5 New Warlock Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by DCUniverse

Note that the Warlock theming and mechanics flow pretty well together: undead and discard are playing nice. Compare that to Shaman and undead where the old contradiction (transform versus enchant) was unaddressed. I'll grant Blizz a point for getting Warlock …

4 New Shaman Cards, Including a Legendary, Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by Tesdey

Not only will this flavor never be a part of Shaman again, it directly contradicts an existing Shaman archetype and makes no attempt to harmonize the two. (Transformations do not play nice with enchantments.) This is typical of Shaman and …

7 More Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by /r/hearthstone Discord

Priest and Death Knight -- especially the latter -- will share the most obnoxious spite deck ever in Standard. Everyone not running the most obnoxious neutrals in the game (Theotar/Denathrius) can look forward to getting far worse than they deserve.

7 New Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by /r/hearthstone Discord

[card]Flesh Behemoth[/card] gives you tempo when you don't need it. Even if there were a negative battlecry worth avoiding in current-year Hearthstone, it wouldn't be worth dodging on turn nine. This can become worthwhile value in Arena alone.

[card]Infectious …

Bonelord Frostwhisper is a New Legendary Neutral Minion Revealed by NGA for March of the Lich King

The most wholesome use of this card will be to replace [card]Majordomo Executus[/card] in lolgimmick decks. So you'll get a chuckle when Mark does it.

Your only other emotions associated with this card will be sad.

This will …

4 New Unholy Death Knight Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King & Associated Sets

[card]Ymirjar Deathbringer[/card] makes me think that the build challenge for unholy will be trying to get your non-payoff, corpse-setup minions into play and dead before your payoff minions hit.

Unholy looks like an aggro-counter that plays like aggro itself. …

Blizzard Commits to Improving Blind and Visually Impaired Accessibility in Hearthstone

[card]Rimefang Sword[/card] and [card]Deathchiller[/card] combo naturally with one another, giving you functionality like that of [card]Wild Pyromancer[/card] when the enemy board is full and face damage when it's not.

"Better Paladin" seems to be a reoccuring theme with Death …

Hallow's End Patch Has Brought Back Dual-Class Drafts and Vintage Set Rotation to Hearthstone Arena, Just Not Without Its Own Issues

I already use HearthArena, personally, but that's good advice for others.

My problem wasn't a skill issue. My problem is that sometimes you draft a completely-unwinnable setup (oh, look, no spells offered and two minion selections where the minions …

Hallow's End Patch Has Brought Back Dual-Class Drafts and Vintage Set Rotation to Hearthstone Arena, Just Not Without Its Own Issues

I literally started a run to avoid this problem and, as it turned out, it was the first non-autoloss arena draft that I had drafted in a year-plus. Not a super-broken list -- I don't know if the previous …
