FACTS

Great article as always. It’s funny that it seems the most non-interactive experiences in Hearthstone are led by mana reduction shenanigans. Stealer of Souls with current Quest Warlock, Incanter’s Flow in Mage… like you, I could go on forever. And worst is these matches, when watched, leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth. Saw lots of these during Grandmasters this past weekend.

If anything, Team 5 should read this when considering the upcoming nerfs. Mana reductions should be a prime target.

Agreed. Face Hunter just has to go face, doesn’t need a huge minion presence. I think so many people are trying for Quests that the face damage just snipes them off easily.

Yay! Handbuff’s back in Wild. Was getting bored of Odd Paladin.

This could be like Spell Damage Shaman and never really materialize. Doesn’t seem Machine Gun Priest strength level.

I am thoroughly interested to see how this affects Reno/Shadow Priest in Wild.

My dreams are crushed!

Not really, but it was fun in theory 😀

Forgot to mention that’s on the Coin, but still….

Maybe Blizzard thought it would too easy considering Bloodsail Flybooter. Then again…

Turn 1 Pirate Warrior: (in a perfect world)
Sky Raider->Parachute Brigand->Patches
Quest stage one done.

Turn 2: Sharkfin Fan-> attack to summon pirate 2.
Quest part two done.

Turn 3: Attack for another pirate from Sharkfin Fan, drop Bloodsail Cultist.

Turn 4: Trades where needed. drop Ship’s Cannon or Skybarge.

And then Rokara turn 5.

Easy quest. Pirate Warrior in Wild now has another wincon.

This is better for sure. That tradeable means you aren’t stuck with Silence in hand when you really don’t need it. Great tech card.

This card is …. Nuts.

I’ll leave now.

Hmmm. Could see Handlock having a ball with this in Wild.

Turn 4: Mountain Giant
turn 5: This and 16 damage face.

Odd Hunter in Wild:
“Excellent.”

Did Blizzard not learn their lesson from Gonk Druid back in Rastakhan? Face Druid sucks.

Shamanst….i mean Hearthstone is looking fun these days. ????

I am not sure this fits in Darkglare. In Handlock or Reno? Certainly. I also agree this will be strong (Corridor Creeper anyone?) especially since Backfire is a thing. Realistically though that means you can’t drop this until Turn 4 at earliest. And there’s one copy. It depends on how the Standard meta rolls out but i bet Wild decks are glad to have it.

I know one thing: someone in Wild who plays Rogue will try this and people will hate on it way too hard. But it will be hilarious when it actually wins.

Blizzard: “we’re gonna print less Discover!”

Priest: oh yeah?
