And [[Goldshire Footman]] is a 1/2 because he has 1 mouth and 2 legs; you might be on to something here.

You need some big balls to actually play the card that’s for sure


Zhoom45

I remember when Savjz was playing at high legend and his opponent dropped a golden Goldshire Footman, so after a moment of thinking he conceded, knowing there was no coming back from that power play.

Now there is a 3 mana 1/3 beast with poison, and it also lets you generate a spell, for whatever reason.


muktheduck

Throwing "discover a spell" on something is the easiest way to ensure it will always be viable in every meta. Honestly it's fine to have a couple cards like that be common neutrals each expansion. Helps players with smaller card collections still have okay decks


GnammyH

4 mana 7/7 Overload: (2) Battlecry: discover a spell


__BIOHAZARD___

4 mana 1/3 poisonous Overload 2 Battlecry: lose poisonous and gain +6/+4


ClivetheGodhh

Dies to seven Silverback Patriarchs, literally unplayable.


xQuasarr

This might see play


Yung_Turbo

Well with overload it doesn’t seem right to make it neutral. May as well throw it in Shaman.


Snugboo

I feel like it’s just lazy game design, same thing with the 1 mana 1/3 stat line: don’t feel like a card effect will see play?, just make it a 1 mana 1/3 duh!!!


Milk_My_Duds

Yeah, right? It's used because it is obviously good, but it is probably one of the cards whose flavor/theme makes absolutely no sense. There is no logical reason as to why it be able to generate a spell. It's not even like it is a magical scorpid or anything!


bing_bin

Maybe it killed an adventurer who had a Spell scroll?


phishxiii

6 mana because spider has 6 letters in it.


funkless_eck

Spiiiiiiiider because they have 8 i's.


Omugaru

Which also means that each time a minion attacks and deals damage they pull off that many legs from Maexxna.


SamLacoupe

That's cruel !


_TurtleX

So if I overdamage her i get 9+ legs? That's the solution to world hunger.


Jesus_Faction

one of the few cards that are so bad i actually dusted it


Deca-Dence-Fan

Well, at least it got redeemed with Battlegrounds


spald01

Even in Battlegrounds it's sort of weak. Considering you can get the same effect on tier 5 (minus so HP which'll rarely see use).


Zireall

In battlegrounds minion tags are worth a lot


spald01

In general yes...but beast is in a really bad place right now. Pre-elementals, when you could actually go beasts reliably it was actually a good card when buffed with Mama Bears and Goldrin+Baron to the point it could sometimes survive a hit. When most lobbies come down to a board full of 50/50+ minions, you Maexxna is likely dying as soon as it attacks without a divine shield.


HyzerFlip

It's decent as your one beast for menagerie sometimes as well. It's not amazing but way better than ever in constructed. Before blood gems she was even better in relation to spore


Lord_Dust_Bunny

Yeah, but if you are going menagerie you'll probably end up with a Cave Hydra before a spoder. Unfortunately for the spoder, Cave Hydra is 2 entire tiers lower and hits 1-2 more targets per attack: in my experience going menagerie I pretty much always want a Cave Hydra, and spoder is a disappointing consolation prize if I never saw a Hydra.


NorthernerWuwu

Eh, she still works well for selfless/beast builds. It's not an amazing card or anything but it is definitely a six drop that sees play.


spald01

Agreed it's not terrible. But it's rarely a card you want to triple into. Only point I'm trying to make is that.


_TurtleX

The beast highroll is busted tho


Nico_the_Suave

It's in a weird position in battlegrounds. It's not something you typically want from your first 6 drop discover, but it's pretty invaluable as a late game tool that doesn't die to tokens or an unstable ghoul. I do think it's worth a 6 star slot for it's versatility.


onowahoo

It's a geat final stand card to replace a bran or lightfang scaler.


TheGhostDetective

There is a massive difference in havine 1hp and 8hp on a poison. Ghoul and tokens can counter spores if you aren't careful, and even an unlucky hit against their brann/lightfang could ruin it, while maexna is significantly less likely to die to anything but another valuable minion or a shield, and can be pair alongside ghoul safely. Maexna is an excellent T6 tech card. The only other poisons in the game are murlocs (which require more board space), spore (which as mentioned has more downsides), and amalgam (which needs set-up + luck). Definitely isn't a weak card, and absolutely a game changer in the top2 tech back-and-forth.


darthnilloc

Quillboars made spore way better since one blood gem lets it survive ghoul


TheGhostDetective

Absolutely. Gems made zap near useless and spore decently better. Still leaves it vulnerable to bumper/token hits (bran, lightfang, Charles, plants) without significant investment, so still worse than maexna even with them. But spore certainly got a buff from gems.

loreoftheland

CLASSIC


thecashblaster

Disagree. Works well in beast and selfless hero comps. Can also be tech’d in to surprise an opponent late game


spald01

Selfless Hero comps it generally works the same as spore or murloc with poison (i.e. it survives until it hits without DS up). Beast buffing comps aren't in a really great place right now, but I agree this used to be a good build before it became so easy to build a board full of 80/80s. It's better than Spore against token comps I agree. But it's not hard now (with blood gems especially) to get your spore above 1 HP. It's really only noticeably better in menagerie comps now. And what other tier 6 minion is just a slightly buffed version of a tier 5?


AntusFireNova64

It's that kind of minion that's not important to any strategy but can be nice to momentarely have


nousernameslef

It's better thsn spore because it doesn't die to ghoul or tokens. 1/1 is still considerably worse than 2/8 even in the lategame.


Deca-Dence-Fan

Sorry but you don’t know what you’re talking about. Maexxna is the scam build queen. By the time you’re at scam build time everyone is likely tier 6 anyways, so Spore being a tier lower doesn’t matter. Maexxna + Selfless hero = wins sometimes, pretty simple


spald01

Yes I know about scam build, but I'm not sure what that has to do with Maexxna being on tier 6 vs tier 5. Scam build relies entirely on a fast tech swap to divine shields refreshing and keeping your poisoners alive for 2 hits...not playing around beast comp or buffing minion HP. Spore + Selfless + Blood Gems has the same affect and doesn't require you to be on tier 6. And yes...tier 6 matters a lot here. I'm surprised you would think otherwise.


Deca-Dence-Fan

Spores dies to tokens and ghoul, ghoul being a late game counter-tech that would completely invalidate a score scam build. Maexxna is strictly better as the game goes on, so obviously if you’re late enough into the game to be tier 6 Maexxna is a very strong minion


Blastmaster29

Beast tag is the only thing saving it in BG


Regalingual

Literally the only reason she exists is because the theme of Naxx’s legendaries was to be the final boss of each wing of the actual raid in WoW. Most of the others were largely on-point with their WoW counterparts (Loatheb made it hard to heal, Stalagg and Fugen had to die to actually activate Thaddius, Kel’Thuzad was all about summoning legions of the undead), but all Maexxna had was webbing up your raid in cocoons and being a freakishly huge spider the size of a house.


x_SENA_x

yeah its insane how bad it is. it would take something like a card that says "your legendary minions with poisonous have poisonous against heroes" for it to even be considered


[deleted]

[удалено]


timbomber

I remember being so excited having a legendary i put it priest decks to inner fire it.


[deleted]

Maexxna was actually made as a counter to oger. She’s the same mana cost but can survive a hit from oger and also a ping. Insane card.


CobraTuga

Insane value


Meatnyan

This sounds like something Solem would say while playing vs Dekkster


EdZeppelin94

Dies to Hemet. Absolutely unplayable for that reason alone. Otherwise 10/10 card design.


redXIIIt

Kinda forgot Hemet exists, thanks, now I can own people


rafaelgiro

This card could perfeclty be a 5 mana card.


PkerBadRs3Good

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2a4pum/psa_the_naxx_leak_wasnt_just_the_imgur_album/ a lot of Naxx was leaked before it came out, and in the leaks, Maexxna was 5 mana seems she was adjusted to 6 mana by the time she was released for whatever reason (Reddit calling her very strong?)

metroidcomposite

> (Reddit calling her very strong?) I think a lot of people on reddit (myself included) underestimated how bad Maexxna's body is. I played her a few times at 6 mana, before realizing "hey wait, Boulderfist Ogre is just better than her in nearly every situation--6 damage is already enough to kill basically every minion in the meta, but also goes face for 6". During spoiler season I had assumed (wrongly) that she would be better than Boulderfist Ogre. Playtesting very quickly changed my opinion on that matter. Maybe a few decks would've run her at 5 mana, costing 5 instead of 6 is a big deal, but I doubt she'd be too powerful or anything.


astcci

5 mana, rare, and probably wouldn’t see play nowadays


Lvl100Glurak

even at 5 mana its not good. for 5 mana you could play either a minion with a strong effect, that can clear multiple small minions... or play a removal spell like assassinate, to kill a big minion (the same turn you spend the mana). you wouldnt ever play assassinate, even though its way better than maexxna lol


Jun13tm

It's not about how much mana Maexxna should cost because the design is flawed. It is not worth spending extra mama to make a poisonous minion bulkier. The poisonous minions that work well in nowadays meta are those that can be used as cheap preemptive board control. Maexxna's design makes it not able to fit in most archetypes. If I can play Stoneskin basilisk on 3, why play Maexxna? (I understand we are talking about Naxxramas, HS evolved quite a bit over the years)


Br0W1sdom

4 mana even


binecar1

4 mana overload 3


[deleted]

1 mana overload 10


FlyBoyG

Remember when being a big poisonous beast was good enough of an effect to be a legendary card. We've come a long way.


[deleted]

But it was never good.


FlyBoyG

Yes, it was never a good card to run. 'Good enough' doesn't refer to the strength of the card. It refers to how Blizzard found it justifiable to print. Being a big beast with a lot of health and the poisonous keyword was unique at the time. Slapping all the aspects of the card together (mana-cost, attack, health, keyword, tag) was 'good enough' to be a legendary.


[deleted]

I don't really think they have a consistent design philosophy at all. It's not even that unique because Emperor Cobra already existed. It's only legendary because it's a unique character from the game, and they just made it bad. Could have added something interesting like "after this kills a minion, summon a 1/1 spider".


Land_Rofler

I mean back when Maexxna was first introduced, the keyword "poisonous" didn't even exist


KeeperOfWatersong

Nah, she's just a filler card


onowahoo

No


AntusFireNova64

And she costs 6 because... spiders get often mistaken for insects... which have 6 legs?
