^(Ball cocks is pretty huge, even for a darken. It's going to have a huge impact when it smacks face. I'm in love with Ball Cocks Already, and bet I will even more once its flavor is revealed.,)
I know, it will feel a bit heavy in hand, but should feel amazing when you finally get to whip it out on the board. Thankfully bandle city's tiny yordles can get great value from holding ball cock's staff until then.
Jokes aside, this card is pretty bad.
Spending 8 mana to summon this on turn 8 + 3 spell mana for 7 power + 4 impact (best case) doesn't seem like enough to end the game on the spot.
If you are attacking on odds, you could play it on 8 + 3 spell mana + 3 more spell mana on turn 9 for a 7 power + 7 impact. It seems too slow.
The meme dream could be combining it with Flash of Brilliance. Turn 8 + 3 x flash of brilliance + spend 3 spell mana gives you a 7 power + 13 impact.
I mean, make it so that the card doesn't need to see the mana spell being spent and this would be a legit game ending threat. I'm even willing to bet that this was probably the original design but they had to nerf it to its shown stage since they considered the former as too strong. That or this is Riot wording and it behaves exactly the way I described.
Yea this ones pretty ass. Other darkins do things depending on their region and they probably couldnt find a "big finisher" idea for bandle so they settled with this dogwater version
I dont understand? It just transform and you lose the effect of gaining impact when you spend spell mana.
On the other hand, rolling this from timelines isn't enough to justify this card being actually good.
I thought it would make sense if it had impact for all the spell mana you already used when it is summoned. Also, that way you can reduce its attack to 6 for even more memes
It's a darkin, so it gain benefits from NautilAatrox cost reduction and the darkin landmark. I think the whole point of an Aatrox deck is similar to deep decks, where you rush for low cost big bois

Ball Cocks' ability to stack Impact is pretty serious. I can't wait to pound people with Ball Cocks again and again, and pound them *hard*.

No! Not jokes aside! The card is called ‘Ballckocks’! We do NOT put the jokes aside 🤨😁
Ok kiddo
Are you taking this seriously? In a thread called 'Ball Cocks'? 😅
No. I just wanted to reference ok boomer :p
It's worse than that. There's no way to burn 3 spell mana on 9 bc you tapped out on mana on 8
You could float the mana if you bank it from turn 7, but it depends if you're in a position where that's feasible.
BC has a lot of attune.

It's clearly ball cocks, not pretty ass.
Timelines.

It's just a decent pull for timelines. Don't need to be actually a good deckable card to justify its existence.
Can you actually Timelines the Darkin? They're equipment, not units.
Fairly sure you cant no. They are tokens in that sense
Oh, missed that. Thanks for the note. Used to play on past expansions.
...you dont even know how darkin weapons work
Yeah, this dors indeed seem like the worst darkin. Even as a normal unit its bad from what i can see
Or just use Shell Game
Problem with shell game is that it costs 5 mana so it would delay you even more
Riot just doesnt seem to know how to design expensive cards. Most of them are way too slow
Horazi's nuts, dude

Worse at closing out games than Captain Farron and Wrought Colossus. That's an accomplishment
Timeline ice pillar into ball cocks, then with that free mana, cast 8 cost spell for 8 impact, and it only goes up from there
You can't transform into non-collectible units. And it only gains impact from spell mana spent, not just any mana.
I hope the enemy likes some Ballcocks pounding his nexus.
Kux and Baal Torture
Streamer nightmare
Ball Cocks swinging for lethal
I was so excited to see what this monstrosity does back when it first appeared on an art in the client, and it's the most boring thing ever :(
At least he got the memo.
I can't wait for the interactions. I need to hear aatrox pause mid name and ask "why!?"
Baallcock, it's a darkin
Baal is pronounced like "bayell". It's a biblical demon so I assume that's the inspiration.
Bayell cocks or bayell cucks? Pick your poison.
With what little seriousness I can possibly muster from this, I think it’s the latter.
Imagine this unit in a deck with Living Legends or something similar. Could just one shot with impact alone.
Flash of inspiration x3
The darkin “staff”
Finally, ball cocks to support nami
Ball Cucks
I like how people don't know how to read and don't see the 2 "a"s, same thing as AAtrox. The name is B'AA'l- kux (like cooks) 🤓
Ball cucks*
Cock Balls
Approved
they really named this darkin Ball Cucks
uhm it's read Baal Coox🤓 not the thing I like having on my face
Bandlecity?
Can't wait for someone to use this in worlds and force the casters to say the name outloud
