  • New Mage Spell - Mask of C'Thun

    I really don't know how to evaluate a card like this. Its Timepiece of Horror (who the hell remembers this thing) at a cheaper 7 mana price, but essentially much like the former, doesn't really do much when there's a board presence.

    But because there's always that small chance you play this after a board wipe and deal 10 damage to the face, this gets high marks. Don't count on it happening too often though.

  • New Demon Hunter Minion - Il'gynoth

    Time to put 2 Kobold Stickyfingers in each deck...

  • New Mage Spell - Grand Finale

    Animated Avalanche never saw play and neither will this.

    Wouldn't matter much even if you can get 3 or 4 8/8s on board. The fact that its turn 8 and you've just played a card that doesn't affect the current state of tempo from your opponent more or less guarantee you're going to die.

    And to top it off, you can't even Frost Nova and swing with this thing. Not to mention, where are all those elementals be from? Are we really keeping all these stuff in hand for this payoff that doesn't even win the game?

  • New Neutral Minion - Rock Rager

    By far the best target for Feat of Strength. It's 2 mana 10/6. That's broken Kappa

  • Great deck! Those Radiant Guardians helped me survive to win a few games against MF/Scouts. Thanks for sharing.

  • New Neutral Minion - Prize Vendor

    So, hmmm, what's the opposite of power creep called? (and I'm not talking only about Coldlight Oracle, I'm also talking about Fishflinger)

  • New Hunter Minion - Mystery Winner

    Its a 1 drop that gives out a secret. What else is there to say. It will certainly always see play in most decks, just because hunter secrets are annoying as hell and it gives out a curve in case you needed it.

  • New Hunter Spell - Open the Cages

    Its not really that hard to trigger. In most cases, you play your usual 1-2 drops then something like Inconspicuous Rider on 3 that pressures your opponent to clear the board and if they don't, or guessed wrong, then you get your animal companion up for free.

    The fact that it pressures your opponent to clear your board is already significant enough.

  • New Warrior Spell - Stage Dive

    Quote From DescentOfDragonsOp

    seems good but the question is would there be any good rush minions in warrior for this card to be viable

    Well, there's Kargath Bladefist, Scion of Ruin, Restless Mummy, Doctor Krastinov and Bloodboil Brute or, as it's known nowadays,  literally all of Warrior's Rush minions. All of them are minions you want tutored out and all of them want a +2/+1 buff. And the new ones want the buff as well.

    In fact, this card also makes Devoted Maniac look like a good card so, you know, Galakrond Warrior likes it too.

  • Hearthstone Patch 19.0 - Darkmoon Faire, New Duels Powers, Progression Update, Achievements, Battle Pass

    So the pre-buy just gets you the battlegrounds perks and the Tavern pass is separate?

  • New Hunter Minion - Dancing Cobra

    If beast hunter needed a nice powerful 2 drop that can at least stay alive until turn 3, then this card fits that description.

    The corrupt value is only a nice little bonus. And I do mean little. This is one case where dropping this on curve is leagues away from getting value from the corruption.

  • Hearthstone Patch 19.0 - Darkmoon Faire, New Duels Powers, Progression Update, Achievements, Battle Pass

    :(

  • New Shaman Spell - Revolve

    I see this card fitting in Quest Shaman. Between the fact the battlecry minions tend to be understatted to the fact that Revolve can upgrade your board somewhat while shutting down buffs and minions that synergise with each other (and Libram of Wisdoms). It's not a removal card. It's disruption. And it's disruption I'm perfectly happy to receive from Wandmaker and Cobalt Spellkin.

  • New Hunter Minion - Trampling Rhino

    I love this card, but have come to grips that until the next rotation this would probably not see any play.

    Its just a decent card that sometimes deal damage to the face. But because it interferes with the polkelt synergy with Dinotamer Brann into Dragonbane the next turn, I can't see why this card will get included.

    Maybe beast hunter? But that deck has yet to prove itself. There's a chance. But admitably as small as the end of a sewing needle.

  • Deckbuilder down?

    Staff Pro

    Hey all,

    Sorry for the deckbuilder trouble. I still honestly have no idea what happened.

    I had to crash shortly after we were done with reveal related stuff on the site because I've been super sleep deprived.

    At 4 PM Eastern, I was pinged that there were problems on the site, at the same time this thread was created.

    At 6 PM Eastern, I woke up.

    At 8:22 PM Eastern, a fix was deployed to our live site and our cache server was kicked, fixing the deckbuilder.

    I still do not have an understanding of what changed to cause this problem. The deckbuilder was fine after all the new cards were added into the site and code for the API that powers the deckbuilder has been stable for weeks. Due to the stability of it, the API was not the first thing I looked at but apparently, it should have been because I noticed a bug.

    I believe this bug gave way for a cache-based race condition within the API if and would only happen if we had a large surge in traffic on the deckbuilder. I have not yet created a proper test case to confirm this is the case, but I'm at least confident this won't happen again.

  • Hearthstone Patch 19.0 - Darkmoon Faire, New Duels Powers, Progression Update, Achievements, Battle Pass

    They had said during the big announcement day with the expansion reveal and everything, they made mention of the Tavern Pass changing to be this paid Rewards Track.  But still, maybe because of the same thought, I believed BG perks would remain part of the Tavern Pass.

  • New Hunter Spell - Jewel of N'Zoth

    Its always a little iffy trying to evaluate value cards in hunter.

    But this one gets a little more than a glance because Khartut Defender as a defensive option is so terrifying that getting 3 back for this card cements down hunter well enough for them to do things that hunter normal could not, like pulling out combos with Scarlet Webweaver shenanigans or Hunting Party stuff.

    Unfortunately, since hunter would probably want to play other deathrattles as well, most likely you'll be praying hard for that Khartut Defender to show up at least once, otherwise this card will simply mean skipping a turn for hunter. Without any means of guaranteeing it, I can't say I can see how this card will flip anything.

  • Hearthstone Patch 19.0 - Darkmoon Faire, New Duels Powers, Progression Update, Achievements, Battle Pass

    I'm happy though, aside from the XP boost, the pass offers no in-game advantage, just mostly cosmetics.

    I'm not FTP but I hate being "forced" to buy something to stay competitive.

  • New Druid Minion - Faire Arborist

    Nice little support for token druid. I can see it being in there. But as for whether token druid will ever see more than niche play? Probably not.

  • New Druid Spell - Moontouched Amulet

    Its a slightly weaker Feral Rage with both effects when corrupted, of which it will almost certainly always will be. Even as a simply 3 mana deal 4 damage, that's a decent if uninteresting effect, but does the removal job well.

    At the moment, I can't see its inclusion because the likelihood is that we'll be seeing more nzoths, cthuns, and yogg from druid than ysharaj. And outside of that mountseller turns out prefer to get cheap spells out than something bulky like this.

    But it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it gets into a tier 2 or tier 1 deck at somepoint within the next year.

  • New Shaman Weapon - Whack-A-Gnoll Hammer

    Quote From Pezman

    Powermace is the best comparison here. They're really quite similar, but this is just slightly slower but more flexible.

    I would say this is faster, you get a 1/1 Stat earlier than power mace. 

  • New Paladin Minion - Redscale Dragontamer

    There is not need whatsoever for a Dragon Murloc deck. There is however a very good case for aggro Murloc Paladin to tutor out Scalelord. And considering Murloc Paladin is actually not awful (it's not amazing either though), having the chance to tutor out the deck's best win more card is really good.

  • New Rogue Spell - Cloak of Shadows

    Pro

    I agree, except Valeera the Hollow also gave you 5 armor and a new hero power. Your comparison to Time Out is much more on point.
