Stag Charge is a New Castle Nathria Hunter Card Revealed by Gssspotted

Probably still good, even if a little too slow for the wildseeds. That it does 3 damage might as well be the highlight, because quest hunter can use it.

But in midrange decks, there might just be too many …

Kidnap is a New Rogue Secret Coming to Hearthstone in the Castle Nathria Expansion - Revealed by Blizzard

Anti deathrattle synergy? Looks very much like it. This is the level where deathrattle support for rogue has sunken to.

As for the card itself. Its fairly bad, but with so few secrets if you're playing secret rogue you'll …

Two New Castle Nathria Rogue Cards Revealed by Xeno - Private Eye & Sticky Situation

[card]Sticky situation[/card] will see play even in non secret decks. Having a 3/4 that cannot be interacted for 2 mana early on is fairly good. At very least it'll likely deal 3 damage, or take a value trade.

[card]private …

Halkias is a New Rogue Legendary Card Revealed by Flurry for Murder at Castle Nathria

Because you can have active more than 1 secret, and only one will get this card back to life. So they used the word store, and the word soul perhaps refer to what you see when you scroll over the …

Halkias is a New Rogue Legendary Card Revealed by Flurry for Murder at Castle Nathria

I keep thinking [card]shadow clone[/card] is in standard. Oh well

3 secrets it is then. Because any less would be a farce, and any more would be unprecedented

Halkias is a New Rogue Legendary Card Revealed by Flurry for Murder at Castle Nathria

There's about 5 more rogue cards left, so there's bound to be at least 2 secrets, because the current crop of secrets in rogue are fairly abysmal.

Either way, this card is fairly unamazing, but will likely see play …

Hearthstone Designers Gallon and Songbird Share Insights on Huntsman Altimor - Callbacks, Tavish & More

I personally don't see anything wrong with team5 revisiting old card effects. And its not like this is the first nor shall it be the last.

The artwork is to me a bigger problem because the gargon companions artwork …

New Neutral Minion - Theotar, the Mad Duke
Quote From borisflagell
Quote From dapperdog
It might end up being a card every player must have/craft because the only counter to this is by playing your own theotar.

I'm under the impression the devs …

New Neutral Minion - Theotar, the Mad Duke

This is one mean card. Practically counters combo decks, and in some cases might well just solo games. If you steal your opponent's hero card I think the game is over...unless you use your own theotar to steal it back.

Theotar, the Mad Duke is a New Legendary Card Revealed by Thijs for Castle Nathria

Its hard to evaluate this one, because the stats suck, and the effect may well end up doing nothing. In effect this card is basically like mutanus, except with a chance of backfiring.

But to me this is one …

Clean the Scene is a New Priest Card Revealed by Alliestrasza for Murder at Castle Nathria

Because if they made it against enemies then the keyword may well end up being a flop because you have no agency or control over it. Overkill, honor kill, and frenzy were largely ignored because you're depending on your opponent's …

New Neutral Minion - Ashen Elemental

5/5 stars. Dont care whether it'll be part of the next meta, but for its mere existence its already gratifying.

It'll do 2 damage to face by default and is highly likely to do more to certain classes like …

Ashen Elemental is a New Card Revealed by Corbett for Castle Nathria

This thing is such a hard counter to certain classes, and I wish we had this earlier. Would have made for quite a nice tech card against annoying as hell classes like mage drawing their whole deck, garrote bs, and …

New Priest Spell - Clean the Scene

I'll be honest here; even if this was the only full clear in priest it'll still likely be snubbed.

Because at its core, its simply [card]shadow word: ruin[/card] in reverse, and costing one more incidentally. However, aggro games have …

New Druid Spell - Nightshade Bud

This card has potential to be fairly cancerous, but for the time being its likely not as good as it seem.

Mostly because it disrupts the [card]jerry rig carpenter[/card] into [card]nourish[/card] gameplan, which nearly all druids bar aggro rely …

New Druid Spell - Convoke the Spirits

Probably stuff druid simply does not need, but I can see a world where this is played.

The problem is that most druid spells dont tend to be good removal so if youre playing from behind chances are good …

Clean the Scene is a New Priest Card Revealed by Alliestrasza for Murder at Castle Nathria

Probably not good, mainly because if you're running this you're playing control so what exactly is infusing this card? So on top of draw rng, there's just times where this card cant do shit because you havent any minions on …

Nightshade Bud is a New Druid Card Revealed by Rarran for Murder at Castle Nathria

Its certainly powerful, but likely its not going to be much played as we think it would be.

Because on first glance, this card greatly adds to [card]celestial alignment[/card]'s consistency, being able to either play alignment or anacondra. But …

Convoke the Spirits is a New Druid Card Revealed by Rarran for Murder at Castle Nathria - Updated

The irony of this is that druid spells aren't especially good at removing things so half the time it'll either be ramp or board development, and the other half it would be gaining armor and drawing cards.

In other …

Party Favor Totem is a New Shaman Card Revealed by Buffed for Murder at Castle Nathria

I remember giving [card]anchored totem[/card] a thumbs down when it was first introduced but at the start of sunken city I was actually surprised at how well it worked in a sort of aggro/token shell. Perhaps, and that's again, perhaps, …
