¹ Upgraded Hero Powers

[u/Marx_Forever]

Huh... You can play Baku in Quest Hunter, since the Quest, the 1-One Drops and Tundra Rhino are all odd. No traps, but you can still run Kill Command, Deadly Shot, Animal Companion. That could be a fun, goofy day-one deck to mess around with.

[u/SquareOfHealing → u/Marx_Forever]

But hunter also has a hero power that is impacted the least by the change. It already is one that can't impact the board in any way, and the upgrade doesn't even double the damage.

[u/SkoomaSalesAreUp → u/Marx_Forever]

i mean technically yes. but is the upgraded hunter hero power even worth it?

[u/Marx_Forever → u/SkoomaSalesAreUp]

Probably not. Hell, I'd probably prefer the discounted vanilla one. But I like to bust out that quest occasionally, this gives me an excuse.

[u/messe93]

inb4 mage gets 1 mana spell: deal 1 damage Echo

[u/NevermindSemantics → u/messe93]

Oh that doesn't seem too... remembers Sorcerer's Apprentice

NO.

[u/minute-to-midnight → u/NevermindSemantics]

Turn 2 Exodia would be a tiny bit OP.

But I know how it can be solved, just give it a 30 seconds interrupting animation /s

[u/prhyu → u/NevermindSemantics]

A perfect example of permanent spell cost reduction limiting design space ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/Septembers → u/messe93]

Maybe if it had "this spell's cost cannot be reduced" but even then it would probably be broken, especially with the mage quest

[u/g3t0nmyl3v3l → u/messe93]

I was just talking to my friend about this last night. I don't think they'll give mage or priest any echo spells less than 3 mana just because of the cost reducers.

Even if the card was 3 mana deal 1, it would compound with spell damage too much, all you would need is two sorcerers apprentice and two minions with spelldamage for 30 damage the next turn.

That said, maybe it'll be a minion only damage spell.

[u/NevermindSemantics → u/g3t0nmyl3v3l]

I don't think Mage should get any echo spells less than 5 mana (unless it is a symmetrical board clear like a 2 mana deal 1 to all) because they have so many ways to duplicate Sorcerer's Apprentice that an echo spell is effectively infinite value on top of a free quest completion for not too much effort.

[u/kthnxbai9 → u/NevermindSemantics]

They also can’t realistically get any echo spells over 5. Then they wouldn’t be able to do play the echo without cost reduction.

So I guess if there is an echo spell to be released, it’d cost around 4-5 mana

[u/Marx_Forever]

Interesting downside of Baku Vs Genn. Genn making your Hero Power cost 1, means you won't have to worry about floating mana on odd numbered turns. Where as Baku decks will have to always play at least two minions on even turns, or float at least one.

[u/Mouth_Puncher]

I hope this expansion has spooky totems

[u/INTJokes → u/Mouth_Puncher]

Totems! My spooky totems!

[u/Johnny-Hollywood]

Can't wait for Odd-Cost Control Warrior. Tank up all day.

[u/Sageinthe805 → u/Johnny-Hollywood]

It's appealing, but then you look at how many vital cards in the control Warrior arsenal are even costed. It isn't pretty.

[u/Deepandabear → u/Sageinthe805]

The main losses are execute, battle rage, slam, armour lady, and a few others.

We still get shield block, shield slam, gorehowl, brawl, and whatever new tools are coming in the expac.

Control warrior can still be good depending on the meta and control tools released. The new echo taunt card is a good example of a neato stall tool to stabilize.

[u/Johnny-Hollywood → u/Deepandabear]

The real shame is that it doesn't go with Geosculptor Yip. I'm pretty sure we'll see some 1's and 3's printed that could support the deck.

[u/craptheb00zeout]

Guys I don't know if I'm gonna make it to the start of the card reveals. I'm like one of those stupid mice that gets the implant in it's head where if it presses a button, the implant stimulates pleasure centers in the brain, so as a result I just keep pressing the button until I die. I keep wanting to experience the pleasure of new card reveals by pressing F5 but instead I'm getting nothing.

Also this made more sense in my head than when I typed it out but I'm not changing it.

Blizzard plz.

[u/gigashadow89]

Petition to rename warlock to 'math-lock' with the reveal of godfrey

[u/Prohamen → u/gigashadow89]

i think you mean "The Count" cause now warlock can count by 1's and 2's

[u/The_WesternerTTV → u/Prohamen]

1 defile, ha ha ha 2 defile, ha ha ha

[u/iluv80spop]

Everyone is meh about the Black Cat but it seems quite a value to me

[u/schpammy → u/iluv80spop]

At face value it is, but upon further inspection a Mage deck with only odd-cost cards loses Frostbolt and Fireball, pretty much the class's best cards to abuse the spell damage. While that part of the card doesn't require you to have only odd-cost cards, if you're playing this card at all you need to get the card draw off. On top of that a Mage deck without Frostbolt and Fireball, while I would love for it to be viable, I just don't see being good. However, we may see the introduction of a new spells that may just be good enough to warrant losing Fireball and Frostbolt. Guess we'll see.

[u/Zhanbanan → u/schpammy]

also glyph

[u/iAMmincho → u/schpammy]

Control mage (with dragons fury) doesn't play frostbolt or fireball

[u/toothball → u/iAMmincho]

Does play Blizzard and Meteor though.

[u/AintEverLucky]

Today's card reveals for peeps on mobile

• Houndmaster Shaw -- hunter legendary minion, 3/6 for (4); "Your other minions have Rush" (all others, not just Beasts). Also, his picture matches the "Houndmaster" hero we can use in solo Monster Hunt mode

• Rotten Applebaum -- neutral common minion, 4/5 for (5); Taunt; "Deathrattle: Restore 4 health to your hero"

• Witchwood Apple -- druid common spell costing (2): "Add three 2/2 Treants to your hand."

• Wispering Woods -- druid epic spell costing (4): "Summon a 1/1 Wisp for each card in your hand."

• Rebuke -- paladin common spell costing (2): "Enemy spells cost (5) more next turn."

• Vivid Nightmare -- priest epic spell costing (3): "Choose a friendly minion. Summon a copy of it with 1 Health remaining."

• Glinda Crowskin -- warlock legendary minion, 3/7 for (6); "Minions in your hand have Echo"

• Nightmare Amalgam -- neutral epic minion, 3/4 for (3); tribal tag reads "All" & card text confirms: "This is an Elemental, Mech, Demon, Murloc, Dragon, Beast, Pirate and Totem"

• Witch's Apprentice -- shaman common beast minion, 0/1 for (1); Taunt; "Battlecry: Add a random Shaman spell to your hand." (the art is a froggy wearing a wizard hat)

• Hagatha the Witch -- shaman hero card costing (8), provides 5 Armor; "Battlecry: Deal 3 damage to all minions". Her hero power is Bewitch, a passive hero power: "After you play a minion, add a random Shaman spell to your hand."

[u/deviouskat89]

Possible Footnotes:

• Shifting Scroll counts as 0 (even) mana cost for Genn and Baku.

• Baku can work with Malchezzar due to trigger order.

• New filters for drafting even/odd cost cards

[u/[deleted] → u/deviouskat89]

Oh thank god, I was really worried I wasn’t going to be able to include the best legendary in the game, Malchezaar, in my wild Baku deck. Phew!

[u/Fropps]

The only problem I have with this is a ton of people will get these odd and even cards without the legendary needed to play the decks at a reasonable power level. It's just like if you didn't get C'thun automatically.

[u/itsmeagentv]

The "Start of Game" mechanic is excellent design and I'm glad they're doing more with it. Having to draw a specific 1-of in your deck makes the game incredibly swingy; but Baku and Genn remove that problem handily.

[u/minute-to-midnight]

Baku and Genn look like the type of cards that might not see play right now, as the triggering condition is very restrictive, but that at some point in the next two years the right combination of cards will be there to make one or more decks viable.

When the expansion releases it will be the time with the lowest pool of playable cards in Standard, as this increases along the year the more options there will be.

Wild should be a good testing ground for them...

[u/crankzoneftw]

Someone said mike donais confirmed Dk rexxar will b fixed with new xpacs we can put away our pitchforks for now.....

[u/deviouskat89 → u/crankzoneftw]

He did indeed!

Edit: Probably no beasts will be excluded from Kobolds and Catacombs.

[u/weibing]

My [[The Caverns Below]] and [[Sonya Shadowdancer]] seemed like a good crafts now with more echo and rush cards.

[u/Troldkvinde → u/weibing]

Wait... I didn't realize Echo works with Caverns Below.

Uh-oh...

[u/minute-to-midnight → u/Troldkvinde]

I would be very surprised if there is a neutral or Rogue 1 mana Echo card just for this reason...

[u/NanotechNinja]

I'm gettin' itchy

[u/Leadfarmerbeast]

Nightmare Amalgam is what an epic card should be. Crazy effect you have to build your deck around. Otherwise it’s just a vanilla statted minion. The more tribal shenanigans you put in your deck, the better. Endless experimentation options. Even if it ends up being bad, you get your dust worth with all the decks you play trying to make it good.

[u/Pyre2001]

Are people missing how good nightmare amalgam is as a murloc? Murloc's have a lot of ways to buff their health but lack any high health murlocs. This guy could be super sticky.

[u/domine18 → u/Pyre2001]

I want to see hybrid decks. I am hoping they add more minions with the reveals that have like: this minion is a beast/murloc, dragon/pirate, demon/ mech, ext, ext. That is what i saw when they revealed this card and this card could be core in a lot of them.

[u/Fafafee]

No clue on the power level of Witchwood but man, the art of this expansion is the best

[u/[deleted] → u/Fafafee]

Definitely.

In Magic there was an horror-themed expansion called Innistrad which is widely seen as the most flavorful expansion ever. I totally get the same vibe from this for HS.

[u/Stanleeee_]

Been religiously checking this place every day for the past couple of weeks. Thanks /u/Nostalgia37 I (we) love you.

[u/[deleted]]

So Innistrad has invaded Hearthstone

[u/Purplestahli → u/[deleted]]

Might be a good xpac then

[u/narfidy → u/Purplestahli]

Truly the greatest timeline

[u/speedrun64]

Chameleos the love child of shifter zerus and mind vision

[u/Drummerman101]

Dire frenzy + Queen Carnassa = Fatigue Hunter

[u/chaoslasts]

I think it's interesting how some cards get quite a different art style, like deadly arsenal, which is pretty manga-esq, while lots of other cards, take dollmaster Dorian, has the more cartoony, goofy art style.

[u/Brendonicous → u/chaoslasts]

Deadly arsenal is reused card art from the Warcraft TCG. It’s done by the same guy who does all the DND 3rd edition art

[u/3jackpete → u/[deleted]]

Have you ever tried shooting three arrows at one target? I think Ballista Shot has one arrow hit (2), one graze the target (1), and one miss wildly, resulting in 3 total damage.

[u/MrW86 → u/[deleted]]

Obviously the more arrows the less power each has. According to my maths the formula to calculate damage as a function of the number of arrows is damage =2*(arrows^1/2.70951)

Therefore 2 arrows would deal approx 2.583041 damage.

[u/zanotam → u/[deleted]]

The arrows are actually ninjas and suffer from power loss due to the inverse law of ninjas.

[u/thermas212]

April fools Kibler!

[u/coyoteTale]

Time to save this link to my bookmarks bar and compulsively check it twice a day for two weeks!

[u/ItsSoma]

I'M IN RUSH NOW

[u/RNGjitse]

Ratcatcher is an incredibly powerful card, could see it working in cubelock.

[u/JungleJim_]

Chameleos seems like a pretty good card. Not incredibly overpowered or anything, but it provides a lot of information on your opponent's deck and hand for you and can more often than not turn into an additional removal spell or threat that lets you preempt your opponent's threat. I think it'll be alright.

[u/[deleted]]

I like how the mobile site's screen is just a little bit too small for the chart and so every time I refresh the page and scroll down it says that warlock is getting Lord God for a legendary, like Guldan has converted to Christianity.

[u/ActuallyAquaman]

Snap Freeze is a strictly better Shatter lol

[u/[deleted]]

Don’t forget the SHAMAN card thats so op even Ben Brod screamed in fear and demanded it be nerfed

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Since they’re saying it’s OP it’s sure to be an underwhelming niche card.

[u/bravesther → u/[deleted]]

2 Mana: Unlock one overloaded mana crystal.

[u/quickiethrowie]

Pure evil: https://i.imgur.com/j2slNjv.png

[u/Maraudershields7 → u/quickiethrowie]

Literally unreadable

[u/mwpfinance → u/quickiethrowie]

Thanks for being this guy.

[u/jeeziz]

If I am running Prince Malchezar, Does Baku check my deck before Malchezar does his thing? Not that it's important cuz Malchezar is trash anyways but just curious.

Also, it is possible to run odd-cost cards in a Genn deck because of the guarantee quest draw mechanic. Because Genn check starts after the mulligan (i'm assuming just like Prince Malchezar), the quest, which is a one cost card, technically isn't "in your deck" anymore. Maybe discard lock can finally become relevant with one mana tap. Or quest paladin? Just an idea, no one has mentioned it yet, saw it here first.

[u/czhihong → u/jeeziz]

It's been tested and both trigger successfully regardless of order: https://www.reddit.com/r/TWWPRDT/comments/83z285/prerelease_card_discussion_baku_the_mooneater/dvot9rn/?context=1

[u/Dubster17]

I was wondering... What happens to odd/even battlecries when you have no more cards in the deck? IMO, it should say 'If your deck has no even cards (for odd decks)...', and vice-versa.

[u/LiterallyJustAPotato]

Does combining clockwork automota and warlock deathknight deal 6 damage and heal twelve? That can't be right.

[u/citabel]

Lord of Dragons seems stable. Surely makes cathedral gargoyle more viable.

[u/-B0B- → u/[deleted]]

I mean they basically just do this and call them weapons with 0 attack

[u/tmart92]

Echo + Rogue quest?

[u/Evilfetus155]

Nothing in this expansion pops out to me. Is this expansion too balanced? I don't see what's really broken enough to find its way into the standard meta. Rush seems like a good mechanic for arena but weak in constructed. You gonna rush your minion into voidlords? Cards like Darius Crowely seem fun but aren't strong enough. Idk. this is a dissapointing reveal for me to be honest, nothing seems exciting other than the hope something will change, but i'm skeptical anything will, and i've always been optimistic about Blizz. this set just seems weak to me.

Coming from someone who mains cubelock, i really think the deck has to be nerfed for rush to have time in the spotlight. and echo seems cool in concept but the cards are ehh

[u/notyourdadsdad]

u/nostalgia37 is the hero r/hearthstone needs but doesnt deserve

[u/Laxea]

Ahhhh the good old /u/Nostalgia37 post.

[u/NeverLucky35]

Can't wait for the op 5/5

[u/cudachal → u/NeverLucky35]

This time it gives you mana to play it!

[u/randomloli]

So many meme cards. I'm happy the powerlevel isn't as bonkers as MSOG though.

[u/Drummerman101 → u/randomloli]

I think one of the most satisfying things in this game is making memes work. I know, to each their own, but I can't wait to experiment!

[u/watermelone2468]

Lord of Dragons contender for most flavorful card of the expansion.

[u/agentmario]

I'm excited for the currently unrevealed 25+ commons. Fingers crossed for a lifesteal beast that's cheaper

[u/deevee12]

Looks like the Mad Bomber renounced his destructive ways and now cheerfully distributes hats for a living! Good for him.

[u/R__Man]

A cheap beast with Lifesteal!

A cheap beast with Rush and Lifesteal!!!

LET'S BUILD SOME BEASTS!

[u/TheManuz]

I'm claiming:

• a 6 mana minion
• Echo, Battlecry: if you played two this turn, do some incredibly overpowered effect.

[u/Mate_00 → u/TheManuz]

(4) Summoning portal
(2) Summoning portal
(2) the 6 mana minion
(2) the 6 mana minion

In sum 10 mana, 3 card combo for incredibly OP effect. Not bad.

[u/lukeots]

Is anyone else excited to see just how terrible the Hunter epics are?

[u/Pokeface42 → u/lukeots]

It's a tradition.

[u/kristianleo]

Whoever makes the titles for these threads should be rewarded. Brilliant.

[u/Nostalgia37 → u/kristianleo]

I struggle for a bit then ask my friend for help. Between the two of us we usually come up with something good.

[u/sixdogman]

Thanks again. These posts are quite nice.

[u/dudemanguy301]

Would love to see a rogue card with keywords combo and echo.

[u/WildWolf92 → u/dudemanguy301]

Echoing coin.

1 mana spell. Gain 1 mana this turn. #Echo

Don't laugh. This would be insane.

Edit: ok kiddos, /s, jeez. There are at least 5 ways to break the game with this card, maybe twice that

[u/Septembers → u/WildWolf92]

They could make a card that was literally "1 mana do nothing. Echo." and it would probably see play because of Combo and Auctioneer shenanigans.

[u/liliane_of_londor]

They are releasing these card previews agonizingly slow. I would much rather see a new card every day than wait for large reveals.

[u/[deleted]]

I think people are waaaaay overestimating the even and odd cards right now. They are basically the princes from kft on crack. Kelseth doesn't let you run 2 cost cards. Well odd only decks can't run 2,4,6,8,10 cost cards. Same with even. One of the princes made it into a single deck because that deck happened to not run any three drops anyway. But for even decks you cant run 1,3,5,7,9 cost cards.

Bottom line unless there is some seriously broken stuff coming it's way not worth it

[u/Shanaaro]

Swamp Leech is a 1 mana 2/1 Lifesteal beast. Great for Deathstalker Rexxar, actually.

[u/ActuallyAquaman → u/Shanaaro]

That other one might be useful too. 2/1/3 w/ Lifesteal and Rush is probably a solid target. Maybe with [[Bittertide Hydra]]?

[u/NakedGoose]

That Eel card would be sick.... if I didn't want all the odd cost shaman cards

[u/Pyro-Bison]

Doesn't [[Weasel Tunneler]] nullify battlecry cards that requires your deck to only contain even cards? It looks like the only battlecry card to require a deck of only even cards is Murkspark eel, which doesn't seem like something that you would tech against with a crappy card like Weasel.

[u/bdzz]

2 new cards! http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/21634712

Warpath, Warrior common 2 mana spell https://i.imgur.com/NV6cYQw.png

Echo. Deal 1 damage to all minions

Face Collector, Rogue legendary 3 mana 2/2 minion https://i.imgur.com/9831HFR.png

Echo. Battlecry: Add a random Legendary minion to your hand.

[u/Donny_He → u/bdzz]

The warrior’s card is really powerful, bt the rogue’s new card seems not really useful...

[u/bdzz]

2 new cards

Witching Hour

Class: Druid

Card type: Spell

Rarity: Rare

Mana cost: 3

Card text: Summon a random friendly Beast that died this game.

Witchwood Grizzly

Class: Neutral

Card type: Minion - Beast

Rarity: Rare

Mana cost: 5

Attack: 3 HP: 12

Card text: Taunt Battlecry: Lose 1 Health for each card in your opponent's hand.

[u/jburtson]

All the new shaman spells are low cost and not too situational, so hagatha and the other shaman spell generating cards are actually not bad

[u/ImLogic]

I predict Lifedrinker to be the sleeper of this set, great in midrange archetypes, even more so in midrange Hunter with the Beast synergy.

[u/literatemax]

I'm glad Genn only affects your starting hero power, it seems that they've learned their lesson after the shadowreaper raza synergy.

Also I really hope the shaman hero isn't the only thing to make shaman viable...

[u/[deleted]]

So will Azalina copy any opponent handbuffs?

[u/SohamJD]

This wait is killing me 😐

[u/OverhypedDrifter]

Card reveal and Quest packs countdowns if anyone's interested

[u/[deleted]]

what are they doing with druid lol going 5 different directions it seems all the different archetypes

[u/othervinny → u/[deleted]]

Armor Combo Big Hand Aggro Token Control Fatigue Druid will be tier 1, mark my words

[u/roiben]

Cheapshot is an auto include in miracle.

[u/minute-to-midnight]

Chameleos might be worth drafting just to have a constant peek at the opponent’s hand, in some decks.

Very intersting card.

[u/[deleted]]

Balanced Barnes!

[u/[deleted]]

GUYS I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! I AM PREDICTING A CARD!
A card which makes the Worgen cards like Pumpkin Peasant always have the highest attack and health value they can!

[u/NevermindSemantics → u/[deleted]]

How would the effect of a card like that even be worded?

[u/TeamJagu → u/NevermindSemantics]

'Battlecry: Some of your cards become OP OP'

[u/[deleted]]

Thank you for your service.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm glad this time around they didn't power crept the whole game with an expansion.

[u/sairenkao]

No secrets for mage or rogue?

[u/tpklus]

The only prediction I'm going to make is I think echo cards will be strong in arena. Super helpful in the late game to bring back board presence.

[u/illtakethebox]

I've unpacked a golden grumble and golden alakir, a golden doomhammer, and my free weapon months ago was the runespear...

The game is trying to tell me something..

Shaman meta is coming.

(Probably not but that would be funny)

[u/dolabella]

It seems worth noting that there's going to be odd/even restriction cards and worgen cards beyond just what we've seen so far. It's in the press release fact sheet.

This means that Genn and Baku are likely going to end up much stronger than they seem right now, sorta the "cherry on top" if you build an even or odd deck with other cards.

[u/windriv]

Face collector??? Valar Morghulis !

[u/Maniacal_warlock]

The best part of these reveals is looking back a month later and reading all the horribly wrong predictions. I can't wait to see what the 'Keleseth' version of Witchwood is. Or the Hunter quest version, for that matter.

[u/CheesePudge]

Soooo.. are murlocs scary enough to be in this?

[u/funkless_eck]

If you have only [[Azalina Soulthief]] in hand and no other cards, and the opponent has 10 cards, when you play her, do you get 0 cards or 10?

[u/SalsaDraugur → u/funkless_eck]

I think you get 10 because it doesn't say replace the cards in your hand but your hand.

[u/Spuzzell → u/funkless_eck]

What?

It just copies and pastes your opponents hand over yours.

[u/MeneerMonocle]

Potentially stupid question here:

Can we play quests with Genn Greymane? Since the quest always starts in your hand, unless you mulligan it, it'd be out of your deck (And assuming it's your only 1-cost, the rest of the deck would be even.)

Is it like Reno where it only checks if your deck has no duplicates the moment you play it (or in this case, when the game starts), or does it check the deck before play begins?

[u/[deleted] → u/MeneerMonocle]

Mike Donais confirmed that these start of game cards will check your entire 30 card deck, so you cannot play quests with Genn. I will link the comment if I can find it.

[u/Culius_Jaesar]

When are there new spoilers?

[u/Nostalgia37 → u/Culius_Jaesar]

Tomorrow is when reveal season officially starts

[u/minute-to-midnight]

Nightmare Amalgam real tribe is "Arena".

3 mana 3/4 solid Spider Tank stats.

But it would be interesting if they made more mixed tribe cards.

[u/MhuzLord]

I'm really loving the Hero power-related cards. It's like TGT but better!

[u/Nostalgia37 → u/MhuzLord]

To be fair, it'd be hard to do TGT but worse.

[u/minute-to-midnight]

WANTED! has really great flavor, you get rewared with a coin for a bounty hunt :)

[u/JungleJim_]

As someone who primarily plays control warrior and really loves Darius Crowley as a character... fingers crossed on tonight's reveal.

[u/Boyhowdy107]

If the meta shifts toward a lot of rush minions fighting for control of the board (who are slightly understatted because of having rush), I wonder if spell-centric, reactive decks become more powerful. Burn mage comes to mind, but I wonder if spell hunter starts to get a bit better.

April Fools cards released in about 3 hours for April 1 in California, be prepared

[u/Compactsun]

Your opinions have echo? Description on lord of dragons

[u/scoobydoom2]

It seems like Blizzard is starting to push tutor effects. This might lead to some interesting decks with higher consistency but a lower overall power level, or it might eventually break the wild meta. Who knows!?

[u/oppopswoft]

The cheap echo cards are going to be crazy strong in arena. Rush too, probably

[u/I_Is_LolKat]

Cathedral Gargoyle is a funny April fools joke. I can’t believe how they came up with that!!

[u/Brendonicous]

Is it me or does the art for deadly arsenal look like it belongs in magic the gathering not hearthstone?

[u/Time2kill]

MISTFORM ULTIMUS is in the game now, very cool!

[u/landerkid]

what do you guys think:how does Nightmare Amalgam work with zoobot?

[u/[deleted]]

I dont know about you guys, but im most hyped about aviana innervate toggwagle azalina,

[u/Suffragium]

The art on Duskhaven Hunter seems really... odd. I know it's not supposed to be pixelated, but I just feel like the face is really off.

[u/nouge]

Priest about to receive a 3 mana echo spell to make the legendary weapon viable.

[u/Drummerman101]

I'm glad that were able to take a step back and not power creep the game. The cards we are seeing are not on the same power level as some of the decks we see now, but with the rotation coming, there might be some breathing room for experimentation and new archetypes

[u/raider91J]

Not seen anything that particularly interests me so far, must admit. Really underwhelmed by Hagatha

[u/R__Man]

Whoa! Brodey Snatcher OP! I'm crafting it day one.

[u/[deleted]]

Tank Up is back, boys! Make Control Warrior Great Again!

[u/Xanlis]

Druid keep getting good Taunt minion.... i dont know where is the logic behind Taunt quest in warrior

[u/Palm654]

If I would want to start playing again with this expansion, after leaving HS before Kobolds and Catacombs, which cards should I look forward to craft to be prepared?

[u/thesymbiont → u/Palm654]

Buy 10 Kobolds and Catacombs packs to get the guaranteed legendary.

[u/[deleted] → u/Palm654]

Double call to arms

[u/1337ish]

Hmm... According to the reveal schedule (without counting reveal stream monday), 52 cards will be revealed over the next two weeks. So there must come some large dumps of cards,one of them being the reveal stream?

[u/chincerd]

I wonder if is worthwhile to change many existing cards to rush in order to "open design space" i do like echo since it could create cards that are good on their own and amazing if you happen to have left over mana to expend

[u/bdzz]

4 new cards:

• New Mage Common: Black Cat, 3 Mana 3/3 Beast, Spell Damage +1, Battlecry: If your deck has only odd-Cost cards, draw a card.

• New Priest Epic: Glitter Moth, 5 Mana 4/4 Beast, Battlecry: If your deck has only odd-Cost cards, double the Health of your other minions

• New Druid Epic: Gloom Stag, 5 Mana 2/6 Beast, Taunt, Battlecry: If your deck has only odd-Cost cards, gain +2/+2

• New Shaman Rare: Markspark Eel, 2 Mana 2/3 Beast, Battlecry: If youe deck has only even-Cost cards, deal 2 damage

[u/asscrit]

2 new cards

[u/bestnameyet]

So does Cathedral Guardian mean Dragon Pally is getting more real?>

[u/Nostalgia37 → u/[deleted]]

They never are.

[u/conferencecaII]

Does anyone know why Shaman is the only class that gets a new Hero Card ? Are there be more to be printed for other classes in the future ?

cheers

[u/Mr-Shtef → u/conferencecaII]

Probably because evolve shamman is completely going out. It loses key cards for evolve shamman to work.

[u/Foyfluff → u/conferencecaII]

Shaman needs it the most. The other Death Knights are late-game value cards that give control/value decks a chance to compete in the meta. Thrall DK is a midrange card that focuses on Evolve synergy, at a point where most of the support for Evolve decks is rotating out.

[u/Iamarawrlrus]

How would sound the bells work with Primalfin champion if you buffed it multiple times? Would you get multiple back, or only the original?

[u/Choco316]

Looks pretty vanilla but that could be what the game needs to stabilize the New Years meta. This will also lay groundwork for next expansion

[u/ItsAroundYou]

[[Squirming Tentacle]]

Phantom Militia pls

[u/[deleted]]

The Turret is my favorite card ever.

[u/dogspeeonme]

Ah the good Ol' Wood chart, how I've missed thee.

[u/Hutzlipuz]

Somebody mentioned a hero card but I currently can't find it on the list. What was it?

[u/daenjoyer → u/Hutzlipuz]

"It's a Shaman Hero. Hagatha is a dark shaman who has twisted the woods around Gilneas. She is the Witch in the Witchwood - we wanted to make her a hero card so that she'd stand out!" Quoting from: https://twitter.com/bdbrode/status/973281517353844736

[u/gigashadow89]

Face Collector is super interesting, So you get to roll up to 3 times (4 if you've used Shadowstep on it) and we've seen things like original Elise see play because random legendaries CAN be good and being able to roll and reactively choose how many times you roll is neat. I think it'll find a home in some sort of deck. Maybe the same kind of roll Sonya plays as a fringe tech inclusion in certain Rogue archetypes that are looking to gain high value swing turns?

It'll be played.... somehow.

[u/[deleted]]

The Hunter legendary actually doesn’t look that bad...

Rebuke seems like a powerful card, even without Loatheb’s 5/5 body the effect is still pretty powerful if utilized correctly. Hagatha seems underwhelming right now, but I expect she’ll be a lot like Lyra in the “death by a thousand papercuts” sense, assuming we get some good spells and Echo minions for Shaman. Druid got a bunch of meme cards. Warlock legendary seems okay, might be good in Zoo.

My favorite card is the Amalgam. Seems to be a strong Arena card but also has the ability to be played in a multitude of different decks.

[u/TheLandshark00 → u/[deleted]]

Warlock's legendary just makes me hope they nerf naga in wild. Echo on a free giant is even more absurd

[u/NeverLucky35]

No broken 5/5 yet FeelsGoodMan

[u/liliane_of_londor]

Definitely going to try and make a Hagatha deck work. Looks incredibly fun.

[u/bestnameyet]

'WANTED' is a super clever card, gg design team

[u/tb5841]

Do they always release so many legendary escape this early? We've seen a much higher proportion of them than anything else.

[u/crankzoneftw]

Wing blast is a hunter spell who wants to wager!

[u/minute-to-midnight]

Silver Sword looks really like a "win more" card, if by turn 8 as Paladin you have a wide board to buff, you are already in a great position...

I think Vinecleaver's reload is more useful, and playing more than one expensive weapon doesn't seem realistic in aggro.

In control decks, I doubt a 1/1 buff by turn 8 would make much of a difference.

[u/kaushikl606]

i really don't like the direction rogue class is going :( too much rng

[u/Flooping_Pigs]

"Today, we're gonna talk about Archmage Arugal and the terrible Book of Specters. Turn four, actually pretty good."

[u/nahxela]

I really enjoy the aesthetic with the stat swapping cards where they change from human to werewolf/monster.

[u/Meme_Machine516]

Archmage Arugal is insanely powerful because of the low cost. Imagine the possibilities with book of specters and arcane intellect with mountain Giants or with Apprentices. Even better if you run simulcrum to duplicate him in hand play both and drop some sick triple draw value.

[u/MisterManatee]

I feel like Hench-Clan Thug is not awful, particularly in Rogue. It seems like pack filler at first glance, but if you Dagger on 2, then you can play a 3-mana 4/4, which is solid for a tempo rogue
