Update: Illuminator Revealed
It looks like the Gnomes won the last vote since Illuminator has been revealed! New cards are to be revealed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this November.
New Vote: Gnome Warrior vs Goblin Pirate
Who are you voting for? The Gnome wearing Warrior Tier 6 (Warrior Card), or the Goblin Pirate (Rogue Card) missing an eye?
New Unreleased Card Art
Sorry! The unreleased card art has been removed. Blizzard asked us if we could remove it so they could show us the cards, as planned, in their true form, and we agreed.
We'll be covering every vote and card release, so stay tuned for more Goblins vs Gnomes!
More Goblins vs Gnomes Cards
We've got all the cards previewed at BlizzCon available in our card database.
Continued Actions Against Botting in Hearthstone
Blizzard wasn't kidding. Several thousands of accounts have been permanently banned for botting today.
Quote from BlizzardIn our continued efforts to promote a fair play environment within Hearthstone, we have permanently banned several thousand Hearthstone accounts found to be using third-party programs that automate gameplay, which is a violation of our Terms of Use.
We will continue to closely monitor Hearthstone and take action as needed to protect the game environment. Hearthstone accounts found to be cheating in any form will be permanently closed without warning.
If you believe that you’ve encountered a possible bot or other form of exploitation, please let us know by emailing our hacks team at hacks@blizzard.com.
They said they will show most of the cards just a day/few days before the expansion launches. More or less like Naxxramas.
One update will be up all cards most likely will be data mined
It's just a 2/4 so it won't stick that long around... Now on a Freeze Mage i don't know... It's pretty hard to find a slot in this deck to stick that guy in!
Good to see it Neutral though, i wouldn't like to see only one Class using it!
Well, here it is! The neutral secret hate we were all waiting for! *kappa*
illuminator obviously synergies with Secret classes like a Mad Scientist. Not a good idea to add a card just for 3 classes. We all know who will get stronger with this.
And it is easily countered by hunter's Flare.
It's a healing engine for all secret classes. Paladins didn't really need 1 more healing card though but I'm sure some will fit it in there. Hunters might not want to use it because they tend to favor a more direct damage approach, but 1 of the starts I like against hunters is to play passively, just to focus on my own survival without poping their secrets. This card would make me want to reconsider my strategy. Mages will probably make the best use of this minion though. They can keep their ice block up indefinitely and protect the illuminator with counterspell and spellbender. It would really shine in a freeze mage deck.
More pirates yes!! Hopefully a somewhat viable pirate deck can emerge, would love to add to the crew of Captain Greenskin!
Don't forget Bolvar Fordragon for paladin.
Bolvar Fordragon is a legendary as well. most likely warrior
edit: nvm apparently he's a paladin. lol
I know nothing about WoW lore either...but Gahzrilla? Seriously? The hell is that?
I'm pretty sure they said that they wouldn't release any Neutral Spell yet so i think Crush will be a Legendary Minion, neutral or maybe Warrior?
Gahzrilla is a hydra boss in Zul'Farak (level 45-50 5man dungeon). Now that hunters can tame hydras in WoD, this boss is a tameable beast in the game. Gahzrilla had several frost abilities so I wonder if that'll somehow translate over to Hearthstone or not.
Turalyon or Anduin Lothar would be much better imo.
Awesome! But where exactly did you guys found all this artwork? I looked trought the whole official website and can't find it. :P And how you know these are the ones that will be used for the voting contest?
I love them. So much better than mechs as a theme. I only dislike those "tech" weapons. The rest of the cards art is great.
So if those Iconic lore characters are class legendaries is Gahz'rilla for Hunters??
It could be a minion or spell that has to do with healing.
All other trees are minons with choose one
Don't you think Malorne (Druid), Mal'Ganis (Warlock) and Bolvar Fordragon (Paladin) are strong hints towards class legendaries?
