New Druid Spell - Scale of Onyxia

Its strong, but you'll never see this outside of a discover effect. Druid has only ever cared about removal insofar as the early game is concerned because they let their minions do the talking in the late game. And in …

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Hearthstone Cards for Onyxia's Lair - Plenty of Spells & A Gear Grubber

At a second look, both you and frosthearth might be right that its a mage card. Since mage got that card that summons dragons I suppose its only logical to give them one they would want to discover out.

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Hearthstone Cards for Onyxia's Lair - Plenty of Spells & A Gear Grubber

Im looking at the color of the banner on the bottom of the card. That's where it indicates its class, and its certainly not a mage card. We can see kazakusan and onyxia being neutrals and mida being a priest …

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Hearthstone Cards for Onyxia's Lair - Plenty of Spells & A Gear Grubber

There's a graphic showing the legendaries;

So we have one dragon left because the other is 100% going to be onyxia. I dont think its wrathion though, and its a rogue card too.

New Neutral Minion - Mi'da, Pure Light

No taunt, no rush, and then it costs 6 - OooErr

Yes it does have lifesteal and divine shield, but played on 6 your opponent can just completely ignore it and go ruin your face. And if they can't …

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Hearthstone Cards for Onyxia's Lair - Plenty of Spells & A Gear Grubber

Well, here we go.

- [card]Scale of onyxia[/card] would only ever be good out of a discover. On its own, the only reason why this isn't straight up trash is because those whelps have rush and druid lacks removal …

Hearthstone Designer Cora Georgiou Shares More Insights on the New Mini-Set Cards - Deathrattle Rogue, Imp Puns & Noggenfogger Memes

Can [card]mayor noggenfogger[/card] actually force an attack to a target that it cannot attack? Far as I know it doesn't work this way, the targets are random but within its limitations. But obviously Ive never actually tried the interaction myself.

New Neutral Minion - Kazakusan

On paper it looks absurd, but its likely only going to be played by one class: druid.

In other classes, the restrictions make it either impracticable or impossible, this being an 8 mana card without taunt or rush. And …

New Warrior Spell - Shoulder Check

I like it only because it has tradeable. Without this, this card is just borderline trash, even in a dedicated minion deck.

Granting a 2/1 buff is good, but as we can see with the nerfed [card]hand of a'dal[/card], …

Our Thoughts on the New Hearthstone Duels Balance Changes - Hero Power Mage Slowed Down

Avalon's assessment that changing the pool would kill the card is not without merit. Why'd you torpedo your deck without having first drawn your win con? Then this card just sticks in hand, doing nothing until you draw all the …

New Warrior Spell - Hit It Very Hard

Probably its just removal, unless team5 prints something to make this a game ending card

At present its just [card]soulbound ashtongue[/card], which will rotate in 2 months, and then there's also the issue: why play this at all? Shield …

New Warlock Spell - Curse of Agony

Its basically bombs for warlock. Used properly this card is just absurd, dealing 21 damage for 2 mana. Combined with tamsin, its game ending damage.

But [card]garrote[/card] it is not. Your opponent can play around this. Just fill your …

New Warlock Spell - Impfestation

Its a situational card, and as such will likely never really see much play outside of discovers.

The main problem is obvious: its 6 mana, you don't get to choose what it attacks, and then its only ever powerful …

New Shaman Spell - Bracing Cold

It heals face, and then grants mana cheat for 2 mana. Really, is there anything else as simple, yet powerful?

Hit [card]dunk tank[/card] with this card's effect and suddenly you're golden. Bolner OTK already plays those [card]armor vendor[/card]s, and …

New Shaman Spell - Spirit Mount

Spell damage is always good in shaman, and here's a sticky minion with that tag.

Probably good in burn shaman, where even one tick of spell damage counts massively. I have high hopes for this card, but deep down …

New Rogue Spell - Smokescreen

Its almost a cruel joke. Rogue has all these cool deathrattle support cards and no real deathrattles to take advantage of.

On its own merits, this card is terrible. The cost is too high and if you're playing this …

New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Smuggler

The only reason why this card is viable at all is because its an SI7 card, of which without it would be the smallest turd floating in the sewers.

Because let's be honest here, you're never really holding this …

New Paladin Minion - Battle Vicar

Currently its not really that good. Or at least I should say it isn't good enough to ram itself into established decks.

Libram pally would be better served just playing those librams in the deck, and if they needed …

New Paladin Minion - Stormwind Avenger

Theoretically this looks good, but honestly its never going to ever reach its full potential.

Play this on 3, your opponent damages it, and the turn after you buff it with noble mount? then it has 4 damage with …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorglaive Sentinel

Its deft support for quest dhunter. You can legit draw your entire deck post reward and just destroy your opponent that way.

But outside of that? Aggro dhunter is about as good as it can get. You can reduce …
