If they underperform, they will get buffed just like Warlock curses. Gone are the days when they push a package like this and let it fall by the wayside.
Yeah gone are the days they actually playtest and balance their cards before shoving them out the door so they don't need 4 balance patches between each expansion.
Those days never existed. They didn't patch as often, but it's not because the meta was actually balanced.
Yes it was. Game was entirely playable for most classes most of the time. Ever since they introduced Standard is when the quality of testing has evaporated, but more obviously over the last couple years when game breaking bugs have appeared basically every expansion indicating no testing is being done.
Your memory is wearing rose-colored glasses. We are not talking about each class having a playable deck. We are talking about "package" archetypes being released in an unplayable state. Freeze Shaman, Dude Paladin, the list goes on and on, and it all happened before the switch to standard rotation.
We don't know what's the part that improves, but my guess is that the number 1 is the thing that scales. So Relic of Dimensions will discount by 1 then by 2 then by 3, etc; Relic of Phantasms will summon 1/1s then 2/2s then 3/3, ets; Relic of Extinction will do 1 damage twice, then 2 damage twice, then 3 damage twice, etc.
I would also think that there will be ways to generate these cards so you're not limited to 2 of each.
These look like absolute trash. I'm guessing each "improves" will just tick up the next cast of one by 1, so increase the discount, the stats, and the damage. But even the second cast will be below curve power levels so you're in catch up mode the whole game. Just awful.
I agree, that demon hunter is usually tier 1-2 with aggresive deck, and these spells like you pointed out are way under power line... not to mention 3 mana and 5 mana is not cheap so you need to invest atleast an average of 6-7 mana cost to get to improve +2 where the cards start to actualy be good ,this can happen if the meta slows down but we need more synergy cards with relics.
I guess you've already forgotten about Relic Vault, which not only makes each individual Relic twice as good, but it also scales up all Relics twice as fast. With the location in play, there is nothing bad about these cards.
The middle relic is under curve compared to existing cards until level FOUR. The right one can't even hit face. These relics SUCK.
I think that those relice might be ok or good. In a quest line deck with all this draw and reduced cost sinergy they might see play. But well we will see.
Hopefully these aren't final because they're not posted on the Hearthstone website, but good lord are these shit. What archetype does this even fit into? Librams were a whole lot better and that was their first time doing that "special spell for a class" thing. This is beyond lazy design, it's some garbage you would see downvoted to death on r/Custom_Hearthstone.
That's it?
What the hell Relics am I gonna play after Turn 5?
I expected something less boring and the value of it seems kinda slow for Demonhunter.
It's like DH just became the test rat for new card "types" that won't get repeated enough to be anywhere near good.
2x 1/1 for 3 = terrible, 2/2 = Bad, 3/3 = good when played early (so still bad). From 5/5 it's great but....
I was expecting a new card type or something... kind of like artefacts in MTG or something... this is high-key disappointing. Or at least relics to use the weapon or minion card-type.
Hmmmm. I am currently not sold on these. But who knows how it will be.
We need to know how they improve. Does the phantasm create more 1/1s or do they get bigger for example.
Normally the value written in numbers increases.
So I would expect the two minions to grow into 2/2, 3/3, and so on.
But obv this is only speculation right now
This is horrible the only one that is good is the card draw if it increased the cards draw off the improve. Extinction might get played if the card draw keeps getting bumped making it 4 and 5 but phanta has no chance.
