Wait. New charge minion?

That seems crazy.

 

[thepotatoman]

I'm just worried about playing around it.

Seems like it could be lots of fun to play yourself though. Creating your own Yogg effect.

Do we know it has any RNG or is it like Rafaam where you always have the same options?

If it's like Rafaam, it's very possible to play arround. At worst it's rock paper scissors but you do have a little more info than that.

 

[ZealousD]

Patches is nuts.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

So yeah, they just showed a combo with Patches the Pirate and Gang Up.

Please don't become a thing lol.

 

[Dahbomb]

Anti-Zoo card. Interesting concept. You can potentially get it out to 2 mana. 2 mana 4/5 Taunt, not bad.

I hope there are more cards that share this text. I might play something like this in Reno Warlock.


Patches is actually insane provided you don't get it in your opening hand.

How do you get it to 2 mana?

 

[thepotatoman]

Moonglade portal and evolve nerf.



and brann, but brann leaves standard next set

Evolve buff if they play that card.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I like the 1/1 6 mana. Shadowcaster synergy. Shadowstep synergy. Brann synergy. This seems like a strong synergy card!

 

[georly]

Why is this not CHARRRRRRRRRGE?

Evolve buff if they play that card.

Shoot good call

 

[Novel Mike]

I like the idea of Patches will be interesting if theres other Pirate boosting effects in the set. As it is now it needs a loooot of setup to be really useful.

 

[inky]

Pirate Warlock ;P

 

[Dahbomb]

How do you get it to 2 mana?

LMAO fail math.

Ok 3 mana 4/5 Taunt, not as good obviously.

As it is now it needs a loooot of setup to be really useful.

What set up? You play Buckaneer turn 1 as Rogue and you get an extra 1/1. You thin out your deck. That's absurd.

It's an auto include in pirate Warrior at least.

 

[manhack]

Please don't become a thing lol.

Patches, gang up and Savage roar from swashburglar. oh baby

 

[Yaboosh]

It's an auto include in pirate Warrior at least.

With no way to boost?

At least rogue has cold blood.

 

[ZealousD]

It's an auto include in pirate Warrior at least.

It might be auto include in any deck that contains any pirates at all. You might just play it in Burgle Rogue because you're already running swashburgler.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Lol wow, patches is neat.

 

[Smooth Operator]

wow

I remember when people said priest was gonna OP when dark cultist came out. Talonpriest... I don't think this does that nor does it make priest a curve god. 3/4s 3cc have been consistently overreacted to and overrated in the past.



Meh, pretty negative gutshot!

Piranha launcher is like assassin's blade with a twist. I think hunter would run assassin's blade. This one leverages beast synergy. You still get 8 damage but you also activate your beast synergy cards without paying mana on subsequent turns.

Lotus assassin is NOTHING like giant sand worm. GSW is bad because it's so expensive and needs to survive a round to even start attacking. Lotus assassin has stealth, almost guaranteeing it survives to attack. Then it can't be finished off with removal if it trades.

Kabal talonpriest is not a strictly better dark cultist. DC could be played on an empty board on curve and then if it survives a turn, you can buff a 4 drop. Talonpriest requires you to already have board presence, something that is difficult to guarantee early on, especially as priest. And you're buffing a 2 drop on curve, much weaker than buffing a 4 drop. Plus no n'zoth synergy.

Hard to judge kazakus without knowing more information about what spells you can make.

I know a guy - since warrior cards will be favored to show up, you're getting ferocious monkeys, that 2/6 with enrage that is very playable, and the 3/2 taunt that gives another minion taunt. None of those taunt minions suck imo. Then you have a spread of okay neutral taunts, with a sprinkling of bad taunts.

Like I said, I think the Piranha Launcher's text is good. Just at 5 mana it's way too slow. You're gonna play this weapon to answer... what exactly? Muster was only 3 mana and you got instant value out of it.

I missed that Lotus Assassin has Stealth when you first play it. That does make it markedly better than Sand Worm. People are saying it's a better Tiger, which is true. But Tiger doesn't see any play except in Beast decks, so I'm not sure Lotus will see play either.

Talonpriest... OK, not strictly better. Usually better? Mostly better? At worst it's about even. It's a 3 mana 3/7 as long as you have a minion on board. That's pretty good.

 

[Yaboosh]

wow

What the f.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

 

[_DrMario_]

Still trying to make Taunt warrior a thing I see.

 

[Novel Mike]

Watching this panel and I swear I'd think this is more of an art panel rather then an expansion panel.

 

[FeD.nL]

Yup, the power level is increasing as expected. Well needed as well.

 

[bjaelke]

 

[Smooth Operator]

Ready for some Yu-Gi-Oh level of fukkery ?

Interesting

 

[Magnus]

Getaway Kodo + Tirion lol

 

[_DrMario_]

Lol at that Paladin legendary...

 

[Dahbomb]

wow

That's... potentially insane.

If it hits two minions it's like a better Nourish. So Living Roots plus this card on turn 4 is a double ramp.


That Druid Legendary is almost exactly what Kripp suggested to help out control decks. It allows you to play 20 mana worth of stuff in one turn (well more like 17ish because that card is like 7 mana).

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

wow

4 mana 7/7, step aside.

 

[Ladekabel]

wow

Druid will be alive and kicking. Me like. That's absolutely bonkers though.

 

[Magnus]

Ready for some Yu-Gi-Oh level of fukkery ?

Interesting

Yasssss


Edit - where are all these cards leaking from? Most aren't in the panel

 

[inky]

wow

Where are you getting these from?

 

[bjaelke]

how it works:

 

[Smooth Operator]

Where are you getting these from?

Here !

 

[Fersis]

wow

What in the h?

 

[Yaboosh]

So big revelations so far is dragon cards and a charge card. Both are sort of surprising to me, especially the charge card.

Wait, summon doesn't remove it from your deck? Now that's insane.

 

[inky]

Here !

TYVM!

 

[Kornflayx]

wow

0 mana 7/7, nice

 

[Yaboosh]

0 mana 7/7, nice

Lol.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

So if jade gets a discover rogue, shaman, druid card... that's like a pretty good chance for rogue to finally get a heal! lul

0 mana 7/7, nice

Assuming you can actually use all the rest of the mana (spoiler: you can, you're druid)

 

[snack]

So did hunter get stronger from this new expansion?

 

[Htown]

potion of madness is so sick

 

[Officerrob]

Happy that it looks like we are getting some good legendaries

 

[Dahbomb]

I don't get it... am I reading this incorrectly? Looks like straight up power creep.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Well, this seems insane.

 

[Razakin]

Wait, summon doesn't remove it from your deck? Now that's insane.

It was Gang Up'ped before that turn.

 

[Yaboosh]

I don't get it... am I reading this incorrectly? Looks like straight up power creep.

Especially for how little surviving power minions have in this game.
