Would be great except for the fact that it's a godawful draw as seen on stream....and they didn't give Priest any card draw whatsoever, meaning that you can'T afford to run dead draws.
don't forget they're rotating out priest's main source of card draw Northshire Cleric
A bit on the fence on this. It makes ramping a lot better since you can recover the tempo even without mana, but 7-mana is pretty big goal to reach.
I can't see this being used in Quest Druid just simply because they have better options, but who says Quest Druid will be the only slow druid strategy forever?
The standard 4 mana deal 3 dmg, like Flanking Strike and Baited Arrow. (And the replacement of the former) Will definitely see play. Also handbuffs are scary with hunter, because of that new hunter legendary that summon 3 beast from your hand. This will maybe make in OTK deck....
I hope this card has also a nice golden animation. I like it a lot. Better than those random potions priest got back in the days (was it in KotFT?) and one of it could buff, the other life steal - this is like guaranteed effect.
Pretty low impact, the most thing I love about this card is that you just have to pay 1 mana. Only downside is which deck you will add this card in it? Priest has received a big overhaul too, so I will wait and see how priest works before judging this minion.
Of course, most dormant minions are bad too anyways, I still have hope in them!
Pretty sure that everyone that saw the stream knows how busted this card is. That was just absurdly powerful. Countering this will be HARD, like really? Just pray your opponent for some reason plays a minion they don't want to copy?
Feels like a win more card btw. Too expensive for token decks (and kind of pointless in comparison with Soul of the Murlocs), but I wouldn't mind picking it from random discoveries (via lackeys for instance)
So I'll keep this brief, apart from malygos and some hunter shenanigans there doesn't seem to be much combo. I mean cards like mecca cthun or hakkar. And still not really seeing a finisher for control paladin or is it just me. Your thoughts would be welcomed.
Nice. I liked Rat pack, but it was kinda easy to play around. This one is suitable replacement. Too bad it will get poped almost immediately, so you won't have it for activation of secret synergies :( .
Hearthstone isn't entirely a game decided by RNG, or else the same pros wouldn't be able to consistently top. There is a heavy dose of RNG in the game, but that's what blizzard was going for, as they were able to do that in the digital card space. The RNG keeps the game fresh and exciting each time you play and learning to manage the RNG, and being able to play to your best outs through all the RNG, is one of the most interesting facets of Hearthstone imo, and one of the skills that sets the pros apart.
Interesting Libram, the issue of the cost can be solved with the synergy cards.
I cant say for sure how good is a 8/8 divine shield taunt, but it will be usually very good.
Your opponent either wastes resources on this, leaving an opening for good effect cards to be played with no answer, or he doesnt waste resources on this and has to deal with this troublesome minion by trading. Either way, it will cause some problems for him.
One thing of note is that a card could only complete one square. So, while Overconfident Orc could've also counted for "Silverback Family Reunion", we chose this space instead. This way, you get another Bingo.
The only other square to follow this trait is "So Much For This Rotating" where Kayn Sunfury could've counted there.
Great card. Play this turn 1, Turn 2 heal or other card, This wakes up right when you need it and the opponent probably starts to get a board. Just overall a good card that might look bad.
New Priest Spell - Psyche Split
Oh this can target opponents minion as well. Might see some play.
Pit Commander
Yea interesting card, but how many DH or Neutral demons are there that you want to summon without activating their effects.
Given I dont know if dormant ones get summoned as dormant, I dont think theres (currently) much use for this in DH.
If it was a warlock card tho..

New Priest Minion - Skeletal Dragon
Very good and another fantastic minion for the Alexstraza pool. :)

New Priest Spell - Apotheosis
I like it. Really shows how priest becoming more about and life steal. Good card, and will probably see a bunch of play.
New Hunter Minion - Helboar
Springpaw Replacement although not nearly as versatile. Will have to do for now though.
New Neutral Minion - Felfin Navigator
Really looking forward to adding this card to my wild murloc shaman deck :)
New Warrior Spell - Bladestorm
Bouncing Blade was less predictable. This is quite a lot better than that (most of the time), and I wouldn't call it a reprint.

New Priest Spell - Apotheosis
Lovely name, Lovely art, Lovely card.
This might be my favorite priest card for next 2 years.
New Shaman Spell - Vivid Spores
Are those Mushroom people getting high?
Feels like a win more card btw. Too expensive for token decks (and kind of pointless in comparison with Soul of the Murlocs), but I wouldn't mind picking it from random discoveries (via lackeys for instance)
Maybe some slower evolve decks could run this?
So....... Umm where has combo gone

All Card Flavor Text for the Ashes of Outland Hearthstone Expansions
Yep. Pretty much Castlevania Rip-off. I'm having a blast. LMAO.
New Shaman Spell - Totemic Reflection
The Obligatory Totem support that never leads into anything.
Hey, at least it's not Totem Cruncher.
Could be pretty powerful with Manatide, but that's way too expensive of a combo to be used right now.
If only Amalgam was still around, this could have been more useful
New Priest Minion - Dragonmaw Sentinel
Dragon priest card. NICE. If only dragon priest was good in standard. Wild players might enjoy it though.
