Blackwater Behemoth is a New Priest Legendary Card in Hearthstone's Voyage to the Sunken City Expansion

Is this the first colossal minion to feature the appendage in front of the minion itself? I wonder if the positioning when summoned will actually reflect that.

Regardless, this minion is not really all that good. It heals you …

Amalgam of the Deep is a New Neutral Card Revealed by Thijs for Voyage to the Sunken City

As you say, there is actually not many dragons left, and we're left assuming that the aspects and cards like [card]brightwing[/card] actually stick in core. But since this card also requires said tribe minion to actually be on board, it …

Amalgam of the Deep is a New Neutral Card Revealed by Thijs for Voyage to the Sunken City

That's true. Im just saying its unfortunate that non-aggro decks usually dont use it, even though its healing, because there's usually more efficient healing cards available.

New Neutral Minion - Amalgam of the Deep

Its only viable in a deck that wants more of a tribe, usually in a deck that features a grand reward for doing so. As such, the only real deck you'll ever see this card exist in is in quest …

Amalgam of the Deep is a New Neutral Card Revealed by Thijs for Voyage to the Sunken City

Unfortunately, throughout its lifetime that's really all it did - being used by aggro. The only other deck that isn't aggro which included this card was shudderwock shaman.

Because if you need defensive healing you're probably better off just …

New Paladin Spell - The Garden's Grace

Probably going to see play if nothing else because it has the potential to be 0 mana. Fact is that even two of these is enough to do 10 damage out of nowhere, and for paladin this is fairly significant, …

Amalgam of the Deep is a New Neutral Card Revealed by Thijs for Voyage to the Sunken City

A nice little addition for quest pirate warrior, being a card that generates more pirates is no bad thing. But it does suffer from the fact that you need first a pirate to stick on board.

Most useful to …

The Garden's Grace is a New Paladin Card Revealed by Myrtle Sarrosa for Voyage to the Sunken City

I guess we should be fortunate that [card]lady liadrin[/card] is rotating, otherwise this card is absolutely nuts.

However, this card has plenty of proving to do, because Im not yet convinced paladin can come close to spending 10 mana …

Nellie, the Great Thresher is a New Legendary Warrior Card Revealed by IGN for Voyage to the Sunken City

Pretty sure WoW lore is big enough to have more than one pirate captain it in so even if warrior gets hooktusk, perhaps rogue will get her kinda evil twin or something. Its likely that rogue would be pirate themed …

New Warrior Minion - Nellie, the Great Thresher

If [card]Mr. smite[/card] didn't exist, this card would be hot garbage. But fortunately, it does, so this card is just a decent 7 drop that demands a silence or it'll likely deal more than 10 damage to your face provided …

Nellie, the Great Thresher is a New Legendary Warrior Card Revealed by IGN for Voyage to the Sunken City

You cant get pirates from other classes, its a discover effect. So only warrior and neutral pirates.

Nellie, the Great Thresher is a New Legendary Warrior Card Revealed by IGN for Voyage to the Sunken City

Before anyone start holding up their torches and pitchforks, this is not quest pirate warrior support. Its far too costly, is a beast, and there's no obvious way warrior can kill the ship themselves so it's wide open for silences, …

New Warlock Minion - Gigafin

Its an instant board swing that comes with tremendous stats on its own, even if it doesn't gain the stats of what is eats. There is a downside in that your opponent can potentially get their minions back if they …

New Mage Minion - Gaia, the Techtonic

Its obviously compares badly with modresh, but it does have one thing going for it: if you can consistently flood the board with mechs, this is just a finisher that has no other requirement other than drawing and playing it, …

New Druid Spell - Miracle Growth

Its going to be played simply because its the only thing druid has for a draw engine so far down the reveals. If there's nothing else, then they really are just clutching at straws, praying that the core set gives …

New Druid Minion - Hedra the Heretic

Its really just a different [card]exotic mountseller[/card], and that's putting it charitably. The problem is that unless you're running massive spells, this card would likely end up giving you 0-2 drops most of the time, and even then it might …

Miracle Growth is a New Druid Card Revealed by Blizzholics for Voyage to the Sunken City

It really costs way too much, but druids may not really have much of a choice, given that most of their draw power are rotating. Which also brings us to another problem, which is that druids' draw power are rotating, …

Hedra the Heretic is a New Druid Legendary Card Revealed by Gamespot for Voyage to the Sunken City

The question to ask is whether the minions summoned would come down in the order of the spell's cost. If yes, then this card has the potential of being screwed by druid's tons of cheap spells clogging the pool.

Gaia, the Techtonic is a New Mage Legendary Card Revealed by Automaton Media for Voyage to the Sunken City

Anything. Anything that pushes that degraded archetype out of standard at least is a major plus in my books.

I'm all in favor of giving mage all the most OP mechs in the world, just as long as they …
