rothem's visage

has anyone successfuly used rothem's visage in a deck? seems the cost is too high and is too easily destructible unless you coat it which takes like 10 resources total...

I did in a Ter Adun

deck (the hero who looks fierce but is a wuss in disguise) but only against AI only though (so it doesn't really count much). You can, though not really necessary, speed up the cost by casting Smith Shop (not commenting on the card's name....) and/or Thoughtful Investment (read: giving up board control and get bludgeoned to half dead by the time you can play visage). It's not that hard to get it play in any case, if people can play King's Pride

now, this card should be able to get played without problem. It can turn around the game but it does hurt if/when it's destroyed (an equivalent of a supernova blowing up to your face). I would also play Punisher's Gauntlet and/or Dragon's Tooth

for the opponent to destroy so hopefully by the time the Visage is played, he won't have any card reserved to destroy it.

Despite the ability for haste I found it's ability decent in a solo deck, particularly Logan

. Shadow Font

helps as well.

I agree even in a solo deck it's almost impossible to destroy. Most decks you can play it and your mostly safe since people pack 2 or no Lln. I've used it in decks and it works great, but if it gets destroyed your in trouble. Against priests and rogues don't play it until turn 10 so u can drop a coating on it

I prefer gauntlets as its shadow power feels much more powerful. The gauntlets are also very hard to destroy because they can neuter you opponents threats to it.

i prefer gauntlets as well. it just takes too long to set up. usually i need to kill the opponent in 2-3 turns after i put it down bec my life has dwindled from berserk,...

10 resources if you coat it. next turn you drop bombs.. what are the best allies to use its ability with? might say shadow allies are better with this? or the human allies? my own perception i think shadow will benefit more from this card. imo.
