More skins are always nice though i can't help but feel disappointed with them. Maybe it's just me but the classic heroes in a new costume most of the time look so similar it's hard to tell the skins apart.
Wish they'd add more characters, not costumes. Ragnaros is a great addition! When will we get an undead hero? Or worgen, gnome/goblin? Always humans, elves and orcs.
I would even love to have an Anub'arak skin for rogue, even it isn't really a rogue. Something different than valeera please ! Ok, reward track skins of Valeera is lovely but i don't mind some change after those years. Maiev was released on Year of the Mammoth and it passed Mammoth, Raven and Dragon and now we are middle of Phoenix and she was a warden, lol.
3,5 years without an alternate character for rogue. I will call this, weird. nothing more, nothing less.
Maybe some Ethereal hero or a Kobold maybe? Even Wrathion might fit to the role but an undead would be great but best fit would be Trade Prince Gallywix for sure.
And after those years, Where is Garona Portait Blizzard ?
Why do Blizzard forget about rogue mains i really can't get it.
Already love this guy. The Deal 12 is amazing. People don't pepare for it well yet. Even the first flight is a nice big board. The healing one I haven't used much but still a great and flexible card.
Trickier to pull off and you use so many spells what do you have left to benefit off the Spell Power.
Still strong though if you do have the spells left to blow up the opponent. You'd probably want to play this, then wait for full crystals and just blow them up. So it's a real slow burn but a good finish.
I want this to be good. Just looks so fun to get that shadow fantasy done well. Also that art is sick. One of my favorite characters from WoW that didn't get the story or reveal he deserved. Him being the Twighlight Father was just so unimpressive. "Just here he is, kill em, get loot, next."
Also I wish Shadowformdid something. Upgrade or refresh the hero power. I hate seeing this card brought back but not useable.
You're going to complete this quest, get the big reward so you hurt your opponent instead of yourself, you're going to slap down Stealer of Souls and then draw cards and play them until you OTK your opponent.
Stealer of Souls will most likely have to be nerfed when this set hits, Warlock has too much self sustain and too much damaging effects for this to not go off
Of course, these stats already exist for Premium members. Like matchup and region specific stats and such. Unfortunately, vS doesn't give you a big list of decks, just 1 or 2 for a given archetype. So I basically use it to find the best performing archetypes. I'm thinking I'm going to email HSReplay because last I checked there was a bug on the site where Initiate and Galakrond's Awakening were considered Standard. It's been around since rotation, and they don't seem to be fixing it. I think I'll try asking if they'll consider making stats for all the ranks free at the same time. I wonder if they have any idea how many people are only paying for the Platinum and above stats.
Tradeable makes this a real strong counter card to run as it doesn't clog your hand when it's useless. It's just a 1 mana swap then, still good. Probably see a lot of play, especially if the new Profession tools are popular.
I feel as though this card is getting underestimated. As cheese said, not many classes can kill it t1. A paladin could play it on t1 then follow up with a Hand of Adal on t2. It reminds me of when paladin played knight of anointment on 1 and used the hand it drew with it on 2. The only issue is you would rather play knight of anointment on 1 instead of this on 1. I am for sure going to give this a shot early on.
This seems easy enough to pull off in one turn that it could work as a cheaper Thaurissan prock. Could make for some fun combos but only if you can play it and prock it right away. That new snake is going to be everywhere.
Licensed Adventurer without the requirement for quest to be active but with the down side. I think this will be an alright card. Could lead to some fun OTKs that were not possible with extra coins.
Immune is undervalued I think. I've seen some crazy stuff with Ace Hunter Kreen. I think this will see play. As others said the Mankirk + Barak combo is strong though. Still I'd think immune + body after is strong enough to beat it out.
3 mana do nothing on board. 3 mana do nothing unless you have a divine shield minion up, 3 mana I rather be spending on actually good cards that protect my board like Seedcloud Buckler
What Im trying to say is that this card is likely trash. Unless of course team5 prints something like sauranite chain gang for paladins only. Even then I'd still be skeptical.
Edit: Dont know why, but I kept thinking it was 3 mana. Oh well, it isn't really changing my opinion because the last thing paladin needs is to skip its turn 1 and I dont think they are ever going to ditch sword of the fallen anyway.
Its a card that basically asks your opponent to question your sanity.
The only time I expect this to see this card competitively in ranked is that the other player is subliminally signalling to me that he's trying to complete achievements rather than play seriously. Outside of that this peasant is covered in shit and will likely never see play.
Its bad. Basically any deck that plays for value would not purposefully not slot in key cards like Soul Mirror just so they can discover it later. The fact that the pool is so large also means you're essentially playing this card for a chance to do something unconventional, like getting a board clear option while playing a tempo decks etc.
The only application this card has is as a surprise bm option or to get a card which you are restricted from putting into your deck, which priest might want given that the new Darkbishop Benedictus practically bans holy spells from priest and you might want one. Or to get Deadly Shot, which nearly all hunters never play but might want.
But since this card doesn't do anything tempo wise, and essentially is about as niche as it can get, I won't count on seeing this panda girl anytime soon.

Why the lack of rogue heroes is so frustrating

United in Stormwind is Hearthstone's Next Expansion - Live Reveal and Recap
Did they announce the release date of the expansion?
New Neutral Minion - Flightmaster Dungar
Already love this guy. The Deal 12 is amazing. People don't pepare for it well yet. Even the first flight is a nice big board. The healing one I haven't used much but still a great and flexible card.
New Mage Spell - Sorcerer's Gambit
Trickier to pull off and you use so many spells what do you have left to benefit off the Spell Power.
Still strong though if you do have the spells left to blow up the opponent. You'd probably want to play this, then wait for full crystals and just blow them up. So it's a real slow burn but a good finish.
New Neutral Minion - Impatient Shopkeep
Simple pack filler but nice to showing of the mechanic. Probably useful in arena.
New Priest Minion - Darkbishop Benedictus
I want this to be good. Just looks so fun to get that shadow fantasy done well. Also that art is sick. One of my favorite characters from WoW that didn't get the story or reveal he deserved. Him being the Twighlight Father was just so unimpressive. "Just here he is, kill em, get loot, next."
Also I wish Shadowformdid something. Upgrade or refresh the hero power. I hate seeing this card brought back but not useable.
New Warlock Spell - The Demon Seed
You're going to complete this quest, get the big reward so you hurt your opponent instead of yourself, you're going to slap down Stealer of Souls and then draw cards and play them until you OTK your opponent.
Stealer of Souls will most likely have to be nerfed when this set hits, Warlock has too much self sustain and too much damaging effects for this to not go off
Top Standard Decks for Your End of June 2021 Season Climb
Of course, these stats already exist for Premium members. Like matchup and region specific stats and such. Unfortunately, vS doesn't give you a big list of decks, just 1 or 2 for a given archetype. So I basically use it to find the best performing archetypes. I'm thinking I'm going to email HSReplay because last I checked there was a bug on the site where Initiate and Galakrond's Awakening were considered Standard.

I wonder if they have any idea how many people are only paying for the Platinum and above stats.
I assume that 57%-58% was for Diamond through Legend. Of course, to compare, I'd have to know where my deck stands at those ranks. https://hsreplay.net/decks/qsYBtDORz4omc8rMfLrBTh/#tab=overview if anybody wants to look it up.
Edit: Sadly, I was only able to finish at like Platinum 3 with my deck. Largely because I haven't been getting a ton of games in lately.
New Warlock Spell - The Demon Seed
That's going to be strong and easy to pull off too. I am sure this will see play.
New Neutral Minion - Rustrot Viper
Ooze has been replaced!
Tradeable makes this a real strong counter card to run as it doesn't clog your hand when it's useless. It's just a 1 mana swap then, still good. Probably see a lot of play, especially if the new Profession tools are popular.
New Priest Spell - Elekk Mount
Probably too slow but that's a lot of stats.
I'll experiment for sure but I think that takes too much set up. Power Word: Fortitude probably keeps the high end spell slot for now.
New Neutral Minion - Peasant
I feel as though this card is getting underestimated. As cheese said, not many classes can kill it t1. A paladin could play it on t1 then follow up with a Hand of Adal on t2. It reminds me of when paladin played knight of anointment on 1 and used the hand it drew with it on 2. The only issue is you would rather play knight of anointment on 1 instead of this on 1. I am for sure going to give this a shot early on.
New Mage Spell - Fire Sale
Mages don't use minions so it's a one sided hellfire! /sarcasm
More draw, situational spell. Not sure it's good enough.
Great name though.
New Warrior Spell - Heavy Plate
Simple, shows off the new mechanic well. Not sure it will see play but has a higher chance thanks to Tradeable.
New Warlock Weapon - Runed Mithril Rod
This seems easy enough to pull off in one turn that it could work as a cheaper Thaurissan prock. Could make for some fun combos but only if you can play it and prock it right away. That new snake is going to be everywhere.
New Neutral Minion - Mailbox Dancer
Licensed Adventurer without the requirement for quest to be active but with the down side. I think this will be an alright card. Could lead to some fun OTKs that were not possible with extra coins.
New Neutral Minion - Pandaren Importer
Scorpid is just better.
However I do like this card text. The idea of building your deck to try and target something outside of it is fun. Though impossible in wild.
New Neutral Minion - Peasant
Cute pack filler.
I like this card only because it hurts First Day of School.
New Paladin Weapon - Prismatic Jewel Kit
I love this card, divine shield pay off and hand buffs. So my thing.
Sadly the new viper kills most of the weapons. Could still work if you could pop all 3 at once.
New Hunter Spell - Ramming Mount
Immune is undervalued I think. I've seen some crazy stuff with Ace Hunter Kreen. I think this will see play. As others said the Mankirk + Barak combo is strong though. Still I'd think immune + body after is strong enough to beat it out.
New Hunter Spell - Ramming Mount
I think this card is good but guaranteeing the Mankrik & Barak Kodobane combo is better
New Paladin Weapon - Prismatic Jewel Kit
3 mana do nothing on board. 3 mana do nothing unless you have a divine shield minion up, 3 mana I rather be spending on actually good cards that protect my board like Seedcloud Buckler
What Im trying to say is that this card is likely trash. Unless of course team5 prints something like sauranite chain gang for paladins only. Even then I'd still be skeptical.
Edit: Dont know why, but I kept thinking it was 3 mana. Oh well, it isn't really changing my opinion because the last thing paladin needs is to skip its turn 1 and I dont think they are ever going to ditch sword of the fallen anyway.
