I'm not so sure about this one. The card is very exciting to me. I think the effect and idea behind it are super cool and it has the potential to be pretty strong.
It also depends on how the early game for warrior shapes out. If warrior is going to be taking the board early with different tribal minions then this is insane. Warrior is great at using early pirates and there is a mech are too worth looking at. Skybarge is a mech that benefits from you playing pirates and there is the 2 drop pirate that comes from your hand for free so there may be some strong swing turn stuff here.
It's also worth mentioning that imprisoned vilefiend on curve will make this card at most 4 mana on turn 4 every time. Imprisoned Gan'arg (the 1 drop that gives firey war axe) may also make sense because these cards are both demons.
This card seems insane. Probably not as busted as I was thinking when I first saw it, but super good. For 6 attack you need a weapon + twin slice or lapidary, at least with the cards we have right now. So there is some set up involved for cheating this out. Lapidary + hero power + this is seven mana. Weapon plus twin slices is 6/7 mana, so its not like you're just jamming it down out of nowhere cheaply. The strength of this weapon will be on your turns where you already have the weapon loaded up though. You can pump up your weapon, blade dance, and play this to kill a fourth thing all in the same turn for not that much mana. Thats a powerful swing.
Even if you have to play 6 mana 6/6 in some gamestates that isn't terrible.
This is going to see some play in Soul DH and any other DH that is making big weapon swings.
good card. not too much to say about it. It's just a sick top end bomb for pure pally and pure pally only. Rush/divine shield lets you impact the board immediately to get value so it is much less weak to removal / sap effects. Taunt/lifesteal basically locks out aggro who have to trade into it. Has synergy with librams because by turn 8 they're often 0 so you can pump this up.
I remember Yrel from WoW WoD. Cool to see her in HS.
This card seems good. You definitely play this in the wild gala warrior I think because that deck has a few flex spots and it runs key dragons (scion), mechs (zilliax, sometimes clockwork goblin) and some cheap pirates. Theres probably some other kinds of wild decks that would run this.
In standard i'm not as sure. Going to depend on some of the upcoming cards. Any card that tutors skipper in standard is good, and you can always slap deathwing in a deck especially if you're tutoring it. I'm not sure about mechs but skybarge is a mech and getting that plus the pirate to activate it seems like something. Lot of random mechs for warrior that might find their way into this deck.
We're probably topping this deck off with the new N'zoth. too bag kargath prime isn't a demon, lul. i'm pretty interested in this warrior deck and hope it's a thing.
We've learned that the 1/4 stat line on early minions is quite strong but this effect is really specific to decks with rush minions that want to push face damage. With strong support cards this card is probably the nuts. Without them there is just no reason to play it. Let's see what they give us.
This card is so good. This isn't just a bad tech card like Owl or Spellbreaker, it has a lot more implications. Not only is it silence tech but you're stealing whatever you silence in typical priest fashion.
You can steal and remove high value deathrattles, you can just steal keywords like lifesteal, taunt, or rush or even strong on the board effects like Sethekk or questing adventurer.
You can even use it on your own minions. I'm not sure of a strong implication of that but there are definitely niche scenarios where the flexibility will be strong.
I wasn't at first but if you consider the no dupes rule it's not that bad because you're going to be pulling all the new rares and possibly epics straight away with your new packs. So you could save up some gold once you get all the rares and epics and just go off when the mini set is released.
I'm glad they're responding to the feedback and putting some effort into updating the voice lines. The community did it's job of giving appropriate feedback on something that should be better, and they're listening and doing something about it. That's the kind of interaction you like to see.
That's sort of what I thought. I got the idea that these heroes were meant to be less unique than the true hero power/animations skins.
I love this idea. I have almost all the cosmetic heroes they've released but I missed like two (Sylvanas and the warrior dude). I wouldn't mind getting those.
i hate this just because it's a priest card. priest gets to play the good cards out of your hand and you're forced to have a turn with priest cards which are shit.
I feel like this is too cheap which makes it too good. I don't mind more disruption in hearthstone but this is a bit much.
I don't know man, this thing is kind of good. It's low tempo for a rogue weapon but a ton of value. If you deadly poison this the turn you play it and swing every hit face, thats 18 damage. Obviously that's super wishful thinking but that's a lot of value from one weapon. More swings means more synergy with weapon buffs so in the right kind of deck this is much better than Hooked Scimitar.
The problem is it's a bit slow and its more vulnerable to weapon removal because the big damage is backloaded. Some metas barely have weapon removal, and in a meta like that, this may be your weapon of choice.
This is going to be good at some point, not sure if now. This is a strong payoff card for big beasts though. Tundra Rhino plus something with big attack is near Dinotamer Brann level
We still haven't seen hardly any hunter cards and will probably see them in the big reveal later. If we get a sick five drop this is going to be a deck IMO. It's going to have to be pretty good to cut the diving gryphon/zixor package, but MAYBE you don't cut it and just play this anyway. We'll see.
card seems good for hunter, it allows you to fight back onto the board which is one of the few weaknesses of hunter decks right now. In that way you can kind of just rush any minion from hand.
Also I'm pretty sure you can just go face with the minion then trade after, which is super good
feels better as a hunter card but It could be good in DH too.
this card is nuts and stupidly broken with the coin. it needs some build around because you won't be playing targeted removal, but I think both classes are capable of doing that even if it's not the optimal deck.
Buff paladin should be a thing and thats where I expect this to shine. you can even highroll Libram of Hope if you're playing a deck with it and you might have cheap activators with the reduced libram buff.
People are saying you can't run AOE but I don't see why. A 'free' consecration/holy nova is still good.
Buff/Cube priest can also be a thing. Priest will suffer much more than paladin from lack of targeted removal but they can run more removal on a stick (the new card and maybe even the 4/4 dragon)
Cool card. Not just for a big combo style deck but any deck that is playing cheap spells can run this. if you're going to play a cheap spell then you can basically just play this for free.
I love this card. Seems quite good. Can be combo'd because it has rush but you can also tempo it on 3 against a lot of decks so it's good early. Can be combo'd with a three/two cost spell for a powerful midgame minion, and you can combo it with a big spell later in the game to generate a sizeable threat that impacts the board with two trades.
This is solid I think. If you hit something like torrent you're super happy. With some good luck you can hit a miracle turn, with some bad luck you play a 3 mana 3/3 that disovers you like two spells. You can also just go fishing for burn pretty hard.
It's solid, decent design but a little bit bland. It could also be one of those cards thats a lot more fun to play than it seems so we'll see.
This card is insane, just doesn't have the demons to pull yet. Enhanced Dreadlord is a super strong pull, but we need more things to pull for consistency, and more payoff cards to give you a reason to be playing a big demon deck in the first place.
Might be my favorite card of the set so far. Just give a good big old rush demon (RIP Doomgaurd/charge) and it's a bootleg demonic Kathrena Winterwisp
big ol meme card.
it's like Lady in White but worse with no body. just a first impression, i'll think about it more but it seems like a meme.
I'm not so sure about this one. The card is very exciting to me. I think the effect and idea behind it are super cool and it has the potential to be pretty strong.

Very strong card if you're playing all demon deck. Don't think we have the support for that yet but its probably not too far off.
good card. not too much to say about it. It's just a sick top end bomb for pure pally and pure pally only.

Priest get another strong legendary.

Also gives a reason to play Shan'do Wildclaw.
