Hearthpwn

I'm curious, what are people's concerns about Archivist Elysiana? That's the only one that stands out as eyebrow raising for me.

Welcome. You must be new to Hearthstone. May I introduce you to the fact that The Grand Tournament happened and by god it was awful, to even compare Rastakan's Rumble to that expansion is in of itself a joke. It's also nowhere near as bad as Mean Streets which has almost all of the most hated cards in Hearthstone History and the most infamously hated decks like Jade Druid and Pirate Warrior.

As people have said already 2018's Hearthstone expansions haven't been bad, moreso their power level has been significantly lower compared to Kobolds and Catacombs and Knights of the Frozen Throne, which is a strategic move on Blizzard's part. The moment those two expansions rotate out next year, these cards will become a lot more significant.

None of the significant cards this expansion are bad. They're just bad when put in comparison to cards from Kobolds and Catacombs and Knights of the Frozen Throne.

Welp. This card clearly shows how good Geosculptor Yip is. For 2 Mana more you get a 4/8 body on top of it, as well as the effect being at the end of every turn, meaning if your opponent has no way to deal with it, you get the effect multiple times.

I don't see this card being played at all while Yip is in rotation, though Yip does rotate out next expansion so once it rotates out, it could be played. But right now? Yeah no.

Do I have to remind everyone about what happened at the reveal?

Saying Artifact will affect Hearthstone in any way shape or form is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Especially with the new information that's been released, a paid card game, who wants that? Card trading, could very well land them in hot water again with countries such as Belgium due to that being how Loot Boxes/Card Packs were defined as gambling, with the contents being tradable in a marketplace. And also knowing Valve's past I don't trust them saying they're going make an affordable market, just look at games like CSGO and tell me they're not gonna try and monetise the shit out of this game. Hell I don't even think the playbase of Hearthstone will drop even a 1% when Artifact releases.

Hey thanks guys for the kind advice, I think I've come to the conclusion I think I'm gonna disenchant it because not only is Warrior one of my least favourite classes and I'd rather play any other class but as a lot of people have pointed out to me, most Warrior decks run other cards for finishers, in terms of what I'm going to craft, I think I've widdled it down to either Baku the Mooneater Leeroy Jeenkins and The Lich King but I'm not sure which I should craft though, Leeroy isnt always included in Heal Zoo and Lich King could really help in Even Shaman as well as other decks, however Baku would open a lot more potential for me, so I'm at a crossroads.

Also P.S can a lot of people read the whole original post... or read it more carefully because I've gotten several replies saying craft Genn or craft the Soularium even though I explicitly stated that those legendaries are what I own and others claiming I should make like a Tempo Warrior deck even though I also stated Warrior is my least favourite class....

 Do you have grumble and shudderwock? Grumble works well in even shammie, elemental shaman and is vital for shudderwock (more so than Zola). But it is a class legendary, so very specific. Leeroy is useful if you want to play odd rogue and paladin (and will always be useful in aggro and tempo decks of all descriptions, plus classic set).

 

 The Legendaries I mentioned in my first post are the only ones I own other than the ones you get given such as Marin and C'Thun. And if I want to play Odd Rouge/Paladin wouldn't it be more useful to craft Baku then?

If you're f2p (I started as one but bought a bundle latest patch), I'd dust any golden copies of any cards. Construct a deck, see if you lack any legendaries, and craft that, or just craft a staple legendary like baku, Leeroy or any other classic ones.

 That's what I was wondering though, which staple legendary should I craft or should I craft the remnants I need for Even Shaman?

Quote from Fog_za >>

Lol, sounds like the beginnings of even shaman, heal zoo or shudderwock. From playing even shammie for the whole of last season, it can work very well for periods, then seem totally outclassed, then some techs or shifts and it works well again, but ultimately I would be careful crafting it, it is so frustrating when the mini meta shifts. Grommash is pretty cool though. 

 I have a Heal Zoo deck, I could craft Leeroy Jenkins for it but I've noticed he's not always there, I have a very basic even Shaman too but it's nothing too amazing as I lack cards like Lich King and Kalimos.

EDIT: Dr_Horus, you misread me, I already have all those cards in my collection, I don't need any of them.

Well from the title you can probably guess what my advice is about. I'm a mostly Free to Play player in Hearthstone, only ever shelling out money for the adventures of old and very occasionally buying a handful of packs for an expansion when I need more cards. The other day I wound up opening a Golden Grommash Hellscream from the pack I got from completing the Dungeon Run daily, and I need advice on what to do with it, I know it's a staple of a lot of Warrior decks but Warrior is my least favourite class in the game so I was considering disenchanting it, I want to know should I disenchant and what should I spend my dust on should I do.

In terms of Legendary cards I already have other than the newly opened legend, they are Hagatha the Witch Prince Keleseth The Soularium and Genn Greymane

Thanks for your help guys. Wherever you are I hope you have a good morning, good evening or good afternoon.

This card exists basically as a strict reload for Zoolocks considering they're the only type of Warlock decks that would theisably get value out of this card and play at least 2 of the drawn cards (which I think would be the base sort of value of this card and what you should expect in a way), other than that, I really like the flavour of it, I think it's just a great card, not super overpowered like other legendary cards we've seen Warlocks get like Lord Godfrey and Bloodreaver Gul'dan. It's just a good card for a specific kinda deck that really hasn't seen any direct love from Blizzard for a while. I really like this card.

...Also for those suggesting its good in Discolock...

No. Just No.

Even if you know exactly what you're discarding, it won't make the deck playable. Unless Blizzard drops a card that allows you to choose which card from your hand to discard whenever you discard a card, I don't think Discolock will ever be playable.

It's the cost of 5 Play Dead for only 2 copies of the effect. I know its like your drawing another Play Dead from your deck and then casting it on the minion but 5 mana is way too much for this card, hell I'd even bargain 4 mana is too much too. One of the worst cards this set, dust it, just dust it. 

Do you know what's the worst thing about this card? I can see it being run in a type of combo deck...

I can see a warrior deck that has a lot of super control cards, maybe small minions like Armoursmith and Drywhisker Armourer, and then you either Explore Ungoro and Skulking Giest or you play Hemet, Jungle Hunter to reduce your deck to just this card.

Maybe if you feel ballsy, and don't think your opponent can remove this card, you wait a turn and play Whirlwind andExecute in order to instantly trigger the effect.

You may think this is a meme card, but there are ways to make this work and they scare me, a lot.

Here's the thing I'm curious about, will your opponent be able to see the deathrattle the card gained by hovering over it, or will it stay hidden unless the discovered minion is played?

A Paladin legendary that isn't in the 4 or 5 spot. Finally. I feel like Paladin legendaries aren't run as much due to the over saturation in good paladin 4 and 5 cost cards (such as why The Glass Knight isn't run). I feel like this could be good enough to be run due to the double healing and cheap cost. But maybe not. I think this is one of those things where we'll have to see how the meta shapes up before we can ultimately decide.

I mean.. it's 1 mana less than Infest which is good...

But seriously have these give your minions Deathrattle add [X] to your hand or Spirit Echo types of cards ever been good? You need a pretty big board to get some good benefit from it and that can be hard at times unless you're playing some sort of weird aggro deck.

And while yes the 2 mana could help with that, knowing the history of these type of cards I'm still on the ropes with it if history has said anything. However in the golden situation this could be how Mech Hunter gets stamina back after a huge burst and more notably, the Mech tag has a lot less stinkers compared to the Beast tag, and even some stinkers like Unpowered Steambot can be improved with some of the coming Magnetic effects.

All in all, I think this card is playable, but ultimately I think I need to wait for the other mech cards and the other hunter cards to see if this card is worth running in a type of Mech hunter.
