A solid card for any Aggro, Midrange and even Budget friendly deck. It will shine mostly versus opposing Control strategies from making weak AoE spells awkward and allowing you to better play around them. I am a hudge advocate for powerful cards that are also budget friendly and look forward to testing Grimestreet Outfitter come December 1st.

As a Hunter player, one of my favorite cards is Rat Pack! It comes in as a cheaper Infested Wolf and can benefit greatly from the Grimy Goons mechanic, buffing cards in hand. The card is already pretty good on its own so it doesn't rely on this to work properly. I will definitely use it in my Midrange Beast Hunter and give a chance to the mechanic. Here is the first thing i'll try with this archetype.

When playing Arena I love drafting common cards that have a big board impact, and this one definitely fits the bill! Any card that can potentially clear the board and kill your opponent all at once deserves your attention. With this expansion Warlock got several good pieces of removal and solid minions that will make it a class to be reckoned with.

Finally! An expansion on Stealth mechanics in Hearthstone. I'm a big fan of old mechanics being brought forward and improved with new cards, so seeing Stealth get its turn is great for me. It also helps that I used to go by ShadowSensei online.

Fight Promoter stood out as a fantastic card to me. It is not bad on it's own, but when you consider the fact it also triggers itself when buffed in-hand, well, that's pretty damn good! I anticipate seeing it frequently in Goon decks, but i love that it's neutral for use in any other deck as well. The first deck i play will be Jade Druid. Mostly because i will thoroughly enjoy Jade Idol, but also to employ Fight Promoter as an additional card draw engine to keep the idols pumping. There will be salt. There will be golems.....In the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan!

No dopplegangster? That card seems super OP with the grimy goons mechanics...
I would like to see your face when you receive this card from Firelands Portal or Bomb Squad
It seems that way, but it really is just a combo card. I do agree its strong though when used with said combos.
Don Han Cho overrated, nothing else to say
As someone who loves messing up with Photo Editing programs I just wanted to congratulate on whoever came up with this post cause I find it amazing.... It's informative,well formatted and also good looking....
I am excited to look back at this a few weeks from now and see how many of these polls were accurate! Anyway, this looks great. Excellent work putting this together jmxd!

That feeling when Shadow Rager doesn't have a Rager Award.
When priest has 6 in the top 10
Thank you, HearthPwn guys, for providing total statistics!
Priest is overestimated) New cards are so good only in comparable to average Priest card. In compare to others they are OK.
IMO Aya is better than Dr.Boom, I know, only in Jade Golem Deck but 6 5/3 summons a ~5/5 and a ~6/6 when dies is a lot of stupid, 79 is a low score for this card I think.
Dr. Boom also had not the highest score before GVG came out. I think once MSoG comes out Aya will see even more play than people anticipate.
my guess is that jade will be to slow against goons. just take a look at c'thun ;)
This looks awesome! Tomorrow couldn't come soon enough, getting tired of Shamanstone. Thanks again for the opportunity!
Very cool read! Can't wait to deck build...
Awesome styling job on the article jmxd!
Thanks everyone for voting in our polls for Mean Streets of Gadgetzan so that we were able to make this article! Already can't wait for the next set to go through another round of voting :D
