We're getting a new round of Classic cards and with that a couple of cards are also being sent to the Hall of Fame and being replaced.
If you want to learn more about class identity and why Blizzard decided to move Vanish and Mind Blast to the Hall of Fame, check out this post from them.
- All the cards have dedicated discussion threads - find links to them below!
- If you want to build new theorycraft decks with the new cards, they're all in our deckbuilder.
Hall of Fame
Two [Hearthstone Card (Basic) Not Found] cards are being sent to the Hall of Fame.
- Vanish is being moved to the Hall of Fame. It is being replaced by a new minion named Plaguebringer.
- Mind Blast is being moved to the Hall of Fame. It is being replaced by a new spell named Radiance.
New Classic Cards
Eight new cards are being added to the Classic set. They will be available for crafting and through card packs.
Comments
They're hurting priest right now so they can add cards that would be broken with mindlast next expansion, or at least that's what I'm assuming.
Actually much worse than Flash Heal, since this new one is not nearly as versatile.
I am ok with Mind Blast HoF, but a slightly better card could have been provided instead...
Exactly! In fact Flash Heal would have been a far worthier replacement. It can heal your minions; and it can damage your opponent in much the same way as Mind Blast but only in combination with other cards.
Will there be individual card discussion threads that get linked here? It would be nice to click on each card to discuss it individually. I would just make a thread but I don't want to conflict with something already in the works.
Yes the threads already exist and will be linked under the cards images once the post gets updated.
When I saw Brightwing I just thought 'murloc'. Seems much more cartoony than any previous dragon art. Can't say I'm a fan.
Literally looks exactly the same in hot
Brightwing is a Faerie Dragon.
Ok, but even that card looks a lot less cartoony.
Have you seen Brightwing in WoW, much larger than any of the other Faerie Dragons, and just as Cute.
It’s a pretty accurate representation of the Brightwing in Heroes of the Storm. Which is made more cartoonish to give the character more personality.
Personally, I am all against cartoony characters, but this is just a card.
Also, Faerie Dragon is cartoonish just as much. I mean, a magic frog with batterfly wings. And as if it wasn't ridiculous enough, deemed a Dragon. Eh...
The clue is probably in the name though ;-)
I'm only referring to the art style, not the concept of a faerie dragon
I agree.....it seems like the artwork for they added cards are not as good in cards released in sets. I thought the same thing with the added cards released already.
Unlike the last cards they added to classic these ones are actually intriguing, mostly. Pretty cool to see so many new cards outside of an expansion. Sad i wont be able to do any mind blast OTK decks in standard now but it's for the best i suppose. New cards are being added to the site as i type this =D.
Get building!
Noooooo not mind blast. How can I now meme in standard with otk priest (which is horrible). O well off to play my reno priest in wild than...
Well radiance is reverse mind blast, so you can meme even harder by OTK-ing yourself with a little help from an Auchenai?? The real beauty of the deck is that you then climb the ladder in reverse too! Its so thematic.
[plays Snake Eater in reverse]
Mind blast is going to wild... Well I was expecting that but not like this... I suppose this works too
