Sneak Peek at Hearthstone Mercenaries - Screenshots and Descriptions of the New Mode via a Blizzard Survey

I want a REAL roguelike! Where's my ASCII UI and sink-kicking mechanics?

Realistically, I think that this might be an auto-battler. Not a massive fan of the idea, but I'll probably at least take a look when it goes …

Don't need a tavern brawl for this, just play stealer of souls warlock! :)

New Warrior Minion - Man-at-Arms

If only this was a pirate, it would maybe reach playable in pirate warrior. As it stands, a 2 mana 3/4 with no other effects is strong, but perhaps not strong enough to stand against other decks, especially when getting …

New Warrior Weapon - Whetstone Hatchet

I don't think that this does enough to see play. The opportunity to scale well with weapon buffs is real, but that feels too vulnerable to weapon removal.

New Warrior Minion - Kresh, Lord of Turtling

It does a lot of stuff, but I don't know if any deck can slot it in. The armour and the weapon are nice, but it doesn't really help on the board when it enters play. Dead man's hand can't …

New Rogue Minion - Water Moccasin

Doesn't really have anything to offer. It's not weak but it doesn't occupy a niche that needs filling, especially given the restriction on poisonous.

New Shaman Spell - Perpetual Flame

Full board clear as long as everything is below or at 3 seems pretty strong, especially compared to [card]Forked Lightning[/card]. I've been burned on shaman boardwipes before, so maybe I'm being overoptimistic. Definite maybe.

New Shaman Minion - Wailing Vapor

Super good card for a super bad deck. This can easily scale up to a 3/3 or 4/3 within a few turns thanks to how many low cost elementals there are. The problem is that elemental shaman is just not …

New Warlock Spell - Unstable Shadow Blast

Strong but not necessary. Warlocks have a lot of strong absolute removal and board wipe tools, and I can't see this outcompeting either. Maybe if the 6 damage on turn 2 mark becomes really important, maybe against handbuff mech paladin?

New Warlock Minion - Stealer of Souls

Mecha'thun warlock is back! This + [card]Plot Twist[/card] with a reno in hand lets you get the [card]Mecha'thun[/card] + [card]Cataclysm[/card] without any need for other combo pieces as long as you have 7 or more life, 15 or more without …

New Neutral Minion - Selfless Sidekick

Really interesting effect, but the cost prohibits it from being useful. Nearly any weapon in the game could just be played instead.

New Rogue Spell - Shroud of Concealment

Rogues aren't really hungry for more draw. The tutor effect is good, but I don't think any rogue decks are currently looking for anything that can't just be achieved by [card]Swindle[/card]. The side ability is also quite mediocre, and will …

New Priest Minion - Cleric of An'she

It's a pretty clean effect we've seen before with other conditions in [card]Cleric of Scales[/card], but this one comes with an un-hero-powerable body and an even easier condition. I think that this has a good shot at seeing play.

New Paladin Spell - Judgment of Justice

Pretty strong effect. Glad to see paladin secrets getting a little stronger. Not sure this one slots into the same aggressive package as [card]Oh My Yogg![/card], but It's definitely a lot more powerful than any anti-minion secret paladin has had …

New Priest Spell - Against All Odds

The [card]Wave of Apathy[/card] combo has been pointed out, but I feel as though priests just have better tools available. Maybe if you specifically only run minions with even attack you can get a 1-sided board clear, but that just …

New Paladin Weapon - Seedcloud Buckler

Would be really strong and slot nicely into an odd paladin list if that divine shield to all minions effect was a battlecry. As it stands, you will often end up getting the effect too late. One thing of potential …

New Mage Minion - Floecaster

This is a super-aggressive card that only pays off if you run effects that are the opposite of aggressive. In a hypothetical freeze aggro deck, or maybe secret mage with a freeze package, you run into the problem that you …

New Hunter Minion - Sin'dorei Scentfinder

Not really worth it, especially given it is so hard to get value from the rush on the tokens. If you want to summon a bunch of tokens, there are far better options.

New Hunter Weapon - Venomstrike Bow

It's not great, and I don't think there's much else to say about it. As a slower hunter deck, your health is precious, and if you use this to remove two big minions you're losing a lot of it.

New Mage Spell - Shattering Blast

The obvious combo is with [card]Frost Nova[/card], but I can't think of any deck that would really want to do that right now. Fun idea, but the strength of freeze effects is that they lock the opponent out of their …
