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.

I expect nothing and I've got nothing.
Let's try something new with Paladin, what about SH Recruits!
Hey and maybe we can expand Secrets for more classes. Give them Rogue's secrets now and Warlock's in the next expansion as something NEW.
We have to add something funny for stream like Gibberer (No one cares that only ones who are laughing are the hosts of the show).
After all I know that only few cards were revealed but... This stream should hype players for the new expansion and I don't know if it was successful. Cmon guys, there are sooo cool ideas in Fan card competition, look there for inspirations.
I dont want you to be right, but you are right.
The first stream is always a let down, its that last one where everything comes together
first try to maybe make the new card work
MANY experimental cards put into a questionable core this deck is surely NOT refined, but seems to be fun at least..maybe needs less bad barnes targets and some fire flies (yeah I know I just contradicted myself).
egg hunter is quite a tier 4 ish deck atm but so was raza priest before so don't count it off if hunter gets something to replace this "wanna be tempo rogue" early game.
What happened to the Dungeon Run that was suposed to be streamed after the card reveal ? It was stated on this page earlier.
I want my big boi hunter cards
With so many weapon removals out there you wont be able to use your legendary weapons more than the turn you play them. This and having legendary weapons that cost 8-10 mana with unpredictable results will discourage autoincludes. How sad is that?
Legendary weapons suck, so no-one will run them, so weapon removal cards will disappear in favor of other new expansion synergies, so people will discover that legendary weapons are worthwhile.
aluneth is actually insane. this thing alone can revive freeze mage, and i don't even wanne think on quest mage with this card. even if it draws 3 cards only it's basicly 1 mana to much for the effect, and it's better then the classic mage turn 6 of frostbolt/secret+ping and emote.
There are two possibilities for shaman weapon:
1. Getting for example a Volcano and 3/3 weapon isn't so bad for 8 mana BUT
2. Shaman has very very big amount of useless cheap spells
Overall I think this weapon will be too slow and too random to see play.
Level Up! is not garbage. You're just saying that because it's a familiar card. Level up! for the most part allows you to ignore your opponent's board and go directly to the face without worrying too much about scraping your own death. It's almost at the same power-level of Quartermaster, and I'd argue that it's slightly better.
they don't need to. i have an idea of running some early beasts(2 mana stuff like golakka, kindly, and razor maw) but not 1 drop beasts cause u can use other 1 drops such as fire fly, patches the pirate packege, argent squire, and even the good old worgen infiltrator. add in a savanah highmane or two and Kathrena and u have a nice little n'zoth deck that can play in both the early and late game stages of the game. also we need to take a look at the rest of the set. myb there are good beasts to be seen.
Hate to say it but the cards revealed were a little underwhelming. Let's see tommorow then and hope we get surprised =)
cruious about how Fandral + Branching Paths works.
yea, for sure
Rogue's secrets for 2 mana is illogical cost - the same as hunter. Previously secret manacost was pretty generic: 1 for pallys, 2 for hunters and 3 for mages. Rogue secrets just breaks the numerical balance, why not to make it for 0 or 4 mana but less or more powerful?
Or maybe 2 mana is the optimal cost for secrets. 0-mana secrets in a class with Combo would be a really bad idea, while 4 mana secrets would be all but unplayable. We're not looking for aesthetics here, we're looking for playability and game balance.
