Also they seem to be pushing Zoo/cancer Paladin. What a shit-show.

Token druid too

And finally a new board clear for priest. Dragon priest might become ridiculously strong until BRM rotates out.

Eh, problem with Priest is they don't have good early game plays. Board clear cards that rely on drawing other cards aren't too ideal. First you need both cards in your hand, second you're eating up deck slots to include both pieces of the combo. Priest needs more proactive cards to be competitive. Not multiple reactive cards. That's why Dragon Priest is the strongest Priest deck -- you have quality plays on curve.

that 2/2 death rattle is fucking insane against aggro

the fact that you heal yourself prolly even outweighs the 1 point good ol' chow lost

Maybe. But the 2/3 is probably going to trade twice the majority of times versus a 2/2. The heal is meh. What you want to achieve with cards like that is take control of the board so Zoo-tards/Cancer-pallies aren't swarming you with six minions while you're praying you draw your AoE.

Some new and shitty cards:

Nice to see lower cost legendaries but considering this needs to be played later than turn 3 to guarantee any utility it's kind of bad. Unless there are some wacky new cards that lower the cost of your hero power.

For a legendary this is fucking awful. I can't really see how it's better than the 2 mana Undercity Huckster.

That Rogue legendary is unbelievably bad. What the fuck :lol:

It's strictly worse than the Huckster across the board. Hell, it's probably worse than Cutpurse too. Good thing they blew a legendary label on this for Rogues. :retarded:

Wow, talk about badmouthing a great card.

Rogue has a lot of unexplored design space since the Blade Flurry nerf and now they are exploring it to the fullest. Just see, you cranky naysayers! This is going to be the next big thing for Rogue!

Rogue also got the Counterfeit Coin which could be kinda broken in its own right, they can't have everything.

lol at that 1 mana 2/2.

ooOh loooook blizzard is lisetning they release antiagrro cards in every epxansiun!!!!

What, the game has problems with aggro? Sure, let's create a counter card that's completely boring and useless otherwise. Typical Blizzturd design: make OP cards then make cards to counter ONLY those cards.

And meanwhile, the great HS community is working hard on the next iteration of face shaman or hunter.

This is such a pathetic shitshow.

Edit:

lul and they're still doing windfury cards :lol:

Really, really sad.

That Rogue legendary seem pretty bad. Needs to be 2 mana 2/3 or 3 mana 3/4.

2 more Kazakus effects. The other 2 tri-class legendaries better be as good/interesting as Kazakus.

At this point I'm not sure, if posts like this are a joke or not. Maybe playing this game made me actually retarded.

Who's more retarded, the guy who plays Hearthstone or the guy who doesn't and spends time posting about it on a Hearthstone thread?

They really want to push aggro/flood paladin, don't they? Sometimes I just want to gut punch Ben Brode.

I didn't receive a new daily quest today, WTF Blizzard? Is this how Trump made America great again? :decline:

That's the point, I'm aware of daylight savings. I get a new NA daily quest at 10 A.M. in the summer and at 9 A.M. in the winter, and today a third quest didn't pop up.

EDIT: Oh, so NA turns their clocks twice a year like retards too, lol. I thought this depravity was limited to poorope only

Not really digging the theme of this expansion with these flood/+stat boost cards. Pretty vanilla.

Well, it seems like its the gist for the Goons triclass, since no class except hunter/warrior/pala has access to those. I'm quite sure (or rather, hopeful, we are dealing with blizzard here after all) that both Lotus and Kabal will also have their own mechanic.

I find the whole concept rather interesting, especially since a ton of new cards interact with it rather curiously. That hunter Kodo is pure case of awesome, and, remember that pala legendary? fucking pathetic, right? Well, imagine playing the +1/+1 1 mana spell on the first turn, then that 2 mana 1/1 minion (thats 2/2 now btw) followed by the pala legendary on turn 4. Thats 4/4 with divine shield, taunt and lifelink, for 3 mana, on curve. Aggro decks? Come at us brah. Also, they treat hunter, pala and war differently (pala minions buff the whole hand for small bonuses mainly, hunters buff random cards for more and wars seem to be buffing only taunts/weapons). This mechanic also seriously affects charge minions, in a good way.

As far as we have seen, this expansion brings a shit ton of new, interesting interactions and mechanics, everywhere. Sure, there is some vanilla filler shit, but, eh. Cards we have seen so far show that Blizzard wants to see more diverse decks - the aggro druid they've been pushing for ages, eboladin, and etc. And that's good. Some cards are pure fucking kind of awesome like that fucking 1/1 pirate (that shit is bloody op, just wait till functioning pirate deck appears) and I could write pages about Kazakus. The point being this - I'm actually sure that the rest of the set is going to be equally interesting and innovative (JUST GIEF US A NEW PHUCKING CTUN MINION, WILL YA?), what I'm worried about is 30 new decks spawning, but 2 of those totally dominating the meta.
