they probably wanted to make the cards impactful, but didn’t realize how ridiculous they actually were
it’s true that nobody ever does in these games but Frozen Throne was a particularly weird case
like
what the fuck is Dead Man’s Hand
dead man’s hand was a gamer idea and I stand by it
well
at least when I’m not facing it
same reason someone printed one with nothing
not great example but it’s sort of passable
One With Nothing was a joke card that doesn’t have an obvious application but ended up being a staple in sideboards because the dominant decks killed you by making your hand be too full.
Dead Man’s Hand basically reads “yeah lol if you run two of these you can just fuckin survive fatigue have fun with that”
because blizzard printed us in order to increase sales for hearthstone
next question
it also makes no sense in the sense that it has absolutely nothing to do with the design themes of Frozen Throne’s Warrior cards, which focus on damaged minions with a subtheme of weapons.
Just… what was Frozen Throne? The hero cards were cool if a bit overtuned but the rest of the set was kind of just all over the place.
let’s not forget this bullshit
until GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS came along this was the #1 hated Priest minion
i wouldn’t know but I’ve seen enough wild games to know that Obsidian Statue is annoying, pretty much for the exact same reasons Convincing Infiltrator is. Only difference is that Infiltator is cheaper and Priest has insane revival in standard right now.
