All of Onyxia's Lair New Cards Are Revealed - See All 35 New Cards in Our Dedicated Gallery

Probably ran out of neutral legendary slots. There's usually two neutrals and two class legendaries. I guess they weigh up the pro and cons and decided that both kazakusan and onyxia needed to be neutrals, and leeroy being a class …

All of Onyxia's Lair New Cards Are Revealed - See All 35 New Cards in Our Dedicated Gallery

Most interesting cards of this set to me;

[card]kazakusan[/card], [card]curse of agony[/card], [card]bracing cold[/card], [card]dragonbane shot[/card], [card]mi'da, pure light[/card], [card]razorglaive sentinel[/card], [card]gear grubber[/card]

To be honest, this midset looks weaker and less interesting than the last 3. Maybe …

Meta evolution

Probably plenty of people trying out priest and druid to make [card]kazakusan[/card] work.

I can see ramp druid doing better from this midset, maybe a comeback from quest hunter and control priest as well.

Haleh, Matron Protectorate is a New Legendary Mage Card Revealed by Jia for Onyxia's Lair

I can see lots of people are disappointed by the artwork, but I think its just another case of the pic being too large to fit the card. Pretty sure the full version will redeem it somewhat. I still get …

Blizzard Reveals Raid Boss Onyxia - New Legendary Hearthstone Card for Onyxia's Lair

Perhaps, maybe in a big dragon deck. And assuming that the meta switches to something close to barrens meta.

Its just that 10 mana is quite a lot. There's not many reasons why someone would put this over new …

New Neutral Minion - Raid Boss Onyxia

Its a card for ramp druid, because in nearly everywhere else, I'd much rather just play [card]alexstrasza the life-binder[/card], which comes a turn earlier. 2 turns, if we're counting damage done to face. Immunity is only nice in so far …

Blizzard Reveals Raid Boss Onyxia - New Legendary Hearthstone Card for Onyxia's Lair

The card is fine. Strong, reliable at what it does. Unfortunately, only druids will play it.

The problem is the mana cost, and the fact that it doesn't just win the game for you. Basically its currently a weaker …

New Mage Minion - Haleh, Matron Protectorate

Its a card you play because you want to play this, not because its inherently good on its own. [card]Mozaki, master duelist[/card] does the job a 100 times better and with [card]cram session[/card], it can even reload out of a …

Haleh, Matron Protectorate is a New Legendary Mage Card Revealed by Jia for Onyxia's Lair

Well, that's our payoff for [card]drakefire amulet[/card]. Just discount that amulet, summon two of these and play a bunch of 0 mana spells and completely turn the tide.

Or you can just setup everything the same way and win …

New Neutral Minion - Gear Grubber

Its honestly not that bad to me. Basically if you're playing a slower non-curve deck then this is practically a 4/5 taunt on the cheap. Hell, skip your first turn and your 3rd becomes 1 step stronger.

Of course, …

New Rogue Spell - Tooth of Nefarian

Its not going to make it currently, but there's always a chance this card gets better in post rotation, because this card isn't really too bad as long as you can honor kill something and 3 health isn't exactly rare …

New Priest Spell - Horn of Wrathion

Honestly, its surpassed by [card]insight[/card], whether its to tutor out [card]kazakusan[/card] or other minions.

But in a dedicated dragon deck its fine. Draw a card with a 4 damage removal is strong, though not game ending. And then there's …

New Paladin Spell - Ring of Courage

The fact is that this card can potentially buff something by 8 shouldn't be underestimated. Samuro for example can absolutely wipe the floor clean with naught but two mana extra.

There is however plenty of competition. [card]Noble mount[/card] being …

New Mage Spell - Drakefire Amulet

What else can I say, it sucks.

10 is a lot of mana to ask, and not only can this card potentially whiff, in what world are we living in where discovering two dragons can end games? For 10 …

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 …

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 …
