maybe because hunter spellstone is not for control but for tempo? Even not upgraded it's better then silver hand knight since both wolves are beast, and 4 3/3 for 5 mana is an amazing tempo. Don't know why some people whine about it.
I've read some other comments that thinks it's great too. I'd rather they summoned something with Taunt (not necessarily 3/3s). I suppose I just want Hunter DK, which is the coolest one, to have a chance in whatever meta is coming :)
i really love these cards
the hunter spell is really good with Tundra Rhino can be used for a 14 dmg combo
the rogue spell is also pretty good in a N'Zoth, the Corruptor + Valeera the Hollow deck, also you can get almost a full board clear using the second copy from the hero power
the priest spell ..... yeah pure cancer pretty good for big priest feelsbadman
God, why does Blizzard want Priest to be good. Priest is the single least fun deck to play against.
" Good news everyone! " <- for hunter we have
Big Priest just became Huge Priest
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Players: Hey Blizzard … we hate Big Priest!
Blizzard: Let's give priest more resurrects and make an expansion around summoning random BS.
Lesser Emerald Spellstone seems like it will be good if Big Hunter works. A lot of the prevailing ideas on Big Hunter have a secret package and a Play Dead package so that your early game features no beast minions and your mid to late game deathrattles only pull huge chargers. This spellstone fits very well into that strategy as long as your secrets can let you control the early game. Historically, no control hunter has been able to do that, so this is card is a big if, but could be awesome if it works.
It's very hard to judge Lesser Onyx Spellstone. On the one hand, control rogue suffers from a lack of AOE, and it only takes one upgrade to outvalue Deadly Shot. It's also the case that cards like Sonya Shadowdancer, Shadowcaster, and even Valeera the Hollow can make these upgrades possible without needing bad deathrattles for consistency. On the other hand, a three card upgrade is expensive, and without seeing the rest of the cards in the set it's hard to know if the historically weak deathrattle themed decks (thinking Quest Priest and Jade Rogue here) will be viable.
Lesser Diamond Spellstone could probably see play as a one-of in Big Priest as a tool to get around potential late game AOE. I can't help but wonder, though, what the impact of Psychic Scream will be on Big Priest. A large portion of the strength of Big Priest is its ability to beat up on other priest decks, but that could change if they get all their big stuff put back in their deck instead of killed.
Fun fact, if the legendary weapon has deathrattle and is low cost, then this is pretty good with doomerang! also journey below will be able to look for it.
Priest's spellstone is not that good, you need to have this card in hand and wait for several turns to play it. If you draw this spellstone in your last 10 cards, it will be very hard to upgrade, 7mana rez 2 random minions in late game is not that amazing.
Rogue's spellstone's upgrade condition should be play combo card. Deathrattle theme limit its usage.
The [card]Lesser Onyx Spellstone[/card] is a nice way to give Rogue some powerful pseudo AOE I guess. But summoning 9 Deathrattles? That would be pretty tough given the current roster of Deathrattle minions. But there might be some powerful new ones we haven't seen yet. As it stands, a Jade N-Zoth deck would probably be the best bet.
CORRECTION: 6 Deathrattles! Silly me. Makes it more doable, but still difficult.
And while you have this card in hand (this is the sketchy part)
I really don't get why priest one got epic spellstone? Priest shines better than others? BEN BRODE explain it !
Epic means they're less likely to get it in arena than the other classes ones which are rare
but you also have less chance to get it from packs and it cost 300 more dust :D which can be nothing for some people but kinda lot for other people.. it is kinda wierd :D
