Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
Umm, Hagatha's Scheme is siiiiiick
yeah it is! finally a shaman board clear that is not RNG.
its pretty RNG considering that its power level varies of the turn you draw it....
but it is not RNG because you know exactly how much damage it will do to the entire board.
i just wanna comment how its funny that they decide to invade and take on Dalaran when not even the Legion was that bold in truth
because the legion didn't have RAFAAAAAAAM, THE SUPREME ARCHAEOLOGIST
Don't want to sound like a nerd but Legion did invade Dalaran when it was above Kharazan. And also Archimnde destroyed most of the city while playing in the sand. Soooo?
i mean it in the sense they are just LEEERRROOOYYY JENKINS straight ahead without a care and would get swatted like flies, Legion mounted a slow and steady offensive instead of just para dropping like these bad boys lol.
Worth noting that Arch-Villain Rafaam says "with Legendaries" not "with random Legendaries". Probably reading too much into it, though
I think they cut the word "random" from the card text because it would make his text too long. I'm almost positive official Hearthstone cards have a maximum of 4 text lines to work with, and that would put it over thanks to how keywords are formatted on a card.
Malygos+Inkmaster Solia+Primordial Glyph+Duskfallen Aviana=Kalecgos

you know what. . .
that is insane
I'm super hyped for the new cards, mechanics and theme. I decided to make a video with card review and small recap of new features that we will get from Rise of Shadows. I hope that you will enjoy it. Cheers, may the shadows be with you!
Why does Jeleniowatty got so many downvotes? Did I miss something?
We will see some old mechanics return!
Does that mean that we will see Charge again
Inspire pls.
Inb4 the secret mastermind behind all of it is Patches, the Pirate and he will be the WArrior Hero card with Battlecry: Summon all minions from your deck and give them Charge.
They won't even need to record a new line. Just give him the classic "I'm in charge now!" then ta-da, the hero is pretty much done.
Looks like devs and hs is lacking of new themes, new "monters" and characters blabla. For me this game only exist as game to do quests every 3 days only..
why tho?
