Dark Portal Preview Cards

[Miles Prower]

Every Friday, UDE's WoW page is going to show us one card from the upcoming set, Through the Dark Portal. I figure this would be an appropriate topic for card discussion.

I wont post the thread link, I'll just post the image link:

Doomguard, (7), Warlock, Ally - Doomguard Demon, Pet(1), 8 ATK, 8 Health
---
When Doomguard enters play, choose at random a friendly Hero or Ally other than Doomguard and destroy it.

At the end of your turn, destroy target opposing Ally.

Now, I don't know for sure if I would use this card in my Warlock deck considering I could potentially kill my hero. There's no way to try the randomization again, and if your hero is picked, you lose the game instantly. Discussion time.

So he's like a zaborg. Sack ur monster, destroy one of theirs. I don't tend to have a lot of allies on the field in my Warlock deck. I doubt I'd be running him because I'd never have anything to destroy aside from myself. Though the 8/8 is tempting.

[Ruichi]

how do you do it at random roll a dice? and yeah that HERO may die thing is a problem but at the end of every trun you make kill an opposing ally and an 8/8 thats power ..... id run 1 and 1 inferno and if i lose atleast it will look cool.

PS. i think the picture at the bottem is Arcane explosion

You can do it in any random way possible.

You can get a friend to assign a number to each one, and then your opponent picks a number, and the one he picked dies.

Or, you could roll a d6/d10(depending on the amount of possible targets) and assign a number to each character.

Or, any other way you can find that's legit will work, as long as it's completely random.

There is a good part to this card. As long as you don't lose the game because of it, it'll stay on the field for a VERY long time and destroy any ally at the end of each of your turns. You're more or less really luck-dependant.

The best way is to take all your allies and hero and shuffle them all togehter (sleeve your hero in a sleeve similar to the sleeves you use) and lay them face-down and randomly select one.

Of course, if you're playing with clear sleeves this doesn't work. You could always shuffle them up close your eyes and pick one at random... assuming your opponent has good faith to let you do that.

Dice rolling doesn't really work...what happens if I have 4 allies and my hero in play? to my knowlege thereisn't a 5-sided dice.

err...Horde can combo it w/ Valthak Spiritdrinker? (either it dies, or your hero doesn't die).

Very nice idea! I didn't even think of that one. That would work amazingly.

Nice idea but I don't think I will ever try that, since I'm not fond of situational combos.

It's like Spirit Reaper/Thestalos/Don Zaloog in yugioh, you would let your opponent pick, make sure the hero is in a same sleeve
