so, handbuff isn't entirely dead

 

[Blizzard]

I'm just going to screenshot the page for simplicity. This takes care of the rogue and hunter cards, still a druid card to go. I'll do another mass screenshot when they fill up more rows.

 

[Pooya]

some of those card have potential, man. Volcano -> Wicked Skeleton. That can be swingy.

 

[Professor Lich]

More cards;

 

[Officerrob]

Looks like a bunch of filler

 

[Pooya]

only card with spell damage is this set. disappointing, still you can give something with stealth spell damage and make a little malygos in there with brann lol.

I think the card could have some uses. It's not bad.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Looks like a bunch of filler

Yup, majority of the commons that weren't shown seem to just be pack filler that won't see play.

 

[Blizzard]

3 more cards:

*edit* I missed archerus veteran and tainted zealot somehow, I must have miscounted. Sorry!

 

[MThanded]

Only for your plebes that don't play arena. Neutral commons pretty much define arena play.

 

[wiibomb]

toxic arrow is a weird card, feels like what warrior wants to accomplish instead of hunter

 

[Blizzard]

only card with spell damage is this set. disappointing, still you can give something woth stealth spell damage and make a little malygos in there with brann lol.

You don't want a lot of spell damage flying around with mage decks already occupying 1-2 of the tier 1 spots.

 

[Pooya]

Gnash is like Bash but worse. I like to see its flavor text lol.


Toxic arrow is playable, it's kinda controllable and more flexible deadly shot, you're not at the mercy of RNG. It's not bad. They clearly don't want hunter to combo wild pyro. Can't even play it with immune. Pretty sure immune minions are not targettable with anything.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Did Paladin not get a secret this set?

 

[gutshot]

It's early game removal that scales into the late-game to be a form of hard removal. Cool card. Not really what Hunter wants though.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Keening Banshee just makes no sense. +1 stat point for a brutal drawback.

 

[Blizzard]

Did Paladin not get a secret this set?

Nope. And even if they did, Geist could delete all secrets in their hand and deck if they don't get set by turn 6.


Surely these have to be the final cards even with my miscount. Oddly enough, one is spell damage.

Tainted Zealot looks darn close to a pirate, but it's apparently not.

and that spell damage might be dangerous. it's cheap enough to make it with a combo card in a burn mage turn

Most of these are meh at best for arena play

 

[Crosseyes]

Uh... hmm... Wretched Tiller huh?

Didn't we just have a 1 mana 3/1 completely obliterate the meta recently? Maybe since it's awful at trades when attacking minions it's not as bad but...

Might be trouble.

 

[Professor Lich]

Just checked HearthPwn, they're only at 122. However, it looks like they're still updating.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Looks like the full gallery is up on the website as well. Probably the easiest way for mass consumption.

[Officerrob]

Keening Banshee is dumpster fire tier

 

[Professor Lich]

My total is wrong, I'm lost. Here's another card.

 

[Pooya]

lmao at balanced abusive sergeant.

edit: spelldamage minions! yes. they all suck!

+2/+2 over kobold for 2 mana? why would I play that.

edit: the divine shield guy is better than kobold for f2p thalnos replacement. It's ok.

 

[Professor Lich]

Looks like each class got ten cards;

• Three Uncommons
• Three Rares
• Two Epics
• Two Legends

Currently the site shows 90 neutrals.

That's only 126 cards!

 

[Karsticles]

Disappointed that Discardlock is still trash and Priest didn't get Scry.

Yeah I've given up counting, I'm lost too. Hearthpwn doesn't even have the +2 spell damage minion yet.

 

[JJH]

Doesn't look like control hunter is going to be a thing which kinda dampers their DK. Midrange looks to be their focus.

The site for me is showing 10 cards per class and then 45 neutrals.

90 class cards + 45 neutrals for 135 total which should be all of them.

 

[Professor Lich]

Oh, miscounted, whoops. Looks like that's all folks.

 

[Pooya]

I think paladin got lots of good cards, dark conviction is top tier card.

 

[Ladekabel]

Even with the changed packs I hope the next few expansions don't have double legendaries per class. Shit is expensive even if only a fraction is playable .

 

[Dahbomb]

IMO they have done an excellent job with this expansion. Even the cards that are generally vanilla pack fillers do something that makes them considered for specific decks (like 4 mana 2/4 summon 2 1/1s, that's a solid card for token decks).

My only real concern with this expansion is that Pirate Warrior still looks dominant, there haven't been that many good anti aggro tools this expansion unlike in Ungoro. Best option are Defile and a few life steal cards but that by itself won't stop PW.

 

[Dart]

Sucks for the person who opens pre-order packs and gets 3 legendaries, all three princes.

[Ketch]

Did they say for sure when it's coming out? When's the last day to pre order?

One of these days I'll have to post like 5 Pirate Warrior replays again. It still boggles my mind how people can succeed with it at the rank 15 / rank 10 floor against the sort of decks I encounter.

 

[TankUP]

Comes out Thursday.

Preorder goes away when the cards get patched in. They usually patch the game on Tuesday. So... today.

 

[Beckx]

Keening Banshee is dumpster fire tier

i kind want to make warlock decks just to give it to my opponent

or play a hot potato game with another warlock

 

[gutshot]

You can pre-order with Amazon Coins, right? Don't want to buy the coins and find out it's not possible.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Yes.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

You can, yes.

By the way, are you making the card rating survey thing again for this set?

 

[Nachos]

Also, I forgot to mention this, but it looks like they're updating the UI to have more information:

It'd be nice if they applied these changes to cards like Justicar, too.

Comes out Thursday.

Is that a new change? Brode also said Tuesday was the last day at first, but then it sounded like he wasn't sure if it was that or Thursday. I know I got Gadgetzan 15 minutes before the packs unlocked.

 

[sibarraz]

I feel like control hunter will be a thing in the next expansion

Btw, did they even release a card that supports hunter quest?

 

[gutshot]

Yes.

You can, yes.

Cool, thanks.

Yup. Working on it now!

 

[QFNS]

Cool, thanks.

Yup. Working on it now!

Awesome can't wait to go in excited and then get blown the fuck up by ZealousD and Dahbomb in the re-review later haha =)

Thanks though!

Well, Reddit is saying you can preorder up until the set drops. :shrug:

 

[Blizzard]

Unless somebody doesn't have the money on hand, there's no point in waiting until the last minute though. There's an 100% chance you can preorder today, and a less-than-100% chance you can do it tomorrow or Thursday.

 

[Owzers]

I'm hyped until I build a deck and lose, then net deck and lose.

3700 gold for packs, no princes please.

 

[Yoshichan]

what's up with the "no princes" thing?
