Zephyr is a trash on empty deck

Okay, so this zephyr supposed to be super card that can help you in your current situation? No. Every time I use it on 10 mana I get Tirion, Doomhammer and one more trash card.
I agree that it can help you to make a final hit or remove some secrets or remove full enemy board, BUT! Developers must work on this card and edit its logic on 8-9-10 mana!

Simple examples:
I have empty deck. I can only win by “swapping decks” or using “chief nomi”. What do I get? Right, Doomhammer!
I have full hand with mechatun in it. Table is empty. I don’t need to attack with this deck, if you made specific mecahnics make your zephyr deal with them! But what do I get? Right, Doomhammer!

I believe this zephyr logic fits 500 lines of dumb if-else, and I know you can’t do it other way, but this is one of the cards that must be updated all the time.

Neither Togwaggle not Chef Nomi are Basic/Classic cards. Zephrys can only give you Basic/Classic cards, precisely so it wouldn’t have to be constantly updated.

In addition to Madmax’ reply, there are some other limitations for Zephrys and they are all fairly well documented. See https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Zephrys_the_Great

The most important rules to remember are:

  • Zephrys looks at minions on the board, but does not understand card text. (I believe Doomsayer is either the only exception, or one of a very few exceptions).
  • Zephrys knows how many cards are in your and your opponent’s hand, but does not know what these cards are. So don’t expect synergies with cards you are holding.
  • Zephrys sees secrets, but does not know what secrets they are.

There’s a lot more to this, but that is all explained in detail at the link I have included above.

It is still a SUPER card and favors only few classes.

  • The Tirion
  • mechatun
    These are broken cards and should be corrected, the value is way too much and it most likely a loss in most of the cases

Basically, the “perfect” card was a lie.

It is perfect to the extent that it is perfect.

In other words, it is perfect until it isn’t perfect.

Makes sense?
