New Mage Minion - Firebrand

Its [card]goblin blastmage[/card], which was one of the strongest cards back in the day.

Mage never lacks spells, but 3 mana is a lot to give up. In tempo mage, and little else. But it will still be the …

New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver

Just not good enough. Summoning 2 [card]mana wyrm[/card]s is nice, but a little too late.

What makes this less useful is not that the card is necessarily bad, but that its a mage card. And even tempo mages would …

New Hunter Spell - Carrion Studies

Good card that gives value. Except, hunters dont typically need value. If you're running a deathrattle deck, aggro deck, beast deck, whatever, then chances are good you'd have exactly the thing to play on curve and this card messes with …

New Hunter Spell - Overwhelm

Its a solid card, that will see inclusion in most decks that runs beast, which is most hunter decks other than dragon.

So I guess [card]professor slate[/card] is really just too niche now, since this card is effectively the …

New Hunter Minion - Krolusk Barkstripper

Its a decent card for beast hunters. Easily paired with [card]overwhelm[/card] to basically destroy two minions, and for hunter that's a major plus. Even if there's no card to immediately proct the spellburst, its basically a soft taunt on turn …

New Hunter Minion - Bloated Python

its [card]devilsaur egg[/card], and I'm very happy. Been trying to make deathrattle hunter work in standard so this goes straight in it. Better than serpent egg for sure, since hunter doesn't have any way to pop the egg. This one …

New Hunter Minion - Wolpertinger

Maybe lore aficionados can clarify what exactly is this thing. Looks like cat-bird-deer thing that came straight from the last guardian.

Its powercreep on [card]alleycat[/card], and it sports a very powerful effect. Even if it doesnt, alleycat has seen …

New Druid Minion - Gibberling

If you have multiple spells and want to flood your board then this card will be good.

There's a small chance in token druid, but its otherwise just filler material. Had it been a 1/2 at least it would've …

New Druid Spell - Partner Assignment

Its actually not a bad card, practically made for token druid, which unlike the other archetypes, dont run too much card draw or ramp.

Will only gives you beast, means its consistent if nothing else.

New Druid Minion - Twilight Runner

[card]guardian animals[/card] fodder, little else.

What really made this card shit is not that its a bad card, but it features in a class that neither needs card draw or a stealth minion. Yes, this can be a good …

New Druid & Hunter Minion - Teacher's Pet

Love this card. Just a solid 5 drop with a decent deathrattle.

If it didn't have taunt this card would be unplayable, but it has, so it merits some thought. This alongside with [card]twilight runner[/card] (druid exclusive unfortunately) would …

New Demon Hunter & Hunter Minion - Blood Herald

First of all, the art clearly shows that its either demon or beast. Unless its actually a were-demon, so we're expected to treat this as human. What balancing reasons there must be for this to be neither will be known …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Vilefiend Trainer

There was a time where [card]grim necromancer[/card] was somewhat considered in standard and this one's very nearly 2 times as big.

Its a good card, but in a sea of other good cards I can't find a place for …

New Demon Hunter Spell - Double Jump

Its actually quite useful a card, since it effectively tutors and activates an outcast card. Might find a place in control dhunters, perhaps with [card]glide[/card] or [card]skull of gul'dan[/card] as the only outcast card in the deck. Same application in …

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 …
