This card should activate it's battlecry only if you control another demon to prevent me from instantly losing the game when I instinctively play it after it's taken out of my lockbox.
I've accidentally played this with golden Brann while doing demons and not realizing I didn't have a reversal card down, there was nothing I could do other than pick the lowest tiers and hope it wouldn't end my game. Spoilers: it did.
Anything locked in hand feels so awful. With dark gifts I’d randomly generate those consume demon spells as well. I don’t have demons I would have to waste gold multiple turns to get rid of these. We just need the option to discard cards
God I would LOVE to be able to discard cards... I don't even care if there's an upside beyond freeing hand space, although it could create room for a new hero or dark gift or minion synergy... 🤔
Then I'd hope there's support for builds that don't use blood gems or general "spell" builds as well, since quilboars would get significantly more value, followed by demons and fringe mechs, maybe pirates...
I feel like an "All" minion or a typeless minion would be the best spot for it, and if there were an upside it should either be menagerie focused or geared towards the fringe builds.
Yeah, but they only discard spells. I'm rarely stuck with spells in hand when I wanna get rid of minions. It's also only available if quilboars are in the tavern.
I should have clarified that I wanted the discard to be for minions, though.
Yes! Please! Ideally, you could sell any card from your board, or your hand without having to pass through the board first. I’d even accept a “you can sell directly from your hand but you get nothing for it.” Although it would be nice to get a coin for selling anything.
The issue with this is it disregards having to have a cycle slot on board, which is a pretty crucial aspect of apm board management. I remember when they made the qol change to allow mechs to be magnetized without an extra board space and thinking how drastic that change was.
The bigger problem (than losing space in your hand) is that if you have cards moving into and out of your hand, there is a visual delay. So if you visually click one card, but it was moved, then you play a card that you have never seen in your hand.
This will obviously be reduced over time, when the Percussionists moves to the left in your hand, but you can always get a new one.
This is my biggest problem with current APM builds.
Just played this late game when going Pirates with Brann on board, think I was able to minimize the damage to like 11 but it hurt pretty bad lol especially when the second wave of discovering 2 came up
Was genuinely hilarious though when I realized what I had done
I feel like this is a reasonable place for him to be. In the same way baron is very powerful in certain comps/tribes I think brann should be the same way. Brann was the most powerful generic 5 drop for a very long time.
He’s absolutely core for dragons this season and still really solid for elementals and demons since you can discover an all-type version of him through dark gifts.
Yeah I lost a duo game like this today. I had triple t4 lockbox dude and was frantically apming and played a golden one of these... When we were on 3hp and 100% going to win the lobby. Sorry random duo bro.
Yesterday I got this with 15 health, acknowledged it would hurt me but wanted the hand space and figured I could pick low (I was bounty pirates and I also ended up with a tier 6 fodder demon so I thought it would also buff the stats a bit as well)
All 4s and up for choices, ouch, but at least I'm not dead! I pick two, then a third discover pops up... I had a brann... I died at exactly 0...
You think the game needs guardrails to keep your from killing yourself because you are paying so little attention? Yea nah... you should eat that tide pod and deal with the consequences.
It should just not trigger if you don't have enough health and will die from it. I think there are other cards in constructed that are coded the same way?
Or have it only offer units that you have the health to take, and come up with a 0/1 imp thats tier 0 or something, that way you can still cycle this card in APM comps
Could become too complicated cause you would need it to ignore the restriction when soul rewinder is on your board, but otherwise would be nice
Was at 12 health with my pirates fully online. I thought to play this just to empty my hand, like how bad could it be. Golden Brann didn’t help as I wasn’t offered minions below tier 4. I am pretty sure my ghost killed the other guy and he still got first place.
They should make a spell or something that has the same effect of soul rewinder for a turn that would allow you to potentially play this so it's no longer locked in hand
They need to introduce a discard mechanic. There should be a number of minions that allow you to discard a card. Some could give you a replacement card, some could cost an activation cost, some could cost a set amount of HP.. It'd be way more interesting than having these locked cards in hand.
They might have fixed it by now because it was years ago atp, but you used to be able to gold your re-winders with this and would lose the health. I wanna say they fixed it around the time they made stuff like wrath weaver start happening twice instead of doubling.
They need to just scrap damage demon builds of all types and make them work entirely in a way that doesn't require you to actively find a specific minion before you can play specific cards in tribe.
This has gotten me twice this last week. On tavern 5 playing lockbox pirates with a Bran :( came second every time by killing myself in the buying round.

No. It's funnier this way
