New Rogue Minion - Halkias

Probably not good, but will still see play assuming secret rogue is good.

The problem is interactivity. At its best your opponent will trigger the secret and be unable to kill this, but that's highly unlikely. More likely is …

New Hunter Spell - Stag Charge

I like it because it deals direct damage, which hunters always like. Unfortunately, it would likely also end up in quest hunter, a major negative to me, but notwithstanding that makes the card even more flexible than [card]spirit poacher[/card] or …

New Hunter Spell - Wild Spirits

Between this and [card]spirit poacher[/card], I think that's all the wildseeds you need. The fact is that the wildseeds are all good, but their power level diminishes as more of them are played. You dont need two stags taking up …

Dean Ayala’s Hearthstone Q&A Recap #45 - Disruption Effects, Two-Set Narratives, Location Cards Trivia, & More

Attracting new and old players back to the game is probably difficult. Hearthstone is simply no longer fresh, no matter how many expansions you dropped, and suffers from comparison with the casual nature of battlegrounds. It may not be as …

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 …
