I’d normally say “oh this would go in a Warlock control deck” but Warlock already has 3 or 4 better mid-game AoE effects so I don’t think yet another one is going to put control Warlock over the top.

Even in like a pure demon zoo, how often is 2 damage on turn 4 going to clear anything that you would care about? Which 3-drops is it going to remove or put you in a situation with 1, 2 and 3 cost demons to value trade?

I suspect a legendary or epic that will summon a big totem to synergize with N'Zoth, kind of like the Paladin weapon that summons an elemental

It’d be helpful against something like face/highlander hunter where you’re both aggressively contesting the board for the first three turns.

I took the pair, tripled into Lightfang the next turn, tripled into Amalgadon after, whiffed on DS on 3 adapts, then never saw a module for either of my mechs for 6 turns and took 4th.

New Paladin legendary Lothraxxian the Redeemed, a 5/5/5 demon (!) Whose battle cry is to make it for the rest of the game, any time you summon a silver hand recruit it gets divine shield.

Pretty nice sounding but I think Goru the Mightree had a better effect giving its buff to minions already on the board as well as having taunt.

It's cool that Lothraxion is finally in-game also. And I think part of his value is being a demon for new-N'zoth shenanigans. But it's the third silver hand recruits focused card in this set, so maybe there is a way to make a silver hand centered strategy work.

Lothraxion's mana cost is odd, btw. For all the wild lovers out there.


Edit: New card:

Malevolent Strike

5 mana rogue spell

Destroy a Minion. Costs (1) less for each card in your deck that didn't start there.

Drawing two cards is valued at 3 mana, so you're getting a 5/2 for 2 mana. That seems pretty strong - especially since the two cards you "draw" should be decently controllable.

The cards stay on the left / right sides as well, so presumably you're lining this up for cards that will have strong outcast effects.

Hello, friends. I'm looking to get back into this game after a year or so hiatus. How's the game nowadays? Good/bad time to jump back on? I remember enjoying Battlegrounds for a bit but I'd like to get back on the ranked and deck buildng part of the game but I'm afraid It'd be a costly affair since I have like none of god knows how many expansions now.

They're about to release a completely new system of rewards and stuff (https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23534414) so I'd say it's as good a time as any.

Standard will always be expensive jumping back in but at least you only have to worry about the current season of expansions, similar to how type 2 used to work in MTG.

I think control/handlock will experiment with it, the upside is it saves you a lot of mana over a full game with things like Abyssal Summoner, Enhanced Dreadlord, Khartut Defender, Batterhead and Scrapyard Colossus

the question is how good is that deck if you don't pull Deck of Chaos until the very late game when it's pretty much useless

I also expect to see quite a lot of meme combo experimentation, 4 mana Maly is obviously disgusting but you can also get 4 mana Kael, 4 mana Silas, 5 mana Sathrovarr, 6 mana Jepetto, and of course 1 mana Darkmoon Rabbit

After playing Duels for a bit, I’ve learned having 2 Mana: Summon something with a Divine Shield as your Hero Power is actually really good for Paladin. I honestly think it might be worth just throwing into stuff like Pure or Libroom.

There's also that Twinspell card from DoD that summons 2 Silver Hand Recruits with Taunt, which becomes pretty amazing with Divine Shields.

I'm not actually entirely sold on the Silver Hand package yet but it looks like it has potential so far.

Not worth putting gimmicky poo poo in like Mogu'shan that's awful without it.

As is for plot twist warlock there's some good candidates, but I'm not sure if it'll be good enough if you run Supreme Archaeology instead.

-Anansai Broodmother: -2 cost, +2 attack
-Enhanced Dreadlord: -3 cost, +3 attack
- Lord Jaraxxus: -6 cost, +6 attack if pulled with Willow
-Archwitch Willow: -3 cost, +3 attack
-Kanrethad Ebonlocke: +1 cost, -1 attack
-Keli'dan the Breaker: -3 cost, +3 attack
- Fel Lord Betrug: -2 cost, +2 attack

-C'thun the Shattered: -4 cost, +4 attack

Also I did say "no gimmicky poo poo" but it'd be kinda funny to put it in a midrange zoo with Shu'ma or something. :v:
