Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
Yep, you too?
Look at all the babies downvoting my comment. Truth hurts huh?
Take a minute and calculate how much you idiots spend on this game a year. Even if you just buy the pre-release packs. Lunacy.
I learned my lesson after a decade of WoW, I am done with the cost of Blizzard and the now worse Activision.
Bye, Felicia!
I see all the HS fanboys have down voted you. Let them waste their money on recycled broken crap
Priest use 2 mana kill minions with 3 or less atk,
use 3 mana kill minions with 5 or more atk,
and 4 mana kill minions with 4 atk?
#hearthstoneLogic
well, jk :)
More like
one card with more range and flexibility than both Shadow Word: Pain and Shadow Word: Death put together.
We haven't see Priest's set yet, but this is a pretty good start. Hopefully, they'll make the class viable since exp 1, in order not to make it become too much oppressive at the end of the year like now.
lmao I always love people in these comments.... that card will never see ANY competitive play. it's awful
Hearthstone is dead.
So why are you here?
To reveal it to you
Nhaa. You're here just to whine because you have nothing better to do
Hearthstone is only dead cos pf the lazy card designs. Expansion after expansion nothing changes. Just rehashed cards with different images and maybe changing the class. I keep hoping this time round it'll get better & each time it's exactly the same
Thank you Tyranvz, really appreciate you're non-verbally-violent contribution. You really are an educated human being.
Rhonin as Hero Card for mage :) . Can't wait for it !!
And shadowstep Nomi
Any proofs on First Week Bundle? Could not find anything in the announcement
I know the cards are printed but i came up with this idea for a rafaam legendary card shortly before i recorgnized that blizzard released the new expansion. Don't missunderstand me, i like the new arch-villain rafaam card but i think blizzards card-design could be sometimes a bit more spicier.
your spicy card is confusing and its card text isnt effective
When creating a card, you need to remember that "Deceptively simple" is one of the major design philosophy in hearthstone. This one has too many information packed in a single card.
The cool thing is that the might start the reveal schedule as early as next Monday
