6 mana at slow speed sounds like a deal breaker to me--it calls to mind Trueshot Barrage and Winter's Breath, both of which sound incredible on paper but in practice no one runs them due to how awkward they are to use.
Both of those spells are very situational, requiring opponent to have multiple weak (or weakened) units on board. For that reason, they aren't really worth the mana cost even though the effect is very powerful in a perfect world.
I don't think the Slow speed is such a big deal. If you're playing this, you're already in Targon, so all you have to do is make sure you have Bastion backup when you play this.

The video never showcases the card in its regular version (that we can readily see, anyway), so without information like its rarity gem we're gonna leave it alone for now. Needed a showcase like Taric's where we got to see all of the cards outside the video.
Witness me, and soon you'll see, - That line says that The Card has an effect when played, It has Battlecry/Outcast probably. or;
A land of ice and stone, - We can bind this line with first line and card image's background covers ice and stone or card's animation is about it like how Illidan shows his wings etc. It might not be tho, It might refer completely Northrend but that doesn't change my guess tbh because my guess will do their job for the name of The Lich King. So it might refer to it like "You'll see Northrend when you witness my job."
After all, a noble falls, - It has probably deathrattle too or has an effect with destroying minions or sth like that.
You'll soon hear the moving bones. - Moving bones might hint that animating bones with a spell which will be summoning a minion here or destroying a minion or minions.
Firstly, I've thought about "Battlecry and Deathrattle" minions and Teron Gorefiend came to my mind. There was nothing noble with him and also there was no title in card's name so I gave it up.
Than i said that "What if that doesn't have "Battlecry and Deathrattle" but an effect just like combination of them !?".
So the card we are searching here will have a nobel title, Battlecry and Deathrattle or I will take this "Battlecry and Deathrattle" thing one level above and would call it as an effect that does the same with it like Disciplinarian Gandling.
Being a grandmaster of a school came to me noble and the card has a title aswell. "Disciplinarian" title might not be noble enough but when you think it is the title of a grandmaster and emphasizing to be a grandmaster, it feels it is noble enough.
Nice thing about this card is if your opponent tries to buff their unit it still will be silenced if this card gets played on daybreak.
Good card i think can deal with alot of units safely.
You make a good point. The fact that Sejuani decks can't play Fury of the North to protect her from this is actually pretty awesome. If they do the buff will just get negated.
I'm certainly happy that Leona is a card now, but...no Tough? She's one of the few champions that didn't come with a basic keyword in either iteration, like Tough or Overwhelm or Challenger. I'm happy she has Stun, at least, but the Yasuo synergy is barely present; we'll need more than just the champion card to pull him away from Noxus, with their plethora of Stuns.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the card. It's just missing something to make it 11/10.
It's interesting to me that so many of the new champions (Leona, L2 Nocturne, and to a lesser extent Taric) really want you to develop rather than open-attack. I wonder how the new meta will develop since so many popular cards (Riptide Rex, Yone, Twisted Fate, Sejuani, The Ruination, Swain + nexus damage) severely punish developing in the late game.
Hello, it is I again, world renowned writer of the award winning thread I think I fixed Quest Hunter and creator of the critically acclaimed deck Hey now, you're a Zixor (results may vary). Now I'm usually not one to abuse the forums to promotes my half baked homebrews (that's a lie, I have done that quite a lot, but I'm trying to stop), but this is a very special occasion.
Now the backstory is that after trying (and achieving mild success) to build a functional Quest Hunter deck for this expansion I eventually was inspired by fellow user Pezman to incorporate the whacky King Krush, Beastmaster Leoroxx, and Ramkahen Wildtamer combo as a finisher. Despite being technically promising the deck kind of fell short in terms of consistency, mainly because having 4 combo pieces in a Hunter deck that starts off with one less card doesn'T really work too well when you're already struggling to fight for the board and stay alive.
Disappointed by own failures but not willing to give up yet I was trying to find other ways to incorporate the Krush combo (in the process of which I ended up crafting all remaining Hunter legendaries of the current rotation, don't ask). I ended up brainstorming a way to just leave out the quest and use bothArcane Fletcher and Professor Slate as a way to create a deck that both has the draw power of Quest Hunter (who can use Cult Master quite well) as well as the ability to actually deal with the board and not just taking face damage every single turn.
Naturally, Pen Flinger seemed like a natural fit having great cross synergy with both the small spells and Fletcher. Furthermore, Krolusk Barkstripper seemed to make sense as well, especially since it counters the many "I make big minion and you lose" strategies that currently prevail. I filled the rest of the deck with 1-cost minions and all the useful 1-mana spells I could find.
Now I going in I had basically no expectations. I fully expected to just brick every other game and barely even compete. In short, I expected complete failure...but that didn't happen.
For some reason and through what can only be explained as an unholy miracle brought about by the powers of an eldritch god of chaos and confusion...I actually won games...and not just a few cheesy steals...legitimate beatdowns against meta decks. I'm not even sure how exactly it works, but there is just so much cross synergy in this deck that not only do you have a clear plan to victory in almost every matchup, but also just enough consistency to make it work with a +50% margin.
I'm not gonna tell you how to exactly play this deck because it's so much more fun going in blind and seeing it work for no reason in particular, but let me just sum up a few things:
- Pen Flinger is the absolute MVP. That fella puts in so much work, from removal to straight up murdering opponents from 10 health. He basically does what Vereesa Windrunner couldn't and more.
- The Krush combo is essentially just a failsafe. I have won plenty games without even playing Leoroxx or Krush (and also won some where I did play them, sometimes independantly from each other). Don't play like a regular combo deck, play like a burn/tempo deck trying to get in as much chip damage as you can. At the end of the day, Leo + a single Krush + Hero Power is 10 damage.
-Ramkahen Wildtamer was a dead draw in the Quest build, but here it's not only a combo piece but a value generator as well. Don't hold onto it if Krush is nowhere near. If you can copy something like a buffed [Hearthstone Card (Krolusk) Not Found], Wolpertinger or even just a Shimmerfly you're already doing well. The combo is only needed against control decks (such as Priest, Warrior, and the occasional Quest Shaman). Be careful not to accidentally hit the token from Adorable Infestation though
-Arcane Fletcher is your draw power, but, much like Cult Master, don't be afraid to just draw 2 cards (or even 1, depending on your situation). The key is being just greedy enough to not fall behind.
So anyways, after much hype, here's the list. While I believe there are still some potential improvements possible this is pretty much my finalized list. There aren't really any cards that need replacing. It's not gonna get any more consistent than this. Do note that first and foremost this is a fun deck. Don't craft any of these cards if you're short on dust expecting to get a nice winstreak to Legend. You can climb with it, but it mostly exists to confuse your opponent and make them question how in god's name they could have lost against this deck.
(I do recommend playing this now. Who knows how the meta shifts in the next expansion and after the rotation the deck falls apart without Arcane Fletcher anyways)
Ok, so a land of ice and stone - obviously Northrend. The Knights of the Frozen Throne expac is the first thing that comes to mind. But not necessarily.
After all, a noble falls - Many things are considered noble, not just royalty.
You'll soon hear the marching bones - it's a clear reference to the Scourge and the undead.
New Targon Spell - Sunburst
Both of those spells are very situational, requiring opponent to have multiple weak (or weakened) units on board. For that reason, they aren't really worth the mana cost even though the effect is very powerful in a perfect world.
Sunburst is always worth the mana cost. Case in point: People use Thermogenic Beam at 6 mana all the time to remove threats like Thresh or Sejuani.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Your thinking is good, but you're off the mark with the battlecry/outcast guess.
I'll say this, it's a card that never saw play anywhere. Not constructed, not arena, it's a pretty bad card.
New Targon Spell - Zenith Blade
I don't think the Slow speed is such a big deal. If you're playing this, you're already in Targon, so all you have to do is make sure you have Bastion backup when you play this.

Well I am hoping a few of those cards (mostly Riptide Rex and maybe Sejuani) get knocked down a notch in the same patch as these release in.

One of the best 1 drops in the game.

The first question I ask when I see a new set of cards is "Which one of them synergyses with Nautilus?".
No, "How viable is it?" isn't a question worth bringing up :p

So, all things considered, I'll guess Headmaster Kel'Thuzad
The part about witness me, and soon you'll see is getting me tho.
If it's not quite right, I hope I can help someone!

Yes, old school Even Paladins when Genn Greymane was in standard ran 1 copy of Windfury Harpy for Corpsetaker. Gyrocopter basically powercreeps Windfury Harpy in that role.
