Who’s ready to visit Whizbang’s Workshop? We get plenty of call backs to iconic characters from Hearthstone’s past, and therfore synergy with past cards. Many are more obvious than others. Here, we'll focus on the potential combos you can pull off in Wild mode once these new cards become available.
Proving Grounds cheats out 2 big threats at once if you create your deck right. It’s a very tricky card to build around because you don’t want your big guys killing each other unless that would benefit you in some way. Imprisoned Antaen was a choice some opted for because of how entering the battlefield dormant prevents the fight from happening. Now we’ll have Magtheridon, Unreleased to pull, making Proving Grounds a board clear as well!
The chaos created by casting spells that cast spells can be tons of fun for you spell casting spell casters out there. After you cast your spell casting spells, how about you try casting a spell that recasts the spells you cast that cast those random spells?
If you were the kind of person that used to run Uther of the Ebon Blade alongside Auctionmaster Beardo and a bunch of cards that gave you coins to instantly win, then you’ll be happy to hear there’s an easier way to accomplish the same win condition. Sing-Along Buddy, Blackwald Pixie, and using The Four Horsemen twice can all be done without the need to jump through any hoops.
These cards are intended to synergize with the 1/1s you get from Miniaturize minions or things you cheat the cost for. But there’s clearly some Pogo-Hopper potential there. The one thing Pogo Rogues want to do is play as many of these mecha rabbits as possible, and these two legendary minions fascilitate exactly that.
It may not be the intended use of Chemical Spill, an Ozumat that instantly dies and kills most if not all enemy minions is a unique possibility. Is it the best use of a spell that can cheat out big minions? Is it Warrior’s best board clear? Well that’s not the point. Catching the opponent off guard with a surprise squid that slaps their board to death will definitely send a message.
It’s common knowledge that Reno Jackson has the manliest mustache out of anyone in Hearthstone. With such godlike facial hair, the only thing that can make him more powerful is a second mustache!
We hope you give some of these combos a shot. Maybe you'll even discover your own! There are always new ways to use your cards, so experiment away!
I mean, i havent been interested new addon until i saw this article. Now i looking forward to it
Uther combo looks absolutely legit. Hope this seems some (not too much) play
With Sonya, would you not be able to add a Mana Wraith and bring up the cost to 1?
In theory you could, but you’d need 2 extra mana for the turn and even more to make the most of it. Whatever you do with Sonya, you gotta do in one turn cause she’s definitely dying right away. Getting extra pogos earlier is better than getting even more later cause of how less threatening beatsticks with no extra effects are as the game goes on
With the new Raza not having duplicate restrictions you could also play a non-Reno, non-Shadow deck, and use something like Embrace the Shadow and cheap healing spells to do face damage. Not to mention the new minion that makes your hero power cost 0 when in play.
Something like the Thief Priest that Dane was playing recently but with thief cards swapped for the damage and cheap healing spells, plus at least one Embrace. That way you can draw like crazy, discount like crazy, and then blast the opponent.
Sure, in general it's good for Control, Singleton & Thief Priest. Only one I don't see finding much use for Extra Crispy Raza is Aggro Shadow Priest. You want the game to be over long before a 5 drop is relevant with Aggro.
Singleton is just where my mind went first but I am odd, admittedly.
Best article ever.
I need to get my rogue to 1,000 wins. Sonya Hopper is going to be The Way.
Garrison Commander might be better for the Uther one! ;)
Pogo's one looks fun I forgot about that card, If I get Sonya in packs i'm gonna try it out :)
I think I subconsciously repressed all Hero Power related cards from The Grand Tournament.
Understandable
Would like to see a viable Poco-Hopper deck after all these years.
And I‘m looking forward to some dane shenanigans with sonja.
The new Raza card also opens up some doors for Singleton
Aggroe: Shadow, derp Priest in Wild. It allows you to not solely rely on Shadowreaper Anduin, it means you can start putting in Reno, Lone Ranger and have the same 2 damage per card played with another board clear and more functionality.I created an account just to say this is a great article! Funny and Useful! :)
