New Neutral Legendary: Vectus

Deathrattle synergy card.

I wonder how this works with things like Teron and Kaahrj that gain a deathrattle via Battlecry.

I’ll update the thread title when we have an actual name. “Fluffy Magician” is the placeholder name from Out of Cards post on this.

Are there even any broken Deathrattles in Standard for this to take advantage of? Because I only see this slotting into Egg Warrior, if that’s even a deck in the new meta.

Looks like it has the potential to do some absolutely insane things, but it might take a bit of deck building to make it work. We’ll need to see the rest of the cards to say for certain, but I’m optimistic that this card will find a home somewhere.

Not to mention that even without any DR synergy it’s 6/6 worth of stats for 5 mana.

The more I think about it, the more I think this will be one of the top tier cards of the set.

Maybe a few years ago you would run a vanilla 5 mana 6/6, but I’m pretty sure that time has passed. Especially when it’s divided among a 4/4 and two 1/1s, which is like the worst way to divide up those stats.

Good thing it won’t be a vanilla 6/6 most of the time then isn’t it, smiley face.

The high stat budget is just icing on the cake.

It doesn’t. 20 char.

That’s what I figured.

If they gained the actual Deathrattle that happened, that would be really strong. But this way, they have negative synergy with Vectus’ Whelps.

You can use it to get multiple Primes in your deck if you’re not Highlander. It also works well with Convincing Infiltrator and Infiltrator Lilian. This card will see some testing, but I’m not sure how consistent it will be.

I mean if rogue can get to turn 8 you can even shadowstep into having 4 lillians deathrattles

Might work ok in a DR Priest so long as you don’t hit Kaahrj or Shadowy Figure.

Baby N’zoth…

This seems pretty good. 6/6 stats for 5, even if it hit just Loot Hoarders, that seems fine.

Greetings, fellow humans! I actually like this card, it gives you immediate value from other deathrattles but also poisons the revive pool with terrible minions.

Shadowy Figure is actually fine, probably even good with Vectus.

Shadowy Figure doesn’t have a Deathrattle itself; it becomes a copy of the target Deathrattle minion, so it would just add an extra copy of the Deathrattle to the selection of possibilities for the Whelps to copy.

Yeah you’re absolutely right. This reduces it to Kaahrhdydywuduxhejrjsfjejnxcj being the only lowroll. In a deck where I’m running Shadowy Figures. It’s likely a value deck and tossing Reliquary in with them could land a lot of Primes in the late game.

This could be a lot of fun to tool around with.

Eggs and other things that summon minions are probably some of the most obvious things to do here.

Face Hunter-style deathrattles with Leper Gnomes and Kobold Sandtroopers, etc. would be funny, but this is probably a little too slow for that sort of deck.

I wonder if this could copy Talritha’s Deathrattle multiple times if it had been already passed around to one or more dragons that had died.

I think we can safely remove Waxadred from this list because in order to get the Waxadred DR to go off you have to play Waxadred. Call it a hot take, but getting extra Waxadred candles will not make Waxadred playable.

Thats right wax is too slow for Rogue atm. But looking at it on its own its still a great deathr. If Rogue would be able to play a controll style game it would be great. Atm it just isnt

I honestly like Waxadred as a card in theory, but it’s just never really panned out.

Rogue dont have the controll tools to create enough time to get value out of wax. Im not sure why a Class without heal taunt board controll good ae damage, Gets a card that want exactly this kind of effects to work.
