ERROR! ERROR!

[@TheForhekset]

Star aligner is like the expression of its name suggests it happens so infrequently it might as well not even have a battlecry.

[@DiabloTommaso]

Hatts Harbringer lol xD inside joke you are rigth

[@liger04]

True, but hearthstone's mechanics encourage high draw and game-ending combos. It's pretty much the definition of miracle decks to get an insane swing by drawing through your deck until you find an otherwise hard-to-pull-off combo. That said, Star Aligner doesn't deal 20 damage to face so it's no miracle rogue.

[@KoopaKrump]

You know what does deal more than 20 damage to face? Play dead on a cubed Charged Devilsaur followed by a Star Aligner. Solid 21 damage to face with a 7 damage board clear.

[@C1umsyJester]

Star aligner in overload giant shaman👀

[@emperorkovsai5038]

Earlier than me last time I was this early I still had charge

[@rykehuss3435]

I would also say Astromancer could find a place in Ele mage. Ele mages usually have a big hand, with all their discover, draw, and generating new minions/spells in hand (Pyros etc) stuff.

[@Dannymiles1987]

Rykehuss especially with spell stone. Elemental mage swings on 7 and loses nothing. Maybe even odd mage

[@MunkyDrag0n]

I would not say Ele mage has as big of a hand as Control mage, because its card draw is situational and discover/Pyros is merely self-replacing. However, Stargazer Luna will make it much easier to have a big hand. There is definitely potential.

[@rykehuss3435]

MunkyDrag0n I've played plenty of Ele mage, and I always have a big hand. Sometimes even too big, I have 8-9 cards in hand every turn in late game and not enough mana to play everything and get max value. Book of Specters is a big contributor to that.

[@notahlawan7877]

He goes how's it going Kripparrian here

[@ΣωκράτηςΣεϊρλής]

Prince Keleseth -> buffs Shudderwork -> You play X2 Sharonite Gang -> You play Star Aligner as a just 7/7 -> You play buffed Shudderwork, sharonite triggers twice before star aligner, the star aligner wrecks the place.

[@namesurname6799]

You know what is the easiest way to get 2 7-health minions on your board prepared and ready to Align? THE CUBE!

[@KoopaKrump]

Cubed Hadronox's give you two 7 health minions. Just sayin.

[@oicmorez4129]

I'M NOT?

[@w1mark275]

I think one thing to take consideration when it comes to cloning gallery is if it can summon 2 of the same minion on the board. If at most it can only summon 1 copy of a minion, that means you can technically run 14 cards (7 cards with 2 copies each) and still summon every copy of cards in your deck (assuming you haven't drawn both copies) You could even up the number of cards to far more than 14 and still have a rather consistent cloning gallery.

[@thedragonflytapes5727]

Just imagine Pogo Hopper in the 2 card deck tavern brawl...

[@jesustheangryatheist]

Pogo hopper and mechwarper

[@giannisxouliaras5672]

I like the fact that priest is the cloning section of the labs but druid got all the broken cloning cards omegalol

[@Panthror]

I'm gonna play a wild mech warrior with double Dr. Boom, seems like fun and a deck that can get me to 500 ranked wins, because until now I haven't had a good idea for what to do with warrior.

[@Berenadre]

Panthror ikr is hard to get a good idea with warrior when most decks are wallet warriors but this new mech one seems to be reallt cool

[@alexandrustoiu1885]

Clonung Device is decent. It lets you see 3 minions in your opponents deck. You could see a Deathwing there, you know you hava to play around him, which could make him useless, you could copy a shudder, and just play him earlier to screw with the enemy.

[@toristasyuk6589]

Kripp predicted #StarAligner meta, I'm from the future I would know

[@ComissarYarrick]

One dity combo Kripp missed is to use blightnozzle crawler with sonya. Player pop the crawler, then play sonya and basicly can machine-gun everything on other side of the borad with respawing ozzes. Then shadowstep sonya, keep one ozze in hand and you basicly holding enemy board hostage

[@kennethokubo3435]

so i did some thinking, and honestly, the only way i can really think of to get star alligner to consistently go off is through the use of arcane giants, whirlwind, and something that'll allow you to play enough spells for it. but even then it's incredibly convoluted and unnecessary to make it very practical to do at all.

[@Gajaczek93]

I can see Zerek's Cloning Gallery as very powerful tool in control priest . Imagine having dry hand, and mind visioning it into getting like Lich King, Ysera, Cairne, Obsidian statue etc. And getting similar set next turn. And so on. Kinda like failsafe against not drawing your big cards.

[@MisaMapache]

Turn 1-Malygos Turn 2 -Prince Taldaram - Innervate - Gloop Sprayer - 21 Damage Moonfire

[@fullor9395]

With the druid weapon you Can do that in only One turn! Fantastic! 10 mana 42 damage face...ok you'll need Just 7 cards, but that's exodiaaaa

[@MisaMapache]

Actually now that you mention that if you throw in the new Flobbidinous Floop legendary you can actually do: - Malygos Then Assuming it gets removed. - Flobbidunous Floop 4 Mana Malygos - Faceless Manipulator - Attack to get 10 mana - Prince Taldaram - Innervate - Gloop Sprayer - Moonfire with 5 Malygos for 26 damage or two for 52. And if the first malygos didn't get removed then its 31 or 62.

[@frodothedodo]

I think there's a genuinely viable mill-rogue deck for Pogo-Hopper. 2x Gang Up, 2x the new gang up minion, 2x pogo-hopper, 2x minstrel, 2x coldlight, Death Knight, + backstab, eviscerate and other control tools. If you want to be super greedy you can add the Kingsbane package as well. Might be pretty good

[@hobbes9513]

The card that‘s meant to be played alongside Zerek‘s cloning gallery is the Priest Quest. You just need a deck with a whole lot of deathrattle minions. A whole lot...

[@exantiuse497]

The thing with Astromancer that gives it an advantage over Spiteful is the fact you don't need to restrict the spells you put in your deck to those costing 10 mana, which is a big deal for Mage

[@vuZe182]

nice video again Kripperoni! awesome set so far, also pretty cool Arena cards imo

[@didkripperinoopenapackerin5876]

No

[@andreistefancurca8598]

What do you mean? Murmuring elemental -> Double battlecry-> Celestial Emissary-> Spell damage+4 -> 8 dmg flamestrike. late game warlock gg. Or some crazy ass combo like that.

[@ultimatesore]

The legendary priest spell seems like a mind blast combo card hitting 2 radiant elemental, malygos, lyra, etc. Then just trying to build up mind blasts via shadow vision type effects.

[@pogchamp8638]

Zack wont happen since you can easily draw your minions

[@tristancarron3735]

You can stack enough spell damage in your deck so that doesn't matter / use baleful bankers for malygos and velen (the important ones). If that fails, setup the OTK via spellstone. I'm not saying that it'll be good, but it might be (and I don't want that, 0 interactivity sucks)

[@Dannymiles1987]

Zack that 2 drop that puts a card in your deck is interesting to me

[@EnriqueDominguezProfile]

"Poisonous rushing oozling little shits" - we love you kripp.

[@VioletShinobi]

I would expect astromancer to work like Twilight and Midnight drakes... If you play them with 10 cards in hand the card still counts itself in the hand size, making the card have 10 health/attack... same thing with mountain giant, you dont magically pay an extra mana when you play mountain giant, cards with hand size effects always use your original hand size to calculate... now honestly blizzard has been super inconsistent in the past with other effects so maybe Kripp will be right anyway XD

[@jaziken]

Yetiquatch yeah this was my first thought also surprised more people didnt notice

[@ThonsonSr]

First glance at Zerek's Cloning Gallery I thought it's meant to get a copy of minions that you need to get on the board, after they die you're set up for a big priest combo. Might work better in Wild with Emperor to reduce costs to cards.

[@TimoCruz177]

star aligner works pretty well with that charged devilsaur druid from Thijs you just cube the devilsaur and next turn you naturalize the cube and play star aligner

[@magisterofsteam7880]

We have actually seen 50 of the new cards so far.

[@heroricspiritfreinen38]

Magister Of Steam No way

[@4f52]

No i'm blind

[@magisterofsteam7880]

1:03

[@jasonfoster4644]

The 2 mana 2/3 spells cost one less.. play that from hand, spell costs 8.. get one more of those on the board with even velen still missing you can get 20-30 damage from mind blast.. that doesn’t seem THAT impossible. I think we’ll be surprised how often that actually happens

[@giannisxouliaras5672]

Btw the 5 mana that summons 2 annoy o trons dont get rekt by defile as its 2/1 and 2 1/2 with divine shield which counts as they got 3 hp so you still have board after....irrelevant or not

[@bouboulroz]

Giannis Xouliaras just pop divine shield on one annoy-o-tron or play a 2 health minion before. It's still easily countered.

[@giannisxouliaras5672]

bouboulroz yes but then you use 2 cards to deal with 1 cuz its not like lock can freely ping it somehow w/o the use of an other card

[@bouboulroz]

Giannis Xouliaras unless you already have a minion to pop the shield on board, minion that would die from defile anyway so it's already counted as lost.

[@giannisxouliaras5672]

bouboulroz still 2 for 1 in that case though

[@bouboulroz]

Giannis Xouliaras not if the minion generated value before, generate value by dying or somehow survives, which is pretty easily done in Warlock. Just a random voidwalker created by an already dead voidlord could do the trick, and that's only if there is no 2 health minion on the opponent's side. Also, we are talking about Warlock here : hero power + defile = 4 mana with neutral CA so you can afford to lose a minion and still beat a 5 drop with 4 mana and equal CA loss. And let's not talk about Godfrey.

[@Klockan7]

Step 1: Have Hadronox die Step 2: Play Gloop Sprayer Step 3: Have Flobbidinous Floop in hand Step 4: Play 2 Witching Hours and "Floop as the Gloop" and enjoy 4 Handronoxes! Value overload

[@TheMasalaBalla]

Cloning device might make big priest pretty powerful in wild. Tripling the chance at hitting barnes by turn 4 has to make it much more consistent.

[@BlueElthunder57]

Can't wait for the expansion!

[@geico105]

Cloning Device is alright because you can see 3 minions in your opponent’s deck which means you will very likely know exactly what type of deck they’re playing and thus can play around it.

[@alexqwerty5354]

Especially strong in Wild then I suppose, because in Standard you pretty much know what deck you're playing against as soon as you see their class (at least at rank 5+).

[@ceering99]

Hunting Mastiff x4 + Cybertech Chip, boom 4 cards with mech synergy just got added to your hand. If Mech Hunter becomes a big deal then it might be pretty good.

[@sarijusirtaiptoliau8874]

Doomsayer doomsayer coin star aligner or in wild thaurissan then double injured blademaster+circle of healing and star aligner.

[@Berenadre]

Sarijus ir taip toliau I was thinking the same , in wild with thaurissan is gonna be way easy

[@fullor9395]

So it's basically a 10 mana twisting nether + deal 7 damage to face + lose 4 cards....i think there are better cards for 10 mana ahah

[@Berenadre]

Valentino Celani it makes each one of them do 7 damage (21) to ALL enemy characters, thats a possible otk with board clear as an extra

[@fullor9395]

Berenjena why each One of them Will deal 7 damage? Just star aligner will

[@Ivan-td7kb]

I can definitely see the combo potential of star aligner in combo druid with kun having 7 health, ixlid, faceless manipulator, splintergraft, zola the gorgon and the new druid legendary flobbidinous floop.

[@anotherfool9278]

Would the priest legendary spell card complete the priest quest since it says summon?

[@kabalcrystalrunnerinokripp9136]

I'm late! …I'm late!

[@Scorch428]

ShADIW Visions for Priest 9 mana Cloning Spell, Baleful Banker your Malegos & 7/7 double dmg back intro your deck first. Coin Mindblast finisher?

[@lemondude6174]

When’s the next Naxxramas update?

[@jurgenpetry6899]

You could play two of the 8/8 rush treant discount guys abd the gloop sprayer in the same turn

[@C1umsyJester]

With cloning gallery just play it in spell stone priest. It is literally 9 mana summon all your combo pieces. Then you play spell stone and you kill your opponent. Equally if you have maly velen and radiant in your deck you do 48 damage with mind blast holy smite holy smite

[@SGallahadd]

Duuude Annoy-O tron was the best Mech! - I certainly welcome multitudes of it. I'm hoping to make a decent zoo-mech Paladin this expansion.

[@chaosmastermind]

Am I wrong in thinking that Giggling Inventor would be really good in Token Druid? Could also be used in Shudderwock, since it's a battlecry effect, though it'd probably just get in the way. Could work in Paladin or Odd Paladin.. If Evolve Shaman was still a thing it'd be great in that too.

[@yjk92]

I just noticed there's a Mech Rager in the background. Maybe 5/1 mech?

[@FrostedSapling]

YJK could possibly get magnetic as well

[@bottleroll]

6:14 “The main counter for the card is gonna be defile” FailFish

[@Mark_Bunker]

It deals 1 damage to the Taunts. That's preeeeety good. ;)

[@hawkeye55555]

Main counter is Mossy Horror :)

[@yargolocus4853]

remove one divine shield by literally any dmg source, play defile. that's at least a 2 mana flamestrike

[@fullor9395]

Yargolocus nope, it's stronger, cause flamestrike doesnt kill divine shield minions...defilè does

[@SebasCapo2013]

What Yargo means is that they're like 2/1 and 1/3 to the defile, they would still be alive as 2 1/1s

[@extremepillows]

what happen if you use cloning device against a spell hunter?

[@TheOblomoff]

I feel like kripp was a bit too harsh on that priest spell. It practically reveals the opponents game plan when played on turn 2; you get a good minion 99% of the time, because why would anybody run anything other than good minions? Yeah, maybe not synergistic with your deck, but there are a hell of a lot stealing effects in priest to give you that synergy. Sure, might be a dead card when approaching fatigue, but shadow visions could be too. Not broken because you have to pay that 2 mana cost and the minion is not discounted, but very powerful to me.

[@Bobbyjeo2]

theoretically, couldnt astromancer see play in elemental mage? if you have 5 card in hand after playing astromancer, couldnt you technically summon a mountain giant? or does mountain giant cost 10 until you draw it?

[@abeljonathan7324]

What happens when you cloning device a minionless deck?

[@Minitoys59]

When you use shadow vision on a spell less deck nothing happen so i guess nothing will happen

[@wombatpandaa9774]

I think that Cybertech Chip could be a great addition to Spell Hunter. It would give Spell Hunter some desperately needed flexibility without changing the gimmick.

[@olivermuk9460]

Doesn't twilight drake have 10 health if your hand is full? Therefore astromancer can get 10?

[@CountreverLP]

Doesnt astromancer Work Like Twilight Drake with 10 cards in Hand?

[@amethonys2798]

Giggling Inventor also loses to mossy horror which is a neutral card and follows inventor on curve.

[@geosculptorinoyipperino6362]

Gonna enjoy stripping those annoy-o-tron things apart, might need a bit of help with the pogo-hoppers though.

[@themadhatter3867]

Velen otk appreciates the legendary spell I think, just the ability to have all your targets for the revival is good.

[@mechafloob]

Zerek's Cloning Gallery in Wild with Thaurissan, Velen, Baleful Banker and lots of Spell Damage minions.

[@dasboot7128]

pogo hopper reminds me of yugioh effects

[@yargolocus4853]

the art too

[@zachcrews2835]

Spreading plauge, plus Strongshell scavenger, next turn Star aligner, end game

[@thoughtles3991]

astromancer can also go in elemental mage that includes giants

[@suntzu4691]

Would Defile really counter Giggling Inventor though? Sure it would get rid of the Giggling Inventor's body but you'd still have two 1/1 taunts up regardless.

[@fishum6483]

"7 1/1s for 9 mana is not good" Krip shush, the wisps are listening.

[@kurtismorgan7732]

has anyone considered that maybe the omega cards use all 10 mana instead of it's original cost?

[@TheForhekset]

Pogo hopper looks, bad but bouncing it back looks fun, against a slow deck you could make a huge pogo hopper.

[@MunkyDrag0n]

Bouncing back a single Pogo Hopper repeatedly is really bad considering a large Pogo Hopper can still be silenced or destroyed easily. The true potential comes from using lab recruiter to add more to your deck or Sonya Shadowdancer to add them back to your hand.

[@fullor9395]

Pogo Hopper is the new "Jade" deck, but they can be silenced....It Will be a superdeck for me btw

[@ballinhamster3170]

Yeah just bouncing it is pretty bad since you don’t get tempo from the minion you played. You’d need a fair amount of draw and gang-up effects to make the card useful.

[@tehmastawow]

Remember how sludge belcher was run in literally every deck back then? Gigglin inventor is gonna be belcher v2.

[@pastachief385]

Zerik's cloning device and wailing soul a possible combo?

[@OctavianHero]

looks at giggling inventor looks at shadow word horror we'll miss you very underrated card that I liked from the beginning... time to play wild (?)

[@Karp_Dominion]

With star aligner, battlecries happen before the minion hits the board. Therefore, you would actually need to have three minions. Yeah, I’m gonna write this card off.

[@tristancarron3735]

The one instance I can think of off the top of my head with this wording, Fight Promoter, counts itself.

[@Karp_Dominion]

Defin Carna They just need to settle this problem once and for all so that we don’t have to go through this problem every time a new expansion is announced.

[@Karp_Dominion]

Quasar Wess If this were true the Deathwing would kill itself. Like I responded above, the wording is extremely inconsistent and needs a general rework. This wording on the cards worked better when the game was more simple and the cards had less extreme effects.

[@Ki65360]

I'm kinda surprised kripp didn't mention the obvious synergy between Gloop Sprayer and Mulchmuncher. That can be 4 8/8 rush and a 4/4 for 8 mana

[@Pzychosis]

Gloop Spray combo: >Stonetusk Boar >Stonetusk Boar >Gloop Sprayer to get FOUR 1/1 CHARGERS OMGGGG

[@sirilidionilirium4857]

pogo-hopper might fit into a quest rogue deck, right?

[@alexandernorthover4539]

Kripp, I don't play much Hearthstone, but I have watched you A LOT since like GvG. The knowledge that I have gained over all these years, watching your videos all this time has today culminated in what I really genuinely believe is the ultimate "overtake the master" situation: STAR ALIGNER IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING GARBAGE, wtf Kripp?

[@alurma]

Cloning device can be way better than shadow visions. Imagine you get hadronox from druid a bunch of times. Pretty good

[@stephenburley4581]

So regarding Star Aligner, I actually do see potential for it in one deck. It could potentially work its' way in to Shudderwock. Run this, and a Boistrous Bard, and when you play your Shudderwock this triggers 90% of the time. Particularly useful after Primordial Drake rotates out, for the control variants. This, of course, assumes we'll see some kind of Dopplegangster effect come in before the end of the year, because the deck relies on it so much. In the short term, I'd be pretty surprised to see this make the cut in any decks. two seven health minions on the board before it and actually needing a board clear or seven damage removal just isn't realistic. Maybe some kind of Snow Flipper/Hand Buff deck, for the memes? Even then, it seems like you're dedicating your deck to a gimmick that loses to hard removal. Might as well play an Ancient One deck instead.

[@taylorphillips358]

If you can get gloop sprayer into a giant combo you can basically end the game next turn, I have a feeling its going to be insane

[@j0kR8]

seems like the new doctor 7 is the good old Star Augur Etraeus from WoW Legions´s Nighthold Raid

[@ivanehtnoij6243]

pogo hopper and extreme synergy to work? I mean it was not that long that quest rogue was a thing, now mixed with essentially gang up on a 2/2 body. Yeah, this card will do fine

[@gorderinofreemerino2627]

....

[@PotatoBearRawr]

So quest priest with a million silences is going to a very interesting... Especially against the Dr. Warrior...

[@ShadowtheRonin]

Prince Keleseth + Shudderwock + Saronite Chain Gang x2 + Star Aligner? Or is that too conditional?

[@Gordon_Kicks]

What if Giggling Inventor has its own soundbite and summoned Annoy-a-trons will have their own, TWICE?! Too much politeness for me!

[@bemaod]

Thank you for having the background not move back and forth!

[@zephalverilion5393]

im gonna write staraligner off. if it was common then it would be used in free to play but its not its a horrible card. i mean the condition just seems very random. like if you have a ren priest with 1other dragon and get off duskbreaker on turn 4 against an aggro deck. like its luck if your minions have 7 health. anyway gloop seems to be alot like bonemare. like say you have a 5/5 and 3/3 you summon a 12/12for 8 mana

[@_faultee_]

Love how Krip is always a day behind.

[@knavenformed9436]

Okay I'm really starting to wonder, was Brode a flavour checker or something, because these cards feel like they are random dudes with random effects that just fit the classes, but other than that it's like someone pissed in the wind.

[@pigmiwarriorentertainment274]

If you played the Cloning Gallery with a bunch of magnetic minions would they all voltron together to make a super minion? That could be a lot of fun

[@liger04]

Sadly no, magnetic minions must be played and not summoned.

[@pigmiwarriorentertainment274]

That's what I thought but it's a real shame. It could've made this card a lot more interesting

[@NitroMelon]

Pigmiwarrior However, nothing is stopping you from using Mimiron's Head in conjuction with other magnetic minions in wild, if you can make it survive that turn.

I love how kripp says "if the stars align" on the card straight after star aligner. Must have been stuck in his head without realising
