Monkey Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 19 new cards and patch changes on www.hearthpwn.com The following balance changes will be made in an upcoming patch: Soulfire now costs 1 (up from 0) Soulfire, along with fast and powerful minions, allowed Warlock rush decks to get ahead on the board and stay ahead. We’ve upped Soulfire’s mana cost by 1 to slow down the Warlock rush deck just a bit and allow more players time to react and interact against the Warlock. Gadgetzan Auctioneer now costs 6 (up from 5) Gadgetzan Auctioneer’s ability allows for a player to potentially draw many cards for little cost. Card draw and card advantage are important to the game—overall, games are less interesting when a player draws their entire deck. This change brings Gadgetzan Auctioneer’s cost more in line with its power level. Flare now costs 2 (up from 1) Flare allowed the Hunter an advantage versus decks that revolve around Secrets, while also allowing the Hunter to draw a card for little cost. We want to encourage a variety of decks in Hearthstone. With this change, Flare will continue to be useful against decks playing Secrets, but will be weaker against other decks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I wonder if Arcane Nullifier replaces Sen'jin in the Ramp Druid decks. Probably not, but it dodges a lot.My Priest senses are tingling at Shadowboxer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Holy s***, Anima Golem. That could potentially be freaking crazy. lol @ Nesingwary. Yeah, Shadowboxer looks sweet. Another good early game card for Priest. Vitality Totem, we finally have the ability to heal as Shaman again! Floating Watcher looks like it could be very good. Crush looks neat but I'm not sure it would see play since we've already got Execute/Shield Slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Btw guys, you may want to check again as they just updated with an additional 20! Favourite card of the set is the Druid card that creates 5 Wisps for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 "We have Scar and Mufasa for Hunter now."And also, I agree on that Druid card. That name is outright the most awful and brilliant thing ever. And 5 Wisps isn't bad either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Holy shit, the leaks from ages and ages ago was real (when Gallywix, Iron Juggernaut, Flame Leviathan and Vol'jin leaked). The majority were convinced that they were fake, on the basis that Iron Juggernaut and Leviathan looked insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hands down the most broken card of the set in my opinion. The only way to deal with this in most situations is to either ram it with a huge minion (at 6 mana I doubt your opponent has anything) or trade it with 2 mid-range minions (costing an average of 7-9 mana between the two) or 3 low-range minions (7-9 mana as well) so it becomes a solid 2/3 for 1, so at its worst it's still decent. In most cases they're going to use a spell + a minion, so for example if they use fireball + a 2/3 that's a 6 mana investment to 2 for 1 your guy, again a decent trade off as is, but on top of that you get a fucking fireball to deal with whatever the fuck they play.

Althemia Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Small note about Gallywix btw, since the more keen-eyed of you would have realized that the Coin would infinitely trigger Gallywix.Honestly all of the class legends bar a couple that we received from this set are incredibly good. Only one I think is not really worth it is Flame Leviathan tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest have pretty decent synergy with some gimmicks in their class so leviathan is pretty off-topic tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 GDI, I just spent a bunch of gold, expecting it to come out later...qq Well, this new stuff looks cool. Murlocs, Pirates, Wisps, and random 10 damage draw things...nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm in the middle of an arena run and have 800 gold saved up. I could've had way more but I haven't actually been playing much HS, I'll see how much I can get over the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think the only less than great Warlock card was Fel Cannon. All the demon stuff was good. Imp-losion seems like it'll find a home, Darkbomb is potentially better than Soulfire and is better than Shadowbolt, and Anima Golem will be good somewhere.

Shradow Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I could see Anima Golem being run in Handlock, to silence it with Owl maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well, the patch was implemented today. GvG cards are in the Arena. Got Dr. Boom and he won me at least 3 games Fun fact, you can grab the GvG cards from Webspinner, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
