Soul Shear is so good. Deal 3 damage, shuffle 4 health into the deck for 2 mana is insanely good value. :)
The total package is somwhere between 4 stars and 5 stars for me...
Not gonna lie, Spirit Jailer bums me out. I was really hoping that Big Demon Warlock was going to be a thing without having to run a Dragon package for Nether Breath healing, but this one just messes up Willow and Kanrethad.
I mean, I'M still gonnna run the two spells, but it still upset me.
I'm reminded of the main problem with Galakrond Shaman on release: the invoke cards were solid enough in their own right that you pretty much got the payoff cards for free, as though they had no restriction on them.
We'll have to see how this mechanic plays out, but all the soul shard generators look a little too solid by themselves to justify the size of the payoffs you get.
Edit: on a bright note, I see an awful lot of commons and rares in there, so at least they are making it cheap to play.
This. 100 times.
Sorry for double posting (I'm replying as I view the video): This is so much huger and has so much more support as the Libram mechanic. Why is this for two of the strongest classes? It's like they have their own Galakrond.
Suicide Warlock with Soul fragments, some scary stuff is gonna happen.....
so there are lot more dual class cards than expected !
The devs confirmed that there will be 30 40 dual class cards since it's announcement
I see ... some of them are NOT dual class
40, four for each class pairing.
One Legendary, One Epic, One Rare, and One Common.
This seems like a pretty complex mechanic compared with Hearthstones past. Tho i thought the same initially with Galakrond and invoke. Maybe i'm just dumb lol
I kind of hope this ends up being weak.
You know, I also kind of hope this ends up being weak. I am very interested in this mechanic and it looks like tons of fun, but I feel like a lot of people feel the same way, and I don't want day 1 to just be everybody playing Soul Fragment decks and then it has to be nerfed 3 days in.
I don't play Paladin, but I really like how they did Libram Paladin. They made a new mechanic and made it very interesting, but a little bit under-powered. This way deck brewers can get excited about trying to make this cool new mechanic work, and then later when they buff it everybody is happy because now all of the different brews they made are viable.
A good strategy would be to make the new and interesting mechanic under-powered on purpose, and make the more generic stuff slightly over-powered. That way on release everybody is trying to make different strategies work in different ways, but ultimately fail to build a powerful deck. Then half way through release they can nerf the generic stuff and buff the interesting stuff. Now people praise blizzard for making good balance updates, and they can try the old stuff like it is new again.
Exactly, i liked the libram approach. I had higher hopes for it at launch. However, after watching the video and the more i look at these cards, i'm fairly certain that they are going to be strong mechanics out of the gate. Warlock's cards have me interested as something i might try out.. the dh stuff scares me to death bc i feel like this is the last thing it needs.
Even the most complex things feel simple when you have done them enough times, and even the most intelligent among us find simple things complex at first.
Anyway, yes, I hope it is fairly weak. Partly because I don't feel like having DH in S tier again, and partly because I want to play with it without feeling dirty.
Oh why do you give a so continous source of healing to DH? It should be their weakness!
Now I want healing for Rogue and Hunter!
(self) Healing a weakness of DH? From a WoW point of view that would seriously be one of the last things I could imagine to be a weakness
I suppose this is the deck that Blizzard imagined people would run Lorekeeper Polkelt. I'd play this, a Control DH style that doesn't seem to be as annoying as Tempo/Aggro DH.
Don't think Polthek would be that great. You shuffle one Soul Fragment in your deck, and it's automatically re-shuffled.
