Happy feast of- Hallow’s End everyone!
So, today’s lecture from Bad Legendary Academy is about Dr Boom’s trademarked Replicator-inator. You might be thinking this will be a long guide given I technically have 3 cards to talk about right? Well yes, but actually no! As Mad Inventor and his “different” mech interactions are concerned they are clones, ergo they are legally considered the same minion (and will not be resurrected at the same time if 5 dies before 8).
With that out of the way let’s get into uses and misuses. 2 for each ladder game mode.
So just like last guide the first use I found for them was in Handbuff DK, mainly for the Brittle bone puppeteer Joy buzz full restock. But its uses can go beyond just defending yourself if you’re ever needing to rep a Hollow hound or a Porky Pig to do some damage.
The other deck in standard he helps out is the uhh Big Bad Wishing Wolf Shaman. Yeah I thought stars would be too much buffing but, sometimes the stars align and you can dupe Cho’gall or OG 0 attack A F Kay herself! As for proper usage? In DKs case I’d tell you to get the mini-inator out as early as possible even if you can’t capitalize on him just so Jepto remembers him. But in shamans case you want to try to use one star for a 7 attack 5 cost Replicator-inator then do the triple Slime star hit on the two you have left.
And now for the unorthodox wild strats.
So the first deck I thought he’d do well in wild with was a Dr Boom hero card mech deck, and he did in fact deliver! I don’t much care for what mechs lab coat Boom reses so long as it’s big, but a smarter person could capitalize on remembering which Replicator-inator died first. Whichever form it was be it medium large or extra smol, the first to go down is the first that gets back up again.
And the other deck? Not yet… Instead I will just tell you the Imp who makes my Wild Warlock go round like a big merry-go-round. Imprisoned Scrap Imp. Play first Replicator-inator as a bluff, it’s not important. The mini gets buffed to 3 attack, allowing it to clone the next scrap imp for twice the buffs! If you drop Imp King Rafaam that’s +6/+6 to everyone in your hand after they take 2 turns to throw books out of the Vile Library from 3 ressed (dormant) imps. Is it a mistake or simply unorthodox? Its me not caring if Rafaam is infused or not! I love both voicelines as they fit perfectly for ressing imprisoned scrap imps.
That concludes today’s guide, thank you for reading if indeed you still are.
Go send in the clones AND clowns, and tell them The Bluffalo formerly known as The Gungeoner sent ya.
