Card seems decent at best. Now, if you could force out the Imps without much tempo loss, it becomes great, otherwise, I just don't see it as good enough to warrant a spot in a deck. It's still better in arena though.
I was truggling against the 4th boss but finally made it up to Nefarian only to lose when he had 2 health and only god knows how many bombs in his deck! SMH.
That's an tier 1 board clear for you. Literally a 2-in-1 card that can easily get rid of sticky minions and make cards like Soul of the Forest and Soul of the Murloc less scary.
About the cost, this is Elemental Destruction (the effect is slightly different, but you get the point) + Volcanic Potion, which means that you'll spend four less mana (counting overloaded crystals too) to have the same effect, all in one card.
If there will be a Control Shaman (and I genuinely think this will be the time), this card will come in handy to stabilize against Aggro
Oh god this is so good! It reminds me of the Kazakus potions you'd get from time to time, but you can run two of these in your deck. And you can Haunting Visions to get more!
Control Shaman absolutely incoming, can't wait to craft this up.
Board clear isn't what's holding control shaman back though.
I guess if you are going super late game and have the Archvillan Rafaam you can turn those "worthless" imps into "usefull" Millhouse Manastorms and "usefull" Duskfallen Avianas
Yes I am sry. Maybe I overstated Hagatha's Scheme a bit. But i like the card and it is a great AoE tool. When I overthink my comment, I think you are right, there are much better ones. But 5 mana for 5 to 6 damage in most cases is insane.
This seems awful. None of the existing synergies are actually good.
Plot Twist, Mountain Giant, Warlock Quest and Rafaam works very well with it, so what are you talking about?
Explain to me how drawing useless 1/1's with plot twist is good. Explain to me how this has any synergy with Mountain Giant. Explain to me why you'd purposely add bad cards to your deck for Rafaam instead of just playing good cards. Explain to me why you'd want to add worthless cards to your deck simply to draw more worthless cards for the quest when you could Elek instead.
As we've seen with cards like Prince Malchezaar, adding random legendary cards to your deck is awful. Adding 1/1's is so much worse than adding a random legendary.
This is going to need some crazy synergy to be worth playing.
Impbalming seems solid. Destroy a Minion, gain three (slightly crap) minions that can be used for all sorts of shenanigans later.
Earthquake is bonkers good against Token and sticky Mech Boards but utter overkill against everything else. And also, Twisting Nether is the best AoE in the game. For sure... Maybe...
I would also like to add that the flavour text for Earthquake is going up there amongst my favourites. But I have a soft spot for that song anyway.
you do realize that that this is 7 mana 7 damage. at 7 mana that is better than hagatha's scheme because hagatha's scheme would have to be in your hand since turn 1 for it to be that good.
for 7 mana 7 damage is insane, and it also beast reborn and any other deathrattle junk such as 1/1 microbots, and 2/2 treants.

doesn't kill a board of giants, unplayable.

Control Hakkar Warlock incoming Pog
New Card Reveals - Impbalming & Earthquake
I think the warlock card fits into zoo deck with the 7-8 legendary...

My runs keep sucking. I can barely make it past Baron Geddon.

Edit: hard counters the new Reborn mechanic too
New Shaman Spell - Earthquake
Really useful card against the new keyword reborn and token druid to negate the deathrattle given by Soul of the Forest

Do not underestimate Impbalming
4 mana Destroy A minion is worth putting imps in your deck.
New Shaman Spell - Earthquake
Board clear isn't what's holding control shaman back though.
Nice to have off Haunting Visions I suppose.
New Warlock Spell - Impbalming
Nice hard removal. Additionaly it delays fatigue.

How is this weak?! 4 Mana destroy ANY minion. This is far superior compare to that 4 Mana Walk The Plank and 2 Mana cheaper than Siphon Soul.

Did you just assume my value? /s
By the way, they are the same ones you get after using Sense Demons with no targets in your deck

If you can.. check insta story of playhearthstone.. they have shown it there.. its pretty good. An earthquake comes and then an aftershoc

Not gonna lie. Had to re-read Earthquake's card effect twice to understand it.
E.V.I.L. Fire Fest - How are your runs?
25 minutes with Dr Boom. I had the 3 boombots, wand and then Rafaam.
New Card Reveals - Impbalming & Earthquake
No Reno warlock support 🤔.
New Shaman Spell - Earthquake
keep in mind that we still have yet to see the plague card for shaman, so it looks like shaman will have some amazing board clears this expansion.
