Adaptive Amalgam is the best thing that happened in a while, at least for me. I've been so stumped that prelate was Paladin only, but now Undatakah is for every class to enjoy. So Shudderwock undatakah is possible now, or Death Growl DK Undatakah. Gonna be insanely incredibly fun

In Wild, Beached Whale has health/attack swapping shenanigans. Could be a menace in priest decks that repeatedly revive it with Inner Fire as well. Yeah it's slow, but it'll work as a meme.

[@KnownAsKenji]

I wouldn't count Adaptive Amalgam out entirely for Wild. It keeps Magnetics, Mech Paladin and Rogue are both close to relevancy there, both of those decks can draw like absolute madmen. I dunno if it quite makes the cut, but I'm giving it a shot for sure. For the record, I believe Undatakah should work, Immortal Prelate has the same effect as this Amalgam and that was a (janky) combo in the past.

[@primsine]

It's crazy that they made wild COMPLETELY unplayable in this expansion pack. Unless you like pirates.

Adaptive Amalgam is basically just a better Immortal Prelate from Rastakhan's Rumble. Mainly because it costs one less, but also because its entirely generic and has the benefit of being counted as *All* minion types

Have you ever wondered if blizzard scams you by making false claims? Yes, because the definition of scam is this, declaring one thing and doing another, very serious when there is money involved. For example, the cards that say "random" are lying, there are algorithms that decide which cards to choose, for example not ALL the cards with assault but only those that the blizzad itself decides periodically, and among these there are algorithms that favor one of the two players, in this way Blizzard balances the game artificially and favors those who give it money based on who doesn't pay, for example it has created a specific arena for those who never pay using gold, where it only throws in these players together with certain categories such as KZbinrs who buy accounts full of gold to chain draft and make "incredible arena" videos, this thing is even declared and admitted by blizzard itself which thus admits to manipulating everything as it wants and cashing in your dollars in exchange, to millions of dollars, yes you understand, you pay, you get scammed, you get stressed and the only one who laughs in your face... is your beloved blizzard... 😂😂🤣🤣

[@kryvosheinn]

I think you could be wrong about sleepy resident. It could be very very good in slow control or reno decks. Imagine your opponent has full board of 8\8 or whatever and you have this taunt. Without silencing or removing it in other way it will block attack of all opponent minions for entire turn. Opponent couldn't attack your hero, his board can't trade into yours. It's definitely something worth.

[@imaforceanature7297]

Yeah it falls into the commonly broken hearthstone style of card I like to call “fake ramp”. The type of cards I’d consider fake ramp is stuff like frost nova, cloak of shadows, ice block, and the shaman elemental that freezes everything. Just cards that stuff almost everything minion-based for a turn and fill in the gaps to your hard boardclears for a turn. The weakest part of this card is that it’s not guaranteed to go off like most of the others but it can still stall hard when it does go off. Cards that stop the game and essentially allow you to progress to the next turn and draw a new card and gain a new mana crystal are fake ramp.

[@dasdasdiamlasdasdsada9717]

@@dasdasdiamlasdasdsada9717I just saw it as a frost nova. It had its uses. I don’t think the card is bad and has potential depending on the meta and other cards.

But I am sure there will be a lot of ways to make it infinite, especially in Wild.

Reska + Adaptive Amalgam + Death Growl seems like a pretty powerful combo to me. For 2 mana, you give Reska the ability to put itself back into your deck when it dies, and since Death Growl giving Reska the deathrattle is an enchantment, Reska will keep it when you play her again.

Cryopractor and Living Dragonbreath... get the buff without the freeze. Alternatively, this could buff a minion to allow a priest to use Shadow Word: Death or something similar on it.

One more thing about the Amalgam. It is a pirate. You can give a pirate windfury. AAAAAAND Handbuffpaladin exists. And since it is a 1 cost you can boogie it out. :D

[@imaforceanature7297]

I think cryopractor shouldn’t be compared to cryofreeze. The difference between paying 2 mana to freeze + 3/3 on a card alone and bumping that up 1 and gaining a 3/3 is very different. The rate on this card if you use it on like a shaman totem is pretty solid, especially since it will unfreeze and be available next turn. Stuff like gold panner on 2, cryopractor on 3 isn’t bad either. I think it’s worth it on a 1 attack or lower minion most of the time as a 3 mana 6/6 swing.
