Kobolds Reveal Season Kicks Off! Newly Revealed Cards Within
Woohoo! The next two weeks are being kicked off today with a card reveal stream featuring Brian Kibler and Peter Whalen. We saw nine new cards get revealed and you can check them all out below. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to get notified when new cards get revealed.
Let's do this!
Live Updates
Important notes from the stream will go here!
- Stream is live! Peter Whalen and Kibler are on our view.
- Peter was the lead on the Kobold's set. One game designer is the lead for each set which means they are a part of both design periods - initial design and final design.
- They always want to try and do something different with each set. "Let's do the treasure set".
- Today we'll see a cute card and a dragon.
- WHAT?! Rogues got a SECRET!
- Earlier in the Hearthstone days, Rogues used to be a secret class. They were shifted into Paladin instead though since Rogue had a lot already going on.
- There will be more Rogue secrets in this set - a total of 3.
- The next set will not have Rogue secrets. Maybe other ones.
- We are going to see more Dragon stuff in the set.
- Kathrena is the only Hunter card with Recruit.
- Not all classes have the Recruit mechanic.
- Branching Paths doesn't work with Fandral. It's not a Choose One card.

It's funny how they reveal Duskbreaker which destroys Level Up.
I bet anything that one secret for rogues is something like disarm. It just steals your opponent's weapon if they hit your face
That'd be a really cool mechanic despite being too specific, and would be the first one of its kind.
I think they are starting to meddle with the core mechanics too much. With rouges getting secrets and all classes getting weapons, I can't help but get worried about classes losing their identity in the future. Evergreen nerfs and hall of fame were another similar cases. Of course those will probably be good changes but you know... We will wait and see.
They're Legendary weapons, and to be fair a decent number of people were hoping for this. When ONiK's reveal season was going on, people were speculating the possibility of Mages and Priests getting weapons, even Rogues getting secrets. This is because it really doesn't affect the class identity really, but that it's improving and correcting them, and putting them more in line with what they really are: classes from WoW.
It made sense for Rogues to have secrets. With Pally, it made no sense at all (a lot of things in Pally made no sense, like Murlocs). Rogues now have the burgle mechanic, and now secrets. Mage and Priests get the staffs they deserve, and true to the nature of the classes they can't attack with them, unlike Shaman, Druids, and Warriors.
Think of these less like weapons as we have been using them, and more like artifacts in mtg.
The weapon slot provides an already existing area where you can place a non-minion buff without taking up a spot on the board.
as some personal opinions, maybe quest rogue can become a thing with he one drop and the secret, the other secret is just very niche. dragon priest will probably become a thing with the new card. shaman weapon is meh but might make a tier 3 dec druid card is just not good enough. paladin card will not work I geuss, not too sure. Warrior card is not good enough for control warrior and too slow for the other warrior. hunter card can be nsane but also really bad, but probably really bad coz control hunter lul.
I hate how blizzard force priest to play dragons.
Hearthstone is supposed to be a creative game.It's almost like you can only play dragon priest if you want to play priest
Hope you're just trolling.
??
There are currently several Priest archetypes that are far more successful than Dragon Priest. The two that immediately come to mind are Big Priest and Highlander Priest.
Besides, giving you one Dragon doesn't force you to use it. You could just as well say "man I hate it how they force Warrior to play Spellstones" or "I hate it how they force Druids to use Weapons". It's a single card. Choose not to play it. There, not so hard was it?
Looking at Whalen's face when Kibler says not to tell him if Thunderfury is in the set, when Whalen laughs and says "Well..." his face is suggesting his answer is "Regrettably, no, Thunderfury is not _________". The curious part of this is his face isn't telling us that Thunderfury isn't in the game, but that Thunderfury might be the Leg Weapon for a different class, possibly Paladin.
Whalen's facial expressions tell us that, at best, there's a 50% chance Thunderfury is in the new set. My guess? The weapon is not with this set. They're likely saving it for another expansion.
You guys said other classes couldn't have Secrets, that it doesn't work. "Keep mechanics in classes that are assigned those mechanics."
Fuck every one of you losers who told me I couldn't make secrets for non-secret classes. I knew better all along. It was always you who had no clue what you could actually make for this game. Don't fucking bother me next time when I do something like this, you simpletons.
Right? Like we can't experiment with ideas. People love to shit on innovation for some reason. The funniest thing is I had thought we'd be getting Legendary Weapons for each class with Frozen Throne, and look where we are now.
You were so close PogChamp
I'm liking what I see. Great cards! I'm hoping for some more great hunter reveals. That legendary is so cool!
Last Rogue secret should be: Whenever opponent plays a minion return all minions to their owners' hands.
To people not looking forward to this expansion, fuck off. Let alone all of us to enjoy the rest of it. So Fuck Off.
So, theoretically, when rogues will play hydrologist, they will discover their own secrets?
