Overpowered? (Gravebone & Falseblood Cultist)

[Dave163]

Does this need nerfing (not sure it can be)? -got a feeling this tactic is going to become VERY common otherwise (read 'every little noob is going to start using it')...

Use the Falseblood Cultist to discard an Oggy or Dakrath on turn 4, using Gravebone's ability to summon said beast from the dead. Oggy on turn 4, by turn five you could have 2+ attachments on that guy (if not more).


-I have seen the future and it is fat, red and hungry.

idk. this is pretty op, but gravebone is shit without this imo.

I've had this done against me many times and never had an issue with it. It might end up being an issue one day but it's definitely not one yet. The fact is that all effective removal is reasonably cheap so can be cast the turn he is played.

No I don't think this is OP. I've actually been playing a lot with this concept. While it's maybe an "obvious" strategy and yes once it go lives probably lots of people will be utilizing this strategy. But that's just who Gravebone is. Get big stuff out, then get bigger stuff out. But this is just the Aggro Gravebone. I'm sure there will be more control-y Gravebones that include LLN, Shriek, etc. instead of Blood Cultist and sun-blighted one.

I mean do you think this could be the next rush Elad? Because I don't think so. It might be very common strategy for Gravebone, but I don't think it will be a very common strategy overall.

I agree with this, he is a very one trick pony in this regard. Pretty much all heroes have a way to deal with fatties now and I would say most of the strong heroes in this set will routinely stomp on gravebone.

And then comes the retreat, crippling blow, captured prey, perfect shot, fireball + ally, mindcontrol, banish. Bye, bye ally, and you're stuck with a 2/4.

Iam sure all type of Gravebone will try to utilize Falseblood Cultist, including the control achetype

Well it's no Protean Hulk-Flash combo. The thing is that there are enough cards that can handle a fatty coming out at 4cc. I would have to play more test server games though.

There is some really wery powerfull combos in SF, much more powerfull than we have seen before, but not gamebreaking... just get used to it ;-)

During PFG I played this deck a lot, then figured out that it's not actually that good and then stopped playing it.


So no, I definitely don't think it's OP, or even close to being OP.
