Hearthstone Onyxia's Lair Card Reveals - Reveal Schedule, Full List of Cards From The Alterac Valley Mini-Set
All those miniset cards promoting Control and Late Game decks really gonna promote more and more Quest Warlock to be an oppresive deck.
But on the other hand, rotation coming soon, maybe Quest won’t have any access to cheap heal anymore.
Top Standard & Wild Legend Decks - Fractured in Alterac Valley Week 10 - February 2022
The more Hearthstone advances, they gonna keep making new expansion over-powering the old one.
We’ve seen the actual case, where 4/12 dragons with effects usually cost like 9 mana, and now we see it goes down to 8. Or even 10 mana dragons (8/8 rush + 12/6 rush) with effect beyond even the strongest dragons of all, Deathwing 12/12 with side effects.
2023, there’s gonna be a 7 mana 4/12 dragon with effects. Or 7 mana with bonker effects (Maybe even this year).
Drakefire Amulet
Wow, to do all the analysis.
But they add 2 more good dragons for Mage and Neutral. So, that must count to something.
And next rotation is near, they probably add more dragons. Although the chances of them adding weak dragon is also there.
So. yeah. Will you waste 10 mana to gamble 2 dragons? I’m not.

Only if you played first, and that’s 50/50 disruptions.
I’m talking about pure disruption, like a minion effect, “Enemy quest is disabled”
Or, spells like Quest can’t progress until next turn. But there’s no neutral spells, so minion is more likely.
Raid Boss Onyxia
Now this one’s battlecry and effect is worthy to be called 10 mana.
Total different from those 10 mana Iceblood Tower, or 10 mana summon 2 dragons.
Why can’t they think of something awesome like this with 10 mana.
Drakefire Amulet
You would think everytime you play this will always discover 9+ dragons? Nope.
10 mana really not worth 2 dragons on board.
The only effective dragon in Standard with immediate play is Runaway Blackwing, or Brasswing.
Probably miss a few other.
Or wait, this only discover dragon from Mage & Neutral only? Then it’s even worse.
Tooth of Nefarian
Deal 3 for 3 mana? So many bad cards this miniset.
It’s only effective when you trigger the HK. And in Control meta these days, 3 damage won’t have great effect. 2/5
Horn of Wrathion
Draw 1 minion with 3 mana?
Only effective in dragon deck. Dragon deck won’t be a thing until rotation probably.
2/5
Kazakusan
Will this break the game? Duels treasure aren’t meant for modes outside Duels. Hence I assume probably gonna trigger game breaking bugs.
Aside from that, people that don’t play Duels at all might be getting confused with how the treasures works.
Lastly, getting both part of Quel’delar weapon is a massive gamble. You mostly ended with only one part, because out of 5 choices, the probability is waaaay too slim.
Hit It Very Hard
Although in some instance, you could use Soulbound Ashtongue ability to deal 20 damage to enemy.
Play Soulbound, play Silas, Play 2xHIVH. Total 10 mana.
Hit It Very Hard
Read it wrong. It’s not giving any minion +10 attack, it gives your hero +10 attack & Can’t attack hero.
Probably not that useful. Unless you got immunity.
Pet Collector
Oooh, now they try to give a beast hunter a chance. Not back in Scholomance where you can pull 2 5-mana cost plus rush where it doesn’t see play at all. But now.
I don’t know which deck gonna be faster and popular, the face one, the quest one, or this beast deck.
Dragonbane Shot
2 mana deal 2? I may have to give this a 4 stars if this was actually a control deck card.
With hunter? I have no idea what deck to put this, since there’s a lot of better 2 mana cards that deal more than 2.
But with rotation coming up, I guess it will see play somehow.
Deep Breath
Cost 5 to deal 3? It needs more spells in hand? And It needs enemy minions to deal max damage?
Big NOPE.
1/5
22.4 Patch Notes - Onyxia's Lair Mini-Set, Diamond Vanndar, New Battlegrounds Heroes, Mercenaries Event And More - Coming Out February 15, 2022
15th. Yep. Called it.
1.5 months to go is still okay-ish.
Between next expansion announcement, new year roadmap and teaser, I bet we have 1 month in between. I just hope they push the Core set better.

Still no quest disruption tech whatsoever.
But overall, more dragon synergies means more dragons soon.
Lastly, gotta say that 5 mana cost Mage spell looks terrible and way too restrictive.
2 or 3 mana is probably the correct costs.

I don’t know if you’re joking or what. But Paladin achievement bug fixes is right there on the list.
Alterac Valley Mini-Set Teaser - Lady Katrana Prestor/Onyxia? - Announcement Tomorrow
Alright, dragon tribes incoming.
What else, what else? The coming of dragons may indicate we may get murlocs too.
Big Spell mage also needs…. big.. spells.
And of course more Choose One cards for Druid, since his achievements can’t be completed in standard alone.
To be fair, if it was the other way around, the ‘losers’ would have got both too.
So, No matter what you do, you could either finish the honor points until the end of expansion to get Drek’thar for free, or you could craft the non-golden one.
I usually go for the free one.
