So, uh... about those Priest cards. Our real life time flow is getting messed up just as much as the Hearthstone one. We're still trying to hunt down the source, but until then, today's reveal is all about Hunter. We've got all of the information you need right here about the new set, which will also contain the first batch of cards revealed alongside the expansion itself.

King Maluk - Alright, this is the supposed payoff for running a cheap and fast deck that regularly runs out of cards in hand. The problem is: well, its kinda shit, relying entirely on the board sticking, and the downsides are so terrible that I cant see this card being any way viable. Basically the correct way to play this card is to draw it as early as possible and pray hard that none of your hand matters and do a hail mary on turn 4. From there, its another hail mary to get either draw options or consistently hitting top decks like a pro.
Worse part of all is the infinite banana isnt even that good. Youre always one board clear away from irrelevance and at best the banana ensures that you'll always trade well or maximize mana spent. Beast hunter is already maximizing what a board based aggro deck can do, so what is this payoff doing thats better than that already?
Precise shot - Good card. Not difficult to manipulate in an aggro deck where this card presumably gets the most of out it. Very lucky that kill command is no longer in standard.
Past Silvermoon - Bit slow but quite a good card for aggro. Its basically trampling rhino that'll make your opponent think twice about playing minions.
Untimely Death - Probably the best hunter card aside from Sylvannas. Play it and then from then on one of your minion will get a 2nd chance at sticking for more than the turn played, which honestly is kinda insane because it guarantees board presence or your opponent commits more resources to deny you.
So hunter cards next expansion...not looking too good. Far as I can see, nothing here will make another viable hunter deck, and at the very best you can sort of assuming discover hunter will still be playable. Sad to say that aggro hunter will probably only be possible after rotation because at the moment, every deck plays zilliax and beast hunter is already doing the board based thing well enough that you'll never build it around maluk. Besides which, if youre gonna play an extreme version of an aggro deck, youd probably just play dhunter where it is far more viable and powerful.
Sorry all about the downtime the past two days. Card reveal season for Hearthstone always increases our traffic and when the stars align, stuff happens. This time around a long-term performance issue that hadn't really been that large of an issue took the site out due to some other changes on our backend.
It took some time to sort that out but the issue is resolved and steps have been taken so that the issue cannot happen again. Nirast was saying how every time we have a reveal season something goes wrong and yeah... he's not wrong.
I'm diving into some other performance related issues though this evening to help improve things even more since there are still a few slowdowns I'm seeing with the site, but the big ones are fixed and I'm glad for that to be the case.
Downtime is my #1 enemy.
