I think the real power of Kil'Jaeden is in a really hardcore control warlock. Where you're often going to fatigue. It means you are more careful with your resources, can still tap when you want/need to. But you don't ever fatigue.

[@Elephanthobo]

I think this is a problem if you get into a mirror match. A single card that allows Stalemate until the max turns

[@amazingleomar6885]

This would completely break the game. The point of fatigue is to prevent matches from taking obscenely long. This card would mean that every control warlock mirror could easily go to the turn limit (1 hour long matches anyone?). It also means any fatigue control class other than warlock is useless as they will auto loose to warlock. Any card that strictly prohibits certain class archetypes should never be printed

[@Colaschnittchen]

Cameron Lui you mean like this warrior card for two mana 🤨

[@ikrena4701]

Yep, because hearthstone has never printed cards that prevent fatigue (and certainly not more than once)

[@amazingleomar6885]

@@ikrena4701 Mistakes in the past don't justify mistakes in the present!

[@ajparker7575]

Just noticed that for Black Smith's Job, while lifesteal is not on any current warrior cards, nearly any you slice it, if you build a custom weapon with the stats/effects of an actual current card (think, arcanite reaper, blood razor, death's bite, etc.), it will always cost (at least) 1 mana more than the real deal. In that way, you can kind of say it's 2 mana discover a warrior weapon (if you're actually building carbon copies of them) and I'd say that's pretty par for the course. The only thing "I think" you need to really balance it is to change it so you can only choose a non-stat buff once each (can only ever have upto blood razor in board clear potential, maybe also lifesteal). Still though, you also run the risk of everbody always creating the one weapon to rule them all 4 mana 1/1 blood razor with lifesteal (as if priest's spirit lash wasn't already played enough, now warrior has a way to build a 4 mana double spirit lash, yikes).

[@OleksiiCpt]

[@Xylarxcode]

Yea, but like Trump said, it's in that weird spot where it has a clear upside for zoo like decks and a marginal use for control decks, but doesn't really fit into either one. It's a battlecry effect, so you can't cheat him out with the skull of the man'ari or the possessed lackey. And even if your draw is shut down and you prevent yourself from taking fatigue, how many games is that really gonna win you? As I like to remind people, you only have 30 deck slots to work with so you want to make each spot count, which is especially true for control decks. You have to ask yourself: do I really want to reserve one deckslot for a card that *might* help me win a very long game but also has a very high chance of not doing anything other then inconvenience me? The only decks that would wanna play KJ are meme decks. No serious deck could play him and get away with it, I don't think.

[@mawillix2018]

Xylarxcode There are 14 slots available if you go for a control shell, another 11 or so can be used for: combos, synergy cards, tempo cards (for the first turns), draw, lifegain, or sometimes just more clears or single target removal depending on the meta. The last 3 slots are usually where tech cards that are only good against one sometimes two match-ups can be run. If there is a popular fatigue or very slow deck in the meta, and you want to beat it, I could see dropping something like weapon removal for KJ.

[@CuriousMoth]

You could do a reverse of KilJaeden, which would be something like: "Battlecry: Destroy two mana crystals. You may never have more than 8 mana crystals. Draw an extra card at the start of each turn."

Oil of the advanced one deck: As rogue, play spirit of shark and double galvanizer with oil and a replicating menace in hand. Then, play a copper tail imposter (does not have to be discounted mana). If it survives at all, play 0 cost replicating menace into necrium vial into backstab one of the 1/1s into advanced one magnatize on to the imposter for 34 damage. You could also prep the necrium vial for extra mana in case you need to sap a taunt. This does assume that oil stays at discounted mana when it becomes classified as the advanced one, which I'm not certain about

[@Nerdnumberone]

You overlooked Giants as a trigger for Giant Claw Master. Is handlock still a thing? Turn 4 giants happened a lot when it was. Then again, they didn't necessarily die on your too often. It's also one of those cards where you need to be conscious about the design space when making new giants and giant-like minions that have a high printed mana cost.

[@commandercrimson5858]

I believe that an easy way to make Kil'Jaden more applicable is if the downside instead read that you draw cards at the end of your turn instead of the beginning. An increasingly slow value oriented renolock could make use of the version we have by preventing fatigue while stalling with the DK, but it still would be irrelevant when used in the ideal case against the druids and warriors who already do best near fatigue with infinite value. If you drew slightly buffed minions at the end of your turn you'd be getting more value but at a more gradual pace since you couldn't toss out topdecks without your hero power.

[@etiennerobert6918]

I'm late, but I'm pretty sure the Substitute creature's Homework Packs make you draw a card IN ADDITION of the natural draw from Casts When Drawn, and was probably designed to make your opponent have a big hand that he cannot use due to overload.

[@Xgya2000]

Stopping the draw in an Even Warlock where against other control matchups it usually ends up in fatigue is a pretty neat option. Even without the deck-boosting option, just having that option sounds neat. If all else fails, it's an 8-mana 9-attack minion that Bloodreaver just might resummon in those games you draw the Deathknight too late. Overall, not a bad idea.

[@joshuawenninger6439]

7:24 Or maybe with "Homework Pack" the player draws a card for both the "Casts when drawn" effect and as a regular side effect for a total of drawing two cards

[@Corrupted]

[@Icetea-2000]

6:52 It finally exists!

[@Dommhammer721]

Trogg Elder has more applications in the early game. Such as when you zap, lighting bolt, crushing hand, etc. in the first few turns you can still play this when you only have one mana open. I agree that it should be two mana, but I think it is functionally different enough from eternal sentinel to warrant a place.

[@ajparker7575]

Oh jeez, Trump, you know what happens if you make a 10 mana spell in a class right? let alone a legendary one! Put that and a couple of Lay on Hands into a paladin monster-mash deck with a pair of Spiteful Summoners, and it's Satellite Priest mk II, Wrath of Prince Arthus (let's be honest, more like wrath of Sir Annoy-o)! And Last Crusade is way easier and more impactful to play than mind control in a lot of games.

[@yosh3301]

I honestly dont think its as OP as trump says it is. Yes, its good but its good as a power push card for a control paladin archetype. Its incredibly slow due to needing a lot of divine shield minions to die, and the main reason youre doing this is tyrion fordring which is pretty much the only good divine shield for the ressurect.

[@gotrix2965]

I do think it’s that strong. Just compare it to endless army... If you play with Zilleax and annoyomodule you could potentially get the whole 7 mana army , and additional Tirion, Shirvalla, Comanders etc. 10 mana seems just right. ( Actually it could be way stronger than Zhuljin for example, and if they printed it, obviously after summoner rotates out)

[@BlakeFaeMorton]

6:20 Blacksmith's Job just... Can't have those battlecries or deathrattle. Especially not with Lifesteal. I think it would be good if the spell was 0 mana and gave you a 4 mana 3/3 weapon, and you could only add each feature only once. Maybe replace the battlecry and deathrattle ones with "Battlecry: Give your hero divine shield." and "Windfurry." Note: I considered keeping the spell cost at 1 and making it a 2 mana 2/2. But then you could just not add upgrades and it is basically fiery win axe with 1 less attack... That was not something I wanted to give warriors even if it "technically" cost 3 mana total. Plus, it makes the right choices for the weapon more extreme. Making it come online at 4+ mana felt better. And there's some intercities to having Windfurry but only 3 durability without the durability upgrade.

[@Ryniano]

6 mechs isnt too hard with those cards that summon 1/1 mechs

[@Awicz314]

Kil'Jaeden could be as welk just used as anti-fatigue tool, for heavy draw decks

[@painfulelegy812]

Advanced one combo deck: Keep on playing things until you get a turn where you have at least one mech survive. Hand: Mechwarper Mechwarper (some number of 2 costs mechs) Ideal: Mechwarper x2 Galvanizer x2 mech with cost 6 or less Oil of the advanced. It's 6 cards, but that gives you lethal. If you have 7 mechs, you could make a 33/32 divine shield lifesteal taunt rush with zilliax and get a full heal. And this is in neutral. You could even do it easier in rogue with valeera, needing one less mech due to the shadow copy.

[@foxross]

The face of Reno on the Lust card is just perfect!

[@mijkolsmith]

A good nerf to the weapon might be that for each buff added you need to spend 1 mana and the card also costs 1 mana more, because for the lower upgrades it is not that overpowered.

[@andreicecold4379]

6:22 Hey look, it's the paladin libram weapon!

[@collinguo2175]

Advanced one is actually super busted in because of Galvanizer, and in wild, Mechwarper. It's basically a Mechathun combo in every class that's WAY easier than Priest and Warlocks'. You can run two of them in something like mech zoo warlock, and then you have strong early game vs decks that die to aggro, and can instead tap to victory against control. There are 4 one cost mechs and enough two-cost mechs that keeping 1-2 mechs on board, and then filling in with up to two 2 costs and the rest 1 cost with a single Galvanizer is relatively easy in standard.

[@BradGreer]

Last Crusade is even more OP than suggested: It doesn't say "summon divine shield minions that died." It says "*Fill your board with copies* of divine shield minions that died." Play only one Argent Commander and you have 28 burst!

[@gotrix2965]

Yeah, agree .( Or Zilleax on a Mechanoegg... most classes couldn’t clear that and it would be very uninteractive) Compared to Zhuljin for example it’s so much better.

[@ivenstorm]

I could see Kil'Jaeden working well with a Wild Warlock Mill deck. How that would work out, I don't know. But there are enough cards that allow you to draw extra cards, and then you have Coldlight Oracle.

Wow did no one think about kil’jaden and the the no draw being used just as a fatigue stall method.

[@lolialf]

Blacksmiths' job, as echo could work everytime you play it again, it gets stronger and more expensive

[@josephsherby]

I think a good balance for Blacksmith’s Job would be if adding stats to the weapon also cost mana. The spell would cost 1 to activate, and then 1 mana per stat added. The weapon itself would also cost 1 mana per stat added to play. I think this would give a better balance, since the card is super adaptable but it would take up a lot of mana to use, so you kind of sacrifice your turn if you want to build one of those really powerful weapons. Otherwise, you could get a weapon of your choice on demand, but it would cost significantly more than it would had you simply played a weapon of the same stats.

[@justseffstuff3308]

[@theatrefortheskitch5628]

Kil jaeden is a sick tech card, would have shaken up the togwaggle meta , any future corrupted blood meta, general grinder decks , yet it's also not bad perhaps in a draw heavy deck as it does stand on its own as a fairly scary minion at 9/7 , and finally it's super cool to see a big demon that you would absolutely never run with a bloodreaver or skull, unless I guess you were going to use him for the aggressive stats to really grind your opponent down behind walls of 3/9s

[@Nerdnumberone]

I wonder if you could take advantage of Inept Counterfeiter's effect by having cards like troggs or rat trap that give you benefit if the opponent tries to dump the spells or effects that take advantage of opponent's hand size. I don't think those are really a thing in standard at the moment, but perhaps in a future set?

[@layarteBdnAevoL]

Alright so what happens when kil'jaeden somehow finds it's way into some super lategame control lock that just uses it for the fact that it stops fatigue, then the mirror match happens and it's the last card they both play because of it's function. Rope 50 turns and hope your opponent has to concede because he has something to do?

[@hossdelgado1676]

Kil'jaeden could work where you draw a card at the end of your turn so the penalty is your tempo is greatly reduced.

[@thewonderdoc2999]

The comparrison for the last card is a bit out of place. If you coin Crushing Hand on 2 and Overload 3, you can still play this guy on 3. Maybe even two of them? Are „used“ overloaded crystals indicated somehow? Or could I play 7 of these on Turn 3 if I‘m overloaded 3?

[@desroth]

The custom weapon really doesn't seem all the imbalanced outside of the extreme health gain. Deal 4 to everything with life steal is pretty good, but is attached to a card that cost you 7 total mana to play and can potentially leave you wide open to counter play. The 7/3 with Lifesteal could just see the return of weapon destruction into the meta just to stop warriors who could pop something like that. So a 11 cost card played on turn 10 could see you swing once with it before it is popped out of existence, and your swing isn't a certain to actually smack an opponent and at most you could pop a taunt with it. In all I would say its a pretty solid card that is high risk, high reward. It is great to be able to go off with it, but the opponent can still punish it if you aren't careful. I actually kind of want a card like this, but I would say maybe you could bring it more in line by giving it a discover style ability for the powers. You get presented with 4 options, 3 powers and 1 to accept the weapon as is, and each time you pick a power it gives you a random assortment of 3 new effects. It makes the warrior decide when the best time to play it will be: Play it early and get super unlucky with the selection or play it later and get a good endgame card but risk just get outed or beaten before it it is even useful. Hell, we dealt with Reno decks during Ungoro with bouncing shenanigans, we can deal with this.

Wouldn’t kil’jaeden be broken because you would never fatigue???

[@LaDeAlPakino]

Galvanizer exists in standard so The advanced one could be viable within decks that can use it with some other cheating mana features plus some mech environment as the warrior hero that gives your mech rush and let you discover one every other turn.

Looking back at Kil'jaeden, and sitting here today with Embiggen Druid

[@Meca-Mat]

The Trogg Elder costing 2 Mana instead of 1 would actually probably be a nerf. I am pretty sure that using Overloaded Mana Crystals to summon it would imply that if you're Overloaded for 4, you play it, it cost (0), and you are then only Overloaded for 1 afterwards.

[@MisanthropeMurphy]

Kilja’den would probably mean you’d never fatigue as well which is pretty good.

[@evanliu8603]

Jens' edit is epic!

[@Ishsa]

I feel like the demon lord would be super overpowered in control matchups for the fatigue pause button.

[@PrinsLycan]

Shrinkmeister with the priest worgen hero looks fun.

11:22 NO Trump! No! Did we forget about fatigue?

[@mango2450]

Ben George I think he just thought that wasn’t that great because even if you dont fatigue you still end up with 0 cards and then your fucked anyway

[@gotrix2965]

A tech card vs Hakkar , Kappa.

[@misterbleedinggums]

Trump is incapable of imagination so he didnt think of shotgun lock just controlling the board and killing any enemies while healing up and never taking fatigue.

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

Kil’Jaeden should affect your hand and make the cards cheaper as well, so you can tap to compensate.

[@Sarah-gp3xh]

Kill'jaeden would be quite a strong card in my control warlock deck... cause i often die from fatigue vs other control decks

[@FranRojo91]

Last Crusade is so flavourful, loved it

[@KuroroSama42]

Kil'Jaedan would have to discount your hero power to be able to see play. 2 mana per turn to draw is too much, but 1 could be reasonable.
