Infinite DK Rez and Reska on Expansion release

Sure you could do that or like i said you could try and combine two different effects beyond the amalgams to it. The problem with all of this is that it shuffles into your deck and you might never see it again considering how fast games are.

You gotta think a little outside the box. You have another Amalgam and another Growl to imprint Chillfallen Baron onto. Now you have a Reborn Lifesteal Reska that also draws cards.

Thereā€™s a whole lot of stuff you can do.

Iā€™ve got a deck ready to go day 1 for DK that has a way of also getting infinite Death Growls if you want. There are a ton of ways to take advantage of this.

In fact, once you hit Reska with the 1st Amalgam, you donā€™t even need the 2nd Amalgam, you just need the deathgrowl. So you can put 2 more deathrattles onto Reska as well with a base 2 Death Growls.

I do understand all the combo you are proposing i just question if we have the time to do it.

Thatā€™s why i was saying Saurfang. I play Saurfang in the DK deck i use currently and being able to replay the amalgam for 1 health makes the draw irrelevant. Iā€™m just not sure with how fast the game is if we have enough time in games to pull off these types of combos.

Reska is great until you face Warrior and then itā€™s a useless minion because the Warrior doesnā€™t really care. The power of Reska in the next meta will tie closely to how important the board is. If itā€™s not important the pivot will be to use it for something besides Reska.

Of course you play to your matchup. Against warrior youā€™d amalgam Distressed Kvaldir or Stitchensew or Fate Splitterā€¦ lol, now I am starting to get excited :smiley:

I just hate warrior right now. The armor gain is just stupid at this point.

Absolutely gouge your eyes out boring full turtle.

Half the time I will just eat the loss and move on rather than waste the time.

Watch this not work and instead of shuffling Reskas it shuffles in Almagam no matter what minions the deathrettle gets copied to for some reason.

That would be a bug then, because this is worded just like Prelate and Prelate currently works that way with Undatakah.

Yeah and you can already Deathgrowl Floppy Hydra onto Reska/Rat for infinite reshuffle and double stats (but no enchantment retention like Amalgam gives). It will work as Schyla describes.

Yeah but that one will suck because it only does that deathrattle once and then itā€™s done. sort of pointless

Just pointing out that Amalgam should work as described, since a similar reshuffle deathrattle already does reshuffle the correct cards.

Itā€™s still a board-based deck and as such it has to be overpowered to see play

If it gets broken, you just pick Nature shaman and farm them, np

Itā€™s definitely not gonna be among the biggest problems next expansion

Oh for sure it wonā€™t be broken. Itā€™s a slower combo, Iā€™m just letting DK players know it is a type of combo that will exist and will be fun to play thatā€™s all.

You likely wonā€™t see anyone doing this.

This is a late game combo that requires 4 pieces, of which 2 of them are legendaries meaning that there is only 1 copy of each. For it to work, you need Reska to already be dead as well. Even then, this isnā€™t an OTK, so its especially bad as a late game combo. Plus, after you do this combo, you still need to draw and play the rat, so if anything this is a multi-turn late game combo.

By the time that this comes into play, the game is over already, and if it isnā€™t, then this is more of a win-harder win condition.

Honestly, this should be expected from DK since resurrection and recursive gameplay is arguably the only unique identity that DK has besides corpse, which itself is more of a secondary resource system.

If this did become too strong, i could see them reworking the card text on the amalgam so the deathrattle was just to shuffle it into your deck and the ā€œkeeps buffs permanentlyā€ was separated from the deathrattle effect. So you couldnā€™t get infinite copies but just single copies of reska and the excavate reward

Iā€™m curious about the infinite deathgrowls. Cause then you can saurfang and reska a lot, which might be a good combo on its own.

Starfish does nothing. What Schyla is suggesting you do is transfer amalgums deathrattle onto Reska, Not the other way around. That way after you play zero cost reska, it rushes, dies, and then goes back to your deck. Your opponent cant interact with it with anything but dirty rat

*well as of this expansion they could use Hamm, even though that card isnā€™t good on its own it will probably see high play due to the druid cards being very good to tour in warrior

Thereā€™s a way. It wonā€™t be good, and never see play, but it is possible if you want to meme hard. Minions that discover spells can be given the amalgam deathrattle if that helps you.

Absolutely terrible and slow, very similar to Elekk giving infinite spells. Wonā€™t see play at all but fun to think about.

Thereā€™s also Fizzle ways. Give a fizzle the deathrattle, too.

That would be absolutely toxic beyond belief if DK ever got the right cards to play a full rainbow control DK that was on the level of old triple Blood.

Yeah lol

My current deck I plan on doing this with happens to be rainbow. Thereā€™s no cne in it because very little corpse spending.

You can take out half the mining cards plague dk uses now since you donā€™t need to double mine for 2 rats now.

Itā€™s now built more for handbuffing since so the cards keep those.
