Heal rag was a meme. Super good back in whispers because of the meta. He is pretty trash now. He is outclassed in wild and would not survive in standard.
If singleton decks manage to get going AT ALL, Jaraxxus is going to be a completely dead card from now on. Zyphrys will always simply offer Sacrificial Pact.
@@vedmaburuxova68 Probably it will because it's lethal since the card is trying to give you the best option and killing your opponent is the best option so if AI is not broken it will give sacrifical pact against jaraxxus
If it's basically the same as the naga sea witch (still eternally salty that It was nerfed into the ground while barnes priest ran rampant) then itll get treated the same and get removed the following turn 9/10 times. So odds are you still only get to play one 10 mana spell for 5. You can then the next turn pyroblast but I mean the only change is a 5/5 they have to remove. Is that worth a spot is the question?
Sure, Zephyrs the Great *looks* powerful. But I'd like to remind everyone that it's being guided by the Blizzard AI. In other words, it's slightly more reliable than a computer with a broken internal battery.
The AI used for predicting what card to give you and the one actually ‘playing’ against you is a COMPLETELY different AI. The AI used for Zephyrs has a pretty simple job so I think it’ll do just fine.
Controlling rogue my ass, that quest is literally made for aggro rogue. Most cards that add stuff to your hand from other classes are already pretty good and the hero power is strictly better than the upgraded Baku one.
Every rogue will play the quest. Is a 1 mana spell, fox and pirate are really good to play in any deck, you will going to need some other card to get the requirements, but seems easy.

@@MegaKratos97 exactly, druid and rogue Quests are underrated as fuck, they basically auto-complete themselves, the druid quest is on the broken side vs Control decks
23:52 I think Kripp is undervalueing how powerful Mogu Fleshshaper is, with just an evolve lackey off of evil totem or mutate you can rush it into a minion and evolve into an 8 cost for almost no mana.
MainUkraine he’ll probably talk about that when he does the full class reviews. He’s probably just going off the top of his head and hasn’t memorized every card and synergy in the new expansion
Octosari the hand reload. It's like a higher tempo azalina soulthief for aggro decks, but your reload is from your own deck, so you know what they can be to some extent.
I just thought about it, you could kind of make a funky malygos priest deck with penance, holy smite, jepetto joybuzz, and of course malygos. Step 1. Jeppeto pulls malygos and sets him to 1 mana 2. Have 2 copies of penance and 2 copies of holy smite 3. Play malygos for 1 mana, both penance for 4 mana, and both holy smites for 2 mana. That’s a 7 mana combo - Malygos spell damage bonus (3+5) + (3+5) + (2+5) + (2+5) = 30 4. Win (if they don’t have armor) Hope you enjoy
Iv been waiting for the card reveal to be uploaded by blizzard cause I don’t want to hear Kibler ramble for hours even if I like him - praise the Kripp
Blatant Decoy could be a combo destroyer as well if there was a combo deck that relies on a cheap minion. It would bring out a fulle lowered Shirvalla for example so that you can kill it before it gets Baleful Bankered.
28:24 Hey Kripp, some combos this expansion involve a handful of low-cost minions, each of which are necessary for their respective combo. It can be a reliable combo breaker against those decks.
Dune Sculptor is nice it fits into current mage decks like Khadgar summoner mage. Nothing special I know but I like that they also try to bring stuff for decks like for example Leeroy Rogue and Secret mage
rogue quest isn't only for control, and is like the easiest to complete... like turn 3-4 you could have completed it already. this for a +2 attack to your weapon and immune... sign me in! For sure can be much more than control. you could use the weapon to smorc at your hearts content or to kill taunts (to then smorc!)
OctavianHero what are you doing turns three and four to complete the quest because if you’re using the cat or the 2 mana spell you’re not having a fun time being aggressive
You can put Unseal the Vault right into Mech Hunter and not loose that much tempo and still be able to complete it really quickly between all the microbots and bombs that are generated in that deck.
The Vulpera Scoundrel's mystery choice doesn't actually take up one of the 3 discover choices. You get 3 discover options plus the mystery choice which is just any random spell. The mystery choice can be situationally useful if all the discover options are bad and you need to roll the dice (hence the artwork).
phalanx commander will be better than it seems. with just 1 taunt (which the enemy has to get through to kill it), it is already worth a yeti. not great, not terrible. if the opponent can kill the taunt but the commander stays up, the next taunt (speaking of taunt decks/warrior), will gain the effect, and it has given 2x2 attck already. thats worth. lets also not forget the "low attack high HP standoffs", when both players have taunt minions and are in no timely rush to get through them. they taunts often just sit opposing each other and nobody attacks. this card, just by existing, breaks that stalemate, you dont want your opponent to accumulate more taunts, as within a turn that can turn sour immediately. this makes taunt walls more dangerous and the opponent has to deal with them faster, even if theyre just 2/6s or 1/4s. itll be a great arena card, and will even find its way into some tier 2 decks, by definition thats a 3-4 star cards
Taunt warrior will be broken with this bloodlust effect, exactly what it needed since they already announced some low cost minions with taunt or that generate minions with taunt, add the buffs...first deck to build
Octosari is great in decks that want to clear out their deck.... you have a lot of options to instantly trigger the dr. In those cases it can be great.
The dream for the new hunter deck is, u don’t trigger ur quest until u play zuljin first, then let ur spells trigger that summons minions, it will also help u to complete the quest. Once the quest is complete, the new hero power can replace zuljins one
Power creep is real boys! Shrinkmeister was a 2 mana 3/2 that gives 1 minion -2 attack for a turn, and was a class card! Quicksand Elemental hits all enemies and is neutral! Shrinky Dinks wild Priest is back! Can't wait to try it with Shadow Word Horror and Cabal Shadow Priest.
I would just play quest in regular tempo rogue. You already run Blink Fox, Hench Burglar, and you'll run the new Rogue spell that adds random non-Rogue spells to your hand, so you can finish the quest and use the weapon to help close out games or stay alive while looking for your Leeroy.
I wish more card reviewers had Kripps speed of analyzing cards, it’s always short, sweet, and to the point. Some of the other reviewers drag out the length unnecessarily so it’s a refreshing change of pace.
Zephrys being an elemental is actually hugely relevant. Sandbinder is still in rotation, thus you only run one elemental: zephrys. Zephrys being as powerful as it is, a personal tutor is much needed, especially in a highlander deck.
I know that this is not how it works, but the wording of the rogue quest reward's text would imply that it is the *weapon* that is immune while you attack. It irks me to no end.
Elemental is great For Zephrys. You can tutor it with Sandbinder. Even if it's not on curve, Zephrys will get you what you need at any stage of the game. If you draw Sandbinder afrer wards, you hopefully already got the perfect job and you don't need a draw.
Also, Zephrys only offers classic and basic cards. The card pool won't go up with more expansions, but it can change if Blizzard rotates some of those card into the hall of fame and they replace the rotated cards.
24:06 .... I know you were on a tight schedule here, but don't forget to glance over the fact that Lackey Shaman will be a thing: Lots of 1mana minions + evolve lackeys. Works wonders here.
Rogue quest is easily good, your hero power becomes a fiery war axe with candleshot text. While fiery war axe was important for removing early game minions, I still see slotting in the quest draw card and it being a competitive deck. Maybe not the best rogue has to offer however.
Pit Crocolisk might be good enough to be a late game minion in Quest Shaman. It's a potential 10 damage to the face to close out the game. Very powerful turn 10.
23:56 well, u've seen rabble bouncer in some mage deck thanks to conjurer's calling. This card is the same for shaman with Mutate except you might make an advantageous trade before evolving
Octosari in Mecha'Thun seems pretty good since your deck will already have a way to kill your own minion, you can use it on this in the late game once you have your combo pieces in hand to quickly draw out the rest of your deck.
I chuckle at people overlooking Totemic Surge this hard. I think it's gonna be great. Buffing all your totems from out of the blue can make for some sick burst. Just doing Surge on 3 totems is like casting three Blessings of Kings, that's solid and it's 0 mana. It's also like a double Savage Roar which often has been a game winning play (granted, for totems only). Slap some buffs from Vessina ontop of that and you've a lot of finishing power using just totems.
Regarding Faceless Lurker, I don't even think it's ok. Fen Creeper if I'm not mistaken is a sub par arena card, and Faceless Lurker is basically that card where the extra health stats can be silenced.
Rogue Ancient Blade > Hero quest is op. It's so easy for them to finish that quest within the first 5 turns and bam! extra damage and board clear while immune = OP, even for fast decks.
My winners of this set: Druid, Rogue, Priest, Mage All of them have some pretty solid cards, some of which are potentially super broken, and not a lot of chaff. Most of the neutrals are pretty good this time around, especially the commons. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Zephrys is damn cool I'm sure he'll be played in most Reno Wild decks and we'll have to see if he's strong enough to merit a highlander deck in standard 18:16 If we can play 2 quests in one deck I'm definitely playing this in my Marsh Queen deck. Complete Marsh Queen play her (preferably with Elek) then her brood will complete Vault and be ready for that sweet buff 😄 22:48 Talk about making the quest easy to complete 25:27 It should be a 3/4 like the other 'affect both players equally' cards come on now dev team :/ 27:58 A common Maexxna with +1/+1 for 1 more mana... 31:20 I would of made this a 3/3 and give Mischief maker the 3/4 statline 33:01 This is a fun card I'm pretty pumped for this expansion!
Blizzard: We sent Vanish to hall of fame because that card gives good control to Rogue and thats not the archetype we want for this character. Also blizz: We gave rogue more options to send enemy minions to opponents hand and a new permanent invulnerable weapon when attacking. Because this class is lacking control. Ffffffffffffffffff***!!!
This expansion seems really cool. But then there's Boomsday expansion still in play. Oh well. Have to wait till 2020. Also there are a ton of tiny little bugs crawling all over the screen around Kripp. I need to get my house bug bombed. 👀👀👀
Octasari is great for Mecha'thun rogue. Mecha'thun rogue is also getting the 5 mana make all deathrattles 1 mana 1/1's. This guy could be a 1 mana 1/1 Deathrattle draw 8 cards in a deck that wants to empty their deck as soon as possible. We could be seeing turn ~8 mecha'thun KO's with the addition of Anka and Octasari. High potential.
Just imagining: Turn 5: Play Anka with Mecha'thun and Octasari in hand. Turn 6: Play either Octasari or Unstable Element Turn 7: Empty your hand, which likely consists of low cost death rattle minions. Turn 8: Either repeat last turn, or play mecha'thun and win. Edit: This also reminds me of a deck that Disguised Toast experimented with in the early days of a previous expansion. It used Hooktusk to thin your deck of pirates, and the deathrattle pirate that had rush and draw combo card for even more card draw. Rogue has plenty of ways of thinning their deck very fast. Anka makes mecha'thun easier to play. Octasari is even MORE card draw. Mecha'thun Rogue is a real possibility this expansion.
Pit Crocolisk is better than it seems- it's not a spell, so it can target characters that are immune (not terribly common, I admit, but can still sometimes show up and be really annoying if you don't happen to have an answer when it does).
no1bro not only that in could be discounted, the copied twice with hunting party, then shuffle more in with dire frenzy, then play zuljin, easy 50 fatigue damage
it wont... bomb warrior needs to shuffle 3+ bombs to grantee dups in deck meanwhile very aggressive new hunters will be very happy for the free wins. but it may be dead just cause the new no dup cards are not as good as back in the day...
17:25 this quest is a joke we had dinomancy for 2 mana with +2/+2 effect and it wasn't good, i know it was just for beasts, but this is hunter we are talking about.
Holy ripple is pretty darn good in meta with reborns and divine shields. Good in the early game for small removal. Good in late game for reborns and divine shields.
I miss these. Kripp is now BG exclusive, but i miss standard and i miss arena Kripp. Ill still watch but man this is a blast from the oast that i miss so much.
Blatant decoy seems kind of absurd to me... the usual problem w these symmetrical card chest effects is that your opponent gets to use their effect first, but since they are forced to kill the decoy or take 5, you will get access first in those scenarios. Idk what combo it would be but I have a feeling it’s gonna be somewhat strong
Compare Pit Crocolisk to Deep Sea Kraken, one less Mana for two more damage is really good, smaller body but you usually used Kraken in arena for the battlecry to remove something anyway.

It's goin' NUTS.
BRUH
@@lucasalves1406 bruh
Krip is ignoring the fact that taunt warrior could be insane and all these taunt effect cards are being underrated by Krip...
Well they pushed taunt warrior hard back in the day and it didn’t work out, although these cards seem a lot better.
Agreed I think it will be a fantastic deck
MainUkraine he’ll probably talk about that when he does the full class reviews. He’s probably just going off the top of his head and hasn’t memorized every card and synergy in the new expansion
Hyena 4 mana 7/7. The tradition continues.
Zephrys will be my day 1 golden craft
Solem god
Octosari the hand reload. It's like a higher tempo azalina soulthief for aggro decks, but your reload is from your own deck, so you know what they can be to some extent.
have you guys noticed? OCTOSARI got 8 letters!!!!
:0
And you've 8 likes... I mean had... Had 8 likes. *Mwahahahaha!*
I just thought about it, you could kind of make a funky malygos priest deck with penance, holy smite, jepetto joybuzz, and of course malygos. Step 1. Jeppeto pulls malygos and sets him to 1 mana
2. Have 2 copies of penance and 2 copies of holy smite
3. Play malygos for 1 mana, both penance for 4 mana, and both holy smites for 2 mana. That’s a 7 mana combo - Malygos spell damage bonus (3+5) + (3+5) + (2+5) + (2+5) = 30
4. Win (if they don’t have armor)
Hope you enjoy
Iv been waiting for the card reveal to be uploaded by blizzard cause I don’t want to hear Kibler ramble for hours even if I like him - praise the Kripp
Blatant Decoy could be a combo destroyer as well if there was a combo deck that relies on a cheap minion. It would bring out a fulle lowered Shirvalla for example so that you can kill it before it gets Baleful Bankered.
28:24 Hey Kripp, some combos this expansion involve a handful of low-cost minions, each of which are necessary for their respective combo. It can be a reliable combo breaker against those decks.
Dune Sculptor is nice it fits into current mage decks like Khadgar summoner mage. Nothing special I know but I like that they also try to bring stuff for decks like for example Leeroy Rogue and Secret mage
rogue quest isn't only for control, and is like the easiest to complete... like turn 3-4 you could have completed it already.
this for a +2 attack to your weapon and immune... sign me in! For sure can be much more than control. you could use the weapon to smorc at your hearts content or to kill taunts (to then smorc!)
OctavianHero what are you doing turns three and four to complete the quest because if you’re using the cat or the 2 mana spell you’re not having a fun time being aggressive
You can put Unseal the Vault right into Mech Hunter and not loose that much tempo and still be able to complete it really quickly between all the microbots and bombs that are generated in that deck.
I started playing hs at the beginning of ungoro, so this is gonna be a very nostalgic and fun expansion for me
The Vulpera Scoundrel's mystery choice doesn't actually take up one of the 3 discover choices. You get 3 discover options plus the mystery choice which is just any random spell. The mystery choice can be situationally useful if all the discover options are bad and you need to roll the dice (hence the artwork).
ua-cam.com/video/yZpIog7e-R4/v-deo.html
History Buff is actually godlike. If you’re not running that in zoo when the expansion comes out, seriously reconsider because that is busted.
phalanx commander will be better than it seems.
with just 1 taunt (which the enemy has to get through to kill it), it is already worth a yeti. not great, not terrible.
if the opponent can kill the taunt but the commander stays up, the next taunt (speaking of taunt decks/warrior), will gain the effect, and it has given 2x2 attck already. thats worth.
lets also not forget the "low attack high HP standoffs", when both players have taunt minions and are in no timely rush to get through them. they taunts often just sit opposing each other and nobody attacks. this card, just by existing, breaks that stalemate, you dont want your opponent to accumulate more taunts, as within a turn that can turn sour immediately. this makes taunt walls more dangerous and the opponent has to deal with them faster, even if theyre just 2/6s or 1/4s.
itll be a great arena card, and will even find its way into some tier 2 decks, by definition thats a 3-4 star cards
Taunt warrior will be broken with this bloodlust effect, exactly what it needed since they already announced some low cost minions with taunt or that generate minions with taunt, add the buffs...first deck to build
Is Holy Ripple a JoJo reference, or am I just slowly going insane?
then the rogue deck was called sticky fingers... We are reaching the jojo-singularity
@@REDDAWNproject pretty sure it's called zipper man smh
@@aspenlog7484 zipper man is for copyright purposes sticky fingers is the original name.
@@micahalsayadi559 it's a joke
Once you watch Jojo your whole view of the world-o changes
Octosari is great in decks that want to clear out their deck.... you have a lot of options to instantly trigger the dr. In those cases it can be great.
The dream for the new hunter deck is, u don’t trigger ur quest until u play zuljin first, then let ur spells trigger that summons minions, it will also help u to complete the quest. Once the quest is complete, the new hero power can replace zuljins one
Power creep is real boys! Shrinkmeister was a 2 mana 3/2 that gives 1 minion -2 attack for a turn, and was a class card! Quicksand Elemental hits all enemies and is neutral! Shrinky Dinks wild Priest is back! Can't wait to try it with Shadow Word Horror and Cabal Shadow Priest.
So check it out, link for that is below. And we'll see you guys, as always, tomorrow.
I would just play quest in regular tempo rogue. You already run Blink Fox, Hench Burglar, and you'll run the new Rogue spell that adds random non-Rogue spells to your hand, so you can finish the quest and use the weapon to help close out games or stay alive while looking for your Leeroy.
I wish more card reviewers had Kripps speed of analyzing cards, it’s always short, sweet, and to the point. Some of the other reviewers drag out the length unnecessarily so it’s a refreshing change of pace.
Zephrys being an elemental is actually hugely relevant. Sandbinder is still in rotation, thus you only run one elemental: zephrys. Zephrys being as powerful as it is, a personal tutor is much needed, especially in a highlander deck.
I know that this is not how it works, but the wording of the rogue quest reward's text would imply that it is the *weapon* that is immune while you attack. It irks me to no end.
360p gang where you at
Right here lad
Right here!
YEE I'm part of the gang. Mom would be proud
Was just going to say lol
Who stole my 1080p?!
Elemental is great For Zephrys. You can tutor it with Sandbinder. Even if it's not on curve, Zephrys will get you what you need at any stage of the game. If you draw Sandbinder afrer wards, you hopefully already got the perfect job and you don't need a draw.
Also, Zephrys only offers classic and basic cards. The card pool won't go up with more expansions, but it can change if Blizzard rotates some of those card into the hall of fame and they replace the rotated cards.
24:06 .... I know you were on a tight schedule here, but don't forget to glance over the fact that Lackey Shaman will be a thing: Lots of 1mana minions + evolve lackeys. Works wonders here.
Zephrys Rogue will work well. At 5 Mana it will give you Shadowstep and van Cleef. That will be a crazy invinite Combo.
Quicksand Elemental is going to be a 2x in every Zoo deck. It might even make it into some control decks. It's really, really great.
Rogue quest is easily good, your hero power becomes a fiery war axe with candleshot text. While fiery war axe was important for removing early game minions, I still see slotting in the quest draw card and it being a competitive deck. Maybe not the best rogue has to offer however.
Pit Crocolisk might be good enough to be a late game minion in Quest Shaman. It's a potential 10 damage to the face to close out the game. Very powerful turn 10.
I built a tree druid deck during witchwood...
23:56 well, u've seen rabble bouncer in some mage deck thanks to conjurer's calling. This card is the same for shaman with Mutate except you might make an advantageous trade before evolving
Octosari in Mecha'Thun seems pretty good since your deck will already have a way to kill your own minion, you can use it on this in the late game once you have your combo pieces in hand to quickly draw out the rest of your deck.
I chuckle at people overlooking Totemic Surge this hard. I think it's gonna be great. Buffing all your totems from out of the blue can make for some sick burst. Just doing Surge on 3 totems is like casting three Blessings of Kings, that's solid and it's 0 mana. It's also like a double Savage Roar which often has been a game winning play (granted, for totems only). Slap some buffs from Vessina ontop of that and you've a lot of finishing power using just totems.
HighLanderPony would only maybe be used in even shaman
Regarding Faceless Lurker, I don't even think it's ok. Fen Creeper if I'm not mistaken is a sub par arena card, and Faceless Lurker is basically that card where the extra health stats can be silenced.
That hunter 4 mana 7/7 is enough to remind me why I'm not picking up this game again.
I think you don't have read the effect
Rogue Ancient Blade > Hero quest is op. It's so easy for them to finish that quest within the first 5 turns and bam! extra damage and board clear while immune = OP, even for fast decks.
My winners of this set:
Druid, Rogue, Priest, Mage
All of them have some pretty solid cards, some of which are potentially super broken, and not a lot of chaff.
Most of the neutrals are pretty good this time around, especially the commons. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Fun drinking game that's guaranteed to kill you:
Take a shot every time Kripp explains the 'reborn' keyword.
After anduin masters the holy ripple he might get a holy stand in the next expansion.
*MENACING*

Zephrys is damn cool I'm sure he'll be played in most Reno Wild decks and we'll have to see if he's strong enough to merit a highlander deck in standard
18:16 If we can play 2 quests in one deck I'm definitely playing this in my Marsh Queen deck. Complete Marsh Queen play her (preferably with Elek) then her brood will complete Vault and be ready for that sweet buff 😄
22:48 Talk about making the quest easy to complete
25:27 It should be a 3/4 like the other 'affect both players equally' cards come on now dev team :/
27:58 A common Maexxna with +1/+1 for 1 more mana...
31:20 I would of made this a 3/3 and give Mischief maker the 3/4 statline
33:01 This is a fun card
I'm pretty pumped for this expansion!
Blizzard: We sent Vanish to hall of fame because that card gives good control to Rogue and thats not the archetype we want for this character.
Also blizz: We gave rogue more options to send enemy minions to opponents hand and a new permanent invulnerable weapon when attacking. Because this class is lacking control.
Ffffffffffffffffff***!!!
This expansion seems really cool. But then there's Boomsday expansion still in play. Oh well. Have to wait till 2020. Also there are a ton of tiny little bugs crawling all over the screen around Kripp. I need to get my house bug bombed. 👀👀👀
Octasari is great for Mecha'thun rogue. Mecha'thun rogue is also getting the 5 mana make all deathrattles 1 mana 1/1's. This guy could be a 1 mana 1/1 Deathrattle draw 8 cards in a deck that wants to empty their deck as soon as possible. We could be seeing turn ~8 mecha'thun KO's with the addition of Anka and Octasari.
High potential.
Just imagining:
Turn 5: Play Anka with Mecha'thun and Octasari in hand.
Turn 6: Play either Octasari or Unstable Element
Turn 7: Empty your hand, which likely consists of low cost death rattle minions.
Turn 8: Either repeat last turn, or play mecha'thun and win.
Edit: This also reminds me of a deck that Disguised Toast experimented with in the early days of a previous expansion. It used Hooktusk to thin your deck of pirates, and the deathrattle pirate that had rush and draw combo card for even more card draw. Rogue has plenty of ways of thinning their deck very fast. Anka makes mecha'thun easier to play. Octasari is even MORE card draw. Mecha'thun Rogue is a real possibility this expansion.
Pit Crocolisk is better than it seems- it's not a spell, so it can target characters that are immune (not terribly common, I admit, but can still sometimes show up and be really annoying if you don't happen to have an answer when it does).
Inb4 Naga Sandwich pun in the flavor text
I'm glad I didn't preorder. But maybe watching Kripp make some decks tonight will get my excited to craft some cards next week.
Octosari can be discounted by the hunter epic, intriguing.
no1bro not only that in could be discounted, the copied twice with hunting party, then shuffle more in with dire frenzy, then play zuljin, easy 50 fatigue damage
No duplicated deck going to be dead on arrival with bomb warrior.
it wont... bomb warrior needs to shuffle 3+ bombs to grantee dups in deck
meanwhile very aggressive new hunters will be very happy for the free wins.
but it may be dead just cause the new no dup cards are not as good as back in the day...
It has been confirmed by developers that multiple bombs in the deck won't ruin "no duplicates" effects, it's weird but it's true
@@danieleiseppon whaaat
Mhhh that was an error in the article, bombs ruin the deck
Oh, i guess we'll see who's right in a few days :D
17:25 this quest is a joke we had dinomancy for 2 mana with +2/+2 effect and it wasn't good, i know it was just for beasts, but this is hunter we are talking about.
Holy shit, they actually made good neutral epic cards
Eh, most of the neutral epics suck. The commons are pretty good though.
I could watch 40 minute Kripp videos all day. I miss the Master Class videos -- Rania doesn't even have to edit them!
Holy ripple is pretty darn good in meta with reborns and divine shields. Good in the early game for small removal. Good in late game for reborns and divine shields.
Octosari. . . . . . . . Sandstorm Elemental. . . . . Outstanding analysis of the new cards.
I miss these. Kripp is now BG exclusive, but i miss standard and i miss arena Kripp. Ill still watch but man this is a blast from the oast that i miss so much.
Blatant decoy seems kind of absurd to me... the usual problem w these symmetrical card chest effects is that your opponent gets to use their effect first, but since they are forced to kill the decoy or take 5, you will get access first in those scenarios. Idk what combo it would be but I have a feeling it’s gonna be somewhat strong
You still run bloodlust because its more dmg and, most importantly, you can tutor it with spirit of the frog and storm chaser.
Octosari given reborn a couple times by that one spell that gives a minion reborn...I want that 14+ card mill highlight.
Compare Pit Crocolisk to Deep Sea Kraken, one less Mana for two more damage is really good, smaller body but you usually used Kraken in arena for the battlecry to remove something anyway.
