CARDS CARDS AND MORE CARDS

For my own sanity I’m using HearthPwn’s guide atm because I can’t sort the official site by class.

If you’d like to cover a card add your initial to the top left.

  • Rush minions trade for free.
  • More scared for Hunter than Demon Hunter.
  • Garrett likes

G

  • CRAZY
  • -Celestalon
    “Attack order is the order the minions were played. The attack from Trueaim Crescent is entirely independent of the minion's normal attack. They can attack before or after the Trueaim Crescent attack.”
  • Send minions face first, then get extra Attack value that same turn with a weapon swing.
  • Gorefiend synergy.
  • More attacks out of my Felmaw.

  • Token Options 
  • 2/2 taunt
  • 2/1 charge
  • 1/2 +1 attack

  • Hidden text: Always topdeck late game

Druid-Shaman

Covered: Lightning Bloom

  • Big wait and see.

  • Super cool. Probably skip

 

Hunter-Druid

Covered: Shan’do

 

 

  • Cool design. Probably not getting a slot.
  • BUT THE CUB GARRETT

Mage-Rogue

Covered: Wand Thief

  • Good value on average.

  • Exodia Mage hopefuls are stoked.

  • Important: Minion-only
  • Great for the spell pool for both classes.

4016

Paladin-Priest

  • Seems better for Pally at the moment.
  • Anti-synergy with Priest removal.

G

  • This is just a perfect card in Paladin
  • Thing from Below-ish for Pally.
  • Priest?

  • Seems weird in Priest.
  • Extra stick for Pally to throw buffs at.

 

 

Priest-Warlock

Covered: Handling & Brittlebone Destroyer

J 

G

  • Thank god is says “hand”

Rogue-Warrior

Covered: Steeldancer

 

G

G

Soul Fragment Card

G

  • A lot of the class-specific pay offs Destroy fragments.

  • Just good.
  • Hello Zoo.
  • This is the most emo card this set, 100%

Warrior-Paladin GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

  • Seems like a sure fire hit for both classes.

Regular Class

Demon Hunter

Covered: Cycle of Hatred

G

Star Student Stelina

  • I hate and love this.
  • Hey we get to talk card advantage.

  • Probably not playable but damn cool.

JGlide

  • Major disruption for combo decks.
  • Definitely good for aggro
  • Handbuff disruption

Druid

Covered: Nature Studies

  • Wow.
  • Reminds me of Kun.

 

 

 

Hunter

  • Very cool
  • Doesn’t really fit in current Hunter
  • Great if a big-minion meta develops
  • Literally no new damage spells other than Overwhelm… need something AOE! Maybe okay with rapid fire?

  • See Carrion Studies.

  • Nine Lives is still around. Discovering a Python seems scary.

G

  • Works with hand buffs unlike Alley Cat.
  • Can this replace Alley Cat in BG please?

Mage

Covered: Combustion

  • Okay on Curve.
  • Cyclone Mage players are stoked.
  • I think if you’re excited about the snowball potential of Hunter Ace then you should have some hype for this card.
