You are correct, the opponent won’t have a turn to react to it, they will have 2
I lost mine too. I think after a ban you get a trust level decrease. Just when I thought Blizzard had hit a new low they surprise me… 
Also I think this minion is bad. Rush on a minion that cant do anything for 2 turns? Meh.
the idea of rush is that the minion can attack immediately.
would have just been better as a 4 mana 3/5, trash tier pack filler.
Yeah, dormant feels soooo slow.
Have I got this right? If you played this Turn 2 then it would “wake up” at the start of your Turn 4? or does it wake up at the end of T4?
And this in a nutshell is why this whole self-policing through flagging posts thing is inadequate. Post history is not accounted for, only the posts which are flagged enough to alert the mods. They arent active here, they just wait for the blip to show on their screen and then, 10 hours later, may or may not do anything.
I dont think anyone from the old forums expected me to keep my TL3, least of all ME PERSONALLY, but this whole trust level crap only serves to PUNISH active, constructive, posters long term, without mods who are actually active here, instead of waiting for the red light on their monitor to go off!

At the start. Watch the demo of Imprisoned Observer on the Playhearthstone Ashes of Outland page. It’s played on turn 3 and awakens at the start of turn 5, before the draw step.
So this played on turn 2 would be able to attack on turn 4.
I mean I can see Shaman using Dormant decently since Overload cards are usually good tempo for the base cost at the expense of nerfing your next turn but with dormant you get above the curve stats at the expense of tempo so you could balance it with the tempo gain from Overload cards and get a nice flow of your mana usage when Overloaded.
What? How? Which wife you tickles so some guy made you lost it?
After reading the rest of thread, so just a report can made someone lost it huh?
And yet blizz have a quite frequent response here.
… Say what?? lol
No, I’ve been actioned a couple times before on here, so this time they ratcheted it up to a full temp ban, which knocks down my trust level.
Temp ban? You?
Modd should ban the rest of us trolls before aim at you.
Well, popularity have its own toll it seems.

And the clincher of this BS system??? Even if you go a year without further account actions, you will be ineligible to regain TL3 'cos “ever had a ban” is the criteria, not last 3 months like all the other criteria are.
Enjoy being a pleb like me, Wardrum 
(@mods, if youre reading, which I doubt, at least mine was deserved. cant say the same for Wardrum, nor Urza!)

Double post, sorry…
Put it to you this way;
Idiot
Liar
Child
These words are taboo for me. I call (or imply) another forumite is any of those, I get the book thrown at me…
Meanwhile, its perfectly fine for other posters to call their opposition in the debate homosexuals, without penalty. So, yeah, make of that what you will.
This discussion is now over in this thread, go here if you wish to continue it:
As its a more appropriate thread for such discussion.

I got banned because of my top 19 im so sick post which got flagged and they reported to me as trolling. Unreal to me. If you read my post I think it was evident I was trying to make lighthearted attempt at some humor in these dark times and in response i get banned and now cant make image posts for a year you guys say? No warning. No explanation. No attempt at communication with me. Just ban hammer. Bam. You done. GG WP Blizzard. You made me go to dark side.

I have had similar ideas multiple times. I have learnt that while intention may be good, the contents may not be suitable for the audience here.
A setback can be beneficial if we learn from that experience.
In a “normal” deck, this is a very average minion.
if I’m stretching for upside however…
Quest Druid could play this in the very early turns, and get an even bigger swing around quest completion.
Paladin could play this on 2, have it active just in time for a Blessing of Kings.
Highlander Mage, Priest or Slow Warrior decks could just play this on 2 as they don’t usually have a lot going on with the early turns anyway.
The more I think about it, the more I see the Dormant mechanic as a tool for slower mid-range and control decks to “store mana” for a big swing turn.
You play your Dormant minion, next turn board clear, and the turn after that you are already on the board without having to spend any mana, which is actually pretty powerful if it all works out.
However the fact that these cards have no immediate effect makes them totally useless in decks that don’t draw/generate many cards and/or are aiming to finish the game quickly.
Fast decks can’t afford to draw a Dormant minion late , as it will effectively be a dead draw, it will never have time to “wake up”, likewise decks that don’t have lots of other options can’t afford to be top decking a Dormant minion, it would just be too much of a tempo loss.
To use this mechanic well you need to be playing a slower deck which gives these cards time to shine, and you need to have other options in hand in case you need to deal with a board immediately( also this is why I’m pretty skeptical about the whole Dormant thing, in Hs you nearly always want to deal with the enemies board right now, leaving minions up can usually be punished pretty hard, so I can see Dormant just being too slow and predictable)

I got a single 24 hr ban for correcting something about BG that seemed pretty obvious, and afterwards saw my TL3 was gone. No previous actioned or anything. That was in December. I’ve sent multiple tickets to Blizzard asking for more information - it “seems” you can get TL3 back, even though my assumption is that you can’t, at least on HS forums - and I’m still waiting. Scrolling through and opening a bunch of threads when I set aside some time to do so. If there is one criteria, I’m probably am short of the 20k read posts from last 100 days but I have a screenshot from Feb 7 and am tracking.
Would really like that TL3 back to make some better guides.
