New Priest Rare Minion: Grandmummy

I was wondering whether Team 5 would have the balls to print a card with keywords Reborn and Deathrattle in it since that would be an incredibly strong combination; to trigger that said Deathrattle potentially two times.

As for this card; first, the card art and name are adorable. Second, this one looks rather promising, even exciting! Buffing something like Northshire Cleric or Acolyte of Pain would be nice. It can be drawn pretty easily with Dead Ringer.

And imagine if you copied this with Shadowy Figure BEFORE Grandmummy dies and triggers its Reborn effect. Or at least I assume you would have to do it before the first death if you want the Reborn effect for Shadowy Figure copy as well. Even more buffs! I would be surprised if this card ended up not seeing much play.

I like it. :slight_smile:

3/4 with condition is pretty good, with rush it would have been insane.
Rogues allready has a 2 mana 3/4 and it’s a solid card

I’m so glad they print zoo for priest, too bad they don’t print enough zoo and not the right kind of zoo, this is great though, not really playable in what priest does but maybe so good that you even just play it just for the annoyance

Maybe wild zoo with the hobgoblin

Question: Does anyone know if the deathrattle is applied before or after the reborn copy spawns?
In that case, it would buff itself when it dies on an empty board … interesting!

I would assume the order to be:

  • minion dies
  • deathrattle triggers
  • reborn triggers

Could imagine deathrattle triggers when it dies and reborn when it allready died

Edit: damn ninjabears…

If I were working on the HS team, I would simply use the existing deathrattle mechanic to code reborn. So though different on the card, it would internally be a deathrattle “resummon this with 1 health” (or so).
I think it’s probably correct to assume that for grandmummy the explicit deathrattle will get priority but I’m still looking forward to testing it once the card is out.
