I don't understand Blizzard logic. They said they want more interactive game and now they bring all these "add +1/+1 to random card in your hand" effects. How it is interactive in any way ?! I always thought that interaction - is something happening between 2 players. Now we get Freeze Mage style effects where you mostly interact with your own hand. Is it really interaction that we want ?!!
Concerning Gorehowl isn't that 15 to the face if you want to hit them twice or am I wrong about the extra durability? If I'm right that seems pretty OP to me
It would be 16 face actually, but I just don't see a Control Warrior holding onto this. Maybe a face warrior would use the "reduce a weapon cost" pirate to get Gorehowl out earlier, but only time will tell. Just seems like better weapon buffs already exist.
Yes, I think this card is pretty much only useful with Arcanite Reaper, but it is just too situational IMO. If you don't have Reaper in hand and have already drawn into BOTH Fiery War Axes then this card is just a dud....
Pirate Warrior, turn 3 turn 4 buff weapon 3/3, turn 5 Arcanite Reaper 7/4.
Angry Chicken playable again Kappa
Both seem rather underwhelming to me honestly. The Grimestreet Pawnbroker looks OK initially, but since the weapon has to be "in hand"...... I mean are you going to hold onto a Fiery Win Axe until AFTER turn 3???? And how many Control Warriors are going to play 2 Gorehowls just to get +1 damage???? The answer to both IMO is not many.
Shaky Zipgunner seems a bit more interesting. It is kind of like a reverse Houndmaster, but doesn't have to be a beast. Could be interesting in Midrange and even aggro decks. You could buff cheap divine shield, taunt, and stealth minions for a powerful next turn. But this is just first impressions here.
For Gorehowl this is actually interresting. Simply because it's then not only an 8/2, you can actually deal 8 damage to face without that the weapon broke.
Still: I'm not sure that this is enough.
Yeah, but that would be in a control deck and do you really want to play a 3/3 that ISN'T Ravaging Ghoul in a control warrior? Probably not...
Its probably more intended for face warrior with Arcanite Reaper
Yup, but there are already better options out for that. The fact that this is "in hand" really hurts it IMO. Just makes it a more situational Pirate Face deck that isn't even a pirate?!?!
Shaky Zipgunner is bad just because it's a hunter's 3-drop. It must be "Cloaked Huntress's level" broken to see play.
Yeah, I kind of agree. But I'm not ruling it out entirely as we haven't seen the rest of the expansion. If Hunter gets some better card draw mechanics, then I think this card could be an interesting addition to an agro deck. But agree, probably not because Cloaked Huntress exists. LOL
More non-interactive cards :( How about some new ways to provide a chance to catch up for players behind on the board/tempo?
A whole patch of +1/+1 to minions buffs on the back of nerfing silences, sneaky blizz. Anyone not playing warrior is teching 2x slime, harrison and any silnce left available.
Hmmmm, now which class has a lot of silences (still), heals and strong mid-late game minions and a shitload of removal?
Anyone?
Seriously I am drawing a blank here.
We don't use Silence on cards like Sylvanas Windrunner, because it's too slow and ineffective. Do you really think that minions with +1\+1 buffs are scary enough to put tech-cards against them?
Lol, no wonder 99% of the time I put down Sylvanas I win. XD
Last time I checked disabling Sylvanas ='s win against most control decks. Also, its not just +1/+1, this deck type has the potential to grow minions way more than that and in tempo giant minions mid game can be auto win - don't forget your 10/10 sylvanas T6, cause you know it'll happen.
That and the post was sarcasm...
So now we need only "Silence all minions in enemy hand" effect (or at least "Silence buffed minion in enemy hand").
