Strategy

Ultimate Infestation offers an incredible amount of value, even for a 10 mana card. Comparable to One Night in KarazhanFirelands Portal, Ultimate Infestation also gives 5 armor and 5 cards drawn for only an additional 3 mana. However despite this value, Ultimate Infestation's impact on the board is quite small for a 10 mana card and risks putting the player very behind on tempo. Much of this card's power comes on the turn after you play it. To make up for this, ramping to reach ten mana faster through cards like LegacyWild Growth and LegacyNourish greatly increases the impact of Ultimate Infestation.

The massive amount of card draw complements the Journey to Un'GoroJungle Giants quest well, allowing you to potentially draw many cost-reduced minions, while also helping towards the quest in case it isn't completed yet.

Trivia

If the target of Ultimate Infestation is golden, the Knights of the Frozen ThroneGhoul Infestor token will be golden as well.

The flavour text is a reference to a drop ship pilot from the film Aliens.
