I love when they make a bunch of ridiculous cards legal in expedition so I can play shadow midrange and win a lot.

Would you replace Mandevilla now that it's been nerfed? And if so, with what?

Xenan doesn't really have other options since Express Route sucks

Can someone explain why Mandevilla is in every deck -- it looks like an expensive, slow kill spell that, if used on a small unit, will give you a tiny lifesteal unit, and if used on a real threat gives you nothing. Devouring shadow at 3 seems more appealing (counters recursive nonsense) or deathstrike at 4 is more versatile. Everyone's running it, though, so what am I missing -- mandrake synergy?
cheesyfru Eternal Version: 21.07.21
I've been playing with a similar deck, and Mandevilla never feels bad. Use him to clobber an annoying token, you still have a lifesteal dude left. It can be a 5 mana remove-anything spell. Worst case, slap him on an empty board, you have a 5/5 with lifesteal for good D'Angolo Might fuel.
LightsOutAce Edited Eternal Version: 21.07.21
The ability to run it out as a 5/5 to stabilize against aggro or draw cards off of Might is great. Killing a small unit and being left with a 2/2 or 3/4 Lifesteal is fantastic. Being a slow expensive Deathstrike is a fine alternate mode to gain access to those modes - Deathstrike is not even close to more versatile than a unit that has Deathstrike as one of its three modes. The power in expedition is atrocious so you can't support Devouring Shadow in a deck with double pips in the non-shadow faction. You can fetch Mandevilla with Sinister Rumors or Grenahen (and rumors on a 0/0 Mandevilla is still a Deathstrike).In this particular deck it also gets buffed by Ageless Mentor and Vine Grafter.

Thanks for the reply -- that makes more sense. I think I wanted it to be worse so I wouldn't feel the need to craft it...
LightsOutAce Eternal Version: 21.07.21
Haha, there are certainly non-Mandevilla decks you can build. You can budget sub it for Deathstrike and be fine, too, it just isn't ideal.
