Evil classes get plagues - Good classes get nothing?

I was wondering what the good classes get to compensate for the plagues cards...is there still a reason to be a good class when only the evil classes get all the good stuff?

Uh, the good classes get Reno, Finley, Elise and Brann don't they?

In RoS the villains got lackey synergies and throwback cards, eg forbidden words, while other characters got twinspells. HS seems to be distinguishing the two groups of characters while still retaining a balance

Pretty sure there's some sweet stuff ahead for the SoA

I'm not a big fan of this type of asymmetrical design but I assume they're going to try to counterbalance plagues with some cycle that's exclusive to the good guys, same as with lackeys & twinspell.

I mean, if you think about it, the good guys don't exactly get less. Every class still gets the same amount of cards as any other, it's just that the bad guys get a set of cards that is thematically connected. Yes, they made a big deal out of the plagues as "Cards that affect both sides of the board" but that's not THAT special if you consider druid once got Poison Seeds printed. Or Mage got Dragon's Fury.

And that's the cool thing about the themed cards. They can be asymmetrically disributed without it being a big issue for the game.

At the end of the day, it's just a matter of theme, and these cross-class themes are not necessarily good cards, ie schemes.

So non-evil classes are not really left behind, just given different theme.

I want Dragon's Fury back! Now mage gets pummeled by aggro. Or I must use a 2-card combo to clear. That card was a guaranteed bord clear at turn 5 most of the time.
