Hearthstone |OT8| Elise's Extremely Irresponsible Field Trip To Un'Goro

Yeah paladin doesn't look fun in this new expansion.
The dream scenario is turn 1 smugglers run into turn 2 double argent minibots which is pretty disgusting.
But overall looks like a low spell many minions with "no brain required" kind of deck. Maybe i'm wrong, who knows, just a first impression for now.
I think we need to wait for all the neutral legendarys to see if something can push other decks.

While OG turned out to be an expansion with a lot of problems, it also had some cool ideas.
I haven't see any of those for this expansion so far. Just rehashes and spinoffs.

It's a really strong deck. I think Tempostorm said if midrange Shaman wasn't as strong as it is that Secret Hunter would be the best deck in the game. I'm inclined to agree.

I see. I feel like the whelplings and the little dragons are a success as concepts.
Although, I can see the argument for not diluting the association of dragons with massive power. Slamming down a Faerie Dragon is not exactly epic.
The Mango Sentinel said:
I'm definitely guilty of priest bias here - no power word shield and no heal on it means it just dies. I tried it in a more tempo oriented deck (including abusive sergeants...) and it wasn't convincing at all.
Has much more merit in warrior etc now that I think about it.

I think Faerie Dragon is best against Mages. It does a lot of work against Freeze Mage, especially.
I'm having a lot of fun with this deck, works better than I expected, at least even though I havent played priest in ranked in a long time, it was still cool to get a win streak, even if was on rank 15 http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/zetalots-shadowform-priest-november-2016-season-32/
gonna be a pretty great target for kabal talonpriest

Will we get new c'thun buff cards?
Also stop with the murloc pally.

Kabal week incoming?
Soon Jade Lotus will be revelead.
Unlikely. And no, they won't. They saw how popular anyfin was so they made mega fin /Kappa
Wonder if they will make a Black Lotus card and make it ludicrously rare.

I'm thinking the Priest Legendary of this set is going to have a silence effect. Maybe silence all other minions, you can even play it in meme purify decks!

That's disappointing seeing as I think C'thun decks can be pretty solid. Maybe these buff cards can. Make them better
Wailing Soul but only for enemy minions! Also draw a card!

I'm ready for the paladin overlords. They added enough anti-aggro. Mistress of mixtures being a prime example.
I'm more worried about them not adding a healbot type card.
You mean mass dispel

Hogrider might be good enough. The other two though? Maybe the 6 mana 6/6 in a heavy control/combo meta.

That's funny, because the art looks horrendous to me.
Plus the cards are unplayable.

Turn 4 your opponent has just played solfire and discarded their last card. You play a 4/4 charge. Next turn they top deck void walker, play it, and draw several cards off minions and hero power. You play a 5/5 charge. The turn after that they play coldlight oracle bringing them to 6 cards. You play a 6/6 charge.
See, value every game.

Black Knight is a better combo with Sparring Partner. Nobody does that, though.
Yeah true.
Ah well at the very least these cards will perhaps see some use in some out-of-the box brews (hogleader in a mill deck?). Much better then another cycle of simple power creep.

I kinda want to test secret paladin without noble sacrifice in the coming standard. With the new secret getting a MC back into hand off the secret would be fun. Finley to change the HP as well.
I like these cards..
not because I think they are actually good, but they do something instead of being just blank fillers.
I also liked the art
I remember when Mark of the Wild was an auto-include in Druid just to activate Black Knight (or BGH).

Freezing is such a bullshit mechanic. I just played a Pirate Warrior as Tempo Mage where in 8 turns I kept him frozen for 6 of them. He couldn't do shit.
seeing this as a conditional charge, it could work better for them.. the dev team shouldn't be worrying about OTK decks ruining the meta
The lack of noble sacrifice really takes away a lot of protection you get from MC though.

I think hogleader could be a legitimate pick in a control deck looking to gain an edge against a combo deck. A 6/6 charge isn't a joke when you're running a deck that has limited healing and removing a 6/6 isn't easy in itself. It's a tech choice. It's also a good thing they are adding more choice oriented neutral cards rather than generally powerful ones (see naxx/gvg, shredder, sludge belcher, etc).

Those cards are neat
