Shadow Word: Devour is a New Priest Card Revealed by Online-Station for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Before anyone gets ideas, no this will never ever make [card]lightspawn[/card] meta.

Its a nice discover card or you'd get this from [card]wandmaker[/card] with a smile. But as a clear option it's not necessarily the best thing in the …

New Paladin Minion - Saidan the Scarlet

Despite the obvious power this card has, its a relatively mundane card that will likely remove one minion and then get removed itself, because there's no reason to believe it'll ever stick for more than the turn its played.

Saidan the Scarlet is a New Legendary Paladin Hearthstone Card Revealed by WalkTone for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Looks good, but I think the rush saves it, without which this card is just awkwardly full of potential but will never bring results.

It can slot into libram pally and handbuff, simply because both archetypes suffer from initiative …

New Shaman Minion - Bearon Gla'shear

Its very similar to [card]kargal battlescar[/card], in that it will summon out a load of stats and is supposedly a finisher.

But like the aforementioned card, it'll likely not see much viability. It'll be played, at very least, courtesy …

New Neutral Minion - Grimtotem Bounty Hunter

The thing is that most decks will play a legendary so this card nearly never loses value as a tech card.

The problem is that most legendaries are good, but may not always be the target you need eliminated. …

New Warlock Spell - Tamsin's Phylactery

Its support for zoolock, and it has a tiny niche of basically prolonging your fatigue with [card]envoy rustwix[/card].

Its also extremely dangerous if there ever was printed a card with a deal damage to enemy hero deathrattle, like leper …

New Warlock Hero - Dreadlich Tamsin

Its support for controlock, which means at some point [card]tickatus[/card] will come back with a vengeance.

Too bad, that despite its obvious power, the real deal of this card is that it draws 3 cards on 6 while dealing …

New Shaman Spell - Snowball Fight!

Its just overpowered. Being able to stall is one thing, killing at least one minion is quite another.

It looks like a control card, but in all honesty, I'll be swinging my [card]doomhammer[/card] shaman on day one because this …

New Rogue Hero - Shadowcrafter Scabbs

The only good thing this card offers is that it essentially board swings in 99% of all games.

But at 7 mana, and the hp being what it is, you're really just banking on the board swing to do …

New Mage Spell - Build a Snowman

Want it to be good, to be meta, but likely it'll never be.

[card]Pyros[/card] was introduced in a much weaker and slower meta and that card never really saw play outside of reno mage. And this card practically apes …

New Druid Minion - Dire Frostwolf

Its just a good minion, but therein lies the problem: its a druid card, and its a beast.

So you can't play [card]guardian animals[/card] with this card in because obviously you dont ever want to draw it out. And …

New Druid Spell - Frostwolf Kennels

This one is a bit weird. Druid never had problems with slow cards, but this card is slow and at the same time is likely only ever considered in a deck that needs to tempo out, given that druid has …

New Druid Spell - Capture Coldtooth Mine

Im on the fence with this one. With intelligent deck building this card just tutors out exactly what you need so its hard to ignore the obvious potential.

But most important druid cards are often around the cost of …

New Druid Minion - Frostsaber Matriarch

Keyword here is summoned, which means it works with [card]glowfly swarm[/card], [card]adorable infestation[/card], and [card]thorngrowth sentries[/card], all of which are featured cards in token druid.

Its decently stated, have taunt, is a beast, and more importantly it supports an …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Caria Felsoul

Its obvious support for big dhunter, but as long as illidari inquisitor is still here, its basically always going to be good.

Outside of the big deck, you can easily build a midrange demon deck with [card]illidari inquisitor[/card] and …

Keeping packs unopened until next expansion?

Better to hold onto packs. The diminishing returns of pack quality and the fact that merc tasks are finite means at some point coins for new mercs would have to come directly from beating the bosses directly. At 10-20 coins …

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Cards for Fractured in Alterac Valley, Including Warlock Hero Card

Its highest and lowest cost card not minion. Not easy to make either both cheapest or most expensive without significant drawbacks

New Demon Hunter Spell - Field of Strife

Its 2 mana to do more damage on board. But its unmistakably support for token dhunter. Play this and at any point of time your tokens will do a good deal of damage, so what's there not to like? Even …

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Cards for Fractured in Alterac Valley, Including Warlock Hero Card

Well, they definitely subverted my expectations that's for sure.

Im not claiming the tamsin-cariel storyline as basically the hearthstone equivalent of schindler's list. But for what's it worth, the progression was good. She had a background, was raised back …

Blizzard Reveals 6 New Cards for Fractured in Alterac Valley, Including Warlock Hero Card

I thought for once team5 grew a massive set of balls and actually pulled an unexpected good storyline in the middle of the three expansion, and have it actually mean something. But as it happens, my expectations were too high.
