Ok, I'll admit: Mutate is FREAKING AWESOME! Might just be what makes me try out the game.
I think I like it so much because it reminds me of Evolution creatures in Duel Masters, except straight-up BETTER, since the cards are more flexible and less restrictive. Maybe I would've preferred if they were restricted to their creature type (Dinosaurs can only mutate Dinosaurs, that kind of stuff), since it would be easier to balance and would promote tribal decks, which I personally love.
How do rotations work in MTG? I know they have them, but I don't know when/how often they happen.
Treant druid is going to bee big with this. Right now the deck can be played with as little as 6 minions. Add this to the already powerfull treenforcements and you got and agrro token deck with way too much cheap card draw!
And hey, if you burn a a minion, so what? mage burns spells all the time with their card.
Is there a point of mana ramp that costs too much mana? Nourish before nerf costed 3 mana in teory due to giving 2 mana to use, and after nerf it only got played in quest druid.
This one costs the same as nourish, doesn't buy you 3 cards, and competes with nourish or breath of dreams.
Won't say its bad because mana maniplation is always tricky, but I don't see it work.
1. Murlocks again? 2. I don't know how to feel about this one... one one hand you get delayed 4/3 with murlock synergy, but on the other I don't like it because of the delay, plus if you draw it later in the game it's basically useless.
This seems like a good adition to control/highlander priest. May not be played just because priest can't draw cards consistently anymore (rip norshire).
Obviously the drawback is getting rid of your good cards (plus rng ofc), but you get +2/+2 buffed demons which is very powerful. I expect it to see at least some amount of play.
Not just 3/1 deathrattle body, or 4/1, or maybe 5/1, but a huge 9/1 body. With enough trick, this could be devastating. Lackey give Rush or more Health. Warrior gives Charge, or Shaman gives Windfury. Or maybe Stealth from something else.
This and Cursed Vagrant have similar overwhelming value. With 4 mana, this is just bloody OP. Compare this Magma Rager and we have most card in Classic sets became Obsolete.
I think Blizzard need to re-haul every cards in classic to be in the same power level of this expansion.
Also not to mention Cairne Bloodhoof. Or Restless Mummy for the best comparison. Class card got beaten by Neutral card. Forgot this one doesn't have Rush.
99.9% of the cards in hearthstone compare favorably with magma Rafer.
Being better than that card is no feat. This doesn't compare well with cairne, it's a 4 hp minion instead of 10 hp minion over 2 bodies.. Also cairne is not good either.. Didn't see play for around 4 years.
You can play Alexstrasza on turn 4 with that card.
Highroll potential is always good.
Assuming you play it on 2 with coin or inervate, and turn 4 it doenst hit another minion. Kinda inconsistent, but should it happen, worthy of the best higlight in youtube
This card powercreeps 2 cards at once: Worgen Infiltrator and Twisted Worgen. Feels ok to put in aggresive rogue and obviously stealth rogue, which unfortunately may not take off this expansion.
New Paladin Minion - Imprisoned Sungill
Murloc decks want tempo so this is far too slow.
New Hunter Minion - Helboar
Ok 1-drop, but you don’t want to hit this with other beast meant for stronger animals.
DH Prologue is Active now !
Oh man the Night Elves music from WC3 in the campaign page! The feels!
New Druid Spell - Overgrowth
Good value compared to Wild growth or Nourish. Outclassed by Breath of Dreams.
New Druid Spell - Ironbark
Why would you waste a slot on this card? Can’t see this either in arena or constructed.
New Druid Spell - Fungal Fortunes
Interesting for spell heavy decks, maybe some kind of aggressive / token decks will use this.

Fully Grown is very similar to some existing cards, but it's definitely brand new, since it features the keyword counter mechanic.

Title says everything. Go get your Demon hunters. :)

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Ashes of Outland Hunter Cards
Great article but damn, OOC on mobile makes it hard to read discussions. Text gets squeezed down to 4-letter columns after just a few responses.
New Druid Spell - Ironbark
Didn't even consider that! but what big spells are you comboing with that? A malygos play maybe?

Godzilla !? really ? :D
Also i feel like Bristling Boar, Fully Grown and some other cards are also from old sets, They were in core set 2019 iirc.

It's good, not great. Not like hunter really needs great, but it is losing Springpaw

I'm going to go with this version. Making cards I want to see played and tested is my prime reason for entering, so I got to go with it. G all!

Who has started converting their decks to prepare for post rotation?
Why should I put myself in unneeded disadvantage?
New Neutral Minion - Disguised Wanderer
This is some of my favourite art from this expansion, I feel like the token generated should have been a full size hulking demon though.
Edit - Just had a look and the Cursed Shadow from the Cursed Vagrant Rogue card would have been more appropriate
New Druid Spell - Bogbeam
I am with you, as many others are. Still, this is better that the other one that gives 1/3 and taunt
New Rogue Minion - Spymistress
This card powercreeps 2 cards at once: Worgen Infiltrator and Twisted Worgen. Feels ok to put in aggresive rogue and obviously stealth rogue, which unfortunately may not take off this expansion.
