Patch 28.6.2 Launches Today With Changes To Standard And Battlegrounds

One of the weirdest buff patches Ive seen in a while.

Isnt most of those cards that are being buffed rotating away from standard in less than a month? Whats the overall plan here?

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 3 Hearthstone Card Reveals - February 21

Alright, its a hero card so it must be busted as hell. Certainly at 6 mana, remove one minion, and then having a hp that deals 3 damage. What more can you ask for?

Well, having a perfectly reasonable card …

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 2 Hearthstone Card Reveals - February 20

Its definitely one of those cards that can only be judged after playtesting. But from my own impression, it really looks like something that simply cannot be relied on.

So your opponent has two big minions + several smaller …

All Whizbang's Workshop Day 2 Hearthstone Card Reveals - February 20

Is there no more individual card postings in the forum anymore?

 

But the card itself? Well, its fine. Im almost certain this card will see play, and in fact it wouldnt surprise me if all mage archetypes …

Standard and Battlegrounds Changes Announced For Patch 28.6.2 This Thursday

Because brann warrior is not very good.

Sure theres always a chance they trigger brann early but then that's obscuring the fact that most games they dont. And if you face DK then that's usually about it for your …

Patch 28.6 Launches - Preorders Open For Whizbang's Workshop, Several Battlegrounds Changes, Log In Now For New Cards

Having preorder provide an exclusive card, even if on a limited timeframe, is just a poor move in my opinion.

The game itself is already going on a downtrend as it is. If ever these limited cards be part …

Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary Login Rewards Have Been Revealed

Have to say, that a lot of these gifts are just plain bad and its hard for me to imagine them seeing any competitive play outside of highlander.

Nowadays hearthstone tends to be so fast that spending 1 extra …

New Shaman Minion - Needlerock Totem

RIP [card]mana tide totem[/card]

Yes, its basically powercreeping so hard that manatide totem would be nothing more than a meme.

However, this card would likely still never see play because why would it? Drawing a card and gaining …

New Paladin Spell - Shroomscavate

The only card from paladin/shaman related to excavate that's good, and that includes the payoff.

Because this card would find itself into any aggro-based deck never mind the excavate effect, which is a neat bonus. You'd probably try to …

New Shaman Spell - Digging Straight Down

Just a terrible card. But in the end, youre probably forced to play it regardless if you aim to play excavate in shaman, not that Im all that optimistic about that prospect outside of highlander, because if I have to …

New Warrior Spell - Aftershocks

Its gonna see play, but it'll never realistically be a good card that can carry a class the same way cards like [card]bellowing flames[/card] can

As it stands, even [card]immolation aura[/card] sees no play in dhunter even when they …

New Paladin Minion - Fossilized Kaleidosaur

Would have been better if it has rush/taunt, would be better if it was discover a bonus effect.

Instead what we have here is a card thats only really playable should you somehow choose to play excavate cards in …

New Paladin Minion - Sir Finley, the Intrepid

Its playable in shaman because shaman doesnt really have lots of removal options that basically nuke the opponent's board regardless of conditions. In pally however, its a hit and miss simply because I cant see a world where paladin plays …

New Hunter Spell - Shimmer Shot

Its relevant in the current iteration of spell damage hunter but once all those cards rotate, this card would probably be dead.

On its own its just too weak, almost comparable to [card]on the hunt[/card]. Even [card]wound prey[/card] is …

New Death Knight Spell - Mining Casualties

Probably a very strong card in pally, but just meh in DK.

Paladin needs early game, and this is suitably sticky and comes with added rush support. DK would only ever contemplate this card for corpses, because [card]crop rotation[/card] …

New Death Knight Weapon - Quartzite Crusher

I like it because it freezes and it heals. And the fact is that it reads damaged by your hero so theres an off chance it actually works with spells as well.

But of course, team5 had to ruin …

New Mage Minion - Mantle Shaper

Its actually funny to me how a zero mana 5/5 these days can be considered unviable but there it is.

The card is actually very powerful, because of course it is, its practically zero mana in any turn above …

New Hunter Minion - Obsidian Revenant

Its gonna see play if only because its a sticky minion that cant be ignored, has taunt, and is almost more annoying dead than alive.

And if somehow this card sticks on board, you can then cast something like …

New Hunter Spell - Mismatched Fossils

Generic and almost never gonna be played in competitive.

Cant even recommend as a discover option. The only way this card is ever gonna be relevant is a smaller pool, and in arena. Outside of that, no reason whatsoever …

New Mage Spell - Summoning Ward

Ive no idea what build this will inspire but Im almost 90% sure this card would get nerfed.

Mage and priest are the only real classes in hearthstone that can justify having low tempo for the early game so …
