It’s actually the opposite; you use this, get a 5/5, and immediately get your shield back. I’m more curious about the interaction with Kotori. Is another minion with DS required to get two 5/5s? Is the game smart enough to target them?

Is this confirmed?

As for your question the card reads to me like it can only convert 1 Divine shield not ALL your shields

Leo Robles confirmed it, yes.

It’s single-target by default, but Kotori Lightblade could conceivably copy it. Say you have Kotori with DS and another minion without. Will the copy do as much as it can and summon a 5/5, or will it be “countered” due to lack of DS on the other target? I assume the latter, but there’s always the chance of a discrepancy between what the card says and how it’s coded.

Unholy just keeps you busy with swarming the board anyway. Now, if you miraculously survive against them until T9, they got a surefire closer for whatever little health you've left at that point. It helps that they can have sticky minions as well with reborn and 1/1 deathrattle summons.

They already had a surefire closer in grave strength tbh, this new legendary is way slower and more unwieldy than current unholy finishers imo

Been playing for a week or so and having some fun.

This guy has been kicking my butt though



Makes me really appreciate MtG's exile mechanic

That aside, I've been having the most success with the Paladin starter deck. It's very straightforward, reminiscent of WW strategy I'm familiar with.

I did not get credited but Swizard is cool and Out of Cards apparently completely lacks an editor so I did a 10min first rough draft on their latest article and then they published it before I could be all "oooh noooooooooooo please stop no" but the response has been positive and the deck is solid.

https://outof.cards/news/6090-even-druid-wild-hearthstone-full-deck-guide-on-the-wildest-of-weekends/

Check out their other stuff, they're one of the funnest players. And they take advice from me so you know it's good.

Finally, a use for Hedge Maze! Plus, they’re both Beasts, so Peaceful Piper can draw them. And Undying Swarm can resurrect a bunch of them.

It seems like it’s be pretty easy to get yourself into a position where your hero power is basically the Druid Questline reward every turn. This deck looks kind of sweet.

Druid has ways of ressurecting small minions. Could get quite big.
Also new core set has cast spell twice spell, so you will be able to summon boards of these fuckers.

At least I don't dance with them, right?
I just wonder how it's going to work with other hero powers, either from playing a hero card or stealing one of those with something like Identity Theft. Could you get a Guff hero power that also gives you a bunch of attack and armor? Could a Priest's hero power become "heal a target for 2 and then gain X armor"? Or is it like Wildfire and it just doesn't do anything if you don't have the stat it's affecting?

Druid cards look cool, big flavor failure though. Hippie music-> buffed hero power is strange. Dormant stuff would make more sense.

the way it's phrased as "one more Armor/Attack" makes me think that it only works with a hero power that gives attack or armor

so it might work with eg Kurtrus Demon-Render

It works like Wildfire, in that it only increments a power that already does it. It doesn’t add the effect to one that doesn’t.

I just had the most bullshit bug I've ever encountered in this game. I summoned Marrowgar from a countess invitation, the rope hadn't even started burning when I played him, it summoned 3 guys who were massively pumped because I had 26 corpses, one of them had the perfect amount of damage to kill his massive unit, which would have left me with all 3 on the board plus the rest of my board and it just wouldn't let me rush any of them. The rope started burning after they'd all been summoned and I had to just let it burn down while being unable to use any of them to hit his dude.

I've become a lot more chill about games as I've gotten older and I work in QA so bugs shouldn't phase me but... drat that's made me quite angry.

People are going to go back and forth on how the mill effect doesn't matter because it could burn their least important card instead of their most important card or whatever, but I think it's always relevant that you're causing them to skip a draw. Possibly burning a good card is just gravy.

Mill should always matter, because by definition, your opponent should be putting cards in their deck they want to play.

Yes but unless your opponent draws their entire deck there's no real difference if you mill a key legendary or if they just don't draw it.

Or if they have tutors I suppose but I don't think Hearthstone has many.

It is real fun to see you milled an important card, though.

That's true. The HS devs surely took Solar Eclipse into account when making the card, but I'm honestly hoping there will be some cool interactions. I know it's more difficult to design a card that's worth playing without being doubled, without being too frustrating to play against when it is getting doubled. So I hope they don't take a cheap out like "set your maximum mana crystals to 15" or something.

The new Druid deathrattle/battlecry cards are stupid as hell. Assuming you don't multiply the effect somehow you can quite easily end up with a five attack/armor every turn.
