This is awful. People are already complaining about how bad they get worked over by the rng, and this would be a new level of horrible.

It would be better to remove some access to poison and do more to rework bad heros.

Bring back Sylvanas and have her hero power be to destroy the highest attack or health minion on both sides

Yeah… no. It’s too random. I wouldn’t hate a Leeroy-like silence, where it silences the minion that killed it, but randomly is not good design.

Silence is 90% of the way to being a Leeroy effect. Only thing a silenced minion is good for late game is popping bubbles or being last man standing.

Mass silence would be most of the way to a mass poison. I like the idea of a silence (for instance, adding the Demon Hunter class minion Magehunter to BGs), but a mass silence has no place in Battlegrounds at all.

I’d wonder how Silence would work with Tarecgosa. I mean: without its effect it would be unsilenced after combat, but would losing the Silence enchantment happen at the same time as all other enchantments causing it to permanently lose them as well?

Oh. Nevermind. I don’t want to see any kind of silence anymore. Unless it was some kind of “only if Dragons is out” exclusive.

How about a minion like the windfury one that goes for the lowest stat minion and ignores taunts, but it only goes after Baron Rivendale at the start of combat before any other effects (like how even Illidans’ power allows his two outside minions to attack before a dragon whelp can fire off its fire blasts at start of combat). Just give this one highest priority of all priorities. you could nerf if to where it cannot attack otherwise, so its a tier 6 utility card you HAVE to buy if are gonna face a rivendale but you cant incorporate it into your build for the long run of the game. Could even make it immune to spells and spellcraft so you cant try to augment it with blood gems, bananas, naga spells, or DMF spells. Not sure how it could be made to be immune from taunt givers tho. That might be its only interaction allowed.

Or, a tier 6 super rare that gives all your minions divine shield if one of your minions is killed from poison. Could be the exactly right way to counter a George with fully Divine Shielded Poisoned Murlocs board if combined with the deathrattler that deals 1 damage to all minions when it dies.

turn leeroy into a hero and give him avenge 7 summon a leeroy

Obi Wan impression:

Thats no Hero, its a Board Slayer.
