing at 5 mana.So far my experience with this card has been astounding in control decks, it's good in almost every scenario late game:this is 3 holy lights in one card at 8 mana, and thats enough to still cast an equality or something beforehand, this card is going to make BabyRageI remember playing WOW and going against those healadins...So much healing your hero hp is on 10 play this card back to full it's also flexible.A heal to calculate based on your mana and hey, 20 if you're desperate, healing wave just got some competition.When I first saw this I thought it was a priest card and nearly lost it, imagining the t10 40 dmg combo with prophet velen and auchenai...So disappointed when I looked closer and saw it was a paladin card. Is it worth it to play a slightly better version of a card that isn’t played? It's not mediocre, but it's a strong addition to the cancerous fatigue paladin decks that are more annoying to play against than face hunter/shaman (imo). Similar goes for PW: pain of course. Eg Warlock has some of the best board clear spells in the game, so they leave out cards like 8 mana deal 5 dmg to all minions and doom destroy all minions, draw a card for each destroyed which would be fringe cards in classes like mage, hunter, druid, priest, or paladin for control builds.Yeah, it depends on class for sure. Maybe, but probably not tier 1.4 stars as a powerful card in a probably tier 2 deck.As Jed said in an earlier comment, 4/12 dragons now can be removed far more easily. Summon a random minion that costs that much.
Whispers of the Old Gods cards can be craftedfor the usual amounts of Arcane Dust. Against face hunter or aggro shaman this card will just win you the game, against freeze mage if they play alex, humility then back up to 30. the new favourite of the paladins, every one of them uses this card now.The point of any card in a control matchup is to trade one card for 2+, not always playing to tempo. Runs Forbidden Words and SW Pain…(Rating based on play it will see in the upcoming meta, similar to trump’s ratings)Very strong card which will be run in ever priest deck. But they are not and i am not replacing my potion of madness for low power removal. That is something priest always had trouble with.It’s a little more appealing than Shadow Word: Pain, but only a little bit. Assassinate/polymorph/hex are all much more efficient cards for dealing with anything worth removing, and while the comparison the sw pain is valid, sw pain is also a bad card that isn’t run in any priest deck anywhere, since using a card to deal with a 3-attack minion is bad against aggro and useless against anything else. Spend all your Mana. Damn. And none of them sees play whatsoever. Spend all your mana. Spend all your mana. Flavor Text Please confirm your age before reading this flavor text. Forbidden Ritual could work very well with Cult Master or Flesheating Ghoul . Forbidden Shaping is a 0 Mana Cost Epic Priest Spell card from the Whispers of the Old Gods set!. Card Text. So you didn’t have to waste a turn for 1 card.well i liked forbidden ritual the most anyway. true thing, specially standard with all these face decks
However its one of those cards that were designed to fit the gen/baku archetype that is going into wild. If this was a Druid spell, I’d give it 5 stars instantly. 3/5.it’s a priest card – that makes the difference here.it’s hard to compare the powerlevel of priest cards with cards from other classes.Removal is here highly class subjective. Spending 8 mana to kill an 8/8 is necessary sometimes, but not terribly good-feeling. Against face hunter or aggro shaman this card will just win you the game, against freeze mage if they play alex, humility then back up to 30.
As zero is nothing, its neither even nor odd.zero is actually an even number so just go look that up and have the internet explain it to you, he is right, just go try it out instead of relying on what the devs said a year ago.U got it wrong, when released they said that 0 would count as an even cardIdk what “Devs” you were watching but 0 is an even number irl and an even number in hsJust a Solid Removal, although the Lost of your Mana Crystals for it is a bit of a bummer, but I’d say it’s fair enough.It’s not really a loss this can kill anything with 0 to 10 attack it doesn’t stop you playing other cards you just need enough Mana remaining to kill it at 10 Mana you can spend 6 and still be able to kill a 0 to 4 attack minionwell it can remove doomsayer for free. This card does that perfectly, and also works well in an intense tempo match. It’s a fringe card but I just had to point out the ineptitude of comparing rogue class cards to other classes.Forbidden Words is a very flexible piece of removal and could easily replace Shadow Word: Pain for the next couple years. So far my experience with this card has been astounding in control decks, it's good in almost every scenario late game: 10 mana Equality + Consecrate + Forbidden Healing = Board clear and + 8 HP (Great for late game stabilization against Aggro/Tempo decks. 1.1. This spell is therefore cost effective against 1 to 4 attack minions.
Also, this can destroy a 4 attack minion, like Ysera or Malygos for instance.
