Should Hearthstone's Heroes Have More Than 30 Health?

Boost the health and then team5 has to now design cards around it and inevitably the same result will come off.

Renathal was the first true exception whereby additional health are granted on an optional basis and we already …

All Showdown in the Badlands Day 9 Hearthstone Card Reveals - October 27

Far as I know [card]mortal coil[/card] is that card you put in your deck because you dont have other cards to put in.

Its not that great these days. You'd be better off playing [card]tour guide[/card] 90% of the …

New Hunter Spell - Sneaky Snakes

The stealth is really what makes this card good.

Only downside is that its contending the same position as [card]awakening tremors[/card], which is better against control. But I would still say its a more optimal card in most situations.

New Hunter Minion - Silver Serpent

Its mostly a good card off random generation/discovers. On its own its kinda weak, very matchup dependent. There's simply no reason for hunter to tech in single removal unless the meta turns to turn 4 giants again.

But of …

New Hunter Spell - Saddle Up!

Its basically a better [card]soul of the forest[/card] for hunter, and that might be relevant because hunter can surprisingly build up a wide board fairly often, the problem usually is that nobody respects it because there's simply no way for …

New Hunter Minion - Spurfang

I have no idea why this card costs 5.

When you think about it, how often it is that hunter's hand-related tactics ever worked in standard? From [card]big dreams[/card] to [card]hunting party[/card], every one of them are good on …

New Shaman Minion - Cactus Cutter

It might actually be unironically be one of shaman's best cards this expansion, not even the famed [card]doctor holli'dae[/card], because unlike that card this one I can imagine being in most if not all shaman decks.

Forget the buff. …

New Shaman Spell - Amphibious Elixir

A so-so card that will only be played in highlander.

Discovering spells is good, but for 2 mana with no further discounts and only healing your face for 5, that's kinda weak. If you think about it, you'll almost …

New Shaman Spell - Giant Tumbleweed!!!

Its a decent card, kinda the stuff you put into highlander because you really need to stuff 30 cards into a deck. Its not mind boggling good, or just never played, but somewhere right in the middle.

I'd say …

New Shaman Spell - Trusty Companion

This card is great, comparable to [card]hand of a'dal[/card] 90% of the time. Shaman tends to play tribal minions the most, and anyone who puts this card into their deck will likely have built around it.

So you get …

New Shaman Minion - Doctor Holli'dae

The card is strong, but its tied to highlander which severely limits its viability. Basically, when it comes to highlander Ive always thought shaman does the worse in, because so many of their cards either work synergistically or situationally.

New Shaman Minion - Minecart Cruiser

Team5 printed this solely to encourage players to play midrange elemental shaman, and also because we can already see the problem with that archetype: It gets destroyed by aggro.

This card plugs one of the few holes in that …

New Shaman Minion - Walking Mountain

This card should by right never see play.

But again, you need to respect the lifesteal and this card has all the elements required to be good as a high cost card. Rush, lifesteal, and windfury.

Probably only …

New Shaman Minion - Skarr, the Catastrophe

Payoff for playing midrange elemental is good, because this card is excellent.

As to whether it can carry the whole archetype that's another question entirely. Because we can already see the main issue with this payoff. You need to …

New Death Knight Spell - Fistful of Corpses

Here's the thing. There's already a BUU plague DK that's doing decently well.

That deck needs removal options and this is one such. So it'll see play.

Not too happy that its a multirune card, but admitably even …

New Death Knight Minion - Farm Hand

Its simple to judge a card like this.

Discover effects are good in DK. Hence, this card will see play. Its really that simple. Even if you dont trigger the quickdraw its gonna give you a chance at getting …

New Death Knight Minion - Pile of Bones

Decently strong car...wait, its a fucking multirune card.

FFS team5, why.

Its more or less established that the frost excavate DK would be something for DK to do next expansion, so why'd you put an unholy rune requirement …

New Death Knight Spell - Crop Rotation

There's two things of note with this card.

- It generates 4 corpses for 3 mana, which is useful and sometimes crucial. The 4 tokens itself counts as removal, something unholy doesnt necessary always have.

- It has …

New Death Knight Minion - Skeleton Crew

It'll see play, but its effect make it necessary for you to excavate up till tier 2 and then pray you can drop this down for a 0 mana card at tier 3.

Its not always easy or consistent, …

New Death Knight Spell - Corpse Farm

Its a card specifically designed to amp up [card]climactic necrotic explosion[/card].

Rather astounding that its a single rune card considering that it'll never see play in a UUU deck. Even at best it'll appear in rainbow DK simply to …
