Felstring harp already exists and I’m not sure why people are forgetting about it.

Seems like a good opportunity for Tony.

Looks scary but won’t see play in standard.
However, all you Yogg loving cultists and random spell casting casino gamblers out there will certainly be the victim of this spell deservedly so.

Great point

This is true, but even with 10 full Mana Crystals, you would be left with 5 Mana leftover to stop the pressure your opponent is applying over 2 full turns.
It’s a best-case scenario combo.

They stole the card idea i had for a Pure Frost Mage deck lmao, mine had a 10 mana cost and it could only be played in a deck with all cards of the Frost element downside but the upside effect was the same.
Anyway on topic i think this will see play lol, in fact i want to play it.

You have to have all those in hand before playing this and not have played them previously. That’s a very tall order.
Meme for sure, but this never sees serious play.
Unless we see some super supporting card of course but I highly doubt it.

If you have Harp you don’t even need Tony to survive.
The real problem isn’t surviving the 5 Turns but finding a situation that allows you to play the ‘8 mana do nothing’.

Yes, much like control warrior, it isn’t a problem until it will be one.

The hardest part might not be to stall for 5 turns, but spending 8 mana do nothing for a turn.
It’s probably a control killer, control deck may not have enough pressure to win in 5 turns. I’d keep the card in ETC for those match-up.

A slow, expensive card with minimal immediate impact. Those are always the problem cards. Looks like a meme tbh.

This won’t be good ever in the history of its existence and that is fine. I think it’s a funny card but I am not particularly thrilled about this design.
If it’s competitive then it’s awful, and if it isn’t then what’s the point? Design-wise this just doesn’t make any sense to me.
The only real impact I can see this card having is being a miserable lowroll for yogg effects. Might outright make tendrils unplayable. A lot of the newly released cards lately feel like custom fanmade cards and that’s not really a compliment tbh…
Edit: on second thought, warlock already has a fatigue package and multiple ways to stop fatigue damage. Maybe there could be some way to cook with this but probably not particularly due to the 5 turn wincon.

Don’t know.
Casting It out of nowhere is different from using 8 mana to do nothing.
So it is arguably slighty stronger and cassino decks don’t care a lot if they have a deck because they just continue to generate.
Basically i’m would be slighty happier casting it randomly amongst other random spells than trying to set it up.
Still a bad card and would prefer to get something else casted btw.
Just be glad it isn’t Mage with this legendary.

Oh sure, I’m not saying it’s a great play - just that you can do it with Tony.
This card is a fantastic copy for my Tony Priest. I can definitely stall a game for 5 turns with that deck.

My thoughts exactly mate. Either it’s good and we’re in for an awful meta, or it’s bad and it doesn’t both, yet it still promoted the design of “win the game on the spot” cards we’ve been seeing like Odyn.

why not? It’s a combo deck like any other.
If you have 5 aoe removals in hand, you play it and you autowin against anything which doesn’t one shot you from hand

Every single deck is either going to murder you if you spend your entire 8th turn casting this, OR one shot you from hand on turn 12 or earlier. Possibly both

To be fair, Odyn is already basically a dead play on turn 8 (a vanilla 8/8 doesn’t do much these days) but the effect is much more immediately strong.
