  • PCGamesN Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Card - Horde Operative

    Yikes. Gives Secret Mages a taste of their own medicine. Don't think it's going to stop them though, the secrets remain in play to screw you over and they actually play around their own secrets better than most opponents can against theirs: they eat a Counterspell by discounting their own secret with Kirin Tor Mage, so they still got a 4/3 for 3 out of the deal, eat an explosive runes with Kirin Tor Mage or Mad Scientist to still get a free secret, ignore Rigged Faire Game because they go face all the time...only Flame Ward can really hurt them, and that's a one-of.

  • New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite

    Seems solid, there are plenty of weapons on turn 3 or 4 in warrior

  • PCGamesN Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Card - Horde Operative

    Looks like someone just gave Shadowjeweler Hanar a run for its money.

    It doesn't remove secrets, but allows you full information while also making your opponent's turn hell. Interestingly it does have a funky effect if your opponent is playing Plagiarize, so both sides can just secret up all day playing nothing but this card.

    Will it see play? Perhaps not unless spider tanks are absolutely required and secrets are everywhere. Admitably, it would be funny to copy all your opponent's secrets and let them have a taste of their own christmas tree.

  • New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice

    Quote From NegativeNemsy

    Mage achievement:  Kill 7 minions with Reckless Apprentice or Deal x amount of total damage with your hero power.  Place your bets.

    Bet placed :P

    This card could be excellent in the right deck, even if just to buff our new 10-mana Mage Legendary friend. In Wild this has the potential to be a really difficult to pull off but very satisfyingly cheeky board clear.

  • New Priest Minion - Lightshower Elemental

    That is a huge card! N’zoth gonna love bringing this back, and I love the flavor and card name of this card

  • PCGamesN Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Card - Horde Operative

    Nice Ice Block Idiot.

  • New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice

    Even mage. Also note that it will do more damage the higher your hero power, so if it is a 3 damage fire ball, then it will do 3 damage to all enemies

    who is the secret mage now?!

  • New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative

    I can hear secret mage in wild crying a river from this .Also if paladin becomes  very op with its new legendary or even secret rogue this card will see a lot of play .

  • New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative

    This is some wonderful anti-Secret tech.

    It'll be funny to see both players playing around secrets that they both know the other one has. If anything, this puts the active player in a better position since this will likely trigger an opponent's secret.

    I for one welcome Horde Operative into the meta, especially if Secret Pally is going to become a thing...

    One thing I am curious about: is it better to simply remove your opponent's Secrets, or to use them against your opponent?

  • New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe

    This is really really strong and I am excited to play it, but not to play against it

  • PCGamesN Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Card - Horde Operative

    This is pretty crazy. Good anti-secret tech in terms of finding out what your opponent's secrets are.

     

  • New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative

    Weird tech card, it doesn't actually disable the secrets but it can provide huge value and gives you the information you need to play around, all on a premium body. Might see play if secrets are (still) a thing.

  • New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative

    WHAT IS THIS??? This is insane! This puts so much value against secret mage, which annoys me so much, and will make it a little easier to kill them. Cheaper than eater of secrets and has a better starting stat line. 5/5

  • New Neutral Minion - Horde Operative

    Beat Secret mage by becoming the secret mage

  • Demon Hunters Get a New Spell Mechanic in Forged in the Barrens - Sigils! Here's How They Work And What They Could Be

    Sigil of Blugil: Give a minion in your hand Charge, +2 Attack

  • New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame

    Quote From ElSabidon
    Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

    That'S pretty damn strong for any anti-aggro demon Hunter (and of course Lifesteal OTK remains untouched, because fun is illegal).

    The upside is that you can completely shut down an opponent's curve.

    THe downside is that if they find a way to buff their board out of reach then you need a backup plan

     

    Either way I think this is consistent enough to just be playable in a slow DH deck to set up those spicy swing turn (Big Demon especially)

    Back up plan might be Immolation Aura, a card that already sees play on exactly Lifesteal OTK DHunter. And any reason Lifesteal OTK DHunter has to delay aggro is very good for that deck, inluding delayed effects.

    I wanted to write that, but I forgot what the card was called so I just pretended it didn't exist and hoped nobody would notice.

     

    But yeah, Aura will probably also be part of the slow decks if only for this very reason (also because Stealth Rogue is probably sticking around and fuck those guys)

  • New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster

    Another card I'm not quite sure how to asses since at the moment we're missing some key information about DH's interaction with Deathrattles.

    On the face of it, it's a perfectly okay play on tempo if it brings out that additional early-game value.

  • New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster

    And this is demon hunter... how? This seems pretty terrible, but seems better for hunter, the actual deathrattle deck

  • New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame

    Great design, cool mechanic. Makes me want to play DH, oh no.

  • New Warrior Minion - Mor'shan Elite

    On the one hand, this card can absolutely be bonkers with Feat of Strength, on the other, its just a decent if unimpressive card without the buff.

    My gut instinct is that there would be a place somewhere for this card to exist comfortably; maybe there's some kind of Armagedillo effect in barrens that is yet to be revealed.

  • New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye

    5 stars - amazing, everything I have been looking for, insane damage that also hits face, finally revived hero power mage and will make even mage playable. And with the buff of the drake that lets you spam down your hero power, this is gonna be fun
