For me the legendaries are the worst of this set of cards, Prince Valanar, 4/4 with no "incredible" effect, I mean, taunt minions are 4/5 for 4 mana most of the time, for this you need to not have 4 mana minions on your deck to get a very simple effect, even if it's not bad, for me, it's not worth for a legendary card. Also, I see no reason why Moorabi is just a 4/4, could easily be a 4/5 or a 5/5 and would still be balanced. About the other cards: Despite doomed apprentiace, they are pretty good and interesting.
I'm not talking specifically about 4 mana cards, but for example, fierce monkey, 3 mana 3/4 taunt, ok, you don't have the lifesteal but you also don't have to build in your deck in a specific way, I mean, you have a 3 mana 3/4 card with taunt and in the other hand you have a 4/4 card without even taunt, you can get the lifesteal but you have to deny 4 mana cards in your deck to get a simple effect, and that's not worth for a legendary.
penguin: like wisp, nothing special.
Shadowblade: amazing rogue card, will see in most decks I think.
Defile: incredible Warlock card, if aggro will be popular most likely on every deck, if not we wont see it often yet it still got great combo potential.
Cryostasis: I don't see Freeze Shaman to be playable at this point so unless we see way more strong freeze cards not useful.
Moorabi: ^
Eternal Servidude: we already got Onyx Bishop and I think it has similar power, although he is played sometimes so this one may also be.
Doomed Aprentice: cool effect but not worth 2 stat points.
Prince Valanar: may be playable in some classes but I don't think he is strong.
Dead man's Hand: Is gang up playable? same goes about this card.
Spreading Plague: depends how strong will aggro be, but I think this card won't be powerfull.
Frost Lich Jaina: If you are ahead grant you amazing control possibilities and allow you to stay alive no matter what... but if you are behind its 9 mana gain 5 armor.
Gang Up is playable, in Mill Rogue. Guess which deck is Dead Mans Hand is going to. Also Gang Up shuffles 3 cards, this card shuffles up to 9. You tech it against a Priest where you plan to go the distance and you play this before you throw your removals and suddenly you have a 4 execute 4 brawl 4 shield slam etc. deck.
Also Frost Lich Jaina summons a Water Elemental too, that will freeze the enemy minion that it will damage and heal you for 3 per hit. So its not as bad as you think when you are behind.
I agree with the rest.
Worst Jaina Art ever. I hoped it was fake. But good heropower. I consider new warrior epic for 2 mana (Dead men's hand) the best card so far. Suck it Jade Idol. Warrior got infinite cards like Grommash, Ragnaros, Elise, execute, brawl, Ysera (if you have the second copy of this epic)
She looked great in the cinematic
That's why it pays to actually read the news posts.
.
0 cards with the word "random", wow.
So... wild patronlock confirmed, guess nobody saw that coming
Frost Lich Jaina seems playable and strong on a slower meta, dreaming about it.
And can Dead Man's Hand make a solid fatigue warrior? I mean... it's potentially an infinite source of cards in your deck
patron lock?
dreadsteeds now dead, cuz they will resummon at the END of turn
Defile + patron can fill your board with patrons if there is a 1 health and 2 health minion on board.
3/1 3/2 3/3 all patron then defile (3/1 doesn't have to be and only a 1 health minion)
3/1 3/2 3/3 3/3
3/1 3/2 3/2 3/3 3/3 3/3
3/1 3/1 3/2 3/2 3/2 3/2 3/3
3/1 3/1 3/1 3/1 3/2
3/1 3/3
3/2 3/3
3/1 3/2 3/3
restart
Um if my calculation and rules of patron plus whirlwind effects is correct this is an infinite
Yes, seems like a board clear to your opponet and fill your board. Just the 1/1 deathrattle that summon a 1/1 already triggers this from an empty board. Total 8 mana. And you can thaurissan this on wild, making this 5 mana, curving on a coined thaurissan turn 4. I don't even know how to think about this.
B: 1 2 3 3
C: 1 2 2 3 3 3
D: 1 1 2 2 2 3
E: 1 1 1 2 3
F: 1 2 3 3 (same as B)
Repeat C-F forever
