Unfun card.
Unplayable.
If ramped through god knows what means, it’s just cancer.
You really shouldn’t play that over Variax, Obliterates or DFC shenanigans.
Unearthed Prophecy - Abyssian Doom

Cool card, thought I don’t it sees competitive play unless all of Abyssian’s other cards are pure control. To those complaining about the inevitability of this card; if you’re playing til turn 12 with your opponent taking a dead turn on max mana, unless you’re playing control Vanar you’re doing something really wrong. Most decks, even control ones will end a lot faster than Doom can. The only way I see Doom seeing play is that we somehow enter a pure control meta which is incredibly unlikely. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any Abyssian deck that’s actually slow enough to play this; Arcanyst wins by dropping Death Knell and Cassyva already has Obliterate and Revenant. Maybe I"ll tech one into Abyssian Arcanyst deck in case I run into Control Vanar or Healing Lynor but I don’t think this card is very good:/
And then the Healynar outplays you with Z’ir! Feelsdoomman

Another new element, another thing we didn’t have before, again I love this immense broadening of the Duelyst realm!

It makes no sense that the effect can not be dispelled. If that is the intention, to be consistent pls add “cannot be dispelled” to the text.

This. This is why it takes so long to put a F.A.Q. together properly. I don’t have time to test all these undisclosed interactions (at least, not widely broadcasted interactions). @longshot405 and I at least share one common frustration: inconsistent logic in the language of the cards, and to some degree, the lack of a repository containing all possible interactions…which circles us back around to what I am trying to accomplish, in part…
…end mini rant.

You came really close to getting me to like that post, but I’m going to continue to uphold my promise.
But yes. If there’s anything that I feel needs to change about this game, it’s the lack of transparency in card effects and interactions along with a lack of available information on the matter. I really wish CPG would make a serious effort to fix this. It would go a LONG way toward improving this game’s health and keeping new players instead of potentially burning them and chasing them away.

I would expect nothing less from you, and I appreciate that commitment.
The comment is enough.
question how does the interaction between this and the new magmar artifact eternal heart works?
I don’t want this.
It’s not fun, does not promote healthy play and is not interesting. There’s no set up that goes into it. There’s no way to see it coming (due to lack of set-up) and no way to get around it save for 2 tech cards that are faction limited. This means you must burn every Abyssian deck asap because they win for free if the game goes long.
At the same time, since the game never runs long, the card is pretty trash. All it does is set up a grievous roadblock should the game ever trend toward longer matches.

This card alone killed the chance of this game ever having a competitive lategame.

wait. so he will die on my next turn? or ill need to wait 3 more turns?
DIBS, gonna reduce the cost of this sucker and it’s gonna be sweet. Also, as soon as I play it they’ll rush me down and I’ll lose. But the one time I’ll play it it’ll be cool! Would be a good combo with the new Magmar Artifact, if you could play them together.
I’m not too concerned about this card. It might become a tech card if there is a painfully slow meta deck dominating the ladder, but that’s about it.
And for people concerned about unhealthy ways of winning, I can sympathize with that, but we already have that in Duelyst. It’s called Faie. I’m sure we can live with this card.
…or CAN we!!! 
These new cards all make me think of some overarching story.
For example, in a battle royal, last general standing match, the Abyssian general casts this on the other generals. The Vanar general dies despite Matron Elveiti’s best efforts, but the Magmar general just manages to hold on to life due to eternal heart.
The Lyonar general passes the torch to Zir after a heartfelt speech. The Vetruvian general is Sajj, and isn’t alive to begin with (is she?), and the Songhai general died a long time ago due to nerfs.

Abyssian the new undisputed king of late game. This isn’t fun and is just a waste of a mythic spot.

Abyss has ALWAYS been the champion of the late game. This just prevents all other factions from challenging the title in the future.

Does this have to be a card? Like it’s just boring, why not make it a board clear, like nine mana, kill everything that isn’t a general and place shadowcreep where they once stood, or maybe have it fill your entire side of the board with shadowcreep while summoning those monsters that variax gives on preexisting ones. Really I’ed rather see this just be changed to something else, anything else. Please?
Thats actually a pretty good idea. I always wondered why circle of dessication was a vet card instead of an abyss card. Just +1 mana for the shadow creep and dying wish synergy with abyss and weve got a decent card.
