True but still I cant take this card seriously. Its probably too slow. Although it does prevent leathal for at least one turn usually.
Expansion Spoiler Day 3 - Indominus
If there wasn’t EMP you could have the perfect lock against anything…
Indominus with Aegis Barrier in one corner (Whip Rebirth)+(Alcuin Loremaster)
three gates surrounding it (or two gates+ general if you like)
= Immune to shroud, Lightbender and targeted removal
what still works (in Lyonar): Ranged units, ranged minion effects, Claim, Vitrol
= still too much outs
there is no impenetrable defense!
Altough an abyssian general based spell that disallows 7 mana spells and minions to be played would help a LOT.
Seventh Seal
7 mana spell
Players can’t play 7 mana spells, minions or artifacts
Back to topic: I would still play this in a Titan deck full of minions with ranged/ spawning effects.
Brome/Argeon
Solpiercer
Sunbreaker
Prominence
Syvrel the Exile
Ohh this + the thing that double minion’s life + divine bond + aegis
And you can always forcefield it
EMP exists. And it’s obviously superiour choice to the card itself.
Ohh right nerf emp pls
Dispel meta incomingggg
Of course Doom still gets through
(If it doesn’t then we can thank @ThanatosNoa for the Doom support we gonna get later)
its not unreasonable to assume each faction will get 1 thing to counter doom
i just realized that gate has 0 health. doom will probably set the generals HP to 0 but they wont die due to invulnerability. so they have until the indominus is answered to live. the real question is whether they can be healed by things like azure herald while invulnerable victory is based on the generals health reaching 0 or if its triggered by actual death
in other words its #Discoverable
Heresy
You lie
(I wonder if thanatos gets annoyed that I ping him so much about Doom support)
heres a thought, gate of the undervault cant be affected by anything as such i wounder if an emp is played, will the things on the geneal be affected as well? or will invuln prevent himself from being dispelled and only remove the invuln status.
I think, by itself, this minion is perfectly fine and will see play as one of those cards that are prime top deck material, EMP is not common enough to rekt this card.
As long as some crazy combo with this card doesn’t come out making it completely invulnerable, it should be fine.
There is also Ephemeral Shroud, Lightbender, Sandswirl Reader, and most Factions’ removal for those decks that don’t run EMP. And they’ll always™ have it:
Even if your general could move and attack while this is on the field it wouldnt be good,
Why should i ever play this over grand master zir?And GM zir is already a niche card.
But that is a general point about late game cards that don’t have immediate effects.
Because this card has stats that hit the enemy general hard.
2 Attack doesnt matter that much…in those decks you usualy also run bond for which zir is better
Most importantly,zir has stats that allow him to trade with emp
