Here’s the Shaman and Druid questlines





quote:

Step 1
Lost in the park
Questline: Gain + 4 attack with your hero
Reward: Gain 5 Armor
Step 2
Defend the Squirrels
Questline: Gain + 5 attack with your hero
Reward: Gain 5 Armor and draw a card
Step 3
Feral Friendsy
Questline: Gain +6 attack with your hero
Reward: Guff the Tough
Guff the Tough
Taunt. Battlecry: Give your hero +8 attack this turn. Gain 8 armor

Shaman one is decent if you can pull it off but Shaman doesn’t have great draw so it’d only really work in a control deck. Druid one seems pretty bad but might work in an aggro style deck.

EDIT: Also new Rogue spell Garrote: 2 mana “ Deal 2 damage to the enemy hero. Shuffle 3 Bleeds into your deck that deal 2 more when drawn.”
8 damage for 2 mana is pretty nutty, especially since Rogue has so much draw.

druid one has gonk park panther synergy I guess but seems totally useless.

Shaman one honestly probably isn't that hard with Guidance and stuff.

I'm not a morally upright person enough to quit HS entirely since I enjoy it but yeah, no way in hell I'm dropping money on it now. I was really considering it too with how cool a lot of the new cards are.

New Warrior Mech



"After this minion takes damage, shuffle 2 cards into your deck that summon a 2/1 Mech when drawn."

Not really sure how to evaluate this. On paper it seems good but might be way too slow.

Hadn't really thought about it before but I guess Tradable is a support mechanic for "casts when drawn" stuff. Gives you more chances to trigger it without having to be cost and balanced as something that gives you card advantage

Now be a dear and
fuck the fuck off.
Something I’ve never really considered until I started playing it a bit more with the new reward track…

Is there any consistency or system to how cards are offered when drafting in Arena? I just played vs a Shaman most of the meta Doomhammer deck in Arena, and I managed to draft 2 Malygos, but literally two Spells.

I foolishly assumed perhaps there was some internal consistency, and there was an equal number of value cards offered per person…

Obviously hard to judge before seeing all the deathrattles in the set but even if they're good it seems a bit expensive to me. Probably some broken combo in Wild that could use this though.

I hope there's some way to shuffle more cards into your deck or else the reward is near useless. Might be worth playing just for the step 1 and 2 rewards though.

Would Soul Fragments count as drawn cards for that quest? Not that there would be any point reducing their costs.

[shrug]... if you play Loot Hoarder this is Arcane Intellect. That's not terrible in a vacuum, although I'm pretty sure Rogue has better draw options.

Yeah it's really hard to see how this works outside of OTK DH. Conceptually it only seems to work as a deck that is basically all draw (although since you draw 1 card for free each turn you need to manually draw 1 less than the stated amount) so the decks wincon needs to be pretty tight.

In wild you might want to play this in big rouge. It draws the kobold that rattles into a 1/1 copy of a minion from your hand. Obviously you want it to hit rag/sneed/lich but even if it just rattles into a 1/1 of itself you're not sad.

Cast when drawn, tradeable, and the existing DH draw packages should be more than enough for this.

The problem with Tradeable being used to trigger this is that by the time you have Kurtrus you deck would contain a lot of those Tradeable cards - are those cards good enough to justify the cost reduction? I guess we'll get a better idea later today when all the cards are revealed.

Tradeable seems like a good ability for DH, in that it makes it easier to position cards in your hand.

Oh, this wouldn't be the point unless they print absurd support for this. It's about doing an OTK combo. Eventually deck tweakers and testers will find the optimal number of tradeable cards for a decklist to have the best draw velocity while also not choking the combo.

This too! I'm already sensing an improvement to Spectral Sight because of this.

A scorching hot take would be that Glide might make it into specific decklists, but I'm not taking that one quite yet

It's now showing up as 5 hours from now for me. It's probably going to be hella awkward. Usually they get some famous hearthstone streamers, I can't imagine anyone wanting to fill that position this time around. There's also no way that the business-as-usual typically jolly/goofy manner these streams are done in won't feel extremely tone-deaf.

edit: or maybe that's just a pc gamer reveal and not the stream, hard to tell.
