New Demon Hunter Spell - Fel Guardians

The major problem here is that the tokens are only 1/2 bodies with taunt, meaning the are certainly value traded by just about any minion, easily swept by AoE, and can't hide behind a taunt. Its basically a useful anti …

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Spell - Demon Companion

Stupidly enough, its the leokk lookalike that will likely be the best outcome of this card. Whether this sees any play will depend on whether both sides are going token. From the looks of the card set, it seems like …

Hearthstone Scholomance Academy Final Card Reveal Stream Live Recap

Some cards here are absolutely crazy;

[card]wave of apathy[/card] - combos well with priest cards, its basically a freeze effect of a sorts.

[card]mindrender illucia[/card] - yes, if you're thinking of tearing the hairs off your head, this …

Primordial Studies is a New Shaman & Mage Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

you're probably right. Its more of a mage card. But I wouldn't count this one out of shaman yet

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon - Trueaim Crescent

Its likely more gimmicky than it seems. [card]Candleshot[/card] was good because that was a meta without good weapons for hunter, and the immunity actually helps. This one doesn't have immunity and can actually sometimes just destroy your board with inefficient …

Trueaim Crescent is a New Demon Hunter & Hunter Weapon Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Essentially its a removal option that very likely makes positioning more relevant in both classes.

I like the idea, but in most cases, you'd rather have a weapon that can deal with a minion by itself, not count on …

New Mage & Shaman Spell - Primordial Studies

Flexible, powerful, and more importantly, essentially free, since the minion you get will also get a 1 mana discount.

Good all around card that I just can't find reasons for mage to not include. For shaman it might be …

Primordial Studies is a New Shaman & Mage Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

The pool is about 17 minions in standard currently, including 2 eventually-prime legendaries.

Its just a good card. That it gives you a minion makes it all the better. All mage and shaman decks can use this in some …

New Druid & Hunter Spell - Guardian Animals

We have to wait out for all the cards to be revealed before calling this shit. But I'm somewhat reminded of [card]stampeding roar[/card], a much better card which also did not see any play. And that was a time where …

Guardian Animals is a New Hunter & Druid Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Okay, so this one's a interesting card in theory, but unless we see some massive 5 drop beast, there's little to no reason why anyone would want to play this card. At its very best it pulls out [card]tundra rhino[/card] …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Ancient Void Hound

Yes, its a big boy, and yes it does quite a lot of stuff. But ultimately, its still a 9 cost card that doesn't really do much when it enters.

I like the card. But unless something is done …

Ancient Void Hound is a New Demon Hunter Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Very strong card...for arena that is

In constructed, if you ever get to the point where you can get this out and not die, chances are you're facing a deck that can deal with this monstrosity. It feels like …

New Paladin & Warrior Minion - Lord Barov

Its just a very strong card that will see inclusion into most decks since its essentially a removal card, with a deathrattle that can be beneficial under some circumstances.

Cheaper equality, and yet another board clear for warrior. Whats …

Lord Barov is a New Warrior & Paladin Legendary Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Equality on a stick, and if push come to shove you can trade [card]lord barov[/card] for a board clear on the same turn by destroying him yourself.

Fits instantly into decks on both sides, mostly because its just a …

New Druid Minion - Forest Warden Omu

In most cases this would just be a 5/4 for free. Is that good enough? Usually yes, but for druid this is perhaps not what they need.

There's obviously some set up with this card. But I don't think …

New Paladin & Priest Minion - High Abbess Alura

Its surely a build around card, but in the right deck its not possible to ignore how powerful this card can become.

For priest its a little tighter, since priest has better target spells against the opponent. But for …

Forest Warden Omu is a New Druid Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

There's so much potential in this one card. Basically like kun, it pays for itself, provided you still hold on to a spell.

I'm not so bummed out by this card to be honest. In most cases, its a …

High Abbess Alura is a New Paladin & Priest Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Okay, so the effect is a little tricky, but not impossible to build around.

I still rate this as better than it looks. Mostly because its a 3/6 for 4, and if buffs are the game then this is …

Blizzard's Celestalon Talks Demon Hunter, Scholomance Academy, and New Classes in Hearthstone

Well, we more or less could guess that it was shipped out too strong.

But if the idea was to distinguish it from other classes, etc. Then its obvious that it has somewhat failed. So far dhunters plays a …

New Mage & Rogue Spell - Brain Freeze

Decent freeze for 1. Or it does 3 damage for 1. One or the other. Its rare to want both.

But it gives a freeze effect to rogue, and that might just be enough for this to see play.
