This is rather like Blastmaster Boom, in that you want to make sure you have certain cards shuffled into a deck in order to get the full effect. Requires setup, but is a nice payoff.
Yes I can confirm. I think the new mode will be something related to older expansions...
Seasonal rotation of expansions very likely.
But the dilemma is: Do we have to craft the cards that we owned before at full craft price? Sounds like a joke, isnt it?
They said "These cards can only be played in Wild format", so a lot of people (like me) dusted them because "Wild it's Wild" (you know what I mean). It looks like a giant SCAM from my point of view and I'm not ever going to re-craft them at full craft price.
There's a lot of F2Players around, and it will be very hard for them to access such a mode. I hope they will understand that, and act smartly in that matter. Maybe allowing players to craft old cards for the dust price instead of craft price.
If it wont happen, the mode will probably be a fiasco.
Hunter's last 1 mana weapon, Candleshot, saw play in construction until it rotated, and why wouldn't it?
it was cheap, flexible, it gave your hero immune while attacking and could be slotted into the popular spell hunter deck at the time (and other decks, for that matter).
This weapon is also cheap, flexible, but trades immunity for giving your minions rush or even a second attack phase like Hunter's The Beast Within, although instead of a random enemy minion it will attack whatever you attacked.
The best outcome is to have your minions do favorable trades or go face, and then use this on a high value target to have your board go after that threat so no damage missing.
And if you're running this weapon in your deck, you'll want to be running Ace Hunter Kreen, whose ongoing effect makes you and your minions immune while attacking on your turn.
Taunts are sort of a problem with this weapon, if you attack it first with your hero your minions will use their attack phase on it.
Oh yeah, this looks fun. All you need is the right setup and you have a nice big taunt with value stats. Not likely to work well as demon synergy, though, in terms of cards that summon the demons from your hand or deck. That would bypass the powerful battlecry.
Buff your spells by a minion you choose, and because of the discount the discover mana cost wasn't an investment? Amazing, also as others mention, there not many spell power minions and in both classes ones that have it are the primes. This card seems pretty good.
I just know that wild decks are going to mix this, Twig of the World Tree, and K[Hearthstone Card (un the Forgotten King) Not Found] together for some mana ramp combos I really hate, lol.
In DH you will mostly hit by 2 with your hero power, so this by itself seems powerful. I'm not quite sure about the ability, seems to do more good than bad but still it is a weird ability.
It's hard to rate any of these cards without just focus on on the soulshard system as a whole, but I will say that, even without special cards to synergize with it, this is still pretty decent, as its missing durability is replaced by two rounds of healing overall.
Good basic body with a powerful effect if given the right setup. Just picture playing this when you have Warglaves of Azinoth. Of course, you would likely take a ton of damage doing that as well.

Was it a dream or Blizzard hinted at the new game mode to be in Wild format?
Prudence is a virtue.
I don't remember them saying anything about the new game mode, but it is probably a good idea to wait and see before disenchanting anything.
New Demon Hunter & Warlock Minion - Spirit Jailer
Slightly sticky demon that could make for a nice turn-1 play thanks to the synergy of the deck.

Trueaim Crescent is a New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
The way it worked with The Beast Within is that if you used it on a minion ready to attack it would not be able to attack again that turn.
The onlny way to " double attack" is if you attack regularly with the minion and then used the spell
I'm assuming this works the same.
Basically, make sure you use all your minions before you attack with your weapon.
New Warlock Spell - School Spirits
An AoE that gives you health, basically. Not bad, even on its own.

New Warlock Minion - Shadowlight Scholar
Basic yet powerful. Great way to target that annoying support minion hiding behind a taunt, or finish off the hero's last bit of health.

Primordial Studies is a New Shaman & Mage Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
Wow, it seems like I might play mage again this expansion, instead of again choosing not to craft 143266 Legendaries for a Highlander one.
New Shaman Minion - Instructor Fireheart
Strange wording (1 or more), but I guess it's meant to exclude 0-cost spells?
Primordial Studies is a New Shaman & Mage Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
It doesnt matter what minion you discover
What DOES matter is that you can play these, wait, and eventualy play a 7 cost Malygos(among other crazy plays)
The discovery part is meh. The reduction on spell damage minions is fantastic

Trueaim Crescent is a New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
Unless the target dies first
New Mage & Shaman Spell - Primordial Studies
Around 55% for a good card for shaman, around 62% for something good for mage. (just counting non-basic not super expensive cards)
New Druid Minion - Forest Warden Omu

Trueaim Crescent is a New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
I assume it makes minions attack from left to right side of the board, so you would just have to position it on the right, but I have no idea

I'm not quite sure about the ability, seems to do more good than bad but still it is a weird ability.
Primordial Studies is a New Shaman & Mage Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
It won't be very random, only if there were not so many trash neutral spell damage minions...
New Druid & Hunter Spell - Guardian Animals
I don't see a place for this in any deck, even wild. I don't want to sound bad but I hope I don't open this.
Primordial Studies is a New Shaman & Mage Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
Primordial Studies Primordial Studies, don't play the discovered minion on setup turn.
then on actual turn:
Malygos
Lightning Bloom
Lightning Bloom
Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt
Lava Burst
Frost Shock
Frost Shock
38 damage OTK
10 card combo, but 1 study and 1 frost shock can be dropped for just 8 card OTK if you don't need to go over 30
Trueaim Crescent is a New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion
No idea, could be both based on what I've seen with previous cards
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Marrowslicer
New Mage & Shaman Spell - Primordial Studies
That card reduces the cost of your own Malygos to 8 mana. 7 mana if stacks.
Maybe that let malyshaman shine with the new innervate.
With 2x Primordial Studies and 2x Lightning Bloom you have 7 extra mana to burst the enemy with +5 spell dmg.
And Vashj Prime reduces the cost of spells...
I don't know if It Will be good, but i'll try it for sure.
