Xyrella, the Devout is a New Legendary Priest Hearthstone Card Revealed by Thijs for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Well, its certainly good.

The only problem here would be the battlecry. It'll only ever be good if enough deathrattles died this game, which means you can't just slot this into every priest deck and hope for the best, …

Spring the Trap is a New Hunter Hearthstone Card Revealed by Attrix for Fractured in Alterac Valley

The premise for this card is surely to replicate the success seen by [card]phase stalker[/card], but without the ability to hit face, its unlikely to find a home into most hunter decks unless hunter gets a really aggressive secret somewhere …

New Shaman Minion - Cheaty Snobold

Probably not that great unless there's at least 2 more unrevealed cards that feature freeze and can freeze face. Fact is that if [card]glacial shard[/card] and [card]frost shock[/card] is in standard then this card may be core. But as it …

Cheaty Snobold is a New Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Feelink for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Its scary if you have a bunch of freeze minions on board like the tokens from [card]bearon gla'shear[/card], but otherwise its a fairly dead card in hand. All this leads me to believe that there is at least one more …

Scholomance's Transfer Student Gets an Upgrade in Alterac Valley With the New Honorable Kill Keyword

Nearly forgot that this card actually existed. Which is amazing considering that its likely one of the best 2 tempo 2 drop available, with only small downsides based on rng.

Kinda shows how far we've gone from regular curvestone.

New Priest Minion - Najak Hexxen

On the standpoint of power, this is near the pinaccle

But in terms of practical use in standard/wild. Probably not that great. Or rather to say that its good, but don't expect this to be a meta breaker.

Najak Hexxen is a New Legendary Priest Card Revealed by Kranich for Fractured in Alterac Valley

I swear Ive seen this in like a few community creations already.

But the card is obviously good. Its effectively a 4 mana [card]mind control[/card], and [card]raise dead[/card] being so handy you'll be seeing this minion very often assuming …

Duplicate protection for crafted mercs?

There's no official explanation about this. But from my experience, and from discussions the gist is that each pack slot has a chance to roll a merc, coin, or portrait. One slot will have higher chance to roll mercs more …

New Rogue Minion - Cera'thine Fleetrunner

Its another one of those cards thats specifically designed for fun, which means any rating or review is fairly pointless. I will say though, that if [card]deck of lunacy[/card] can be one of the scariest card in its lifetime, then …

Cera'thine Fleetrunner is a New Rogue Legendary Card Revealed by Blizzard for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Well, there's not really much of a card here to review, because its likely only ever played for memes.

I wonder whether this will yet again repeat the same problems [card]deck of lunacy[/card] brought up next year when the …

Quote From Brandon

I'm weirdly really looking forward to seeing how Cariel will react to Tamsin being Ressed as a lich by Lady Prestor.

Is this a confirmed thing, that tamsin was raised back as …

New Priest Minion - Undying Disciple

Its probably not good in ranked. 3 attack is fine, but past turn 6 most things can survive it and priest isn't really lacking in clear options right now. Even something like [card]hysteria[/card] will easily do better than this card, …

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

It really depends on the meta, and what shaman's win condition is. The main thing about this card is flexibility, not necessarily as a win condition itself. I see it as an inclusion merely because one to one, there really …

Undying Disciple is a New Priest Hearthstone Card Revealed by LastPriest for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Statline isn't good for a 6 drop, but 7 health is still significant. But the main problem to this card is whether priest even needs this as a board clear option when there are clear alternatives like [card]xyrella[/card], [card]hysteria[/card], [card]condemn …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Ur'zul Giant
Quote From Geno9999

...This tracks while it's still in your deck right?

Yes it does. Unless the description reads 'while in your hand' its …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Ur'zul Giant

Its a giant that can be reduced to 0 fairly quickly with stuff like [card]expendable performers[/card].

Not quite [card]corridor creeper[/card], but very close to it, and in my opinion just about as broken. We'll have to see how consistent …

Ur'zul Giant is a New Demon Hunter Hearthstone Card Revealed by Blizzholics for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Just insane with [card]expendable performers[/card]. Looks like team5 is pushing token dhunter quite hard this time round. Let's hope for a few early game token generation to really take advantage of all the cards we've seen so far.

Looking …

New Shaman Hero - Bru'kan of the Elements

The only downside is that you dont get to choose your hp each turn. Otherwise its nearly faultless. At least whatever you get will always be value for 2 mana.

WIll be in every shaman deck until rotation, because …

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Its certainly flexible and strong enough to basically exist in all shaman decks, courtesy of its ability to clear, heal or fireball face on play.

I just cant see much downside to just having this in the deck. The …

New Warrior Spell - Frozen Buckler

I admire the design, but unfortunately its likely not going to see much play because [card]heavy plate[/card] is just better in most cases, if not at least more flexible than this card. This one needs to stop at least 10 …
