  • Kripparrian Hosting the Final Card Reveal Stream for Descent of Dragons

    I like Kripp, I really do.

    But you have an expansion called Descent of Dragons and you're not calling Kibler?

  • Hunter Weapon Reveal - Stormhammer

    Not a lot of analysis going on over here aside from 'hunter wat'.

    For what it's worth: skeptical that it'll see play. Eaglehorn Bow already does the same thing but better, in any deck that isn't specifically dragon-centric. And as we've surely discussed to death by now, competently-built dragon decks have not historically contained all that many dragons, relatively speaking.

    I think it's also worth noting, just as a point of interest more than anything, that this card is fundamentally anti-synergistic with a lot of dragon cards' effects. It's very common for them to be activated by holding another dragon in hand; this card is activated by having a dragon on the board. If you run this card in a dragon deck, it probably won't be particularly rare for you to have to choose between keeping this weapon in play and keeping a dragon in hand to activate your topdeck.

  • New Card Reveal - Platebreaker (ARMOR DESTRUCTION)

    Thekal is fucking dead. Idk why they would print this when it is in standard seems counter productive to me.

     

    As for the card itself I was never one of the people asking for this kind of effect because it fucks with the balance of the game. Super armor druid isnt in standard anymore with malfurion oaken summons, and all that shit. Same for baku or justicar true heart. This is a counter to thekal mainly in standard now currently and that's basically it.

    If you are excited about this card sorry to point this out for you like telling a child there is no Santa Claus aggro is supposed to run out of steam and lose to control. The ability for a warrior to gain enough armor or even a druid or paladin in recent cases, to survive is not something abnormal or to be discouraged. I know the majority of people that play this game play only ladder on mobile and hate having games that last more than 3 minutes long so they dont understand what it means to outlast your opponent or probably dont even want to, but it feels damn good.

     

    This card doesn't feel for the game in the long run. You may think it's a good addition now, but this shit's on a lot of what makes me enjoy hearthstone, and the fact it just takes the amor away, no downside no loss of tempo or lacking of stats to punish the player just feels like they didnt even care about trying to balance it for both sides of the coin, the aggro player and the control player.

  • New Warrior Minion - EVIL Quartermaster

    A nice card for warriors, not broken but it does enough things to see play, maybe even in all warrior decks but a pure aggressive one

  • Kripparrian Hosting the Final Card Reveal Stream for Descent of Dragons

    I like Kripp, I think this Will be fun yo watch

  • Kripparrian Hosting the Final Card Reveal Stream for Descent of Dragons

    Pretty sure Kripp will provide that himself. 

  • Platebreaker

    FINALLY!!!!!!

  • New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin

    This card is super interesting! 

    In mage the 1 cost spells in standard are pretty good, highlander mage was waiting for another strong dragon to run to reach a good amount of them, with this card they finally reach this goal. They can run New Maly, old Alex, New Alex, Kalecgos and this one. If they find that activating Maly is still a bit unreliable they can add the 2/3 dragon and/or twilight drake.

    Another class that has good 1 mana spells is warrior, so it fits there, especially because warriors can play a control dragon deck and this can give you removals or lackeys or the omega card. 

    The only downside of this card, which seems to be a common theme of these dragon decks, is that is not a card that threat your opponent in anyway it just generate value. So i can see this card being a 1 of in decks that will run 7-8 dragons

  • New Card Reveal - Platebreaker (ARMOR DESTRUCTION)

    Better late than never, i suppose. This card is something the game was in dire need last year when Odd Warrior was around and Druids stalled very easily through armor gain. Right now, i doubt this will see meaningful play in standard as the heavy armor gain decks are gone. This will help aggro decks against Control Warrior but that's it. But it's good to have something like this available in case we need it. Wild appreciates it because it shuts down some really ridiculous stuff (like the BEEEES!!! + Linecracker + Earthen Scales combo). High Priest Thekal suffers a major hit from this card's addition to the game as well. It's also good that Warrior has the ability to play a tempo deck now because this card would kill the class if it's only viable strategy was stall + remove + armor gain. Last year, it would be dead for sure.

    Edit: Just complementing my thoughts on this card. The main problem with it is how Warrior was designed around armor as a class. The Warrior hero power does nothing other than give a little bit of armor. It doesn't impact the board in any way and it doesn't progress you towards winning the game (like Hunter). To compensate for this, they created armor synergy cards for the class. Cards that take that number (armor amount) and do X thing with it. This new tech card is capable of nullifying completely the hero power and all its synergy cards instantly. Warrior doesn't just lose X amount of health. They lose the ability to use many of its class specific cards that are meant to compensate for the weak hero power. That's really bad. Whether or not this kills the class, it certainly targets and hurts it much, much more than any other class in the game. That's not a really fair thing, i'd say.

    They'd better stock up on salt then. 

  • Cobalt Spellkin

    You can use this to try and grab a quest or - better? - sub quest late in the game.

  • Platebreaker

    No f... way, they did it. The mad lads finally made it

  • New Hunter Weapon - Stormhammer

    Really good but will not play any different than [Hearthstone Card (Eaglehorn Bow) Not Found] for dragons instead of secrets. We will see which one will be the chosen one.

  • New Priest Minion - Mindflayer Kaahrj

    I would say it's OK, but compared to the rest of the set is underwhelming. I hope I don't get this in my packs

  • New Priest Minion - Chronobreaker

    With this card dragon priest seems pretty pretty strong. Even without taunt I see this being played. Not great though

  • New Paladin Minion - Bronze Explorer

    Dragon that discovers a dragon is 5 stars for me. On top of that it's cheap and has a good buffable effect.

  • New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin

    The type of card that has a ton of potential but I just don't see it at first glance. I guess it will be better in classes with smaller 1 mana cost spells pool. In the end it may just be spell fodder for mage

  • New Warrior Minion - EVIL Quartermaster

    Ehm, not bad not great. A bit understated but lackeys are generally good in early and late game. Gave 3 stars but not sure about it

  • New Neutral Minion - Platebreaker (Armor Destruction)

    After all this time I was sure they would never print this card. But here we are... :)

  • New Neutral Minion - Tentacled Menace

    Could be good in decks control decks against agro decks. In general I'm all for combo disruption cards.

  • New Neutral Minion - Depth Charge

    Some people suggested this to be a good priest card since they can easily keep it alive and continue causing big trouble to aggro decks. Like it!

  • New Card Reveal - Platebreaker (ARMOR DESTRUCTION)

    Well armor based warrior is dead... 

    The minion even has decent stats, you can play this in any deck that has room for it and worse case scenario is a 5/5 for 5 for raw board pressure.

  • Descent of Dragons

    Will there be a final reveal stream?

  • New Neutral Minion - Frizz Kindleroost

    This is like a second prince keleseth. Extremely broken if you can play it on curve :(
