All these +/+ effects just seem 'Meh' after coming off the Buff-Your-Hand mechanics in the GG's. Like, the card may get you to play more Stealth minions, but where's the payoff? You don't have one on the board, it's useless. You don't draw it on curve, it's useless. Meanwhile, Grimestreet cards feel like threats that build on top of one another. Buffs in other classes just seem 2-steps behind now.

Of course, these buff cards still pale in comparison to a 6-mana AoE, followed by another AoE, and then another. So Whoop-di-doo.

Grimegoons buff is way shittier than buff that you can target on board

I guess we'll see how well the concept works when the expansion releases, but I think buffing in the hand is way safer and valuable. If you can do both, then it's even better.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Grimy Goons will bear serious deck building constraints so you're not running out of cards to buff in hand and have to be middling enough people aren't teching against it.

i.e. conceptually flawed imo.

Forlorn Stalker has that extra Deathrattle condition and doesn't have as much value packed into it as the other cards we've seen. I think the effect is probably better in this expansion.

Both have their benefits, but the hand buffs are random which is a downside. I don't really want to randomly buff a powerful minion (e.g. Highmane) because it will just give hard removal more value for a minion they would try to remove already.

Cabalist's Tome gave me Blizzard, Firelands Portal and Pyroblast in Arena.

"A recent opponent would like to be your friend."

lol!

Y'all need to stop thinking of these cards in terms of how they can be slotted into current decks. A lot of stealth minions don't get played right now, because there's not a lot of reason to play them. If Blizz adds more reason to play them, they will be played.

This is the same reason why y'all were like, "meh spirit claws aren't that good, shaman has so many better options"

yeah a lot of people got so much wrong with karazan. was so much complaining that all the cards sucked and here we are... We now know to not put much stock into premature knee jerks

(granted I knee jerked to devolve too so definitely not saying I'm any better)

 

[Hero]

Is it even possible for Zoolock to beat Midrange Shaman right now? It feels like in addition to multiple effective board wipes their early creatures are better. It's absurd. I can't wait for them to be nerfed.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

So I've been playing off and on for a while now, but I actually decided to some time in learning some of the meta + watching HS on youtube.

Playing right now with a budget version of Pavel Temp Mage. Lacking Karazan expansion, and at this point I've been stuck around Rank 14/15 for a day now, and I can feel how the lack of some of the expansion cards are hitting me (stuff like deal 5 dmg, spawn a 5 drop), Babbling Book and so on.

At this point I think I'm just gonna get the expansion, because it's not rotating out till 2018 iirc, so it's not like I'm going to be jipped out of the cards in a month.

Any thoughts?

 

[Finalow]

that stealth rogue minion is crap simply because ''stealth Rogue'' isn't a thing now. it might see play in the future if they give the class good stealth minions or more cards with a similar synergy.
it works with Conceal, sure, but the current decks running Conceal don't really need a slow minion giving +2/+2 to one of the minions you're going to conceal. with Shaku? Ok, 2 card combo with a legendary, which very rarely happens to be in your hand in the first 3-4 turns. also Shaku can still be removed quite easily after being buffed and after you attacked once.

regarding Jade Golem decks, from the cards we've seen so far I'd say Druid has the potential to be the best one of the bunch.

 

[V-Faction]

Deathrattle, much like Stealth, is a specific condition. Paladin buffs and the Tri-Class card are all AoE +1/+1.

Both have their benefits, but the hand buffs are random which is a downside. I don't really want to randomly buff a powerful minion (e.g. Highmane) because it will just give hard removal more value for a minion they would try to remove already.

I think the buffs that hit all your cards will be the most successful. Next will be the single-target buffs (like Don Han'Cho) with HUGE numbers (+3/+3 to Taunt minions too). Last comes the random ones.

Cool cards like Rat Pack will benefit from either In-Hand or On-Board buffs, so that's the big winner here.

Firelands portal is a free card. Go to solo adventures. Click on karazhan. At the bottom there is a single encounter that is free and you get firelands portal + the druid 1 mana 2/2 for free once you beat it.

Now that dreamhack is over, they'll probably reveal.

 

[Portugeezer]

How many cards is each class getting in this expansion? Is it 9?

 

[cHinzo]

How many cards is each class getting in this expansion? Is it 9?

Yeah 3 per class. 3 commons, 3 rares, 2 epics and a legendary.

 

[Peléo]

Yeah 3 per class. 3 commons, 3 rares, 2 epics and a legendary.

Don't forget the 3-multi class cards, in case you consider them exclusive.

Blizzard really sucks at this whole card reveal thing eh?

hahaha, wow, didn't know they gave out free cards XD

It's not being revealed because not all the bars were filled, including the stealthed bar no one saw.

It would of been revealed but it got +2/+2 from that new Rogue card.

Well to be fair will still have a bar from last week to fill.

Pirate warrior is still a fun deck to play

Just noticed but Jade Idol enables Elise as a win con for druid.

The Jade golems will probably be better than average legendaries at that point.

Fair point. Legs are prob better from when behind.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I'm pretty bored while I wait for windows to update from a fresh install... where is the damn reveal TT

 

[Pooya]

I guess they fired the guy after the disaster last week, no one was there to flip the switch this week. rip marketing-kun.

 

[gutshot]

Blizzard's troll game on point

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Edit:

 

[JesseZao]

Can we just collectively ignore Pavlov Marketing from now on? Just reveal them steadily without faux-engagement counters. Even better, have everything release/reveal like LoE.

 

[ZealousD]

Fair point. Legs are prob better from when behind.

If you can last long enough in the game to get to the point where you play elise, draw the map, and then play the golden monkey, you are definitely up against a control deck and you probably aren't behind. Not that random legendaries can actually guarantee you to swing the game in a situation where every increasing jade golems would not.

 

[Yaboosh]

Lol do they really not show what a storm guardian is?

 

[ZealousD]

Ok. So Blizzard is 3 and a half hours late to this reveal and we don't even know what the card does.

Wonderful.

Fantastic.

 

[bjaelke]

A bigger Dust Devil.

Not that I can see. They might post it on the Facebook page later.

Edit: Here it is.

 

[zoukka]

Looks cool. If the guardian is super OP a 5/5 taunt isn't too bad for 5-mana although you already do have two 0-mana 5/5 taunts lul.

 

[Emerson]

We're really just not gonna show what the card does huh

 

[Dahbomb]

This card is really dependant on the Storm Guardian being insane because a Midrange Shaman player is going to look at that and be like "lul @ paying 5 mana for a 5/5 Taunt".

 

[Szadek]

A 5/5 taunt for 5 that gives us a 10/10 taunt for 5 since shamans clearly aren't meta enough already.

 

[frye]

Not that I can see. They might post it on the Facebook page later.

Edit: Here it is.

5 mana 10/10
