New Shaman Minion - Earth Revenant

Its an elemental and its a decent minion with a nice 1 damage AoE. Its not the AoE that's really making it for this card, its the fact that its an elemental that curves into [card]lilypad lurker[/card] and a decent …

New Shaman Minion - Lilypad Lurker

If you can get the elemental train going reliably, this is basically [card]vilespine slayer[/card].

Tempo shaman? Perhaps, its not entirely out of the question. Shaman can gain and keep board quite well, and there are tools available for midrange …

New Rogue Spell - Wicked Stab (Rank 1)

Evisecrate may be gone. But it seems like team5 just couldn't let go and made its replacement right back.

In many ways its a nerfed evisc. But even at 3 damage for 2, that's still okay by my book.

New Rogue Spell - Silverleaf Poison

Most of the time this is just going to draw you 2 cards. And for 2 mana, that's fine honestly.

The fact that its a poison means you can get it off helbrim, so there's that too I guess. …

New Rogue Minion - Field Contact

I want to like this. But unless you're literally trying to draw your whole deck this is just useless in a class that already has [card]secret passage[/card] and [card]swindle[/card].

Its bad now, but I wouldn't count it out with …

New Priest Spell - Devouring Plague

 The fact that it hits only enemy minions is the real power here.

A bit expensive, but it is a removal option and there being so few of them means this will see some sort of play.

New Priest Spell - Power Word: Fortitude

If you have at least 4 spells, this is decent.

But its true potential is a massive veilweaver turn when getting lots of spells in hand is not uncommon. Its fairly easy enough to make one really big veilweaver …

New Priest Minion - Soothsayer's Caravan

I was excited when I saw this card. Then I read 'start of your turn' and instantly this went from 4 stars to 2. 1 star for the fact that it will never survive consistently enough for you to get …

New Priest Minion - Void Flayer

[card]cobalt spellkin[/card] is gone, so that's one engine dead.

If you can get [card]sethekk veilweaver[/card] up and going then this card can actually clear boards. But by then I guess you're already going to win anyway.

I can't …

New Paladin Minion - Knight of Anointment

It draws cards. And pally can barely draw now that [card]salhet's pride[/card] is gone.

So its certainly going to see play if nothing more than the fact that its a 1 mana draw option.

New Paladin Spell - Galloping Savior

Its not bad because;

- Its a secret that is not easily triggered and hence support cards like [card]cannonmaster smythe[/card] and [card]sunreaver spy[/card] on curve

- Against certain decks its basically a 1 mana 3/4 that will come …

New Paladin Minion - Soldier's Caravan

Bad. Because unless you coin it out on 1, its always going to just die in most cases.

Fact is that paladin can barely draw anything now, so all their cards must count. The payoff isn't really that great …

Hearthstone Forged in the Barrens Final Card Reveal Stream Live Recap - All New Cards

I didn't actually got the chance to watch it but I can see now I have to, because usually after these final reveal stream, all I get is just bile from the community. The fact that there isn't any now …

New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot

Just a random mech to come out of nowhere for rogue. And a good one too. At 4 health, its nearly impossible to deny value without wasting something from hand, and even if not, you can do it yourself with …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Upcoming Nitroboost Nerf

It had to happen, because [card]apothecary helbrim[/card] and [card]efficient octo-bot[/card] would be unbearable otherwise.

I don't think this is the end of this card, but rogues will certainly find it harder to corrupt it now.

Blizzard Reveals the Two New Core Card Replacements - Emerald Skytalon & Redgill Razorjaw

I must be color blind, because that [card]redgill razorjaw[/card] is not red to me. Perhaps its because lorewise murlocs can't actually see red.

New Mage Spell - Runed Orb

It does something definite and gives you an option for a better turn later.

The only downside to this card is that puzzlebox would be rotating. But otherwise its flexibility will allow it to see play in many mage …

New Mage Spell - Oasis Ally

Its a good card for a tempo based secret mage.

They will be losing [card]ancient mysteries[/card] and [card]arcane flakmage[/card], but this makes up for it...only slightly. Against aggro decks, it may be just lights out.

New Mage Minion - Rimetongue

Its not bad, I grant you, but probably too ordinary to ever see real inclusion in anything other than highlander mage.

There's only like a few frost spells in standard worth considering anyway. [card]Flurry (rank 1)[/card] is a good …

New Mage Spell - Refreshing Spring Water

In no minion mage this is just crazy. In all else, its basically just a worse [card]arcane intellect[/card] most of the time.

[card]Cram session[/card] is still the better card for a minion based mage.
