just met another highly skilled warrior player who used his 20+ armor / board clear spells until he did hydration station 3 times with snapshots as well as revivng them with boom (or whatever that goblin 7/7 guy is called that revives mechs)
so
i had to deal with ziliax, with poison, taunt, reborn, divine shield and elusive
a total of 9 times
and of course i couldn’t, i killed the stupid mech a total of 7 times before running out of juice
all in all
fantastic design!
the guy has 13 mana crystals endgame, and just cheeses his way through spamming zilliax
it doesnt die
he revives it if it does somehow
and then does it again
and it 1 shots any kind of minion I put out
I feel it’s really the elusive keyword that makes it insufferable to deal with. If i could target it with spell, silence it, freeze it, or even ping the divine shield, it would be a tad more fair.
Also, it is 4 attack, which make it impossible to deal with it as priest with cards like shadow word: ruin.
Least there’s another post for this. Frankly I barely beat one of this !@#$-bags with DK only because of stealing Zilliax early…but legit it should NOT take so much effort to stop one card.
Balance patch needed to be a “Emergency, next day” thing…I hate this !@#$ waiting for the following week(s)…
This Lamplighter !@#$ is also getting nonsensical.
What a joke launch, and I have a Hearthstone Community Tournament next week…
What I don’t understand is, why does Hydration Station create more than one Zilliax, even if they’ve only played one? At the least this interaction should be considered a bug and be fixed. Ideally, Zilliax gets nerfed (remove elusive or lifesteal) or just banned. It’s basically 100% play rate, any other sensible card game bans cards at 40+% play rate because they recognize that it’s unfun. Zilliax needs to go even without mech Warrior, but this deck makes this season unplayable.
Same reason Doc Boom resurrects 2 of them, (or 4 with Brann). The multi copy from the reborn / battlecry summon a copy. counts as a completely separate minion.
I watched the Kibler upload yesterday where the warrior purposely killed his own Unkilliax just to make sure (2) were in the ress pool
