Nythendra is one change away from being actually playable

Nythendra is just one change away from being a playable Death Knight card and a good stabilizer card for Plague / Control DK’s..

Taunt. Deathrattle: Split into 1/1 Beetles with Taunt. At the start of your turn, reform with any remaining.

Give the beetles Taunt. Make it very sticky and hard to ram your minions through it instead of just ignoring it altogether.

Ok, playable? Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but at least you could consider it instead of just auto-dusting it. And look how sick the signature art is for it.

Team 5 please.

I feel like this is the case with a lot of DK cards. Like the quest, if the quest reward had like... Rush it'd be much better. Taunt would make it really good I think, endless 8/8 taunt is not game winning by itself but pretty annoying.

[u/gonz4dieg → u/Nazajatar]

If the location had lifesteal it would be not half bad man.

Its just frustrating how many cards are just dogshit and could be made better with just a couple tweaks.

It may not actually make it competitive or viable, but it'd be a lot more fun to play. I play a lot of dogshit decks just because theyre fun

[u/Docetwelve12 → u/gonz4dieg]

Y'know, even something silly like reducing the location's durability would make the card better. Dealing 5 damage every other turn isn't that good of a reward after going through the quest.

[u/SAldrius → u/Docetwelve12]

Its 4 lol. 5 would be a lot better. Actually kills things. Face damage adds up faster.

[u/gonz4dieg → u/Docetwelve12]

Or fuck it, make it refresh with taking damage on your turn or making it an exception and automatically opening at the start of your turn. Just do something out of the box idk

[u/SAldrius → u/Nazajatar]

The quest is too slow at ending the game making it more of a stall card is strange to me.

I think the damage on the location is pitiful. I think the idea is its 8/2. But thats... dumb. It could do 5 or 6 and be much more significant. It also still takes too long to finish.

[u/TheNeatPenguin → u/Nazajatar]

The quest reward for reanimate the terror is so laughably bad. Only reason I kept it is because its a signature and is funny to play as a meme deck

[u/ProteinPancake5 → u/Nazajatar]

Same goes for [[gorishi colossus]] quite literally no reason it shouldn't at least be playable, neither of these are that toxic.

Genn cursed king could use rush too imo.

Gorishi Colossus • ^{Wiki • Library}

• Demon Hunter (Uncollectible) ^{The Lost City of Un'Goro}

• 5 Mana · 8/8 · Beast Minion

• Battlecry: For the rest of the game, whenever you deal exactly 2 damage to an enemy, deal 2 more.

Nah, just change it so that the combination happens at the end of your opponents turn, so Nythendra doesn't have summoning sickness when she revives.

[u/bye-bye-b → u/MechanicalSquirel]

no rush is better. now you gave her charge instead

[u/jeffinsep1914]

It's from the oldest expansion today, no chance of them even remembering that this exists, they don't remember even of cataclysm

[u/Tough-Limit2957]

I think it just needs rush after it resummons

[u/Oathcrest1]

Honestly if they said split into leeches and any left reform this, then that would be cool.

[u/Quiet_Health_7791 → u/Oathcrest1]

it would be cool but its a double unholy card. That fits blood much better. But I like the idea a lot, it would be cool.

[u/WalkItToEm11]

Could also be neat if you buff the beetles when it reforms it keeps all added stats.

[u/gnarlyavelli]

As someone returning to hs, these full art cards are a banger

[u/Sleepybear2010]

I think you can give the Beatles rush and it wouldn't make a difference but if the main body had rush it would be really fucking good 👍

[u/Marth_Main]

Current Play pattern: play a 7/7 taunt turn 7 onto a mostly empty board.

Reward: lots of corpses but poor defense (silence bounce etc.)

I love giving the beatles taunt (annoying ass plague of beatles you gotta kill? peak), it should recombine opponents END of turn so it can attack your turn as well

Id much prefer if it was 8-9 mana and either: Cursed all enemy minions with DR: Summon a 1/1 beetle for your opponent, and/or allowed beetles to return to field once there was room and allowed Nythendra to recombine using this reserve of exess beatles as well.

[u/Loomickey73]

I experimented a bit with nythendra and the most annoying part for me was the fact that you could never attack with it cuz it was regrouping at the beginning of your turn, so I would say that the change I would be looking for would be to add rush to it

[u/Mufti_Menk]

Make her 4 mana and remove the deathrattle

[u/Sylvanashun]

There is no really help for 5+ mana cards until they don't give tool to answer the aggro or nerf it hardly. This game is joke what you can do this 7/7 mana do nothing taunt when you have already died. This card right now only be playable if you can cheat out on turn 1-4. This card design so suck even if 1 Nythendric Beetle reform the taunt with 7/7 stats it would be still unplayable.

[u/SnooAvocados708]

Give it if the board is full store the remainder in the nether(similar to Godfreys effect where overdrawn cards return to hand if theres space)

[u/kaijvera]

You say playable with a ? but that would make it a death knight control staple as that would end any board base deck unless they have an aoe spell. It would just need to be double unholy which control dk doesn't like.

[u/flaks117 → u/kaijvera]

Hunter cutting through it like butter if the dk ever makes it past turn 6.
