Anyone notice that Young Murk-Eye is no longer is limited to murlocs only? You can trigger ANY battlecry with it now.

[@williamwolfe9112]

Yeah can't wait for the insane menagerie builds with it proccing on the blood gem buffer and you having a charlga and drakkari enchanter repeating end of turn effects

[@ultraguardian1175]

​@@williamwolfe9112 or act as a menagerie walking fort when paired with Menagerie jug

[@williamwolfe9112]

@@ultraguardian1175 yeah there will be a lot of interesting options with it

[@bluephoniex6356]

@UltraGuardian 117 Hell, a better walking Fort if you have Bran and Seashell protector. Weaker in effects stat wise? A bit, but it hits more taunts and Bran would be more useful than double End of turn Guy so all in all better than walking fort

[@birdiebirds5642]

Looks like Mantid Queen can no longer get divine shield, changed to reborn.

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

I would argue it’s arguably more useful, since it’s possible to give it divine shield from another source, for a total of three, poisoned hits.

[@zukuu]

@@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 No venomous only works once. So it's 2 only if you get reborn.

[@antemorph66]

@@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 it's not poisonous anymore it's venomous. The mantid will die after it kills a minion. Its far far worse now. Giving it divine shield from another source will be one of the more difficult things to do in the game now. Your only options will be playing George, and the tier 5 naga.

[@Deathtobunny1]

@@antemorph66 It can get reborn instead of divine shield now, which should refresh the venomous and make it still viable.

[@williamwolfe9112]

​@@antemorph66 unless they have a tidus blaster combo it would actually be worse to give it divine shield, you want it to die when it attacks to respawn and get another venomous attack off from the reborn adapt

[@CanadianBacon9719]

Pretty interesting shadow buffs to Kalecgos and Young Murk Eye. Kalecgos now trigger on battle cry activation and Young Murk Eye triggers all battle cry minions now, not just murlocs

[@gorgeouszan]

Glad Kripp focused on Elemental of Surprise as well. The moment I saw that I thought it was insane. Being able to give any elementals permanent divine shield through triples with that is really cool.

[@mapmanley]

I wonder how choosing which double it triples works. Maybe like the “Wish” hero power? If you have two (or more) doubles of an elemental it would triple a random one?

[@gorgeouszan]

@@mapmanley most likely

[@MrJsintic]

I said this under RDU's patch review and I'll say it here, Hoggar had to be removed only because of mobile. I had plenty of games with infinite gold that I lost because the game just crashed. Repeatedly. The on attack pirate build doesn't work above a certain mmr theshhold because it doesnt generate enough stats to be competitive, meaning the only viable way to use Pirates was Hoggar apm. Which is an unrealistic way to balance a tribe. We're all sad to see it go because APM pirates is some of the most stressful, yet fun ways to play the game, but it isn't fair that one tribe be balanced around NASA computers.

[@Tylke]

pirates are getting cleave so they dont need stats, beast didnt had much stats with cleave too

[@FacterinoCommenterino]

Today's Fact: The world's largest Hearthstone tournament had a prize pool of over 1 million dollars and was held in Shanghai in 2018.

[@squid1998]

I feel like you’ve done this one before, not gonna go try and find it tho lol

[@shitguy7615]

Did Reynard win it. I can’t remember

[@blablabladingsta]

[@Sastank08]

We're truly witnessing history here. Kripp reading patch notes for a game he plays.

[@Qn1410]

Well basicly he just read the cards desc, not exactly a patch note :P

[@benjaminsimone5097]

Well for the Quilboar avenge (1) play a blood gem on your quilboar, that's a way to keep venomous on the pufferquil after they attack.

[@BloodyFox1]

The Boogiemonster will probably go through 6 stages, I would imagine. You'll have to play minions from tier 1 through 6, and I would assume the effect gets better with each tier. The question will be if there's one big payoff at the end or whether it'll just cycle back to 1.

[@ryanhub5783]

I'm expecting it to cycle back to tier 1 and be the same buff at every tier. I think the wording would be more explicit if the buff improved but I'd also love to be wrong.

[@tomasquestionmark]

@@ryanhub5783 This is what I interpreted as well. +1/+2 for every proc, and once you proc at 6 it goes back to tier 1

[@CTscroll]

Strange tea master replacement

[@Noobie2k7]

@@CTscroll I like it a lot more than Theotar. It's a lot easier to scale with, allows you to still play to your preferred minion types as it's not restricted to tribeless and it also buffs your whole board instead of just 3 minions of different tribes. It also buffs itself making it much better.

[@kingbirdIII]

It's static. Think of how strong teamaster was and you hide to play neutrals to give buffs to only 3 minions

[@ivenstorm]

It's nice to see the fan made Venomous finally made it into the game.

[@boozer305]

I miss the reviews videos. Thank you it’s been forever.

[@zoulzopan]

Weird that cyborg drake appeared in 14:33 Kripps video but it's not there anymore in the website. I wonder if it's been taken out.

[@lordkiller2298]

kripp you missed the fact that mantid queen doesnt get divine shield anymore, it gets reborn so its a plagued tidewalker without the need of another minion

[@zoulzopan]

he missed a lot of stuff tbh.

[@mithicash1444]

He also didn't notice that battlemaster is now +2 health rather than +1. On 4 I think it will be a huge stabalizer for builds pushing tavern

[@lordkiller2298]

@@zoulzopan guess the other stuff wernt any good lol

[@mapmanley]

@@mithicash1444 it’s been like that since they changed to 3 starting health

[@zoulzopan]

@@lordkiller2298 he missed kalecgos and murkeye change also

[@johnyoung2463]

rewind is probably so that demons that give a buff when you take damage work with the soul rewinder.

[@CTscroll]

Record smuggler is going to give plain underhanded dealer +8\+8 each turn if your board is filled with pirates. If dealer is gold it’s +16 / + 16. Pretty good scaling if you get it early, and easier set up than gold grubber with 3 other gold minions. Question is will pure pirates be good enough to run for that to happen

[@Gee_Dub]

9:02 RIP pogohopper

[@MarinoSaltitopo]

In case you didnt notice mantis now gains reborn instead of divince shield

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

With it being venomous and not poison is literally a buff to the card as it effectively is making up for the poisonous change

[@liokostov]

@@iriswaldenburger2315 and its better if it gets hit by leeroy

[@DTIChaos]

Surprised you didn’t talk about the Kalecgos text. Seems like a nice buff.

[@kkme7]

How did Kripp ignore Upbeat Duo? Seems like the strongest neutral addition to me!

[@Noobie2k7]

I agree, especially with Fireworks Fanatic and Brann builds. Can Brann + Duo for a free golden Brann in 2 turns.

[@jimmysthoughts8571]

I've pretty much never liked nor been very successful with mechs but the new changes make it look both a lot cooler and a lot more viable. I have to agree with Kripp that the mech changes probably look the most interesting. I'm also really digging the quilboar changes. Unlike mechs, I've always liked quilboar but I don't feel like they've been very competitive for awhile now. These changes might change that. If nothing else, the changes are also pretty cool so even if it's underwhelming power wise, it'll probably be more fun to play. As a final note, I like the poisonous to venomous changes. It's just really annoying building up a powerful board and getting scammed out of the 1st place you would have otherwise gotten.

[@TyranusRex721]

There is an even bigger change to Dragons. Kalygos now works with Bran. Meaning he triggers twice when Bran triggers a battlecry twice. That is a HUGE buff.

[@c0barsm]

Thanks for the rundown!

[@nirajmehta6424]

no pogo hopper = we riot

[@dembro27]

Hopping mad!

[@naniteslayer]

Hopefully these changes are enough to replace buddies. I quit not long after buddies were removed last time because I enjoyed buddies so much and only returned a few weeks ago during this buddy patch. Buddies just make the game more fun imo (granted with some outliers)

[@ChazzDex]

For me it's the opposite. Buddies and very unbalanced and you take way more damage thanks to them being high tavern tier aviable at low taverns. Together with the health/armor nerfs you'll die way too soon. Also thanks to buddies high rollers are way more frequent and completely wipe the lobby. The buddy meta is either you get lucky and high roll or you die.

[@georgigeorgiev2451]

I literally cannot see any reason for buddies to be removed, HS BG just seems so empty without them. Buddies give identity to each hero, give so much variety and make the game funnier.

[@tsuki7064]

Mantid queen actually gets reborn now instead of divine shield, which works with venomous

[@joshuaborre5513]

Mantid queen is now reborn instead of divine shield so it can still get the two big hits

[@kalamona6598]

The Radio Star is such a cool reference to the "video killed the radio star" song.

[@Darkmage1293]

I'm all for Venomous. The Boogie Monster looks like an fun play for a Galakrond player to shoot through the Tiers for playing the long game, and Upbeat Duo is finally a way to make Fireworks Fanatic a little more consistent. Octosari gives Beast Players an alternative to the Leapfrogger cheese with Felstomper synergy. Demon....looks kind of harder to work with, but has the late game swing potential. Dragon looks a little weaker with a cleave removed, but I suppose that was for balance since Beast also removed a cleave. Elementals losing Master sucks, but it looks like a more consistent type to scale with both its tools (Nomi and Rock Rock), and Elemental of Surprise keys off the Tavern buffs marvelously. I wasn't a fan of random Ragnaros. Mechs FINALLY have a strategy that doesn't need Kangor's, and Polarizing Beatboxer is going to make Demon/Mech hybrids hilarious.....though I'm not sure I agree with them having three six-tier cards (four with demon mech). Murlocs look very trippy and may need a mental shift to play correct since it looks like they work on handbuffing. Deep Blue Crooner is an interesting card, because it does pay out in the long run for Naga builds. Silent Swimmer is going to be a new tech card for anyone to slap onto their Baron or whatever "this dies last" card. Pirates LOOK weak, but I guarantee a certain Goblin is going to MILK this type for all it's worth and then some. Quillboars look fascinating to have a battlecry/deathrattle mix. For Undead, I don't agree with the Incorporeal Captain, but I do like the addition of Xylo Bones as a way to gain stats and Radio Star to have a smidge of economy.

[@HairyButWhole]

Mechs looked fun some synergies with demons (shop buffer and 6star add random magnetic dude). Beatboxer and just spam shop buffed magnetic minions = Value and stats

[@maxlvledc]

How is stealth going to protect against boombox?

[@axl4394]

Missed a big one: Murk-eye's effect now triggers on any minion

[@Geonomos]

holy shit this looks dope!! especially things like the whole magnetic package mechs now revolve around

[@arthurlagneaux4447]

Damn you can create a Triple generator with Radio Star and a Blaster

[@ethohalfslab]

It looks like Kalecgos got reworded to now trigger twice with bran :o

[@tokyodove]

Don't mean to boast, but I've been spruiking the change to poison being a 1 hit effect for a looonnggg time. It completely makes sense when you consider divine shield being a 1 hit effect as well.

[@ComiMax92]

Reborn + venomous = venomous activates twice ?

[@v4enthusiast541]

Seems like it (if the minion has venom automatically instead of being a tacked-on buff given by something else)

[@alche3887]

25:55 - krip : i really like hoggar, but i font like people with normal apm.. khm.. exploit, I mean exploit

[@alphaperez]

do the BG ratings get reset back to 0 when the patch launches?

[@ddogh26]

[@user-td5xt5fm6l]

Will Bassgill summon Bassgill if it's in your hand? It shouldn't right?

[@spaghettitime1124]

Wrath Weaver nerf is gonna hit. Going from +2/+2 to +2/+1 is gonna be wild rough for demons.

[@williamwolfe9112]

They needed to because they added two more demons that you want to cycle, nearly doubling the number of good effects from cycling demons. You'll be continuing to cycle them all game now instead of just until you get to a felbat and sit.

[@gorgeouszan]

Really isn't a big deal to be honest. Wrath weaver usually gets dropped late and early was all about tokens and soul juggler. The new early demons look to scale really well.

[@spaghettitime1124]

[@chickennuggets6283]

damn was thinking murlocs was worst of the bunch until hearing about leeroy

[@mandalf2717]

Bassgill looks strong. Not just with Leroy but Plagued Tidewalker and Operatic as well. Although, I don’t think hand buff murlocs will be all that great

[@steveganfish7146]

Have used it with Bream Counter and you never actually need to play the card. Bassgill seems pretty solid in general.

[@Noobie2k7]

Can't wait for APM Murlocs now that Golden Brann's are easier to get than ever with Upbeat Duo in the game, Brann then Upbeat Duo for a golden Brann in 2 turns, then you just Primalfin and Young Murk-Eye, giving you 3 free Murlocs every turn, some of which will also likely have battlecries, paired with a couple Skyfin and then you're good to go. Then soon as another Duo is in shop you golden the Primalfin, for 6 free murlocs a turn. Dragons now at T6 have a comp for infinite Golden minions. Golden Brann, Murk-Eye and Drakkisath can give you 3 Smolderwing's every turn making a golden copy. The ease of Golden Brann along with Murk-eye now being generic minions I think will open a lot of really fun comps and strategies.

[@johnchristianalcedo9347]

I thought the boogeyman resets after you play a the tier 6 minion. But it doesn't. It will be stuck in tier 6. Not advisable for your scaling.

[@to_tire]

Infinite tunnel blasters with Radio Star pog

@Iris Waldenburger true, considering stats are so paramount so it probably won't help, I am glad it's there though

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

@@Miss_Dis it’s just as bad as Lightfang on 5 … if they put this to 4 it would be actually useful and a good card. The games USUALLY only last till round 9 or 10 on average and it’s just too low impact to be useful at 5 imho. But maybe all the revamps will change the meta, who knows

[@johnbishop7572]

battlemaster is +2 now

[@Edwardkca17]

I noticed that too

[@gbgent5802]

it's been +2 since the Health nerf to 30

[@fieryimmortal]

8:10 Notice how mantid queen doesn't get devine shield anymore, but instead gets Reborn, which will reapply the Venomous. Effectively still 2 poison hits if it gets that

[@gorgeouszan]

True but still weaker overall, so I think this is a good reasonable change for Mantid

[@Maddogs1]

It won't reapply the venomous. Reborn minions return with base stats and no buffs

[@gorgeouszan]

@@Maddogs1 the venomous isn't a buff its a part of the mob. Itll come back with venomous just as reborn Maxenna came back with poisonous

[@88_Mega]

just forgot to mention nerf on kalegos and felbat

[@williamwolfe9112]

Nerf on kalecgos?? It's a huge buff. It's the same buff but it is when a battlecry is triggered, so if you have brann it doubles or triples the amount of buffs kalecgos gives

[@KizaruKizaru]

Ah nice. Remove poisonous (which im happy) but now everyone is gonna be playing leap frog builds only again but now on steroids. You will summon a 200/200 token beast with leap frog buffs and suddenly it becomes 400/400 with banana slamma. Unless banana slamma doubles the base stats of the token which i highly doubt cuz otherwise it would be useless, banana slamma is 100% gonna be removed or heavily nerfed after the first 2 weeks.
