New Priest Spell - Desperate Prayer

Never been a fan of Miracle Priest, but it's still a good activator for Spellburst, [card]Devout Pupil[/card], [card]Brittlebone Destroyer[/card], [card]Nazmani Bloodweaver[/card], etc.

(And yes, we're going to start seeing a lot more [card]Devout Pupil[/card] in Priest, for sure.)

New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor

You put this in the deck because it's a 1-mana 1/3. You are happy when it gets value, but you should not count on it.

A greedier deck might try to bank on buffing it and playing it later …

New Druid Minion - Druid of the Plains
Quote From Thendes

Seems good but no place for now,

Great cards enable archetypes; they don't depend on them.

This is a great card.

How is Rogue Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

The Burgle archetype became quite respectable with [card]Bazaar Burglary[/card], so there's no reason it can't be good again.

Peon

The real question is why would you run Peon at all? If you are already running broomstick for other reasons, there are far better 2-drops to include. Even [card]Rock Rager[/card] would be better than this if you are dead-set on …

New Neutral Minion - Spirit Healer

Yes, Librams are definitely Holy. It would be the dumbest thing ever if they weren't.

We are going to need so many owls ...

Spirit Healer

The horse hasn't exactly been tearing up the meta. Even in combination, the two won't exactly be oppressive.

If you don't have anything better to use your broomstick on, you shouldn't be carrying a broomstick.

New Neutral Minion - Peon
Quote From samwisetarly

I hope Frenzy triggers if the minion gets one-shot... 

Nope. The definition of Frenzy is "the first time this minion survives damage."

It's a River Crocolisk, plain and simple. It's …

New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)

Obviously there will be Fel synergy. If you're dismissing this card because you think spell schools won't matter, you're in for some big surprises.

Imagine, if you will, a minion with the text: After you cast a Fel …

How is Druid Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

[card]Swipe[/card] has practically been an auto-include in Druid decks in nearly every meta. The only time it's not is when Token Druid is strong (like now), because that archetype wins the wide-board contest by default.

Board clears may not …

This Week's Hearthstone Balance Patch Postponed Until Forged in the Barrens Release in 20.0

I did say "very few," not "none." Of those three cards, only Deckhand has weapon synergy, and it's not even present in every version of the deck. Nor is Sap, for that matter. Just goes to show that they are …

How is Mage Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

That's a ridiculous attitude.

Secret Mage didn't exist as an archetype at all for the first few years of the game. Then it kind of worked in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, but wasn't top-tier. Now it's stronger than it's …

This Week's Hearthstone Balance Patch Postponed Until Forged in the Barrens Release in 20.0

Sure, there's a lot of Rogue at the moment, but I'll take that over a Control Warrior dominated meta anytime.

Of course, set rotation is going to cure a multitude of ills, so it seems a bit strange that …

How is Druid Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

At the moment, the only viable all-spell strategy for Druid is tokens. It's very strong right now, but it's losing [card]Treenforcements[/card], [card]Dreamway Guardians[/card], [card]Rising Winds[/card], [card]BEEEES!!![/card], [card]Blessing of the Ancients[/card], and [card]Savage Roar[/card] -- in other words, half the deck, …

How is Druid Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

Agree. The ability to ramp without skipping your turn is a very big deal.

Note, however, that you're going to rely on card draw more than ever when using a tactic like this. There is precious little draw in …

How is Paladin Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

You could argue that Paladin is changing the least as a class when you consider that the Legacy cards it is losing are seldom seen these days. Every other class is losing some powerful auto-includes, but Paladin gets to keep …

How is Mage Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

The new Hearthstone is about the board, not face burn, not hard control. In that light, cards like Aegwynn and the hero power cards make sense, as well as the deletion of cards that freeze the entire enemy board or …

Hearthstone's March 2021 Card Back, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Has Arrived!

Agreed, it's such a waste. You get to see your opponent's mainly when they discover something, and you pretty much never get to see your own.
