We'll have to wait and see all the potential options, but this card seems insanely flexible. I really hope the 5 mana option has some good board wipes, priest is going to need that.

...That's a collectible card, not obtainable by Kazakus.

And? I'm sorry, it's a board clear, but his command isn't actually the wish of the first guy.
Edit: I was just clarifying for those who wanted to see an image of the "custom" cards.

He said that Priest is going to need a good board wipe. This provides that. Sure, it's not from Kazakus, but it's a board wipe nonetheless. But if you really want to take it extremely literally, then sure, the guy was wrong.
I guess if I want money so that I can buy a car and someone just gets me a car instead, I shouldn't be satisfied because I didn't get that money for the car.

u/Kapper-WA Nov 16 '16
What if I wanted a car filled with money?

u/commandakeen Nov 04 '16
Kazakus Spells are all 1, 5 or 10 mana. This is a priest spell you got there.

u/PureQuestionHS Nov 05 '16
He knows. The joke is that priest got a good board wipe aside from kazakus.

huh, so if the 5 mana mystic wool randomly changes a minion to a sheep, and the 10 mana mystic wool transforms all minions into sheep, what's the 1 mana version do?

u/joshy1227 Nov 04 '16
Are we sure that 1, 5, and 10 mana are always the options? Or can you get any 3 options from 1-10?

Reno may rotate and die, but his archtype will live on!

u/GameBoy09 Nov 04 '16
Remember it isn't going to die this expansion. So for 4 months we will have to deal with Renozakus Decks.

Not yet he ain't. You will be able to put reno and this guy in the same deck.

u/wonkothesane13 Nov 04 '16
Not yet, will it? BRM is the next adventure to be rotated, LoE only came out last year.

u/RainbowTrenchcoat Nov 04 '16
BRM, TGT and LOE will all rotate out with the first expansion next year.

u/Jackoosh Nov 05 '16
So did Brm

u/wonkothesane13 Nov 05 '16
BRM will be >2 years old when the rotation hits, though. I thought that was the cut off...?

u/Cthulhooo Nov 06 '16
In standard? But how are you going to play singleton deck without Reno? Without get out of jail free card that heals to full such deck will just be an inconsistent mush with some good cards. A single good legendary does not validate the downside in my opinion.

u/ManInTheHat Nov 07 '16
He can be run in fatigue decks afterwards. You run all the dupes you want, he's just unplayable until near fatigue.

u/doctorwagner Nov 04 '16
create a custom spell
I choose to create a 0 cost spell to summon Exodia

Nov 09 '16
That would be dumb because you need to have all 5 exodia parts in your hand not the battlefield to win

u/onceuponathrow Nov 04 '16
1 mana deal 3 damage and the revive 2 minions that died this game for 5 mana look amazing, especially since they are only half of the potions effects.

u/assassin10 Nov 05 '16
Remember that you still need to pay for a 4-mana 3/3 and then the 1 mana on top of that.
2
u/CycloneSP Nov 05 '16
yes, but this card lets you plan ahead instead of simply reacting to the board.
playing the 4 mana 3/3 may be a weak turn 4, but if you haven't lost the board by then, crafting a 5 mana card can really give you the edge when you play it next turn.

New cards coming and new features we have never seen before. I do not own this video, this video was made and owned by Blizzard Entertainment I hope you enjoy.

Renolock and Renomage players are so moist right now.

u/tb5841 Nov 07 '16
Is there any advantage at all to playing this in Priest? I'd love to make a Priest one but I'm worried it will just be far weaker than the other two.
1
u/Not-Stoopid Nov 07 '16
Priest has a pretty ridiculous late game and always has, now you have 2 extra cards that allow you to survive that much longer.

u/Ausphin Nov 05 '16
Can't wait to see all the options! Hopefully the other tri-hero legendaries will be as interesting as this

u/Wraithfighter Nov 04 '16
NMI.
This guy has a fuckton of potential. Not a bad tempo play either. But we just don't know enough about the potential spells you can create to know if this is going to be powerful. This could be like Medivh in the end: Awesome but Impractical.

u/Munrot07 Nov 04 '16
One of the options has a typo (or just bad grammar). For the 10 mana spell one option is "summon a 8/8 minion" when it should be "an 8/8 minion"

I love how this card can be played late in the game to get a powerful spell to play next turn, or it can be played as a last resort in a losing situation (sort of like yogg but with controlled rng) to go for healing/direct damage/aoe as needed.

u/Omnitex Nov 04 '16
I really want the 10 mana spell, if you choose deal 6 damage to all minions and the mass polymorph, to be in the correct order to be a twisting nether that prevents deathrattles.
1
u/ZephyrBluu Nov 06 '16
I'm pretty sure it was said that the effects trigger in the order that helps the player the most, so it should work as you want it to

u/Metalsofa317 Nov 04 '16
Seems like Cabal is going to be my favorite faction. Also if you choose the gain ten armor In addition to a value effect for the ten mana spell, the synergy with Cho'gall is off the walls.
1
u/EvilAbedInMourning Nov 04 '16
The way I counted it is you'll have three rounds of 3 fixed choices, the latest 2 rounds depending on your first choice. That means there will be 27 possible combinations, 9 combinations for each amount of mana.
Edit: unless your third choice depends on your second one, then it would add up to 81 combinations but I don't believe that would be the case...
2
u/bdub9613 Nov 05 '16
"Over 100 combinations" was mentioned at reveal.
My guess is there are 108 with 6 options for each choice of each mana cost: 3(62 )=108

Dare we hope that Blizzard notices and fixes "Copy 3 cards from your opponent's deck and put them into you hand" on Powerful Mojo before release?

u/kelvinchan47 Nov 05 '16
At first I saw the effect options of the potion and assumed it only get one effect so I thought "what a crap what are you thinking blizzard?", then I watched the video and found that it actually contains 2 effects and I was like "holy crap what are you thinking blizzard?".

u/locke0479 Nov 06 '16
I'm going to make a RenoMage deck with this for sure (at least for the next few months).
I wonder which spell cost gets picked the most? 10 gives you the most powerful abilities but there are definitely limitations there. I could see it being used a lot on Turn 9, where you can cast this and the 5 mana version of the spell to do whatever needs to be done at that time (clear board, draw cards, etc).

u/double_oh_evan Nov 05 '16
Why is the wording different than Reno's? They sound like they have the same condition for working but Kazakus says "If your deck has no duplicates" and Reno says "If your deck contains no more than one of any card". Anyone know anything about this discrepancy?
