New Warlock Legendary Spell: Deck of Chaos

Multiplayer Discussion

An interesting effect. Needs a fair amount of thought in deck building to take advantage of this.

For something labelled as a Deck of Chaos, this seems like a surprisingly consistent effect.

Edit: and the flavor text is: Yeah, it’s chaos, but it’s organized chaos.

Damn that looks insane , this is going to bring some crazy strategies to the class .
Super jealous hope Mage gets a spell like this or im going to play Warlock.

6 mana 2/2 would become 2 mana 6/2 ?

Or am I reading it wrong?

4

Correct.

Willow becomes a 5 mana 8/5 that summons a Demon from your hand and a Demon from your deck.

What an interesting and unique card. Who knows whether it will end up being any good, that is for the deck theorycrafters to figure out.

So it’s for a slower Warlock deck with defensively statted minions.

I’m liking this card.

3mana 9/15 incoming… LOL

YES !!!
" You face Jaraxxus , Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion "
I longed for the day i would get to play him again , hope its enouth to make him viable.

That 1/7 legendary that summons the 1/1s looks a lot better now too.

Augmented dreadlords benefit from this, as does Malygos.

Also innately pairs well with shadow flame/kelthuzad shenanigans.

The current question is whether casting a dead spell turn 6 to get a worse Luna’s pocket galaxy is going to be a viable option into this meta.

This will have people complaining about Net Decks for sure if/when someone finds that magic list. Stuff like Eggs would be 0 mana cards with good deathrattles for example that would gain attack for easy breakage. Rusteed Raider would be a 1 mana 5/8 taunt with rush and +3 attack battlecry. Then you have stuff like Twin Tyrant a 4 mana 8/10. The trick would be making a list that’s good enough to still have a chance when Deck of Chaos is bottom deck.

This could be good with a bunch of the Handlock stuff that we have from the DoD set. Abyssal Summoner becomes a 2 mana 6/2 with its own Taunt shield and Valdris Felgorge becomes a 4 mana 7/4. Zzeraku is pretty good too as a 4 mana 8/12.

Or otk with malygos, I’m thinking. A reliable way of discounting him will make the deck way more reliable. Works reasonably well with other dragons, can follow a clear with the 5/5 dragon.

polkelt on turn 4, this on turn 6 and then you can draw everything that you need

14

The problem with this + Polkelt is that you can’t run anything over 6 mana if you want Polkelt to draw you the spell.

My dream scenario, was that you have high cost stuff in your deck and you manage to play polkelt and then this card (already in hand).

So on turn 7 you draw your “highest cost card”, which now it’s cheaper

17

I like this card. It requires some building and planning around but the payoff could be worth it.

Cards that work really well with this:
Big Bad Archmage
Scrapyard Colossus
Lord Jaraxxus
Malygos
Ysera
Sathrovarr
Enhanced Dreadlord
Archwitch Willow
Fel Lord Betrug
Jepetto Joybuzz
Zzeraku the Warped
Twin Tyrant
Bonechewer Vanguard
Tunnel Blaster
Valdris Felgorge
Argent Commander
Kel’idan the Breaker
Onyx Magescribe

Lots of potential here overall

Rustseed raider came to my mind as well; a lot of taunts have low attack. Overconfident orc, bone wraith, etc. can set up a defensive shell, then Deck of Chaos turns them into huge threats.

This card is giving me Luna’s Pocket Galaxy vibes. Have it in the mulligan and win; not super excited by this card becoming meta.

So far the only drawback i see in this card is the animation…
Come on Blizzard its a Legendary spell you did way better with Lunas Pocket Galaxy.

I dont see the consistency in this card. Imagine filling your deck with big cards just for the payout of swapping their attack and cost and having it be the final card in your deck.
