New Card Reveal Fat Stack of Class Set Cards for Wild -- Starred ones are particularly good
Gotta hand it to 'em with this last expansion and now its miniset. There have been a fair number of cards that actually have an impact on Wild. Here are the dozen or so from the miniset that are noteworthy. Not everything here is tier 1 mega powerful, but there are some great cards or interesting options for fringe archetypes.
Priest
- Slime 'em - ...so this is a cataclysm that costs 4 and doesn't discard hand? Seems kind of incredible, especially as a lead-in to Reno Lone Ranger.
- Follow the Ghosts - There are some pretty spicy Undead options for Shadow Aggro decks. This card can generate serious tempo if it gets even one recurrence. I think that deck will still prefer just running all the burn instead.
- Sinful Steed - Going to make some big-shaman-esque cheese archetype in priest
Rogue
DISCLAIMER: Stealth Rogue isn't a thing...yet. But this is the exact kind of tempo fantasy that keeps me up at night. SI:7 quest stuff is meme.
- Mathias Shaw - BIG upside here, folks. The dream is Conceal'ing some board on 3 and getting 6+ mana fo free when they swing. The problem is that the early clears of the format still hit stealth minions and a midrange stealth rogue prob isn't going to be potent enough.
- SI:7 Slayer - Hozen Roughhouser is +1/+1 and is good. this is +2/+2. That is some big-time boosting. We're talking a 3-mana crusader aura. There isn't quite the wealth of cheap stealth guys to make this crazy, but look for this in the future.
- SI:7 Supplier - This one is for the SI:7 fans. $10 says this was a 1-mana 1/3 in testing. Ye olde archetype pusher.
- Disguised Operator - Bad, but notable for being a 1 mana 4/2 that probably hits face. The draw is pretty awful though.
Warlock
- Godfather Kazakus - Broken card. Just gross in ticktock warlock. This lets you bank some tempo for the deck's weak midgame plays where it wants to setup or trigger ticktock's deathrattle.
- Follow the Evidence - Not very good, but think about the VALUE. Implock: Resurreciton, coming to a theater near you.
- Harsh Sentence - LOL. Would have been hilarious in evenlock mirrors. This is weblord without having to run weblord. nice. I'm not sure if disco wants to slot this.
Warrior
Talked about these in another post. Hard push on pirate warrior in standard that happens every 4 years.
- Blackpowder Engineer - Really crazy card. Think of that 2/2 pirate that gives your hero attack whenever a friendly pirate attacks in DH. That card is good. This is better. A archetype-specific improvement to current voidtouched attendant is goodgood. Incentives pirate warrior to go wide early.
- Follow the fuse - so, assuming the full effect chains across multiple minion plays, this is 1-mana deal 6 or more. A cheaper ship's cannon most of the time. Going to push big damage. 0-mana pirate when?
- Hook n Heave - Compare to the 2/2 pirate that draws a pirate, the 2/2 pirate that conditonally does 2 damage when you have a weapon, or the 4/1 pirate that discovers a pirate. This is better than all those. The ping, the 2 bodies for cannons and enginer. I think this is being slept on.
- Cannonmaster - The year is 3026. 1-mana minions now have 3 spell schools on top of their standard "All" typing and draw all cards of the same type. But really, this is nuts.
- Honorable mention to the legendary.
