Regarding the topic of weird races in this expansion:
What is this rabbit thief we see in the trailer? I've never seen anything like that in WoW before.
Trying to figure out fun ways to make this op with Poisoned Blade. Only to give up when i realized its in the TGT set.
R.I.P Poisoned Blade
TGT does not rotate out yet, you will have a nice four months or so tinkering with that combo if you want to.
Didn't they say that a new year in Hearthstone starts with the new year in the real world (not with the new year's first expansion)? The year of the Kraken was just an exception, because it was the first year...
"When we release the first new Expansion each year, every set that wasn’t released in the same year or the year prior will cycle out and no longer be part of the Standard format. That’s also when the new Standard year begins." That's from the Standard introduction blog: http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/19995505/a-new-way-to-play-2-2-2016. Can't remember that they would have said anything to negate that.
Okay, thank you. ;)
Will this make inspire and Grand Tourney hero power cards more relevant?
I could see him as being decent in late game for a control hunter or shadow priest.
The auctioneer isn't that good: play it and use your hero power, that's 5 mana, if you plan to use it again it's 2 mana so you have 3 left to play a spell. I suppose it cna get used by a hunter aggro deck in topdeck mode but this is pretty much it. Possibility of a wacky deck using hero power cost reduction but if coldarra drake didn't work, this won't either.
Rogue card is not too bad due to an almost guarantee of being able to use it at least once.
The Windfury minion is garbage.
At this point, minions that get played have one of the following:
-X/X+1 stats for X mana *and* text
-A battlecry or deathrattle powerful enough to offset the lack of stats
-Charge/divine shield
Even if some cards rotate out, the old cards closest to this template will get played. I'd play the 5/2 charge any day over that 3/5 windfury minion. Windfury is overall a wasted stat, the only ever successful windfury minion was a 2 drop that could get one swing if coined and that was it. (Al'akir has charge so doesn't count)
It's important to note that Coldarra Drake was in Mage - a class whose hero power is strong when repeated.
The Auctioneer is a Drake for all classes. Sure, this card is worse than Drake, and Drake wasn't too much of a good card, but still.
This is also a 3/4 for 3 mana. Who doesn't like a Spider Tank with an ability?
Any of the current Justicar Truehart upgrades can be abused with this. Warrior can use this to Armor, Slam, Armor, Execute, Armor versus an Agressive / Midrange deck. Even Armor Bash Armor is fine.
Priests can take down a minion, Heal Him, Power Word: Shield, and Heal themselves, or another minion. They can also run with Auchenai Soulpriest for some additional board control. Hit for 2, [1 mana Shadow Madness], Hit for 2, [PW:S], Hit for 2....
I don't see him being terribly strong, but he's much more playable than Coldarra Drake was, simply because he hits the board on turn 3, with the stats of a good 3 drop, and he is available in all classes. People will use him to figure out how good he actually is.
You also seem like someone who doesn't play Arena. I'd pick up a 5 mana 6/5 (Grook Fu Master) for Arena. Abusive Sargent now gives him +4/+0. Stormwind Champion? +2/+1. Last but not least, he's still board control. Boulderfist Ogre can't kill two minions in one turn. If you're trying to reestablish a board, and you play this guy on turn 5, you are able to cut off two of the opponent's resources. This guy is a 5 mana 2 for 1 in almost every Arena situation.
Justicar will rotate out soon, unfortunately
Justicar doesn't rotate out until the set after this one.
The card text from these cards will probably change upon further confirmation.. They're both very boring and weak.
??
No, they seem pretty clear to understand. A card which is boring and weak is not made better. Some cards are good, some are bad. It's a fair balance.
That the rogue legendary might just be played is more a testament to how much that class needs new stuff than to how good it is.
