WHOOP WHOOP! My new personal best! I can always trust good old, dependable Tempo Mage to cut through the meta rabble like a hot knife through butter. I might actually go for Legend this season since I'm trying to earn gold for the expansion anyway.
Duelyst has new card that's vanilla premium stat minion that its cost reduced if you get face damage at opponent last turn

um.. what if Priest get card like that yall gonna pissed?
I'd love to see that as a Priest card, getting the tempo swings you sometimes see with Nerubian Prophet would help shift Priest away from completely passive play.

stop it blizzard, discard warlock will never be a thing.

not impressed with any of the class cards so far, hopefully there are 3 of them for each class at least.

discard warlock, taunt warrior, thief rogue, shadow? priest. all of these comically bad attempts from Blizzard and they still don't give up to try something else, the concepts are fundamentally unappealing.

Shadowpriest is far from unappealing. Execution of the archtypes is one thing (and currently it's not being done very well), but I'd certainly not deny playing it in the future if the right cards were added. It also makes sense from a lore perspective whereas other thematic archtypes are less obvious (Murloc Shaman). Also helped that I played some Shadowpriest back in Vanilla WoW.

^ Ouch!!! I love that card in this week's Brawl

Brawl has been kind to people thats still trying to accumulate cards & dust. Been getting to tinker with these Shaman legendaries too which is coo. I dont have any of those. Granted its in a random setting tho

Doubt that would see play. A vanilla 1/3 is a bad stat line and there aren't enough good discard effects to make it worthwhile to run this over higher quality Warlock 1 drops.

It's not really worth a card space in constructed, nope. cool art though, whatever.

Only one mage card left, I'm worried about mage lol.

I like the imp. It's tunnel trog good.

It's not that good because it doesn't grow in stats when you discard. Also I'm not sure if it draws multiple cards if you discard 2 cards like Doomguard. It would only be "good" if there are more OP discard cards added, but even then the card itself wouldn't really be good but it's just there to supplement the deck.

wow in these lower ranks (up to at least rank 16)- there are so many priests.

[edit] yep encountered another priest. This time I went to ranked and use a better late game deck to smash his face in and made sure to nuke that one card that turns their heals into damage

The mage card is a pretty similar power level to Raven Idol. It trades choice for a 1/1 body, which can then contest a 2-drop with a ping. It's definitely playable in tempo or reno mage. It's also similar to Webspinner.

would it be mean to quote the gafs dissing the new cards? Cause when the new adventure rolls out I would hazard a guess some of these new cards will become staple.

Look at all those vids where the pros dissed the WoTG cards now they're all backpeddling like nobody's business lol

(joking bout quoting gafs btw)

Discover is pretty big though. You can pick situational cards or strong cards. This gives you crap.

There are only like 2-3 mage spells that are bad. Shatter, Ice Lance...maybe Arcane Explosion. You're pretty happy with anything else, even stuff like Cone of Cold and Dragon Lance.

Mage spells are good but the question is usefulness, not everything is useful.

Look at this way, you're putting this card in your deck instead of an spell, the 1/1 body is worth nothing, you're essentially paying 1 more mana for what that random spell would cost. Instead you can just play the spell that has synergy with your game plan.

This card would make sense in some battlecry mage deck or reno grinder mage where you might play brann or something and can stall the game, it's not a tempo card at all, it doesn't create any tempo, it's pure value card and it's competing with a whole bunch of other value cards mage has right now which don't see much play.

Comparison with webspinner is irrelevant, webspinner created synergistic cards in a class that had no card draw or value generation at all, that's not true for mage, webspinner otherwise wasn't good, it was just the best thing hunter had.

The Mage 1/1 reminds me a bit of N'zoth's First Mate, just not as consistent.

You get an extra spell to buff a mana wyrm or power up your Yogg and a minion on board that'll eat a ping, not the worst thing the world.

The Warlock card seems bad. Zoo doesn't want it; they empty their hands before playing soulfire or Doomguard, and a 1/3 without Taunt doesn't help them much. I don't see Renolock getting much use out of it either.

I starting to think that mage one drop might've really good tbh because its so cheap like if you drop this at mid game, you potentialy can use the card that its drop at same turn resulting intermediate answer for the board.. its can be much faster than arcane intelect or acolyte of paìn.. raven idol can be so broken if its maģè card this card not as good because its drop ràndom card but its still 1 mana cycle to mage spell that seem.. really good isn't it. I dunno at very least worth to try to some tempo mage that still use acolyte tò use this card ìnstead

You all are thinking the wrong way about this mage card. It's not meant to be good or useful. It is meant to help service OUR LORD AND SAVIOR YOGG-SARON. ALL PRAISE YOGG.

Casino-Yogg Mage is real and I believe in it.

The mage card is good, since it's basically webspinner for spells, but I'm not sure which deck would play it.

I'm not so sure about the imp. 1/3 for 1 mana are really goods stats, but current zoo deck don't play many discard cards.

Combos with Doomguard pretty well, but I agree. Won't see much play. I assume it doesn't work with Deathwing.

So I just bought 40 packs of classic hearthstone, I am pretty new to the game though.
Is there any guides for new players because on hearthpwn I see all these decks but with insane cards I do not have.

Just add budget to your search.

All of you guys theory-crafting Imp of Malchezaar and saying it's useless and no good without knowing what other cards will be added is like saying Tunnel Trogg "won't see much play" without seeing Totem Golem and Flamewreath Faceless.

Yes that's what I said, the card is potentially good but people are just outright dismissing it without considering how it can see widespread play if there are other powerful cards added with discard mechanics. Just like how Mechwarper would be a garbage card if Mechs were weak or weren't available at the right mana levels. Mechwarper would be completely garbage right now if it was taken from GvG and put into Standard but with none of the other mech cards.

Do you mean dust cost?
Do you mean on heartpwn, I can't find it for some reason.


When you're searching for a deck to build on hearthpwn, choose the class you want then put budget in the deck name search field.

Do you have innkeeper to upload your collection to hearthpwn?

People in this thread can help you assemble a deck without a lot of high end cards. Warlock and shaman are probably your best bet.

Most of the people here are positive about the card (rarity being the biggest issue), so I'm not even sure why you are complaining.

Oh I see thank you for the clarification, no I don't. I'll check that now. Thanks!

Sorry for the noobish questions.
