Husk Hill Giant probably won't break anything. Increased the cost but playtesting will show if it's too high.

Since you can get a 5/4 for 6 mana this needed a discount.

Yeah this guy was thoroughly unexciting at 4G.

(Playtesting) I'm not sure I agree with the cost discounts. This guy is basically Call of the Herd at 4 four mana, and that was a quality constructed rare in its time. Husk guys with decent bodies are incredibly taxing for the opponent to deal with. Your removal spells are half as useful, trades are bad for you, and them being milled and essentially getting a free creature all add up to providing a lot of card advantage. The drawback is pretty minimal so far, as we have almost nothing that is a repeatable targeting effect at common.

Putting back to 4G after playtesting proved Husk to be amazing.

Wording Change

Maybe Husk isn't the bogeyman I thought it was in initial playtests. Might have to revisit costs/abilities to push it ever so slightly.

Something to help out Husk a little?

Simon O'Keeffe · 2014-06-09 20:09:07

Minor abilities like this are probably fine at common even with Husk being quite complex.
