New Neutral Minion - Crimson Hothead

Not too bad! Not great, but not bad...

New Demon Hunter Minion - Shardshatter Mystic

Anything involving the Soul Fragments mechanic gets 5 stars from me! Fairly easy set up for a decent board clear effect if you fall behind.

New Demon Hunter Spell - Fel Guardians

Could be okay in a control/midrange style that uses the 1/1 Illidari with rush to make trades... maybe.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Soulshard Lapidary

Anything involving the Soul Fragments mechanic gets 5 stars from me! This is like a smaller Inner Demon with a body and a fairly easy set up.

New Rogue Minion - Infiltrator Lilian

I wouldn't be surprised if this sees some play. Maybe not meta defining, but possibly good enough for a fun Stealth build.

New Priest Spell - Initiation

Flexible as a Sylvanas type of steal that also full heals what you steal, and you can target the steal instead of it being random. Or you can use it as a way to full heal your own minion that …

New Paladin Spell - Blessing of Authority

That was my very first thought too! On turn 5 when combined with Wisp this is a 5 mana 9/9 with no downside because it couldn't attack that turn anyway.

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Druid Cards

After seeing the Rdu clip in the latest Trolden video with Gibberling... I am not sleeping on this card! I know it’ll be rare, but when he made like four 2/2s, a 1/1, and a 3/3 on turn 1 I …

Thoughts about the New Game Mode?

I believe they also said it will have rewards similar to Arena, so I'm kind of thinking maybe something like Arena but constructed. So Brawleseum plus Tavern Brawl "Brawl Block" with monthly rotating sets available. Or bi-monthly like what they …

A Wild Hearthstone Weekend Featuring Pirate Paladin, Control Mage, Libram Anyfin Paladin, and More!

I played against only one of them when playing Even Totem Shaman to legend but I can say my 79% winrate Shaman got obliterated by DMH Warrior! That's just one match up, and really just one match, but Zeddy in …

A Wild Hearthstone Weekend Featuring Pirate Paladin, Control Mage, Libram Anyfin Paladin, and More!

Thanks for the highlight! That Shaman deck seems to be a pretty strong choice for the Wild meta right now. Anyone interested in playing it better hurry before new cards drop! Or play it WHEN the new cards drop to …

Hearthstone's August Card Back, Scholomance Academy, Has Arrived!

Got to have this before opening packs! It's on the required materials list for new students!

The Cupcake Card Back (April 2015 Ranked Reward) Appears to be Returning to the Hearthstone Shop

I like having different backs to sometimes go with the theme of a deck. But at this point I've got so many, I'd rather save my money/gold for something non-cosmetic. Just a personal opinion though.

Hearthstone's 18.0 Patch Includes Data for 6 New Cosmetic Hero Skins for Hunter, Mage, Paladin, and Warrior

I believe achievements in the game was something they mentioned as a feature coming this year, but can't remember if it was 2nd or 3rd expansion cycle. Might make sense to add it along with the new game mode, which …

Hearthstone's 18.0 Patch Includes Data for 6 New Cosmetic Hero Skins for Hunter, Mage, Paladin, and Warrior

I always see Sylvanas and think, "Rogue opponent" until I realize the hero power is Steady Shot. I know the lore, she was a ranger, so Hunter is a fit, but I see her and don't think Hunter for some …

Hearthstone's 18.0 Patch Includes Data for 6 New Cosmetic Hero Skins for Hunter, Mage, Paladin, and Warrior

The animated Garrosh portrait at 500 wins is pretty nice, honestly. With the flames all around him. And Scholar Jaina... so Jaina in her younger, college years?! Maybe her WC3 look.

Commencement

Discover and Lifesteal they saw a lot of promise in, and liked the design space that they open up. But yeah, with a lot of the others they give them the Enrage treatment outside of their intended sets. Echo had …

Certain keywords rarely get used outside of their set because the devs must think it would hurt the flavor of the set it was designed for... or so I assume. Same reason why [card]phase stalker[/card] doesn’t say Inspire, and [card]Witch’s …

[card]Gather your party[/card].

I don’t get why they don’t reuse certain keywords when appropriate. I know Recruit was a K&C keyword, and Echo was only WW (with at least one exception in [card]sn1p-sn4p[/card]), but is it going to hurt …
