My experience was wrecking poor terran BioBalls with my balanced Protoss Zealot/Stalker/Colossus/HT Deathballs
Pixel Art Preview: Grandmaster Nosh-Rak
Blast Locust confirmed
Grandmaster Nosh-Rak
7
6/8
Turn the enemy general into a 2/2 dervish. GG.
The grandmasters have really weird names:
Zir:
The name of a Black Dragon in Welsh Mythology. Pretty cool, but not very fitting of a warrior in golden Armour
Zendo:
A type of Buddhist Monastery, as well as the name of an influential Buddhist writer. This one makes a lot of sense since Zendo influences the opponent general’s mind, and control of actions and state of mind are crucial to Buddhist philosophy.
Variax:
A brand of electric guitars. Okay… I guess this fits in with the “sound/ metal” theme that Abyssian has (Klaxon, Echoing Shriek, etc.) but it seems a bit random.
Nosh-Rak:
Honestly, this is the most obscure and awesome name amongst all the grand masters. “Nosh” in Yiddish means snack or eat, and “Rak” means selfish, or cancerous. This unit is literally called CANCER EATER! CANCER FREAKIN EATER! How fitting is this name!? That’s a rhetorical question; this name is amazing. And don’t tell me that this is unintentional. These two words appear right next to each other in this book on the Yiddish language: https://books.google.ca/books?id=nNpXzP8z040C&pg=SL1-PA694&lpg=SL1-PA694&dq=nosh+rak&source=bl&ots=6QJjmWM9zm&sig=_M_kmCf9yj2RvLKwQgtTrCg90_M&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiKv5Tqqs_QAhWE2YMKHeO4Aa44ChDoAQgaMAA#v=onepage&q=nosh%20rak&f=false
CANCER EATER!!!
I will never get tired of that.
Cancer Eater? So his ability must wreck Songhai!
HAHA… nailed it.
Seriously tho, I hope he stomps Magmar
7 Mana
0/6
Rush
Opening Gambit: When this card is summoned, destroy all dervish type minions that you control and this minion gains 2 attack for each dervish destroyed.

Yooo, that would be both funny, yet so hard to actually trigger
I edited to “you control”. I was thinking yugioh and said your side of the field when writing the OG haha. It wouldn’t be that hard to get 6+ attack in a dervish deck especially if the game is going on that long.
There might actually be a reason to run windstom obelysk too since you want to maximize damage by having your dervishes attack then be sacrificed.
this looks sweeeeeeeeeeet
So, I didn’t reply immediately after seeing it, because I had to do a doubletake over how cool the spritework in. Hoping he’s as sweet as Zendo and Z’ir- also inb4 he is, and then gets nerfed to the ground for flimsy reasons because he was a good Vetruvian card, and we just can’t have that.
Much like Nimbus, this is likely to be a day 1 craft for me if it isn’t total garbage.
Maybe it is:
6 Mana 4/6
Flying
When you cast a bloodborn spell, switch your general’s position with this minion’s.
6 mana
5/5
Flying
Your General has flying
Aaaaaaaaaaaah it looks perfect!!!
I’ve saved up dust for 13 legendaries, I just hope it’s enough to get all the grandmaster flavored cards as I will want from this expansion. XD
Grandmaster Nosh-Rak
5 Mana 5/5 Minion
Flying; Opening Gambit: Switch Bloodborn Spell with the enemy General.
“Lament not the disfavor of fatuous gods. Take the rotten lot you are given and shove it down your enemy’s throat.”

Grandmaster Nosh-Rak
4 mana
3/5
Flying. If there are three copies of these in your deck, transform your artifacts into artifact spells at the beginning of the game.
Artifact spells:
Staff of Ykir -> Arrow of Ykir
2 mana. Equip Staff of Ykir or deal 3 damage to a target
Wildfire Ankh -> Firestorm
3 mana. Equip Wildfire Ankh or deal 2 damage to all enemies

if your general has less than 3 artifacts equipped, equip a random artifact at the end of your turn
nosh-rak is gonna be grincher deluxe
or of course something i posted in the fan card section a long time ago
this minion gains the effects of all equipped artifacts
maybe he’ll be the first ever Rush Flying minion?
My Elkowl disagrees
