Deathrattle Taunts are always great and healing is always great too.
I want to meme it in Plot Twist deck. This might become one of the core cards of that deck since some are rotating.
Survive until turn 10:
PLay Betrug + Plot Twist
somehow win off of that
Honestly, doesn'T sound much worse than what we currently have so let's go for it.
yeah but the problem part is "survive until turn 10" with plot twist decks. Believe me, You can't imagine how hard i have tried for that archetype. :D
I don't think it's that hard anymore, Dark Skies puts in a lot of work these days and we have a decent amount of early taunt at this point. If anything, now's the time.
This will be run in every shaman deck for the next two years. Amazing effect, and its Vulpera Scoundrel with better bases. Also good for wild elemental shaman?
Drawing cards for free (still -2 health). Nice, will see quite a lot of play. ALSO THIS IS A DEMON Meaning this can get ressed by the prime. Maybe someone can use this in some wild deck to keep ressing these with that prime and Bloodreaver Gul'dan To do some insane mana cheating into an OTK? Just thinking aloud. It is interesting however.
So if you run both Spymistress and Worgen Infiltrator you can almost guarantee to start with a 1-drop that value trades into just about anything on the next turn, so that's pretty rad.
Bloodreaver Gul'dan has been roborn. This will definatly see play in wild. Cubelock will love it. In standard i'm curious at best, it will be a nice reload tho.
I really loved how artists handle with this expansion. Almost all cards have great arts.
After I played a lot of Legends of Runeterra, I really hope that someday Blizzard adds viewable fullscreen arts in-game. Those arts desires more than little images.
Discardlock is known to well.... Suck. There i said it. i don't have that much hope for the card, but i'm keeping an eye on it. Might become a sleeper.
I don't believe they ever stated that every class would get one. Neither Shaman or Rogue has one - Shaman I can't really say why, but Rogue certainly has a nice split of 5 Secret cards and 5 Stealth cards, so maybe they just didn't feel one fit.
New Shaman Spell - Serpentshrine Portal
This can go face too, its Maelstrom Portal's brother.
New Neutral Minion - Soulbound Ashtongue
Treachery in wild. Opens up more combo opportunities than Wrathguard at one turn.
New Shaman Spell - Totemic Reflection
Totem card that get's no synergy. Maybe support for odd shaman in wild? (Or just normal totem shaman, without genn or baku)
New Warlock Minion - Enhanced Dreadlord
I don't think it's that hard anymore, Dark Skies puts in a lot of work these days and we have a decent amount of early taunt at this point. If anything, now's the time.
New Shaman Minion - Marshspawn
This will be run in every shaman deck for the next two years. Amazing effect, and its Vulpera Scoundrel with better bases. Also good for wild elemental shaman?
All Card Flavor Text for the Ashes of Outland Hearthstone Expansions
My favorites:
Kayn Sunfury - I'm a sucker for revamped songs lyrics
Skull of Gul'dan - Hamlet is one of the few Shakespeare plays I actually like
Zixor, Apex Predator - I RESENT being denied head scritches!
Murgur Murgurgle - I love this. the contrast between the epic-ness of the story and the inherent goofiness of Murlocs. *chef kiss*
Aldor Truthseeker - It's so simple and stupid, but it legit made me laugh.
Skeletal Dragon - Never a bad time for Monty Python!
Basically ALL of Rogue - it's got it all: memes, Castlevania, MULTIPLE stabbings!
Shattered Rumbler - OMG Lonely Island reference! Go watch Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping if you liked This is Spinal Tap - it's just as good
Vivid Spores - Heh, drugs.
Felfin Navigator - WITNESSED, SHINY AND CHROME
New Warlock Minion - Darkglare

New Rogue Minion - Ashtongue Slayer

New Neutral Minion - Burrowing Scorpid
Note: This can go Face, and is a Beast. I expect to see this pop up in Hunter.
New Warlock Spell - Hand of Gul'dan
Helpful for drawing a lot of cards. Maybe this will let zoo-lock go fast enough to run Chef Nomi?
New Neutral Minion - Felfin Navigator
That is really good for Murlocs for several reasons.
a) it's allows you to keep pushing the advantage, which is very important for that tribe
b) it synergizes well with Scargil, which makes Murloc Shaman very formidable
c) it's a 4/4 Murloc which is great to get as a random summon from the Paladin Prime (as well as being a decent pull from Tip the Scales)
I mean, even if you just hit a single Murloc this is good enough.
New Rogue Minion - Spymistress
1 mana 1/3's are so 2019. 3/1's in 2020!
New Shaman Spell - Serpentshrine Portal
This will see play in every shaman deck. Amazing card.
New Priest Minion - Skeletal Dragon
But... Forbidden Words
New Warlock Minion - Kanrethad Ebonlocke
Bloodreaver Gul'dan has been roborn. This will definatly see play in wild. Cubelock will love it. In standard i'm curious at best, it will be a nice reload tho.
New Rogue Minion - Ashtongue Slayer
Look at those hands. What a great art !
I really loved how artists handle with this expansion. Almost all cards have great arts.
After I played a lot of Legends of Runeterra, I really hope that someday Blizzard adds viewable fullscreen arts in-game. Those arts desires more than little images.
New Neutral Minion - Rustsworn Cultist
Eh, Soul of the Murloc on a stick seems a bit redundant.
Pretty much every token deck already has a better version of this and the ones that don't probably won't need this.
Maybe DH will want it for their token decks
New Priest Minion - Skeletal Dragon
I'm glad to see more Dragon stuff coming out. I feared there wasn't going to be a new Dragon for a while after DoD.
New Neutral Minion - Disguised Wanderer
I've seen that revenant kobold card, I don't think it will see play, but that's a huge attack.
New Warlock Minion - Nightshade Matron
Discardlock is known to well.... Suck. There i said it. i don't have that much hope for the card, but i'm keeping an eye on it. Might become a sleeper.
New Neutral Minion - Terrorguard Escapee
More Anti Res Priest, which is neat. Maybe there is some Sea Giant cheese that this could be involved in?
Why there is no dormant minions on rogue and shaman?
I don't believe they ever stated that every class would get one. Neither Shaman or Rogue has one - Shaman I can't really say why, but Rogue certainly has a nice split of 5 Secret cards and 5 Stealth cards, so maybe they just didn't feel one fit.
New Rogue Spell - Bamboozle
Thief Rogue stole this off a Shaman
New Neutral Minion - Burrowing Scorpid
not just in arena i guess. In stealth rogue, this might be good with Backstab.
New Neutral Minion - Soulbound Ashtongue
good for zoo lock, but i don't think any other deck likes it?
