Excavate seems fairly strong, so this ought to be good. 3 mana to do 3 damage to any target isn't terrible on its own, but it does need the extra ability to be playable.
I guess we finally found out how long this could on.
Nope, this will continue to go on even longer!
Seriously, though, this card should be quite good. Saronite Chain Gang saw lots of play when it was in standard, and this is at least as good if not better (depending on Quickdraw).
Don't know how many decks are running both large elementals and large beasts that greatly benefit from being cheated out, but this looks really good if those decks exist.
This was my thought exactly. Cheating out a King Krush could be nice, of course. Another thought is, if you have beefy beasts and elementals with taunt, then this becomes like a Sludge Belcher on steroids. Is there a way to shuffle multiple copies of Thunderbringer into your deck? Then it would pull itself out endlessly.
I gave this 5 stars just for the reference. Its effect of summoning minions is pretty good for 3 mana. I'm curious to see how flexible Quickdraw turns out to be (in terms of, Can I play this now? Should I wait?).
It's a decent card, but not super impactful. I can see it working well for aggro as a way to remove problematic taunts just long enough to get the face.
I wonder if there will ever be a way to make dormant minions stay dormant longer? Then this could be much more powerful.
I play on a Chromebook (trash) and a Moto G Power 2021 (fine). Had the exact same problem on both., so it's clearly an issue with how the most recent patch went out.
Thank you for this news! I saw the changed cards pop-up after logging in to the game, and I could not for the life of me figure out what was different about the Death Knight cards. I kept going over the costs and stats in my head, like "That's not changed." Didn't think about the runes.
I used to host Fireside Gatherings back in the day (IN PERSON) and they were super fun. It was really neat to meet local players, run small tournaments, and just have fun playing Hearthstone with people! My gatherings usually had 6-12 people, but when Nemsy came out, there were over 50 people there that day. Proud to say I was able to help every one of them earn that skin (plus the Fireside Friends card back). Sad to see this go.
Flux, could you provide a few details on what the time commitment and expectations would be for these roles? I play Hearthstone (a lot, and exclusively) and I'm invested in the success of this website. However, I have a busy life (like most people, I'm sure) so I don't know if I would be able to give it the attention it deserves.
It's hard to see this being super useful. It's a really neat idea, though. The discount on Quickdraw cards is probably the most impactful.
Gonna feel real bad in your opening hand. But drawn at the right time, or discovered in a pinch-- Yeehaw!
Those buffs will be impactful with Hollow Hound. Hunter used to run out of health.

Great card! Not a game-changer, but it seems like the condition is easily met, and the value is high.

Potential big value generator right here! Not an early game card, but at 10 or 11 mana, you could maybe do a lot of stuff!
Love the flavor of this card! Quality? I anticipate it will be good enough to run, but not OP.

Great, thorough article. Thanks Echo!
That sucks dude.

Yeah, all set now. Dang that was frustrating. I had a particularly long day and was just looking forward to a couple games before bed.
Hearthstone says "Hearthstone has been updated - download the latest version." I go to the store, no update. It won't let me play the game!!!
Anyone know what this BS is and how to fix it?
Is anyone else absolutely dreading this anomaly:
Games will last forever, your deck will get diluted with cards you don't really want extra copies of, what a nightmare.
And forget about Dredging. The second you do it, your deck gets shuffled.
