Tier 5 quilboar
Start of your turn, your blood gems have +1/+1 this game.
Why is this different from the rest of the game? Why is it not an end of turn effect?
Do not even try to say its because of Drakkari Enchanter, every other tribe can take advantage of it, quilboar aren’t special. Elementals the biggest offender obviously.
So why do Quilboar have to be different?
its because of drakkari
If its because of drakkari, surely they would have no issue giving the Pokey Thornmantle treatment to Elementals if they need to nerf them right? Let’s turn all the elemental card effects into start of turn effects.
Left over Effect from when it was last changed and hasn’t been updated. To be honest it’s too slow to be a playable minion anyway. There are far more efficient ways to scale gems for QB’s especially since QB’s are all about combat gemming in this meta.
I guess if they wanted to buff QB’s they could change to end of turn but even then i don’t think QB’s really have two slots to waste on that minimal setup.
Well yeah, all due to there being a lesser trinket that scales blood gems with an avenge proc. You can seriously grab a bunch of undead/beasts for a while before having access to a proper tier 5 QB set up just to proc that trinket a bunch of times and it would work far better than Pokey Thornmantle. Nevermind the timing, Pokey just straight up doesn’t help you until your NEXT turn. Also nevermind the fact that Pokey is tier 5 for gods sake, they could even bring him down to tier 4 at this point.
I don’t even think it would be an overpowered thing to fix him. The reality is that if you don’t get that lesser trinket, you aren’t playing quilboar anyway because without it you need to transition to a different board state anyway.
There’s quite a few problematic minions this season. They are either too good or worthless and never taken. Need a BG balance patch. They usually have one out by now.
