New Rogue Spell - Secret Passage

This card is just amazing for so many reasons. It allows you to redraw 5 cards in case you're looking for something specific without also losing your hand.

So if you really really need your galakrond dont want to …

New Neutral Minion - Wandmaker

Its just a smaller cobalt [card]spellkin[/card].

And that's good enough honestly. If getting spells is the game, then this is perhaps even better than the former.

Two New Scholomance Cards Revealed - Secret Passage (Rogue) & Wandmaker

[card]Secret passage[/card] - Does this mean you can use up all those 5 cards and still get your former hand back? If yes then this is absolutely nuts.

[card]wandmaker[/card] - Smaller [card]cobalt spellkin[/card], and that's actually not too bad

New Neutral Weapon - Sphere of Sapience

Its just a meme card at best. Rng to draw it, and you rid that card you draw to the bottom of your deck.

It has a slightly positive effect of maybe condemning a bomb to the bottom (in …

We're Getting a Collectible Neutral Weapon - Sphere of Sapience! Scholomance Academy is Crazy

So essentially this card allows you to circumvent draw rng in a way, at the cost of moving that momentarily useless card to the bottom of your deck, for another chance at a better card from draws.

Its really …

New Neutral Minion - Lorekeeper Polkelt

Its not really reliable enough for combo. Only highlander will truly appreciate this card.

It has a small niche, and is one of the few cards that straightens up how draw rng works, but since its also subject to …

Lorekeeper Polkelt is a New Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

This card is functionally awesome in theory, but is probably impossible to use.

You'd have to draw this card, play it, then it guarantees a certain card being your next draw, which 90% of the time on curve means …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Star Student Stelina

This is just a good, fair card, which in many cases is completely outclassed by [card]glide[/card] as the supreme fk you to your opponent's face.

Otherwise, not really that impressive, honestly. And I'm okay with that.

Probably see …

Star Student Stelina is a New Demon Hunter Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

This is perhaps a better way of doing disruption, instead of its much more infamous cousin [card]glide[/card]. Having a small chance of losing a key card can be devastating, but at the same time its just one card, instead of …

New Demon Hunter Minion - Magehunter

In some ways its actually worse than [card]consume magic[/card] or [card]ironbeak owl[/card], since it gets walled by taunts . Whether this is playable will depend highly on the meta, but its honestly not an impressive card worth much attention.

Magehunter is a New Demon Hunter Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

A straight up silence effect that also requires this to make a suicide dive most of the time.

Probably playable, mostly because playing [card]ironbeak owl[/card] is much worse. It does get walled by taunts though

Moving on.

Pen Flinger is a New Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Probably want to add something like [card]cobalt spellkin[/card] for additional spells to work the author with.

[card]Diligent notetaker[/card] for more spells. Maybe there is something in the author after all, but probably not in quest shaman. I might just …

Pen Flinger is a New Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

But if your deck is not filled with battlecry minions but instead with spells to trigger this guy, what are you going to do with the quest reward?

New Rogue & Warrior Minion - Doctor Krastinov

Its captain [card]greenskin[/card], but with some upsides. It has rush, can trigger multiple times (assuming it survives), and can be copied for a double trigger, crucial things greenskin can't do.

But if your opponent's control, then this 50% of …

New Neutral Minion - Pen Flinger

Can any deck truly justify a deckslot for this poor thing?

I think not.

Maybe rogue, maybe paladin, maybe priest. But more likely in the collection collecting dust it goes.

Pen Flinger is a New Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

[card]Elven archer[/card]. Play a spell and [card]elven archer[/card] again.

Its strong enough, but its perhaps only truly strong in rogue where cheap spells are not very far.

Unfortunately, rogue doesn't really need this card, so its next best …

Doctor Krastinov is a New Rogue & Warrior Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Its basically [card]captain greenskin[/card] but better since it has rush and if this survives then that's another free swing. Has some synergies with [card]playmaker[/card], but [card]bloodsworn mercenary[/card] can usually do the same. Of course, if there's no enemies on board …

Glide is NOT broken

Its not really that bad, honestly. You made some worthy points, and I will add that even control decks rarely have more than 5 cards when facing down tempo dhunters. If you're not playing cards every turn against dhunters, chances …

Hearthstone's New Kel'Thuzad Card Back Had Some Fascinating Concepts

if only the preorders weren't so god smackingly expensive in my country.

New Warlock Minion - Archwitch Willow

If only this didn't have negative synergy with [card]kanrethad prime[/card], it would have been perfect.

But there's still stuff this can do with [card]enhanced dreadlord[/card], so there's potential here somewhere. Maybe there would be better big demons down the …
