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 …

New Death Knight Minion - Maw and Paw

Could have been better, but to me its shit.

The first major issue is that its a multi rune card and so by default can only fit into 1-2 decks at best. Baffling, when you consider that what it …

New Death Knight Minion - Reska, the Pit Boss

Alright heres the thing. I rate this card 4 stars, but then that nasty little frost rune gone and ruin everything and my final rating would be a 3. And that's being generous.

There's really nothing wrong with the …

All Showdown in the Badlands Day 6 Hearthstone Card Reveals - October 24

Oh dear, DK is going multi rune again.

Will it work this time? BUU plague DK might make something, but thus far from what Im seeing its not looking good. They need an AoE option. Pray that they do …

Hearthstone Balance Patch Coming Thursday - Tony, Yogg-Saron & The Jailer Redesigned

Was there even a control priest back then that played benedictus at all? All priest post KotFT was pretty much raza priest, the only time Ive ever seen it in competitive is literally as a meme.

Maybe Im misremembering …

Fact is, if you could do this effectively and consistently, wouldn't you rather just be playing [card]heartbreaker hedanis[/card] instead?

New Priest Spell - Holy Springwater

Its a card you'll hate and hate alot to see when facing priest.

Bad enough that control priest is a pain in the arse to deal with, now youre giving them flexible healing options that heal for a ton, …
