hearthstone Subject 9 & Dr. Morrigan Reveals: The Boomsday Project

[Zadina 923]

Two Legendary cards have been revealed simultaneously! Let's check them out!

Dr. Morrigan is the Warlock Legendary minion and was revealed by Surrender on Twitch.

This card bears similarities to Madam Goya and Malorne, two Legendaries that never really saw much play. Essentially, when she "dies", Dr. Morrigan goes back in your deck and Recruits one of your minions. This effect is way too slow for Warlock, even for Control or Cubelock. We'll probably see a meme clip of this card along with Baleful Banker (and perhaps Augmented Elekk), but from the Legendary class minions revealed so far from The Boomsday Project this looks by far the weakest.

According the reveal schedule, Subject 9 was supposed to be released later today. Chinese site Headline Games seemed to be in a rush to show us this card (and we don't mind at all!):

It's slightly disappointing that only 4 classes can benefit from a Neutral Legendary minion. And to be honest, from these 4 classes I only see Hunter using Subject 9. Mage has Arcanologist, Paladin doesn't really want to draw its Secrets and Rogue Secrets aren't played much. Still, Subject 9 is an Azure Drake on steroids and we've yet to see the Mage and Hunter Secrets from The Boomsday Project .

Let us know what you think about these cards in the comments section below!

Severely dissapointed by Dr. Morrigan. You'd have to make a deck entirely around high cost minions to even make sense with her, and even if you by some miracle aren't stomped to death before that happens, then what? You pay 8 mana for a minion that can be silenced, and at best just functions as a roll the dice between what you might have left?

I had hoped this set wouldn't have any troll legendaries, since they looked so good otherwise, but this card is. Hell, I'm going there and call this worse than the new Avaina we got last set.

What?! Lol. This minion doesn't benefit the opponent by any means like Dusk Fallen Aviana. Sure, it's a terrible and disappointing card but it can't be as bad as Duskfallen.

Only hunter, like you mentioned, can use this, but where exactly. However, only real hunter deck which utilizes secrets is spell hunters, and a minion apparently doesn't have a place there. So, that card might be useful is secret-mech hunter is a thing.

subject 9 is a good card, just dosent have a place in current decks ! its beast, stats arent that bad and if u can get some value from battlecry it would be great.

dr. morrigan is weak. if it was a hunter card or we could somehow activate deathrattle maybe it could see some play.

Worth mentioning that Subject 9 is a beast, and will therefore bring a lot of other benefits to Hunter in particular.

Subject 9 seems very strong to me. It might not fit into any existing decks that well, but seems to me it’s such a powerful effect there might be potential in building a deck around it.

Subject 9 seems like an amazing hunter card.  Might see play in mage, 5 mana 4/4 draw 2 is still REALLY good.  Morrigan seems weak, but not nearly as much as zerek or maybe even flark.  I don't think she will see play, but an effect that basically says "draw and play a card" is really strong.
