There’s also hold the bridge. That said given where the game currently sits the only one of those that looks playable is Drek’Thar. Objectives and hero cards are slow. Lol playing a deck where a 4 drop is your cheapest minion. Siphon Mana is interesting but worse than orb

I already hate Octobot 2.0; I mean Siphon mana. Other cards look cool. Cariel’s immovable object reduces damage by half, that’s not obvious on the card, but it’s pretty powerful.

Power creep that is beginning to make MTG look reasonable.
I think I’m done with Blizzard altogether.
It’s clear they no longer care at all about balance or fundamentals.

Siphon mana will be a lot harder to trigger and easier to work around.

What did i tell lmao, quest meta will be childs play.

5 mana hero cards lets go lol , cant wait to see the Mage card.

I’m willing to bet it will be trash by comparison, or if it is any good at all, it will be nerfed within a month of release.

If 5 mana is the lowest we get, it’s fine :joy: games are over by turn 7 anyways

(here before: start of the game, add this 1 mana herocard to your hand)

There is no way they could powercreep questlin- Oh they just powercrept questlines didn’t they?

Lol. No way in hell I am even considering buying preorder or spending gold on packs. Looks like BGs for me and maybe return to LoR or more likely to Pixwords :smiley:

I know it’s to early to say, but Guff looks kindof insane.

Oh, that makes Cariel make more sense. It’s a control card. I thought it was just another budget Jaraxxus.

I await 0 control finishers for Paladin and their best new minions to all equip you a Light’s Justice, because once again this is pretty trash if you’re being kept off the board. But at least I can see a hypothetical strategy this benefits.

edit: I’m a moron the hero power is a handbuff not a randomized board buff. This is actually pretty fantastic for synergies all around.

Battlecry: Spin the Wheel of Yogg-Saron

For sure :smiley:

Why would anyone play that over Runed Orb? Orb gets you value when hitting face or minions of any health. Siphon Mana needs to exactly hit a 2 health minion to get value.

Glad I chose Alliance then.

Legendary · Hero · Knights of the Frozen Throne · Battlecry: Transform your minions into random ones that cost (2) more.

Like that terrible card that saw no play? Druid is looking to end the game by turn 7ish why would they want to spend 5 mana on a hero card that is all about long term value

Going to be super easy to trigger vs minion decks. And it probably wins the game 80% of the time it triggers in turn 1 or 2.

Calling it right now Control will be insane , this is what was asked for right here so i better not see the return of backstabing of the archetype.
