Kil'jaeden just a little too powerful?

Anyone else feel like Kil’jaeden is just too strong? A never-ending deck of ever-growing demons. I mean, whatever deck you’re playing just has so many removal options to deal with the demons. I dunno, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if the demons were +1/+1 each turn but as it is it just builds to an impossible to deal with level too fast.

No because it does almost nothing against various aggro decks and even various combo decks that are a bit slower than aggro. It mainly hurts some slow control decks.

The slow control decks also have massively “broken” win conditions.

So you basically ask what broken combo is more broken on slow.

Well yeah it might be one of the better slow ones since it’s new.

It’s similar to what old school Big Priest did back in the day if you were playing anything Midrange against it and if that was fine then this is fine now.

No, it’s not too strong but it’s a stupid design IMO. If you are playing any control deck you need to have it but if both people do the game changes to a Tavern Brawl (the ones where you win or lose depending on RNG like Egg Painting).

yeah I have seen it a couple of times. I am guessing that since I tempo the hell out of people that more are playing it but don’t get to use it.

Also - random demons are trash in Wild.

Nah people have to play their do nothing decks that never play to win and only play to live for another turn. Kil’jaeden beats them in their own game by running them out of removal. It’s ok for them to run you out of threats but when you can return the favor and run them out of removal it’s needs to be nerfed away.

This is exactly the deck that kil jaeden goes into though… and unnecessarily lengthens the game and mabye even helps them high roll a win. I dont get why people think that the card is a counter for ‘do nothing decks’… its now the sole make up of ‘do nothing decks’.

It’s a powerful wincondition, and neutral, no less. Seems we are required to have these entities throughout standard. What was dude’s name, Denathrius? It’ll inevitably be nerfed, which may be how the devs are seeing it in that it’ll get worse as new and better demons are released. I will never understand how this happens, then that’s why I never created my own CCG.

It is not a frog, thus is underpowered if anything.

Is the most powerful card ever released in the history of this game for control x control matches, no contest.

But with so many powerful agressive decks and combos can deal 40 damage or more from hand without a board, this card feels ok.

Is it better than dead mans hand and purified shard?

Denathrius was dumb. It often was just straight lethal when played and when it wasn’t lethal you cleared the board full healed did like 20 face damage and had a 10/10. Kil’jaeden you just get a 7/7 then you have to survive for a few more turns before you start seeing the pay off. The cards are nothing at all alike. Denathrius ended games on the spot. Kil’jaeden takes a few turns to end the game unless of course you are in such a commanding position that a War Golem was enough to win by itself.

Yes, because requires only one slot in the deck and the treats become increasing in comparison with the dead man and don’t require the mess in the deck building as questline priest.

No… Not even close to that.

Demon seed was better
Wheel of Death is better
Sargeras was better
Shudderwock was better
Boomboss is better
… And there are many other examples.

There have been a TON of cards that are self contained inevitabilities that win the game far, far more effectively than KJ could dream of.

KJ isn’t even a particularly strong card. He’s just a decent neutral when you aren’t trying to actually win the game with real cards.
