Treasure Hunter Eudora - If blizz was smart, theyd make Eudora a rogue skin featuring the signature card art, sold for 20 bucks and very likely theyd make bank. As for the card itself, its kinda a weird one to judge because the loot is actually just the duels treasures similar to kazakusan, and you only get two of them. …

Sanc'Azel - I really like the card because it grants something paladin tends to lack, which is removal via rush minions. That the location also grants rush and +3 attack means no matter what the forms, this card will always be of some use. But seriously, unless we see a slower pally that is not handbuff appear this card would …

For anyone wondering about the location.

Since the location is usable immediately, my guess is that you can buff a minion up to 8 times assuming the card itself can keep attacking and somehow not die.

Edit: Now confirmed by team5. The location will close after you use it. So you cant actually keep attacking …

Raylla, Sand Sculptor - Comparable to vex crow, probably playable, though we should perhaps ask what is such a card that requires plenty of cheap spells doing in a deck that allows paladin cards to be played. So perhaps its an indicator that pally's identity relates to cheap spells. It would be interesting to see how this card can work …

Incindius - The eruptions will hit all enemies for 1 (in effect 2) damage, but if this card stays beyond one turn then they upgrade in damage every turn. Only thing I like about this card is that it really doesnt matter if incindius is dead, the eruptions will still exist in your deck to provide swing turns whenever you …

Hits all enemies

Finally some interesting cards to look at;

Griftah, Trusted Vendor - Unlike its ill fated predecessor this card might actually see play in competitive, and is likely an auto include into reno decks because nearly all the amulets he gives you is useful, and the phony versions are pretty much shit cards, though not all of them. Imagine that …

Patches the pilot - Its a decent enough card that it'll see play and likely most dhunters would play it because why not? The only real downside is that it massively affects skull of guldan which isnt in standard. Otherwise, I cant see why wouldnt any deck play this. Good one drop that have the potential to highroll and each …

Its probably too slow, and in my opinion isnt really a winning play unless its full on attrition control being top meta again, which it probably wouldnt. Im not discounting that the grub could see play in a reno deck but I doubt its win rate is gonna be anywhere near spectacular. Most classes nowadays have better draw options that …

Card review on day 2:

Cruise Captain Lora - Its really hard to evaluate this one because I dont think its poorly costed but at the same time, playing a 7 mana card that dumps two underwhelming locations is about as suicidal as it gets, even for druid. On the other hand, you can easily get puppet …

Just one card until two days later. But at least this card is playable.

Basically you play this in zarimi priest and gotten out on curve it just wins you the game. Depending on how consistent the combo works, it might actually get zarimi nerfed again or alternatively this card because that's just so much stats on one card.

New Marin is busted. Being able to choose wand at all times means its never redundant. A case where the reward is so overpowered that all other considerations (lack of rush, taunt etc.) are just secondary.

As for the tourist cards, its clearly just a gimmick because we've already seen this before in the form of dual class cards. …

Perhaps the most concerning thing is the fact that bots are simply getting more sophisticated. Ive encountered legions of supposed players playing basic decks all over bronze wild, even as the core set allows them to play better decks.

Im not sure if all these measures actually discourages botting, more likely it just make botters do better.

Quick reviews;

Dust bunny - Probably too expensive. The only real thing you want here is coin and you can easily get it from greedy partner, so whats this suppose to do other than as bait?

Flikering Lightbot - Too few holy spells to make this realistically good. Only if makiroll is still in standard. A highlander …

The Replicator-inator - A sort of card that I'll wait patiently for pros to completely abuse. However, I will say that it doesnt really impress me at first glance. Being able to copy a minion just like that is impressive, but the cost of this minion + the idea that you'll need to keep it in hand until the exact …

New cards, let's have a look;

Product 9 - Probably wouldnt see much play in the current meta because hunters all about playing by tempo, and Im not seeing any possibility of secret hunter being good. Even if we assume this card is playable, its nearly never played on curve and relies very heavily on other cards …

Alright, mini set coming. At least we only need to deal with the current meta for likely another week or so. Here's my thoughts;

Gigantify - Probably not anywhere near as good as miniaturize, which if we have to be honest, isnt exactly making waves itself. So main problem to this keyword: its high cost makes it only really …

I fully symphatize with your decision to let go of hearthstone because if I have to be perfectly honest the game has gone stale for quite some time now, and it always seem to me like its hanging on the edges of being let go. All that was needed was a slight nudge, and blizzard duly provided it when they …

My take on the changes;

Shroomscavate and deputization aura effectively got nuked, because I cant see them see any play for their effects anymore. Its is really kind of funny, how shroomscavate doesnt really have any shaman connections anymore and is now just a vanilla exacavate card. Probably one of the weakest excavate card now.

Other …

Certain things shouldve been addressed, like ticking module which seems almost an auto pick for nearly any and all zilliax. But Im less happy about the nerfs for paladin. All they needed to do is just remove windfury from shroomscavate. Even the plushy nerf seems like a nerf candidate simply because it has been performing well but not in consideration …
