DISCUSSION

A few questions for you to start the discussion:

1. What were your original expectations about the card? Is it better or worse than what you expected?
2. Can you share a deck where the card is working great? Can you comment on failed experiments with the card?
3. This is yet another positioning spell for Songhai. Do you think the faction already has better positioning spells which make this one less useful?

You don’t have to talk about these questions specifically, which are just supposed to be a starting point for the discussion. Feel free to discuss the cards lore, art, and fun interactions along with competitive viability in this topic. Also, feel free to propose changes to the format and/or criticize it, so that I can fine-tune it to make it more appealing to you.

None likes Mass Flight?

To be honest, I don’t have much experience with this card, but it looks good for board-based Songhai decks and it could be crazy if Swarmhai ever became a thing.

I think the only thing which keeps this card out of the meta is that Juxtaposition and MDS are both cheaper. Also, it’s a bit hard in this game to have a fully developed board, so most of the times this card would only benefit a single minion.

But I think this card has potential, it could probably become much better with the next expansion

Not only is the archetype that would enjoy such a effect nonexistent, it’s a more expensive Mist Dragon Seal that doesn’t buff on average, and that’s simply not worth looking at.

Factor in that the only real swarm support Songhai had (old Divination) got reworked for a failed meme from Shimzar (Koan of Horns) that’s being rotated out anyway.

It might be worth trying in a Shidai Arcanyst deck with Prismatic Illusionist.

I’ve never seen it on ladder, but I did lose a gauntlet game to it, but you can lose a gauntlet game to just about anything.

if only songhai had more frenzy options…

[phoenixtoasches]

Frenzy with back-stab…I like it. Make Songhai OP again, CPG, and give us some frenzy.

[cloudfrog]

wow I’m just imagining it and I’m annoyed already. But then again, I actually fine with anything that’s not shidai.

[becquerel]

Serpenti is frenzy

[cloudfrog]

I’d prefer it if they made a 3 headed serpenti that only appears when you’ve summoned 3 serpentis. that’d be so sick
