Unearthed Prophecy - Vanar Matron Elveiti

#34

If you’re a situation where you’re being pressured by a Midrange deck Dark Nemesis and Meltdown do not stop your opponent from beating you down. They don’t swing the game fast enough to stop possible aggression. Unlike those two Matron is a defensive card. It doesn’t win the game but stops aggression.

For an example, if you’re facing Midrange Mar and Magmar has a Lavaslasher and A Taygette in your face. Dark Nemesis and Meltdown won’t necessarily save you. But Matron in a good spot can buy you time to look for board clears and threats.

See I won that bet! :smiley: Now what were the odds? Be honest mate!
I’ll tell you my honest bet amount too :wink:

About the card… she’s only got 5 health, which seems low…

At 7/7 at least you have the body after a dispel or so.

I don’t know, it does seem superfluous and a bit underwhelming considering all the other cards, but maybe there’s a combo waiting? I kind of doubt it though.

Will try it out as I do every card, but yeah, seems weak. Such a shame of such awesome art :stuck_out_tongue:

Fair.

Perhaps my example were flawed, but I can’t see this being better than other 8 drops, like Pandora.

For this card to do something three things must be true

  1. The enemy doesn’t have removal
  2. The enemy is pressuring face hard
  3. But not hard enough that you can walk away unblocked and drop a minion in a safe space

Which is too situational, considering the reward (stall), and too risky as a 8 mana investment when tiger + roar can clear it clean.

Bruh, I got destroyed. I even had a glimmer of hope that it would be a Vanar tile, but NOPE. Complete garbage.

Even a bloodborns patience is not infinite and it would seen Faie’s has finally run out. She has no time for those not of the highest status, they are relegated to the matron herself.

I hope I don’t get the pleasure of seeing everyone become hypocrites again like in Circulus’ case.

I like it. Instead of ‘remove or die,’ it’s ‘remove or significantly adjust your play.’

One of the worst cards so far? At 8 mana you want to close the game, not stall it longer. and just in case you need it, Concealing Shroud is much cheaper. Yes, this stays on board in principle, but do you think so?

Yeah it’s a very meta dependent card and you’re right about it being situational.

#49

This is a more expensive Grove Lion in a faction with Shroud, Deathgrip be damned, for all intents and purposes what we have here is a dud.

It is not a Panddo. Generals can still attack, this won’t stop Vaath from bashing your face in. And counterattacks also hurt.

#53

How does this work with battle pets? Will they move towards your general and won’t attack or they choose completely different target?
