it's -1 stats for 1 more mana, comparing it to arcanologist makes it look terrrible. You don't compare it though bcause that card is OP

 

[wiibomb]

oh... oh I was thinking this was 2 mana, sorry... ok, this changes everything. not as good.

this is like -2 or -3 in stats compared to the mana cost (at least).

now I doubt it will ever see play.

 

[Yaboosh]

The mana is relevant too since you can't draw tirion and play him same turn. I imagine that is the main reason it is 3 mana.

 

[Grief.exe]

My guess is Blizzard ranks a minion with divine shield as higher value than Secrets, correctly in my opinion.

That would explain the change in stats and Mana cost over Arcanologist.

Maybe that slots into a control paladin deck, but I don't think it's powerful enough to warrant a space, plus control paladin generally runs Acolyte for card draw anyways.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I think this should have had DS both as a nerf to draw the other copy and to increase bolvar synergy

 

[Tacitus_]

that too

do you want to run more than tirion and wickerflame? Maybe the 3/2 charge for 4 turns out decent but then again any more DS minions dilute the pool of cards this can fetch.

I'm assuming that they will print some more divine shield cards since they're pushing it hard in the previews. Some of them might even be good.

it's -1 stats for 1 more mana, comparing it to arcanologist makes it look terrrible. You don't compare it though bcause that card is OP

And because secrets are kinda shit so they need OP support cards.

 

[Sheroking]

I agree with Firebat from the recent OmniStone though. Hunter isn't going to come back into the meta until it gets a better way to contend in the early game. It could really use another Glaivezooka-type weapon.

The Pirate stuff is going to take a big hit in the next rotation, and after that happens their early game is fine.

AFAIC, they can wait it out.

Less talkin', more rockin'!

Once they set the table for the casuals the stream should pick up.

 

[Gothos]

[veryslowhand]

they are losing me with all this talking

 

[Professor Lich]

[Tacitus_]

Well that's a start...

 

[Officerrob]

Wisp power creep

 

[Ladekabel]

Best card already revealed. Immune to Devolve and cutest art.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Rip Tiny Fin there is a new sheriff in town.

 

[gutshot]

Jeweled Macaw nerf

 

[Fersis]

Jeweled Macaw nerf

But look how cute it is!

Edit: What the h?!?! A good Rogue weapon?

 

[Professor Lich]

A decent weapon?

 

[Htown]

that weapon is not bad

 

[Officerrob]

Rogue got a good weapon

 

[veryslowhand]

rogue weapon very good

 

[Yaboosh]

That rogue weapon is insane.

 

[scarlet]

The lifesteal weapon

 

[Novel Mike]

Keep in mind its only battlecry, won't work the second swing.

 

[Tacitus_]

Blade Flurry died for this?

Spoiler

jk

 

[BlackBuzzard]

that is actually a good weapon.

 

[Professor Lich]

Just posting for people who can't watch the stream.

 

[Yaboosh]

Keep in mind its only battlecry, won't work the second swing.

Still insane.

3 mana 3/2 weapon is already playable. A huge upside makes it insanely good.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I don't understand why rogue is a weapon class in the first place considering how it clashes with the hero power.

Every weapon should be better than other classes get because they also read "you don't have a hero power".

 

[ZealousD]

Screen caps for peeps at work?

 

[veryslowhand]

now that is a good warlock card

 

[Yaboosh]

Defile is good against midrange paladin.

 

[Htown]

damn Defile can actually be fucking insane

 

[Miletius]

This gets around the "rogues can't have good healing" while still maintaining their health. I like it.

 

[Officerrob]

Defile seems very good

 

[Hybris]

rogue weapon is sick

 

[The Last One]

 

[Tacitus_]

I think they messed up and made a good warlock spell on accident.

 

[Professor Lich]

Hell yeah, best boss mechanic is now a card!

Now where's Shadow Traps?

edit: extra late

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

combined with posessed villager that's a 2 mana deal 3 to everything right?
