[@steer1118]

Phew it's good to know i'm still the most powerful creature so far with this expansion.

[@macmusial9958]

Of course you are, Stoneskin Gargoyle, of course you are.

[@aarongutierrez7705]

For some reason, this is going to get likes ^

[@fullmetal1408]

Stoneskin Gargoyle Roleplayer DansGame

[@hammockfather6992]

Stoneskin Gargoyle Don't let Wisp hear you speaking such sentiments.

[@krazington2611]

Of course you will be, why else would we buy Naxxramas.

[@blyjd91]

That's a really avant-garde camera layout. I quite like it.

[@TheMonkeyWithTheHat]

GunvorPlays I agree.

[@keiganogrady7481]

GunvorPlays and now i know what avant-garde means ^_^

[@blyjd91]

pizza dog Glad to be of service :)

[@kieranbrooks10]

Wow, somehow I watched the whole video but still had to go and look again to understand your comment???? I'm really inattentive.

[@Hardstylez4Eva]

GunvorPlays I'm to stupid to understand what that means, but have a thumps up anyways, because it sounds good.

[@SageVallant]

Oh, Trump, you're so narrow-minded. The DREAM with Coldarra Drake and Maiden of the Lake is Majordomo Executus. 80 damage distributed around the board randomly.

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

19 mana combo are as impossible as it gets

[@morganjones2925]

Mike E You forgot Fallen Hero with duplicates and echo of medhiv. You put 6 fallen heroes on board with Maiden of The Lake. Allowing you to deal 140 damage randomly distributed amongst the board.

[@pedroh3043]

Morgan Jones unfortunately blizzard stated that this mechanics wont work with lord J. or rag

[@morganjones2925]

pedro h I thought that was the Justicars hero power upgrade. The fallen hero power I think just increases the damage dealt by the Hero Power, even increasing the damage a Warlock deals to himself with his hero power. But I didn't actually watch the announcement.

[@janeweber8654]

shuvo rahman You don't have to play them all in one turn. If you're playing control you can be rag, keep them both alive until the turn you have ten mana to Hero Power ten times.

[@iwantmynameback8914]

Wow nice Job Jens this looks amazing compared to the stream.

[@3creeperbooboos]

This is so much better than the stream.

[@finleyhobbs6031]

Yeah the massive crash and the insane lag

[@TheAndroiD619]

Finley Hobbs and of course there is no twitch's cancer chat

[@Guiskillet]

TheAndroiD619 resuming it all, twich sucks?

[@TaguianBassment]

God I'm so exited to test new types of control Paladin, This is going to be amazing! *Gets turned into chicken*

[@victor97O6]

TaguianBassment I liked this comment, this was a good comment :)

[@papperdakVG]

TaguianBassment gets punned by trump "another cool giant (and he is talking about the ice giant when he says that.)"

[@videotroll72]

Justicar trueheart on priest. You now heal for 4 Now play velen, as long as its on the board you heal for 8 now with auchenai soulpriest added, you have a DIE INSECT that you can target

[@YaBoiBigSmoke147]

videotroll72 The problem with all of these sorts of combos is that the chance that you manage to get all of these cards and stick them on the board long enough to actually use your hero power is so small it just wont be relevant

[@videotroll72]

I have gotten to do the velen+soulpriest+hero power combo several times. what makes Trueheart so good is that it doesnt need to be on the board for it to work. So now I can do the same sort of combo as before but now I only need auchenai on the board. and If I manage to get velen as well it makes it insane.

[@cdw8493]

videotroll72 add garrison commander to the mix, and you have DIE INSECT that is aimable and you can use it twice....

[@Sonarico97]

videotroll72 and even without velen justicar+soulpriest+heal still a pretty good combo (but does shadowform improve from justivar too?)

[@cdw8493]

Sonarico97 no, trump said it only affects the original hero ability so lord j. And rag. Won't work

[@TheWanderingLPer]

The Mega Dream: Coldarra Drake, Justicar, Lady of the Lake, and Fallen Mage, Turn 10, ping for 30 damage. Possible? Not even close.

[@Gebirges]

Issun McGoodmage Coldarra Drake, Maiden of the Lake and 2x Fallen Hero. Costs less and is more powerful.

[@nujumkey]

What if you rope though? Its the new patron!

[@TheWanderingLPer]

Gebirges (Zockt Games) Yeah but the Justicar can die and her effect will still be useful.

[@LexaByteNV]

Issun McGoodmage Trolden.

[@Redskull1411]

Issun McGoodmage I think that CAN be possible with some REALLY lucky Pilote Shredders summoning one Fallen Hero(and we know how dissapointing or sick the shredders can be).

[@ShadyRedSniper]

Who else is here to find out who the next Dr. Balance is? Kappa

[@TyranusRex721]

Beast control hunter. I will never stop trying to get this deck to work.

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

That's just sad

[@eltostado3304]

Beast hunter is quite popular in early ranks (but its aggo)

[@TyranusRex721]

Person Person I know, but I prefer control to aggro.

[@bloodbane93]

Here comes the new Hemet Nesingwary meta :^)

[@REALwoombath]

TyranusRex721 A man can dream about the 100% succesful cancer cure. Maybe one day...

[@acidpop97]

All these new shaman cards. Thank you Blizzard.

[@genestarwind928]

Adlan Raid unless we don't get more

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

All we now need is solid legendary. That doesn't fuck us up with overloaded or it isn't another Murloc one

[@gabrokkerhun]

shuvo rahman New Shaman legendary summons 6 random totems costs 8 mana and has 10 overload and has 1/2 stat...feeling buffed yet?

[@orangejoey1459]

So basically you get every totem in the game... Awesome

[@gabrokkerhun]

It's random so...want some healing totems in the house Yo?

[@frankanderson3368]

New expansion coming out and I'm here still trying to finish naxx

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Really man your are very slow, naxx has been out for a year you should have gotten naxx months ago,

[@frankanderson3368]

Well sound the time I was doing it when it first came out u got up to the sludge Belcher wing. Then gvg came out and I started buying those instead. Mistake tho because I really should have got kelthasad and mad scientist sooner and the gvg packs pulls were really bad.

[@someidiotfromover7yearsago]

Mega Sabledude I still havent purchased a single wing of BRM.

[@MasterMinecraft1000]

I decided to buy only the 2nd wing, but I brought all of the BRM wing cuz I like the dragons.

[@williamduong2736]

I have 1 BRM and 2 Naxx

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

As someone who has never cared about the meta or ladder, my sole goal is to set up a Cordana Drake, Maiden In the Lake, Majordomo combo. DIE INSECTS!!!!

[@mathijss.8347]

Nate Puterbaugh and the secret you cant die ofcouse, also i commented that combo on nox vid like 2 days ago XD

[@FormerRuling]

Drake won't affect rag :\

[@mathijss.8347]

Anthony Landrum yes it will. the justiceer dude wont drake will ;)

[@kingbromigoman778]

+Mathijs Saccol i hope by now you can look back at this comment and realize the fact that you sounded dumb

[@mathijss.8347]

king bromigoman why its still valid what i said, you are sounding dumb right now

[@k-master973]

This look a lot better on here than on the stream

[@JohnClausen]

It took me a while to realize that Justicar Trueheart's ability is a Battlecry. That makes it SO much better than I first thought it was.

[@Mentiac]

"Believe me I salivate at the thought of making two guys when I press the button" Oh Trump, you and your dirty talk~

[@MrVintag33]

This video is amazing with 1080p60 HD, that is the greatest value I have gotten from this expansion!

[@remnant24]

_Battlecry: Replace your starting Hero Power with a better one_ Gul'Dan: "lol"

[@lagg1e]

I come from reddit and I'm so glad I increased the speed. At 1.5x speed there's all upside, still perfectly understandable but I'm not here for an hour

[@Jcdlf7]

As soon as this comes out I'm gonna climb with face hunter mech Mage and patron because they're still better then this since it requires you getting to ten mana for good value

[@genestarwind928]

George the hacker Yah, I am willing to bet a lot of cancerous douches will do the same. There are like maybe 2-3 cards that might work in the current meta decks, and everything else is way too slow. Cancer will continue to rule facestone.

[@genestarwind928]

shuvo rahman 10:1 their attempts to make the game more control oriented fails horribly, just like BRM did. The few rush cards they add in will be added to already disgustingly cancerous rush decks and made even more efficient. The problem is that the stat allocation of early game is way too good, and there is NOTHING that will change that outside of insanely OP control tech cards, which they apparently won't add. I mean, their apparent 'solution' to rush this expac is using your hero power, and summoning 3/5 on turn 6! You are dead by then.... Even if you could populate the board full of 3/5's it won't matter, because they will just go face and finish you off! Here is how the meta works! It's all about tempo! You fight for the board for the 1st 4 turns, if you win, you go face and win 70% of the time. The other 30% of the time they pull out a huge combo and beat you.

[@ciao_shibe1517]

Please don't be that guy!

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Actually the meta will change, although I do agree some these car dare very slow but there is effects are davestating and worth running for example caldera drake

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Lol I my comment is so fucked up coz of spelling correction

[@ChaosBladewing]

Also, for all those hunters out there: Fallen Hero is secretly your buddy as well. As a two mana card he is a potential shredder pilot if you get him you get to shoot face for more damage SMOrc

[@azzayo8488]

Lock and load enables MIRACLE HUNTER

[@prism1002]

Imagine the dream... you play thaurrissan as a control warrior on turn 5 (coins), reducing shield slam to 0 mana. You play Justicar on turn 6, and sylvanas on turn 7 (with or without a hero power, if the sylvanas is reduce. Your ennemy is a tempo mage, and play cortanas drake and frostbolt your sylvanas. You shield slam your sylvanas, stealing the drake, and do 5 times your hero power (5x4). You gain 20 armor. Opponent rage. Opponent concede. You go on trolden.

[@loricus7319]

Lady of the Lake - new meta Kappa

[@TuUhmazyn]

For reference, GvG added 8 cards to each class, 2 commons, 3 rares, 2 epics, and 1 legendary. Assuming this will be of similar format, lots of class cards we'll get to see soon

[@Tracy_AC]

Trump salivating at the thought of two guys.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa808]

No wonder you're running for president next year, you know so much about hearthstone.

[@AvielMenter]

If I get Fallen Hero through a shredder when playing Hunter, does my hero power deal 3 damage? If I've already used justicar, does it deal 4?

[@MrSockySocks]

***** No, since battlecries aren't activated if it's summoned like that.

[@MrSockySocks]

Oh crap, lol. I don't know how to read. I only saw Justicar. My bad

[@ashleyogden4507]

MrSockySocks But it isn't a battlecry

[@Darkthoughts1234]

MrSockySocks It's not a battle-cry.

[@williamduong2736]

More smorc songs are coming out Kappa

[@Mangs1337]

What happens if you play priest, use Shadowform and then plays Justicar Trueheart? Does she improve your shadowform hero power further? What if you play another shadowform after playing Justicar?

[@Naedox]

What exactly are these new cards if Face Hunter is just going to shit on them?

[@spookyspooky132]

^useless o.O

[@Naedox]

I'll tell you what they WILL inspire. Face Hunters.

[@spookyspooky132]

Naedox I mostly think that face hunter is so simple and non-skillbased that blizzard may as well destroy its power (raise hp by 10, make Alex set hp to 20), because this way the game is not skillbased but rngbased. (Ofc raising hp isn't the only option, but it came to mind and I find the idea quite interesting

[@spookyspooky132]

astonnik XIIV rip the last bracket

[@Naedox]

astonnik XIIV I cannot stand the current RNG that is going on. It's basically teaching new players is that if they're lucky, there's no possible way to fail. Which REALLY makes me wonder if Hearthstone is more luck than actual skill

[@juvygenius]

Something to consider though trump with Poison Blade is if you have a minion on board and use oil, you essentially can turn this into a very nice weapon. Compared to Assassin's Blade, it is lack for being one mana lower. With oil though, the damage Blade can do (5+6+7=18) can exceed Assassin's Blade (3x4=12 if not buffed). The only question becomes if having one less mana is quick enough.

[@JebsonofJeb]

What exactly IS inspire and what does it do?

[@TrumpSC]

Crafty Coin You'll have to watch this video to find out kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4qmhXyJnZ6njK8m40s

[@1138jedimaster]

Crafty Coin It's something that triggers when the hero power is used.

[@jonsnow9982]

Crafty Coin it triggers whenever you use your heropower :P

[@JebsonofJeb]

so its just an inspire text, no real function?

[@erikjohannessen9133]

Crafty Coin Yes? Did you even read what he said? Whenever you use your hero power the effect triggers. For instance on Tournament Medic; Everytime you use your hero power you also restore 2 health.

[@danielyourchuck5902]

A thing to note about the 6 Mana Kodorider, it summons a 3/5 WAR Kodo which could mean it has its separate effect, enchancing the cards value.

[@Woodsy2575]

I'm playing inspire Paladin day 1

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Oh Man U just inspire me to play inspire Pala as well

[@feluto7172]

Woodsy2575 Totem shaman here

[@Mandragara]

Woodsy2575 I'm playing face hunter day 1 ( ง°ل͜°)ง ( ง°ل͜°)ง

[@genestarwind928]

Feluto shaman represent! Fuck pallies! Shaman FINALLY got some class cards that aren't COMPLETE shit!

[@maistanley8770]

Gene Starwind Have you ever heard of a Fire Elemental? Perhaps you've met my friend Whirling Zap-O-Matic?

[@ognyannedev5979]

here is a cool combo: you play maiden of the lake on turn 4, on turn 5 you coin out justicar trueheart and on turn 6 you play coldarra drake. If you're lucky and you pull this off you can get 4 empowered heropowers.

[@FlyingSkyy]

Can inspire be activated more than once?

[@modernkennnern]

FlyingSkyy yes

[@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679]

FlyingSkyy Of course sunny.

[@badgerbane]

FlyingSkyy Several times each turn if you got the right card out. Imagine, 5 3/5 kodos each turn for ten mana, with no card cost. VALUE!

[@Sykomyke]

21:50 The reason you can't think of any is because anything about the 5 mana slot starts to become tech oriented. Boom, Sylvanas, Various other class and neutral legendaries, anything above 5 mana is going to be something specific to that style of deck. Since most of these are specific, they are going to be stat skewed in favor of doing something special.

[@XrtwOGOZPl]

What deck is this?

[@darthfishis]

Its part one of rhe expansion coming out next month

[@Whitsoxrule1]

***** Its a joke

[@pointlesventur3067]

DΛRKNESS_ Malygodadin

[@RamatiKat]

Deathknight everything.

[@user-dl6ke8xm9x]

DΛRKNESS_ Malygos Shaman

[@captaintalon4485]

I feel like Justicar will only benefit in Handlock decks where you're down on health and you've already burned through your lava golems but still have mountain golems to contend with thus making the free draw pretty useful

[@keb7066]

So, do you think Majordomo will potentially become viable with this expansion?

[@OfficialJaffaBair]

The hero power stuff won't work on Rag said Blizzard... Its too OP

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Still 90% chance to die so no

[@maistanley8770]

OfficialJaffaBair That was only about the Justicar I believe

[@mikeyg8772]

quillife 16 damage rag op op op

[@matagatos777]

Oh the Trolden videos that are gonna come out with this expansion!!!! I can't wait

[@Kurix1231]

Well ... Time 2 safe ma Gold

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

U have roughly 8 days

[@CabbageYe]

shuvo rahman it is coming out in august not 8 days

[@silvsilvsilv]

shuvo rahman They didn't say it would be released the 1st of August. For all we know, it could be the 31st.

[@bobjohnson5280]

Isn't going to be like GvG and you get it through card packs?

[@AleskanderPog]

Bob Johnson And how do you buy packs?

[@JebeTheGreat]

I see it now! Both players on 30 HP. Opponent plays a Milhouse. You have two cards in your hand, Lock and Load and e.g. Hunter's Mark. You play Lock and Load. You Hunter's Mark the Milhouse. You get an Arcane Shot from Lock and Load. You hit the face with the Arcane Shot. Repeat 15x Success

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

U do know it adds all hunter cards so if u get anything that's not a spell, the combo is over

[@MrBanarium]

He got Arcane Shot 15 times.

[@JoaoPedroDamaso]

Naxx out? PogChamp

[@MasterLapin]

To make an aggressive card with inspire on it, you could make one with high stats for its mana cost, with: "Can't attack. Inspire: Can attack this turn"

[@masterplusmargarita]

"Frost Giant... 10 mana 8/8, another *cool* giant" I see what you did there!

[@SgtBallsworth]

I know it's difficult to evaluate these cards given that we were only shown a small percentage of the expansion so far, but I think you should take more into consideration when you look at cards like justicar trueheart. Clearly it isnt a card that is going to be played for its stats, and I dont think there is any deck that would play it for its effect ON ITS OWN. But look at all the other cards already released that revolve around pressing the button: maiden of the lake reduces cost to 1 mana, mages can lay down cards that further empower their hero power, and several cards allow you to cast is more than once per turn. I think when looking at Justicar Trueheart in constructed, you will have to look at how she works in the deck as a whole, because this new inspire mechanic is going to synergize with a majority of cards from this expansion. That being said, only time will tell, cant wait

[@Merivio]

I think the way Inspire is supposed to work is to have multiple inspire minions on the board at once. Then suddenly, your value spirals out of control. The problem is, it's difficult to do that with generally underpowered cards. So I think if there are successful decks that run it, it'll have aggro low cost cards, to start the game, and take the board, and then inspire cards to finish.

[@UndeadPun1sher]

As a shaman lover, i am so excited for all the awesome new shaman cards!

[@cowmanroks]

I'm only 16 minutes into the video but if you haven't watched it yet I suggest watching the video with 1.25 speed. It's not to fast to not be able to understand him and it makes watching the video much easier.

[@snowstorm9818]

one interesting synergy is that if you have a maiden of the lake out and play jarraxus, you will be able to insta summon a dread infernal. Will this probably see any play? No. Does using thaurissan on jarraxus have the same effect, and better? Yes. Still, it's kinda interesting

[@lkjkhfggd]

I think Justicar will be great in Priest or Warrior. Healing for 4 each time you hero power is enough to out heal an aggressor's late game attempts to finish you off, and doubling the power is so powerful when considering Auchenai Soulpriest or Warrior's general tanking strategy. I don't think she's worth playing in any other deck though. We'll have to wait and see though.

[@chibiraptor]

I know trump doesn't really read these comments, but whatever. There's been a few games, I believe, where trump was playing shaman and he said "I need taunt totem to potentially win". If you're looking SPECIFICALLY for taunt totem, then Justicar Trueheart pretty much quadruples the power of your hero power. The expected value of return on your shaman hero power is 1/4th of every totem. If you want one specific totem, then your hero power is only worth 1/4th of a totem. I've always considered Healing Totem and Stoneclaw totem to be, by far, the best of the 4; Shaman is kinda pushed towards a midrange kind of deck, and those two totems are really good at helping you maintain your board control. Blocking any one attack and ignoring all increments of 1 damage makes your board a lot tougher to deal with. If you consider those two totems to be the only good ones, then the expected value of return on the hero power, as-is, is 50% of those totems. Justicar doubles that to 100% of whatever totem you want.

[@GriffLaw-PoleDancer]

chibiraptor That's why Justicar is a legendary~

[@chibiraptor]

Griff Law I know. But trump (and people in general) seem to think that Choosing a totem isn't anywhere near Doubling the power of the hero power, as other classes have. There is some logic to considering the choice of totem as "Doubling"

[@MrPatrick5333]

The Problem with cards like Garrison Commander is that for example the rogue doesn't really get any advantage out of it, except you control any cards with the inspire effect

[@Chimeratics]

Why does mage continue to get such solid cards? It's the only class that has multiple competitive options as is, give that class some crap cards blizz.

[@G0DOFMILK]

Brett DiPasquale You've hardly seen any other class cards...

[@Chimeratics]

I mean in general, just would like to see other classes get some of the love mage does with their class cards.

[@ConlanHale]

Warlock - Zoo, Malygos, Handlock Hunter - Hybrid, Midrange Warrior - Patron, Control Druid: Ramp, Midrange, Aggro Paladin: Midrange, Secret Shaman: Totem, Midrange, Zeus Rogue: Oil, Control Priest, Dragon, Control "Mage is the only class with multiple competitive options" Edit: You forgot the shit cards like Soot Spewer and Dragon's Breath

[@HoiSourced]

Mage doesn't even have the best decks right now.

[@user-ko1bg5wg8n]

Conlan Hale also the GvG Legendary foe mages sucks

[@TerryHesticles87]

The simple fact that the Inspire mechanic has a sort-of snowball effect with the hero power (the longer they stay on the board), seems to me the meta might slow down a bit. Force opponents to trade (sometimes unfavorably) with your inspire minions or be overwhelmed by their effects.

[@conypony3411]

It's important that you think of the effects from your hero power aswell. It's not just so that a card with inspire costs 2 more mana and that's it. Example: the Silver Hand Regent won't be a 5 mana 4/4 because you also get a guy from your hero power, therefor it would be a 5 mana 5/5 split into 3 minions (witch also will give spawning effects such as a knife jugler's knife)

[@pooscooper]

I still have faith in the Kragg. If you can manage to get Southsea Captain and one other pirate, it's basically a Doomguard with no downside. 2 captains, and it's even better. This sounds sort of hard to pull off, but I think more pirate synergy will be announced to make this guy playable

[@TheZedman5000]

Token paladin will be a deck, everyone, with all these new cards. Taking Muster + Quartermaster to a whole new level, one that every paladin player will probably find really fun when it works.

[@keikuru1]

This expansion has some really cool artwork. I love some of the color contrasts, some of the cards would look amazing as gold as well. Nexus guys are some of the coolest creatures in Warcraft, they're like electric toilet paper guys and I love them. :3

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Electric toilet paper lol

[@ImmortalisPeregrinu]

Roll Fizzlebeef Do you mean, like, Mana Wyrms? Or Ethereals?

[@keikuru1]

***** Ethereals ^_^

[@Conor3006]

Shoutout to northernlion

[@keikuru1]

Conor Mesure aww it's amazing how much impact that character made, i still get recognized from that game all this time later. crazy :)

[@leigonlord5382]

do remeber the value of your hero power increases for every inspire you have. a card might not be worth if is on its pown but when your entire board is inspire and your hero power becomes insane

[@nikkis.2066]

"I salivate at the thought of making two guys when I press the button" lmao that just sounds hilarious as fuck xD

[@BrandinooWOW]

Lock and load imo won't create control hunter. It'll create mech hunter where you fill your hand with spare parts. Sure it'll be a slower hunter deck because you can play things like toshley, but it'll still be hunter and it'll be mech based, so it'll be fast still

[@pretzels2]

Justicar Trueheart + Garrison commander. 8 armor gain per turn is so crazy to think of in a late game control warrior.

[@AlexanderHarris]

24:10 - There are a lot of bad spell cards, but I think a bad spell is quite a bit or at least moderately better when your opponent can't play around it. It's the element of surprise bonus.

[@sunshinejameth]

Funny thing that could happen: say you have nexus champion sarad and coldarra drake. If you hero power and get innervate every time (yes I realize the odds of that are very low but it's possible) you can just ping forever!

[@casmx7300]

Still watching the video so there may be more cards I'll comment on, but as far as the Skycap'n pirate legendary, he's bad 'right now'. We may see some pretty amazing pirates come out with this set and if a pirate deck could become a thing where most minions you play are pirate, he could be quite good. Let's see where we stand on pirates once we know all the cards.

[@jr5738]

"Frost giant another very COOL giant"......didn't even notice his own pun hahaha

[@BlitzIn4]

For Justicar Trueheart 23:30 - What about the 2/3 games where you don't draw her by turn 6 or the times when you are forced to use your hero power before turn 6 or how using the hero power on turn 7,8,9, and 10 will screw up your mana curve? She's too expensive, but useful, look at all of the odd decks today.

[@bindair_dundat]

Ball of Balance (6 mana) Summon 3 Savannah Highmanes. Small Game Hunter (2 mana 2/1) Destroy a minion with an Attack of 7 or lower. Dr. Annoy-o-Tron (7 mana 7/7) Summon 2 Annoy-o-Trons.

[@TheMcsqueez]

But trump, the justicar's effect to change your hero power for a new one is a battle cry, which means it's permanent, not a continuous effect as long as the monster is alive. It's the wording.

[@eFRapidfire]

What he said about needing to use your button 4 times to get value from trueheart is still true. Im pretty sure he knows what battlecry is

[@pixelmeth]

44:05, duplicate DOES trigger off mad scientist dying; if the opponent kills your scientist on their turn, and you get duplicate, your scientist is immediately duplicated.

[@bord2heck]

I think justicar is actually pretty good in shaman. Depending on the situation and deck, you have either a small taunt every turn (i am become hogger, destroyer of worlds), or spell power, or situationally get better trades than you would otherwise with the healing totem. And no more 1/1s

[@FancyOrb]

You see a hearthstone new hero for $97 but you don't have enough money to buy it. You borrow $50 from your mum, and you borrow $50 from your dad. You go buy the new Hero, and your change is $3. You decide to give $1 back to your mum and $1 back to your dad and keep $1 for yourself. You now owe your mum $49 and your dad $49 so $49+$49= 98 and your $1 makes $99... Where is the missing $1?

[@eliasandersson8236]

That does not even make sense you understand that you borrowed a $100 and paid back $2 and i asume you know 100-2=98 And now i look like a fool who fell for a troll

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

Lol rekt XD

[@smurfdaddy420]

You're supposed to give 1.50 to your parents not 1.

[@genestarwind928]

FancyOrbHS order of operations

[@shuai420]

Your $1 doesn't make it $99, but rather $97. You paid the cashier $97, paid back $2 (+ $1) to your parents and now you owe them $97. You're just mixing up debt and cash.

[@CuriousMoth]

Justicar, Maiden, Coldarra, Fallen Hero, if you manage to make them stick you've probably won anyway, but it's theoretically possible to do 30 damage worth of fireblasts in one turn XD

[@voodoominerman]

Let me tell you about the real dream. Turn 8: Coldarra Drake + Fallen Hero Turn 9: Maiden + Nexus Champ Turn 10: Smack your enemy for 20 with hero powers, smash him in the face with your drake, and even if he survives the attack, you have a hand full of spells.

[@BandWagon1987]

In arena, I predict a complete snowball meta where some of these cards will completely dominate with the lack of good removal. New meta, draft only removal and snowball, win.

[@KarimAlwaysPlays]

Now that I think about it. Justicar Trueheart can be very OP in Control Priest Decks. like Justicar Trueheart + Prophet Velen means you heal 8 health each turn for just 2 mana

[@saulgoodguy1840]

The hunter dream- turn 7 Justicar Trueheart, turn 8 coldarra drake, turn 9 maiden of lake w/ other stuff, turn 10 deal 30 damage to face

[@pixelmeth]

I don't think you would run quick shot in a lock and load deck, the draw effect from lock and load triggers before the draw from quick shot triggers, so your hand would never be empty. Quick shot would become a frostbolt that doesn't freeze.

[@kyrizzledrizzle5485]

I frickin love how blunt he is with his review.

[@dakotakade3547]

I think because the text on Maiden is "your hero power costs 1" and not 1 less means it doesn't stack to 0 mana hero power. If it did mage could 0 mana fireblast you till you're dead with Drake.

[@curlyray33]

I think skycap'n kragg would actually be decent enough to inspire some viable pirate rogue, warrior or paladin decks if it was just a rare and you could run two.

[@newyakkocity8267]

With all these amazing new two drops, Worgen Infiltrator value is gonna skyrocket

[@jackbandit2114]

Garrison commander in a shadow form priest deck. 36:04 no love for flame totem which is also amazing? Granted not as good as the two you mentioned, but it's definitely a well above average roll for this card which basically means at least 3/8 are really good. It would basically make it a 3mana 5/2 with a 0/3 pseudo taunt. Then all the other totems are situational so they could be really good depending on if/when you get it. A 1/8 chance to summon a specific totem isn't that bad of odds. 2/8 are always good like you said so it's basically 1/4 for something amazing and 1/6 for something potentially good depending on your board state. I personally think this card is amazing, but my judgement for value isn't great.

[@everyvillainislemons9759]

Mage - Turn 9: Sylvanas + Effigy... When Sylvanas dies, Effigy pops out Piloted Sky Golem -> Piloted Shedder -> Millhouse

[@willaimshat]

Nice! I like how you placed your webcam capture in the AT scene!

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

lock and load -> lock and load -> mark -> arcane shot -> quick shot for 7 hunter cards

[@cynicritschris4996]

I think for inspire decks to have a chance Lady of the Lake had to be a 4-cost 2/5(or 4) that made your hero power cost 0. Powerful I know, but that's the kind of push that inspire needs to be fast enough.

[@jacobeden1110]

I can see a one-of garrison commander going into Paladin. Turn 6 or 7 commander make two guys, turn 8 muster and quartermaster. Boom, full board. This also works with Silver Hand Regent, too, so I fail to see how either of them is bad. Worst case scenario they end up having passable stats and only netting you an extra guy with no quartermaster.

[@leramar]

Justicar, used only in Warrior, Paladin and sometimes Priest. I forgot what the other classes actually had haha.

[@Specter053]

Maybe putting Frost Golem on a Squire Paladin, with things like Muster for Battle, quatermaster, the 3/3 for 3 with Inspire and such? This would be pretty interesting.

[@Endergrass]

An agro inspire card could be like 1 mana 2/1 inspire: deal 2 damage to the enemy hero or maybe like windfury.

[@cdw8493]

Please no.... Hunters would play turn 1 hero ability turn to... That's 4 damage... Now imagine that but with 4 of them (2 deck cards + faceless) thats 10 damage with hero ability... You would be dead in 3 turns

[@he-gaming9233]

Who else thinks that "Charrrrrrge" is going to be a special version of charge that will do something like "all your pirates gain charge this turn", kinda like how Voltron's got a special windfury. Just a hypothesis.

[@casmx7300]

Okay, Trump didn't make the comparison but you can basically look at Fallen Hero as another Steamwheedle Sniper for mage. Fallen Hero is a bit better since their effects can stack but otherwise, it's a 2 cost minion with 2 cost minion stats that turns your hero power into a 2 damage targeted nuke. Steamwheedle Sniper isn't 'that' good, so I suspect this guy won't be 'that' good either.

[@DFox-kv9pi]

Steam wheedle would be better if huntard had more than one deck type.

[@Jsuelieta]

I look forward to the inevitable wave of totemic shaman decks that revolve around inspire and totems. Totemic Might stops collecting dust for about a week.

[@buczotwock4744]

i think you have missed Justicar's potential in the priest decks. Priests already have what it takes to take a game into very late, possibly exhaust battles. Heal 4 is obviously great in this scenario and potential Soulpriest synergy is crazy

[@HaloBalla]

Nexus-Champion Saraad used as a warrior getting Blade Flurry for a Gorehowl (+ Upgrade weapon); hit face for 8 then everything including face for 8. ^_^

[@OArchivesX]

I think emperor tarzan combined with these is obviously going to be crazy with hero power synergy.

[@fusobotic]

Nexus-Champion so far looks like the card to craft. Really good for mid-late game draw. After that maybe Justicar?

[@multicolourmadness2712]

You go for the ballista shot, maiden of the lake and Coldarra drake turn 10, if they both live, 10x3 damage and you win
