Ok so I’m really excited for this card, for those who haven’t seen I’ll give you the stats and effect. She’s a 4 mana 4/3 with Battlecry: Make a minion go Dormant for 2 turns. This card I feel will land on one of two extremes, it’s either going to be absolutely amazing and people may be calling for some sort of nerf or it will have a cool concept but never really get far.

I’m hoping it will be really good but what do you think?

unless there’s gonna be additional synergy with dormancy, I think it’s trash. it’s a worse spellbreaker.

Depends. The silenced minion can still attack you

The dormand cant. I think shes nieche but i wont mind if i get her for sure.

When yiu can take out the top decked thread for two turns it can save your life.

Ofc some classes can do that with remocal, but so far i wont call her complete garbage until i see her in action.

Also who not use her as a combo enabler. Like kael on turn 6 her on turn 7 (i figure silence wont survive dormand) and then go to town on turn 9

the way I see it you silence minions to deny them their strong effects (like deathrattles). if you mind that minion hitting you, you kill it instead.

making it dormant does nothing except hitting pause for 2 turns (whatever that means in this context).

sure, there are gonna be situations in which this pause button gets you the win or lets you survive a little longer to draw salvation, but if you run a tech card because she can sometimes buy you 2 turns by pausing a top deck, you have wasted a tech spot that could otherwise be useful in every game.

and in that general sense I believe that killing the minion or silencing it is better than making it dormant (unless there’s additional synergy with dormancy).
