All Whizbang's Workshop Day 11 Hearthstone Card Reveals - March 2

Wondering how this will work with [card]Ashen Elemental[/card]--how do you guys read it? I feel like the wording of the card as "when X, they take Y damage" makes the source of damage a bit ambiguous--is it coming from the …

Sesselie of the Fae Court is a New Castle Nathria Card Revealed by Blizzard

I wonder... if the DR Druid package flops, could we see [card]Hadronox[/card] in the 2023 Core Set? 🤔 I don't think it's completely out of the question (after printing [card]Bless[/card], they threw [card]Lyra the Sunshard[/card] and [card]Radiant Elemental[/card] into this …

Welp, if I pull this, it's going straight into my Hadronox Druid. :D

Promotion is a New Paladin Card Revealed by Online-station for Castle Nathria

I'm betting the mana cost makes this card early-meta aggro bait, but that it ends up getting revisited halfway between patches in slower lists. Tbh it really looked like trash to me at first, but then I thought of [card]Blessing …

Three New Hunter Cards Revealed For Hearthstone's Throne of the Tides Mini-Set

I'm wondering whether it's even as good as that... please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't spell damage work by increasing all damage-related numbers on the spell? If that's right, then you'd have to have spell damage +3 to …

Everything You Need to Know About Hearthstone's Year of the Hydra & New 250 Card Core Set (72 Returning Cards)

Here's a few dust tips (keep in mind that this advice is coming from a player who's been F2P/budget since Whispers of the Old Gods... so if you're willing to average more than $5ish spent on each expansion, probably not …

Bottomfeeder is a New Druid Card Revealed by BeNice for Voyage to the Sunken City

If we're talking standard, I kind of doubt fatigue immunity will be relevant in Druid, at least for the next year... [card]Kazakusan[/card] is just too strong of a finisher, and Taunt and Beast Druid are just too fast for fatigue …

Hearthstone Reveals 6 New Sunken Treasures from Voyage to the Sunken City

I think when you say "[card]Doomguard[/card]," people hear "[card]Carnivorous Cube[/card] and [card]Bloodreaver Gul'dan[/card]"... and all the trauma comes rushing back haha.

Wrathspine Enchanter is a New Shaman Card Revealed by Tansoku for Voyage to the Sunken City

Makes sense! The part I wasn't sure about was whether Dredge is actually considered to be a Discover, or whether it's a separate mechanic whose UI just looks like Discover. I guess it really doesn't make much sense to reinvent …

Wrathspine Enchanter is a New Shaman Card Revealed by Tansoku for Voyage to the Sunken City

I'll be curious to see how this card actually works once it hits ladder... "Fire" is listed as the first school in both the English and Japanese versions of the card, but the gameplay video shows the Nature spell proc'ing …

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

That's really good to know about Brann and Siamat! Thanks!!!

Not saying the OTK is competitively viable (I certainly hope it's not... my favorite games of all time were Rise of Shadows Control Warrior mirrors), I'm just double-checking that …

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

That could be true--I haven't used or seen Bolner a whole bunch! However, as I understand it, he only chooses randomly when the battlecry is itself random.

The way [card]Bru'kan of the Elements[/card]'s battlecry reads to me is "Battlecry: …

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

I do find it somewhat frightening that Bolner + Bru'kan + Lightning Bloom + two 1-mana battlecries = 24 face damage.

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

No, I was just throwing in a random 1-mana battlecry. I did realize, however, that [card]Tour Guide[/card] could mean extra damage too. Here is the thought process:

Bru'kan of the Elements is a New Legendary Shaman Hearthstone Card Revealed by Ben for Fractured in Alterac Valley

Someone check my math, but I believe [card]Bolner Hammerbeak[/card] + [card]Bru'kan of the Elements[/card] + 2x [card]Lightning Bloom[/card] + 2x [card]Kindling Elemental[/card] + 2x [card]Elven Archer[/card] + [card]Guardian Augmerchant[/card] = 44 face damage (plus an unrestricted [card]Reno Jackson[/card] and/or asymmetrical …

Hearthstone's Upcoming Expansion 'Fractured in Alterac Valley' Brings Horde vs Alliance Rivalry to Hearthstone in Full Swing!

For sure! Here's the list I'm currently running: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/31084-amulet-nzoth-priest. I've seen mostly Shadow Amulet Priest builds on ladder, but I feel like the extra healing from Holy cards/your hero power is more valuable than a proactive hero power. Still …

Hearthstone's Upcoming Expansion 'Fractured in Alterac Valley' Brings Horde vs Alliance Rivalry to Hearthstone in Full Swing!

Agreed. When I first saw [card]Drek'Thar[/card], I immediately thought of [card]Grim Necromancer[/card], which is right on the edge of playability (it seems to me like it almost always pops up in early versions of board-flooding decks before getting cut in …

Hearthstone's Upcoming Expansion 'Fractured in Alterac Valley' Brings Horde vs Alliance Rivalry to Hearthstone in Full Swing!

Speaking purely anecdotally, Vandarr has felt like he's made a huge difference in Amulet N'Zoth Priest, Commencement Warrior, and Big Demon Demon Hunter. I haven't gotten around to trying him in Clown Druid or Corrupt Priest yet, but I imagine …
