So. Purify. Thoughts?
It seems bad as-is but I think some people are underestimating how strong it would be at 1 or (especially) 0 mana.
At 1 mana:
Ancient Watcher combo is 3 mana 4/5
Eerie Statue combo is 5 mana 7/7, nearly as big as Fel Reaver and without the downside
At 0 mana:
Argent Watchman combo is 2 mana 2/4
Ancient Watcher combo is 2 mana 4/5
Eerie Statue combo is 4 mana 7/7 (no overload!)
In Kripp's video he claimed that the card would be marginal even at 0 mana, and I _really_ disagree with that. It would be crazy at 0 mana. People complain about Flamewreathed Faceless being a "4 mana 7/7" already and that has 2 overload. Plus at 0 mana, you can cycle it for free whenever you have a minion in play that isn't hurt by silence.
At 1 mana it might be OK. It's weird to me that they would print the card at 2 mana. It's obviously too weak for 2 mana. If it would be too strong at 1 mana, just don't print the card.
Overall the ONIK cardpool is disappointing, given that the Naxx/BRM/LOE cardpools were all fairly playable and interesting.
