New Mage Minion - Vexallus

Its your main man for the OTK setup.

But outside of the obvious OTK, most arcane spells are expensive enough that this card will almost never be used alongside it. The best I can think of is [card]arcane intellect[/card], …

New Mage Minion - Arcsplitter

Its main purpose is, as you guessed it, to supply you with arcane bolts. So if the bolts are key then this would be key.

But it is significantly worse than [card]arcane wyrm[/card]. Bad stats for cost, and being …

New Mage Minion - Magister's Apprentice

Arcane hasn't always been the best spell school in mage, so this is just an apprentice for an OTK, which is perfectly fine because its predecessor was never used outside of one anyway.

But this is one of those …

New Mage Minion - Arcane Wyrm

Its main purpose is to give you [card]arcane bolt[/card]s and a decent turn 1 minion. The bolts of course is pretty good far as a ping goes, but crucially provides you the ammunition you need for an OTK with [card]vexallus[/card] …

Mage Legendary and 3 More New Class Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by Languagehacker

Well here we go, arcane bolt OTK all setup. 9 mana, [card]vexallus[/card] -> [card]magister's apprentice[/card] -> one spell damage minion + 4 [card]arcane bolt[/card]s = 32 damage. And by the looks of it, you can get at least 8 arcane …

4 Druid Cards (1 New) Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by ChunGe

Mana gain for other classes have been explored before, like [card]lightning bloom[/card] and [card]escaped manasaber[/card] but as most would predict it, they just dont work all that well for classes that wasn't specifically designed to work with it. Druid (much …

4 Druid Cards (1 New) Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King Expansion by ChunGe

Support for aggro druid, and seems like team5 is doubling down on the hordes of undead thing with druid. But Im still not entirely convinced because there's just so many non-undead cards you'd run in aggro druid, which is why …

New Druid Spell - Unending Swarm

Not too surprised to see this being printed, since [card]wither[/card] itself becomes useless once the undead horde are all gone. So it makes sense that there should be a card that generates undead boards back

But this card has …

New Mage Spell - Vast Wisdom
Quote From LarryMoments

[spoiler]it discovers two spells and then... what? You still paid 3 mana to cast a spell that you'd easily put into your deck or maybe even Discover or draw from another card, like [card]Runed Orb[/card], …

Blizzard Provides Insights on Paladin's Class Design in March of the Lich King

The best cards for pally this expansion is undoubtedly the blood knights, because they are fast and cover up a significant problem in pally's card library in standard - they're fast, they take initiative, and they do face damage. Like …

New Rogue Spell - Ghostly Strike

Its not bad, but not good neither. Certainly nowhere near the efficiency of [card]swindle[/card], the one card that every rogue mains want back in standard.

But miracle lists always need more draw, so why not? At least its likely …

New Priest Spell - Animate Dead

The only redeeming factor is the fact that its a shadow spell, and thus has synergies.

Aside from that, its really one of those things that looks good but further probing revealing how shit it actually is. Because what …

New Mage Spell - Vast Wisdom

Its a fine card, because basically it discovers 2 spells. The fact that the pool is restricted means you'll likely find what you need, like another [card]arcane bolt[/card] or even [card]frozen touch[/card]. Menacingly this can also get you secrets, which …

New Druid Spell - Wither

Its good, but very clunky.

The key here is how well druid can flood their board with undead, because this card for some reason only works with that. And since many of aggro druid's staples are non-undead, its kinda …

New Rogue Minion - Scourge Illusionist

Deathrattle support for rogue? Are we sure this isn't a mage card or something. Pretty sure its against the rules to print such things for rogue

But jokes aside. This card is good, and will likely make for a …

5 New March of the Lich King Card Reveals From Day 2 of the Death Knight Preview Showmatch Streams

I think the main problem is that it doesn't cheese out neptulon, which is why the comparison is a little suspect.

Blizzard Is Suspending Hearthstone Game Operations in China on January 23, 2023

Im actually surprised that the total revenue from the entire country only factors 3%.

But perhaps not too surprised. Im fairly certain that most serious players use VPN, so likely the currency paid cannot be tracked or paid in …

New Druid Minion - Lingering Zombie

Sticky as hell, and its kinda the thing that aggro druid really needs, particularly since druid currently lacks ways to protect their board from being endlessly destroyed.

Also helps that it synergizes with all those 'undead dead a turn …

New Rogue Minion - Rotten Rodent

Dont know what broken things you can do with this card but somehow someway some pro will make it happen.

For that reason alone Im tentatively giving this 5 stars, simply because its inevitable.

New Priest Minion - Mind Eater

Its thief priest support.

Yup, that about does it for a review. Its not supposed to be good, which it really isn't, but its kinda the stuff priest tends to get one way or another.
