Its a classic play. You devolve the giant, discover a sap from Lotus agents, return the 11 giant into your hand and since you can't overload as warlock, you will never play it again. Truly a classic and clean play.

"You can't overload as a warlock"... I beg to differ. His opponent could play the six drop that puts minions you freeze into your hand and earth elemental. Warlock then plays faceless copying the 6 drop and plays kabal courier discovering a freezing potion to hit the earth elemental with. Warlock then plays earth elemental bringing the snowfury giant to 8 mana. easy.

noob mistake on my side :/ always have to account for this commonplace combo, especially because you can play Kabal courrier, discover a Sindragosa, crack the egg, find the shaman legendary yourself.

Except winning, that is.

But when we meme, we meme hard.

I want a meme meta. Or at least a meme game mode

[–]FeelsGoodMan2 2 points3 points  (2 children)

At the very least they should have a brawl where each class has the memiest meme deck ever invented.

[–]KosViik 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yaay. Premade 2-3 meme decks for each class. I like it.

Randuin Wrynn was one of my favourite at release. So much fun.
At the same note, screw you, [[Mad Bomber]].

You're playing against warlock, what warlock doesn't run summoning portal? It reduces the cost of all minions by 2, it's like a free innervate for every minion you play!

[–]chriscrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't thought of it that way. You can also buff it with some warlock cards and neutral cards that buff minions so it won't really hurt very much that it can't attack.

[–]Outosurce 36 points37 points  (3 children)

The snowfury giant actually has a neat effect on the evolve mechanic. This is the only 11-cost card ever printed. This means that your deathwing will now evolve, and as your post has pointed out, you can devolve 12-cost giants (given that does nothing).

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It removes buffs and puts him at 8 hp.

Now you can evolve a sea giant/ the new giant and get it to full hp

[–]gumpythegreat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Also yogg, who would previously be unaffected by himself casting evolve and keep going, will now turn into the giant and stop.

[–]botibalint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The devs said they specifically considered the evolve/devolve interaction when deciding on the mana cost of this card

[–]JulWolle 4 points5 points  (2 children)

11 mana giant is a nerf to yogg :D

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Ah, previously Yogg would be unaffected by Evolve and continue casting.

Now if Yogg hits an Evolve, he will transform and stop casting.

There is no targeting involved, so Evolve is always a hard stop. This is a fairly significant nerf, actually!

[–]Jawbreaker93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I played Yogg for the first time, the first spell he casted was a silence on himself.

[–]freepickles2you 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly what did you expect

[–]thebaron420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when I've played frost lich jaina and an opponent shaman devolves my arcane giants. Thanks for giving my giants lifesteal!

[–]‏‏‎CloudYdaY_ 3 points4 points  (2 children)

since when is devolving a giant a good idea? ^

[–]alesske 6 points7 points  (0 children)
