Seriously This thumbnail is on the top 5 list of thumbnails I've ever seen for sure Good job on that one Haven't spotted Krip yet so we need Thumbnailerino :/

[@ollie459]

Lucas Wolgast can't tell if your joking but it's the scale worm

[@ottokomlos3221]

That thumbnail got me off guard lol. That Krippworm is amazing.

[@KrippsJuicyButthole]

On the face of Scaleworm. Gotta say I like this one more. At least it got eyes :p

Looking at Kripp through his new cam makes me feel like he's in my room.

[@l3x1c0n1c]

He looks a bit.... yellow lol

[@ToastingPotato]

LexiconWrites Dats racist yo.

[@bizonelleme]

How did you missed "DIE INSECT!" For clockwork automaton Deal 16 damage to a random enemy Yeah ill take that

[@DarkCloudXII]

Yeah, I'll take "Deal 4 damage to your hero, draw 1 card", why not? Seriously though, 16 damage is kinda excessive, the 8 was already enough for most minions you want to remove.

[@LesbianWitchAcademia]

Even better. Bloodreaver Gul'Dan. Deal 6 heal 12

[@valibrave]

Can't wait to start overkilling voidlords by 13

[@Tsugua]

*Deal 16 damage to a random murloc tinyfin

[@supersaiyanjay4504]

16 damage once is trash 8 damage twice is better

[@rib6483]

Emeriss, the ultimate temporus counter

[@garynumarriedFC]

Will we see you on H3 podcast anytime soon my dude?

[@albinscott]

It's time to change Warsong Commander once again: "Your Rush minions have +1/+1".

[@ihaterng452]

It would be a buff.

[@qwertygirl334675]

Or, make it a control warrior card and have it be "your other minions have rush"

[@awapowell]

André Diniz agreed, for one reason only: I'd love to see rush added as part of the core warrior mechanic like that.

[@albinscott]

# David Zeski: I'm not sure if that wouldn't be a bit overpowered, but it could be an option as well.

[@Retpwnzyalol]

But you don't want to confuse other players. Better remove Warsong Commander completely.

[@outroidearinokripperino5785]

Queen - More Of That Jazz

[@keenho]

Omg that worm! Great job Rania!!

[@valkorion1749]

Clockwork Automaton synergie : combine with normal warlock heropower to deal 4 damage to yourself META DEFINING !

[@joel_rechtman]

Mystic_blade what the fuck are you talking about. Clearly dealing 4 damage to yourself is much better fucking brain dead gopnik

[@1OSfan17]

5 turns to get 0 Mana molten Giants, I see why the hall of famed him

[@jediroshi]

Hmm on the note of Emeriss. I agree with everything you said. Though it's just a thought. One type of hunter I thought it might help is Giant Hunter, but I'm not sure that needs the help in Wild.

[@timmaxwell2783]

Forest guide: think about it as a counter to aggressive mill decks like dead man's hand warrior and dagger rogue. These decks pack thier hand with cards that they can afford to play while milling the other player, but if they discard thier important cards they are ruined. Imagine milling the death knight for the rogue or warrior and their dead man's hand and her knife. Perhaps this is the new coldlight oracle but works differently ONLY in the sense that you can't use your two cards on your turn. Otherwise it is identical and with a bigger body and counters decks that have always depended on CLO. Just a thought

[@Scaggler]

Ravencaller is good in odd-only deck as it helps you curve out on even numbered turns

[@basedatlarge5727]

Spoiler! Kripp reviews 1 insane warlock card and some shitty cards you'll only see in arena

[@tygonmaster]

I actually see warlock running the automaton for massive burst healing.

[@grantmiller7257]

Emeriss echo hunter? Might be a decent archtype if there were some endgame to it.

[@Shlompskii]

don't @ me when you're complaining about Coffin Crasher in a month

[@TheZombieslayer2002]

tygonmaster its only hero power bro

[@williamxiang5619]

TheZombieslayer2002 did you watch the video? It's insane with the warlock death knight hero power

[@FrankieWuzHere]

Krip also Godfrey is not only defile but a 4/4 minion and x2 defile. So if we say 4 mana for a x2 defile that means 3 mana of it is for a 4/4. Really solid.

[@jason2mate]

Blackwald Pixie: odd card synergy, so gets an UPGRADED hero power refreshed in those odd card decks. That is actually pretty amazing.

[@mak31589]

I love Emeriss. Dragon Control Hunter is a decent deck in wild, and this card buffs the deck

[@JAN0L]

13:53 Seems that Clockwork Automaton works kinda like Velen with the doubling, so if you can create a 1/1 copy of it or something you would get 4x the damage from hero power, 8x with the next one and so on. Might be some combo potential.

[@jamescook613]

Kripp Ravencaller works pretty well if you are constructing an odd c/ Baku deck. This card lets you fill out your mana on your even turns where you otherwise would miss out on the 1 mana. If Baku decks work then Ravencaller will be worth it.

[@UtubeEnjoir]

The clockwork automaton is a common so its so good that you can use 2 copies of this plus the warlock hero card

[@JohnRed]

Lord Godfrey is like playing a +1 spell damage minion, casting defile and then putting down a 4/4 minion. Insane value.

[@Psykid12]

Forest Guide is our replacement for Coldlight Oracle in Mill Druid. /s I really want to play Mill Druid again.

[@Kurobeau]

dont forget: godfrey is odd and defile, siphon soul and twisting nether are even (just to name a few big removal cards)

[@StormiceLP]

I think Muck Hunter synergises pretty well with recruit effects aswell

[@cinderheart2720]

I feel like there's going to be 1 or 2 cards that'll make the Hunter Dragon a build around. Either "The next dragon you play costs x less", or some sort of rogue-like self bouncing cards so he can actually buff something late game.

[@altromonte15]

clockwork automaton also doubles the damage you deal to yourself with the normal warlock hero power, if the opponent forces you to play it with a dirty rat, that would be hilariously bad

[@emwZEEK]

If hunter had a spell that was "discover a hunter class legendary minion" and the legendary weapon filled your hand with minions emeriss would be a pretty cool card for spell hunter which is about the slowest controly hunter deck you will see.

[@samiamrg7]

Speaking of Tempo Mage and secrets, I wonder if there will be any secrets in this expansion.

[@AjaxOutlaw]

Forest guide could also help with the cards that change stats each turn

[@haramberinokripperino7770]

Clockwork Automaton with quest warrior hero power means 16 damage, if you use taldaram it means 32 damage

[@strongside4565]

Muck Hunter is really good in control mage. Post Jaina it is a 5/8 Rush and a 3/6 lifesteal/freeze for 7 mana. It is insane against decks that can otherwise just sit there and play nothing to prevent water eles.

[@StrangerX9]

Emeris is good ONLY if you got the death knight hunter up, and you you load your hand with insane build a beasts

[@ArimSeventh]

Oh, thanks, now I know which legend I'll drop first (from packs). Emeriss, of course.

[@CrazyCircles1]

Emeriss is a classic 'Win More' card. Second Win More dragon after Temporus.

[@leong2915]

They made that warlock legendary because they want to push odd deck, but if you wanna build a odd warlock deck, You don't have much aoe (defile, hellfire, felfire potion and twisting neither are all even mana ). I think thats why they make a 7 mand 4/4 with large defile

[@dumbo2155]

Best thumb nail yet!!

[@sebastianbjorkman4273]

Emeriss seems like a fun card in the hunter combo cube deck, I mean you can now spawn 6 16/16 king krush :p

[@LazyPoet101]

i wonder why the text on red band wasp is "has +3 attack while damaged" and not shortened to "Enrage: +3 attack"

[@WEIRDxGRIM]

Looks like mill druid is coming with Forest Guide, Drakkari Enchanter, Ixlid, Astral Tiger and Naturalize.

[@Italianchef26]

I was thinking the same about the Warlock DK, does it really work that way? Does it really double the doubled value? And would 2 Automatons work at the same time? If you reduce the cost somehowe (maybe not in standard) you could pull of some strong combos

[@theshadynorwegian6036]

do you think a malygos razorleaf mill rogue breed would be doable? Buttloads of razorleaves with thaurissan's discount is kinda like exodia mage, but not infinite. still an interesting idea. (i have some issues surviving early, but it does something against the control decks) actually having the mill archetype should help get the combos easier, i just dont have all the rogue combo cards like prep. at any rate, there are better decks, but i would be thankful if you could consider it

[@liwendiamond9223]

Vex Crow : Whenever you cast a spell, summon a trolden clip. THE END IS COMING!

[@Aziraphale686]

And warrior continues to get shafted.... Warrior is still my only non-golden portrait class, and it looks like that won't be changing any time soon.

[@iliakatster]

If you put in automaton into Warnock, doesnt it also double lifetaps damage? So not only is it slow in deathlock, it's anti-synergy for your base hero power

[@Xander89]

i bet someone will do a Coffinerino Crasherino Kripperino account

[@kylemckennie2599]

The good hearthstone days got all cards from this set

[@stens.8394]

I foresee trolden clips of vex crow summoning doomsayers.

[@Joe-cr1yl]

LMAO Genuinely laughed at that thumbnail, awesome job Rania!

[@TwistedAttitudes]

The problem with Forest Guide is it isn't as simple as "Change it to at the start of your turn". Why? Because if they do that your opponent can kill it before you draw and ta-dah you spent 4 mana and did nothing, and that would be even worse

[@danw91]

Are we sure that clockwork automaton won't deal 16 damage with the priest hero power and an auchenai effect?

[@ws04]

are we certain about clockwork automaton double healing the doubled damage?

[@Metallijosh100]

Emeriss?! Does this mean we're also getting Lethon, Ysondre, and Taerar 😍

[@TheBitenix]

14:30 that card + bloodreaver guldan's hero power will be nuts. it will be deal 6 damage heal 12

[@MoseTM]

Vex Crow: Whenever you cast a spell, summon a Doomsayer, and be very sad.

[@jordanneal576]

Clockwork Automaton. How certain are we that it would heal 12 with Guldan?

[@nuadnux]

Wanted: 4 mana 3 dmg to a minion + effect - Rogue Frostbolt: 2 mana 3 dmg + effect - Mage SeemsGood

[@killernator25]

Kripp you forgot to mention how the hero refreshing minion has synergy with both paladin DK and Quest warrior reward

[@zacnyberg641]

Killernator it’s not that good. It’s a harder combo to pull off now then with auctioneer

[@randomguy8461]

If you use Godfrey with bran, does each kill give you two more battlecry ticks?

[@maltejansen]

5:00 "Has +3 Attack while damaged" is enrage no longer a thing or why did they phrase it that way?

[@skabduddabdia6582]

Works clockwork with normal warlock heropower too? (So if another warlock cast treachery on this and the first warlock hero powers, will he take 4 dmg?)

[@TheGrimest]

I hope that you can do a Crafting guide before the expantion launchs

[@ubadman1]

ok im confused. is the hunter hero power being updated or not? i saw some people claiming it wont include the new beats (which would be dumb to say the least)

[@antonsundin2974]

How will clockwork automaton work with Rogue dagger?.... Lets say you buff the dagger up, play this and then hit your opponent in the face for 20?

[@pollyphemeus]

ok. Everyone says that the guldan hero will deal 6 and heal for 12 with the automoton. But it says "double the damage and healing" not "double the damage, then double the healing." Did Blizzard confirm that it's sequential and not simultaneous? Because they would have to have intentionally programmed it that way for the doubling to occur.

[@elsu7612]

@kripparian What if you used Emeriss in a giant hunter deck? With naga sea witch and all that

[@markram4444]

Coffin crasher is gonna be Priests' lesser version of the Lackey. I say lesser because the lackey cheats out demons from the deck versus the CC cheating them out of your hand. I assume most people using CC in their deck will centre it around pulling out an Obsidian Statue. I think it'll see some play in more control oriented Priest decks (ie: quest priest)

[@MrJakewray]

Emeriss gonna be crazy if they give it to the dungeon run guy who is big hunter with reduced cost

[@kinkles100]

Okay hear me out kripp, if we get a card that can manipulate battle crys in this next expansion like a cheap card that copies a battle cry in your hand then emerisse is on a whole level of his own. Hopefully something like this doesn't happen but if it does game over

[@Temuldjin]

Lord Godfrey: 7 mana board clear that also spawns a 4/4... that's pretty good :D (of cause it doesn't always work...)

[@intotheinfinite2463]

You think Blackwald Pixie will be played in OTK Paladín?

[@merryunbirthday7198]

Muck Hunter looks like it would work well with warrior and just killing the mucklings with 1 aoe damage to the board, this card is actually overshadowed

[@dabqu]

I think Scaleworm would see play in wild, as Curator can draw it and a dragon

[@sarpercelik5100]

What about quest hunter guys? Ravencaller and Emeriss?

[@chofa135]

Clockwork automaton + Quest Warrior. Ill try it

[@Grimace1996]

Hunter Death-Knight+Dragon Legendary = Situation where cards in hand and at late-game = possibly probably good, but kripp didn't mention

[@reeenis173]

Are u ready for the 3/3 + spell > summon doomsayer > nuke the board?

[@user-nd5ww9sy2w]

SKINTAGERINO ON HIS RIGHT EYE LID IS DRIVING ME INSANERINO

[@Emajenus]

I'm just waiting for the 1,200 packs unboxing video...I don't even play the game anymore...

[@Rpg39_]

18:15 I've played Hunter from the very beginning. I'm a level 60 gold hunter and every other class is level 10 and they're only level 10 just so I could get some gold. I gotta say from my experience Blizzard just doesn't care about hunter like at all. I always feel like I go into every game at a disadvantage. I think a card like Emeriss is crazy in literally every other class except hunter. I am glad no other class got that card I will say. But I also gotta say that card as crazy as it is sucks in hunter. I'd rather have a different legendary. If your a hunter and your somehow in a position to actually see 10 mana your seriously limping at best. My favorite deck to play is some weird control dragon hunter I put together and it's honestly the most fun I've ever had playing hearthstone. Unfortunately the deck I made sucks. I lose 2/3 games with it but the 1/3 of the games are crazy fun. I've somehow always beat Priest and quest mage with it. Emeriss will definitely make it into my deck but I know without a doubt my dragon deck is dead when Night in Karazhan rolls out. I wish Blizzard would throw hunters a bone every once in a while instead of just seeing Mage and Rogue denominate every single year.

[@joshyman221]

Rpg 39 try a control hunter with eggs, cubes and other nice deathrattles combined with play dead and terrorscale. I’ve actually had great results with it (imagine cubing a lich king or some big zombeast and playdeading twice). I can send you my list if interested

[@mariostoynov]

Rpg 39 I do quite well with Handbuff Hunter (no joke) Something like an aggressive midrange deck with DK for lategame valuve. Only thing I lack is heal, but neutral healing heals little or is too clunky.

[@Rpg39_]

goodsire, Not a plant yea I've played both these decks before (at least very similar ones) I enjoyed them both. Those are actually 2 of my favorite decks I've created. I'm actually surprised and both happy someone else plays a similar deck because I've never encountered a deck like those before in constructed. Sadly I think the heart of these decks will die off soon once whispers of the old gods, Night in Karazhan, and Mean streets of Gasgetzan roll out.

[@Rpg39_]

goodsire sure, you can send me your deck list if you don't mind.

[@mariostoynov]

Rpg 39 Well, we still have wild. I generally prefer wild so I don't really suffer from this, but it sure sucks for standart players. But even if the Dragon sees no play, the other Legendary probably will. I really hope I get it, there is some great sinergy with poison minions. Will toxic arrow finally be viable? Probably not, but a man can dream.

[@majdtakla6252]

Concerning the redband wasp, can someone explain to me please why it isn't "Enrage: +3 Attack " ? Did blizzard forget about that keyword ?

[@TheSquareOnes]

I believe they're actually removing it from the game. No, I have no idea why they're doing that. It doesn't reduce complexity (the card tells you what it does when you mouse over it anyway) and they're clearly still printing enrage cards, so.... pfffff.

[@kaurkonks5843]

Naga wild Emeriss deck.. looks fun.

[@Ryuhikuro]

muck hunter in combo with either warlock defile or jaina lichking

[@BooAxe]

These photoshop kripps are amazing

[@oddeology1259]

why doesn't the clockwork automaton with warlock DK heropower deals 6 and heals for 6? why does it heal for more than 6? I don't get it...captain?

[@connorgriffiths3174]

Can't wait to see what Kripp has to say about the other Warrior legendary...

[@Nicaveli]

wait wait wait, velen stacks so the clockwork automaton stacks too right?

[@NewYork975]

When is the release date?

[@kostakios]

Challenge: Listen to ALL of Kripp's card reviews on 2x playback speed

[@KawaiiKate88]

Well i am going to rush craft emeris coz that card will be broken in my control hunter deck i often do find myself with the opportunity to waste a turn after turn 10 and have a full hand of minions that would benefit from the buff, that card is going to make my deck broken as hell.

[@thetacog]

Why does everyone say that Hunter can't have any cards in their hand by turn 10 with a board advantage? I've done it tons of times with my Big Deathrattle deck still near full health.

[@edivangoncalves38]

18:52 >Ben Brode stops Kripp and regret: Yeah! But now's the Witchwood expansion, we have a surprise card that reduce your minions mana cost! !!!!!!! (Must be read on Ben-Brode's-capslocker mode)

[@AsterDXZ]

Forest Guide for potential mill Druid?

[@darkyte5323]

would call pet work with hunting mastiff echo??

[@КтунизАнкиража]

Godfrey.......crazy legendary......

[@stillprophet7529]

Godfrey Baratheon?

[@ZeptarZGreat]

К'тун из Ан'киража the effect animation is pretty insane also

[@1234andrewjacksmith]

I mean when you think about it if it kill one minion it is a Flamestrike whole board plus summon a 4/4 who is not effected by said damage and it just get's better per kill each round of it's effect

[@DDPMonster]

Kudo TV no no no Gilbert Godfrey.

[@instabile1984]

i wanted that card for warrior....

[@Joe-cr1yl]

12:11 I can already taste the salt when people get doomsayer as their 2 cost minion lol.
