On second thought, I think the main reason this one seems so terrible is that instead of giving you random good surprises ("Surprise! A free Yeti with your Fireball"), it gives you random bad ones ("Surprise! Your deck has 5 Goldshire Footmen and a Magma Rager"). That makes it much less fun.

I've had games where I had cards like Mogushan Warden and Bloodsail Corsair and my opponent got 3 Assassinates.

It's entirely RNG and while you can try to make the best of it, frequently the cards you get just aren't good enough to succeed.

Just play Hunter and use the hero ability every turn.

So this happened.

They have a spoiled card archive linked on that page, or here.

I'm calling Maiden of the Lake Mage decks being a thing

Very similar to Echo Mage using Sorcerous Apprentice and whats his face to spam infinite Fire Balls but Maiden and Coldarra Drake is waaayyy easier to pull off.

A lot more were revealed on a stream yesterday as well: (EDIT: official images now)

Totem shaman ftw? If Shaman gets cards that make it competitive I will be so happy. Shaman has always been my favorite class.

I suspect Hero Power Mage will be a new deck archetype once this releases. I'd try it, but we'll see how competitive it ends up being.

Two other cards revealed ~~in a korean stream, here are rough translations of them. THE WORDING MAY CHANGE.~~ Official versions posted.

I assume the latter will be a paladin class card. Double Recruits every Hero Power? Yes please!

No, it just basically gives the other hero the paladin hero power in addition to their own.

That just seems really odd to me.

WHOA! That last one man. As always, I'm pumped about this new set. So much fun and cool stuff on the way.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1088 on:** July 24, 2015, 01:40:23 PM »

I read that Totemic Slam can summon duplicates of the same totem.

I cannot wait to run Totemic Might in a deck.

*EDIT* Three new cards so far today:

Sacred Warrior - When a character is healed, gain +2 attack.

Thanks to a reddit post, I'm going to call this card Mediumwarden.

King’s Defender - Battlecry: For each friendly minion with Taunt, gain + 1 Durability.

Wilfred Fizzlebang - Cards you draw using your Hero Power have their Mana Cost reduced to 0.

TRIFLING GNOME. YOUR ARROGANCE WILL BE YOUR UNDOING!!

I'm surprised it's not a Beast.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1092 on:** July 24, 2015, 08:10:04 PM »

Wow, I think I like the kraken. I will definitely try to fit it in a deck or two. This is the most expensive common neutral card so far, and it actually does something right away - possibly even enough to justify it having low health and being a BGH target.

Its not. The other cards of that level of mana that are good have very game changing effects. 9 mana is too expensive for this type of effect.

He's a good "big dude" for new players to use. He might be decent in arena as well, where hard removal is less prevalent.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #1095 on:** July 26, 2015, 11:47:45 PM »

In arena my guess is he will be spectacular.

Let me ask though: how much is 4 damage worth? 4 mana seems like a good estimate, in which case you can think of the Kraken as a 5 mana 9/7 plus your standard 4 mana for 4 damage. A 5 mana 9/7 is very similar value to what the Handlock giants provide, and although this card cannot be played as early as a turn 4 mountain giant, it is more consistent in the late game.

In a deck which in which you attempt to overwhelm your opponent with very large guys, I think this is a valid card. I am not saying it will be widespread, or even that it will be great - just occasionally good, enough so that I really want to try it in a deck (alongside Drakonid Crushers and Druids of the Fang).

Giants are good because they can be played early or cheap (its still good to throw down a couple of taunted moltens on turn 10). When you get to minions you actually play at that high of a mana cost, his effect is just not good enough to stack up to the ones that actually get played.

Unstable portal nerf.

Drrek · « **Reply #1098 on:** July 27, 2015, 05:52:43 PM »

Literally the worst card I've seen since Majordomo.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #1099 on:** July 27, 2015, 06:09:45 PM »

If it had taunt, it would be fantastic.
