Card Review | Hearthstone | Dr. Boom's Incredible Inventions Card Review #4

[@hammerdall]

I sure hope that Evolve Shaman is coming back with Rocket Hopper in the pool

[@MegaBattleship]

I'm considering this....

[@gibblefoon399]

I agree

[@aloe8694]

The votes are so close

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

I sure hope that Evolve Shaman isn't coming back with Rocket Hopper in the pool.

[@MegaBattleship]

.... and this to just be a poll on Evolve shaman 😂

[@gibblefoon399]

I agree

[@gavinlopez6258]

The votes are so close

[@CAMERONJTC97]

What is this meme

[@audreymoulton4926]

i would kill to make that a reality

[@zakmaniscool]

I do not have enough information to give my opinions on Evolve Shaman coming back with Rocket Hopper in the pool.

[@TheJackMouse]

Ah yes, the 4 Mana 7/7 made into a 5 mana 10/10. Classic.

[@nickjason4480]

Looking forward to the 6 mana 15/15

[@Dragonfireforcex]

Looking forward to the 10 mana 30/30 charge

[@zaursiukaev7162]

I have no strong feelings about Evolve Shaman is coming back with Rocket Hopper in the pool

[@rilleraail]

....yet

[@alex2d]

Blizzard: "Lets give Paladin a big ole 8/8 they can make cheaper over the course of the game!" Paladin players dropping Sea Giants on turn 2: "Hm?"

[@jthagan8264]

I can't help but feel like every one of these card reveals would be fun in Duels. WHY

[@icebergerplays9639]

Your right tho

[@cotnesiradze3520]

Twisted pack will be interesting in wild, where it works very well with the gnolls, as well as activating your Velarok on curve

[@unkarsthug4429]

Also instantly completing Bazaar burglary. I could actually see the quest working if it only takes one 1 mana card to complete. Or at least, if this doesn't make it work somewhere, absolutely nothing will.

[@alex2d]

I feel like all these 'pack' cards would become a lot more interesting and fun if they put "They cost (1) less" on them

[@chaninakosovske6567]

Yea they go from almost unplayable to playable, it’s like discover but 5 options and only that turn

[@dj66800]

Evolve Shaman coming back, with Rocket Hopper in the pool? In this economy?!

[@WavemasterAshi]

A 10/10 for FIVE? Incredible value!!!

[@AntheanCeilliers]

I love how you shout-out the HS creators who reveal things. ❤ you're very supportive

[@PettyGamerBoy]

13:50 “we’ve also got some big honkers in here too.” Wow Regis just wow.

[@BlueSapphyre]

Rocket Hopper dies to doomblade.

[@chandraliu9159]

U forgot it dies to Hemet and bgh too

[@punker2534]

Thanks for shouting out the person who revels the cards.

[@SanityDrop]

Hopper is a slight buff to pack the house I guess. Also murloc growfin is completely outshined by 9 mana Zilliax.

[@cakeyeater7392]

zilliax *is* a legendary, so that makes sense.

[@adambyrne7795]

I can't believe they were printing Rocket Hopper with Shroomscavate in the pool giving shaman access to cheap wind fury. Turn 6 20 face damage is kind of tilting in standard

[@ddublu]

I happened to evolve into Hir'eek in arena the other day. A fitting symbol of the 'mixed bag' that are legendaries of the past.

[@norbelarchilla5578]

Twisted packs could also give you locations, hero cards, depression and diabetes

[@chaninakosovske6567]

Rocket hopper and the Murdock makes me want to play big shaman, where I shall play enough stuff that the opponent wants to target removal that they run out of target removal and I run away with the game

[@shenronsgoldfish]

Flickering light bot would be good in reno lists if the mirage gets fixed to not disappear when you play a mini card (i assume gigantify would also eat the mirage)

[@paulomatute4114]

I like Flickering lightbot design

[@maximal99334]

I quite like the Twisted Pack, probably my favourite card of the Miniset so far.

[@meanberryy]

Growfin goes great in renoblock. Great 1 drop that gives a great shudderblock target for late.

[@jnorthey9]

I see a lot of confusion on azerite murloc because it uses ALL. The major distinction between azerite murloc and doomsayer etc. is ALL followed by YOUR MINIONS, which means all of your minions wherever they are. Because otherwise why capitalize all? there a lot of board wide buffs that just say all of your minions no capital all, but they wanted to fit the text nicely without saying "wherever they are" so they capitalized all. Now every other time ALL is used, it's like wave of nostalgia where it just means all minions on board, since they don't want to write out all of your minions and all of your opponents minions as that takes up a bunch of real estate on the card as well. Generally hearthstone uses shortcuts like these to simplify cards that could otherwise have super long card descriptions, hopefully how I wrote that wasn't too convoluted or anything.

[@fossy365]

Dust bunny cutest card of the year

[@Necrodoge]

The duality

[@EdithKFrost]

Does the past mean in wild but not in standard?

[@nessy3098]

Yesterday I played some evolve shaman with rocket hopper. I am in my pool.

[@OrthodoxRabbiBillClinton]

Wave of nostalgia good for taking on a 7/24 primus tho

[@jwp829]

With rocket hopper you can go turn 8, hopper and Thorim to draw 4 and make your t9 completely free

[@alexandrebertone4351]

Both my opinions on evolve shaman coming back with Rocket Hopper on the pool exist at the same time thanks to quantum physics

[@PettyGamerBoy]

Bro at 1:07 did y’all hear Regis say “Rocket Humper”? What the heck reeg?

[@junshanluo14]

Overload is an okay mechanic. Its just borrowing manas.Also we still have that one overload ramp guy for 2 mana.(disciple of golganneth) Coin it out turn 1 and ramp frog to 3 mana turn 3 skip turn 4 sounds alright cooking to me

[@KraylebStudios]

I feel like the 5 mana 10/10 should have "battlecry: deal 4 damage to all enemies" or something so theres more impact

[@vanjalazarevic6326]

Actually, the next expansion is water based, or rather beach based as showcased on the full year teaser art.

[@rickdaniel7341]

Pirates?

[@gardian06_85]

I am pretty sure the Wave of Nostalgia could brick the opponents deck because of "ALL" whenever they have used the all capitals "ALL" it basically means everywhere where revolve used lower case "ALL". the twitter vid they showed would be inconclusive because the shaman didn't have a hand, and if the paladin had drawn like a King Crush or something it would be more conclusive in either direction.

[@moreregis]

It's been confirmed it's only board. It is confusing though, don't worry. This comment below yours explained it well: "Isee a lot of confusion on azerite murloc because it uses ALL. The major distinction between azerite murloc and doomsayer etc. is ALL followed by YOUR MINIONS, which means all of your minions wherever they are. Because otherwise why capitalize all? there a lot of board wide buffs that just say all of your minions no capital all, but they wanted to fit the text nicely without saying "wherever they are" so they capitalized all. Now every other time ALL is used, it's like wave of nostalgia where it just means all minions on board, since they don't want to write out all of your minions and all of your opponents minions as that takes up a bunch of real estate on the card as well."

[@gardian06_85]

@@moreregis then at the very least they should put the "ALL" to lower case, as we already have effects like Revolve, and Plague of Murlocs which effects the entire board, and just the board, and uses the word "all" (probably a day 1 patch for consistency to existing effects)

[@PenitusVox]

Wave of Nostalgia says "ALL minions" so that should mean ones in hand and deck as well, right? Typically the uppercase ALL seems to mean all cards everywhere.

[@StrumstarHammer]

Nah, doomsayer says ALL minions too, it's just capitalized to emphasize the effect hitting the entire board.

[@cakeyeater7392]

​@@StrumstarHammer but azerite murloc also says ALL, so there is a bit of ambiguity

[@moreregis]

It's just board, but the confusion is warranted, as they've been weirdly inconsistent with this notation.

[@RaventhortheWarrior]

Coulda sworn they usually say (wherever they are) but after looking up azerite murloc, it in fact only says ALL. Weird

[@TheMikester9]

"ALL minions" has always meant both your minions and your opponents minions that are on board only. The only card (I think) that causes any confusion is the Azerite Murloc, but that card says "ALL your minions." So if it isn't affecting your opponent, you can infer that ALL means hand and deck in that specific context. Otherwise, the old rule withstands. In the Past, "ALL your minions" would have just been written as "all your minions (wherever they are)" but they probably just didn't have space to fit that text on Azerite Murloc.

[@sk8rdman]

As someone who's been playing a lot of Tess rogue, the Twisted Pack does not look very appealing to me at all. The main problem with all of these "pack" cards is that current Hearthstone has so many ways of drawing or generating cards that it's rare you ever have the space in hand to hold 5 additional cards, unless maybe you're a supper aggressive low curve deck. This is doubly true for Tess decks which already have so many better ways of generating cards from other classes. You very quickly generate a hand full of cards faster than you can play them, and the puzzle becomes "what can I play now that doesn't get me even more cards". Even many of the cards from other classes end up drawing or generating more cards. If the Twisted Pack has any merit, it may be that any cards you don't want from it won't get stuck in hand, but you still have to wait until late in the game to be able to play the cards you get, and having the hand space for it is still a problem.

[@Roggoll]

a 0 mana 3/3 that draws a card/replaces itself is gonna see play in every paladin deck

[@gul160]

my 4 mana 7/7 ptsd just started to flare outta no where seeing this frog.

[@incocnicto]

Hey Regis, wondering how the move to this channel for hearthstone content has gone. I assume less views on hearthstone videos, but more views on Marvel snap on the other channel?

[@moreregis]

Honestly not even that many fewer views here. Deck videos were immediately doing 30k+, which is about what I'd expect over there. The real test will be how we do through an entire expansion cycle, the. I'll have more good data. But yeah, Snap is doing well there. I'm getting 70k+ for most videos. Pretty much the #1 Snap channel by views and one of the few going up in views.

[@incocnicto]

@@moreregis good to hear, thanks for replying! I'm not a Marvel Snap player myself, but have watched and enjoyed a few of your snap videos too - much support. New hearthstone miniset looks fun so far

[@ItsDKoda]

More rng discoveries of lightning bolt. (Dust bunny with knife) Gonna love to get skullfucked by the rng of people getting random rocks

[@OptimisticRealizer]

Flickering Lightbot would have been good in a Libram meta but now hell no.

[@jarredjenkins8054]

Hearthstone 2024 In an overload deck it is actually 5 Mana 10/10 wtf Top end of an aggro deck play it as a finisher, can smash through taunts for your other minions to go face, hits for 10. In a big shaman deck that can cheat things out, or revive, or copy minions it's great.

[@orneitedprince364]

4 mana 7-7? Nah 5 mana 10-10 with rush

[@samlund4410]

Rocket hopper dies to shang chi

[@TheUberTangelo]

That rocket hopper is so much worse than king mukla tho

[@UhOhItsFlux]

Wait…so Rocket Hopper can be discovered off that Paladin spell that discovers and summons a 5 cost minion with +1+1 or a 1 cost with +5+5??

[@petersimonetti4875]

This is like a Reddit comment section with all the comments referencing comments 😭

[@antoncvetkov8602]

I dont think adding cards to your hands, counts as drawing them

[@moreregis]

No one said it did. If you add 5 cards to your hand, then use Gaslight Gatekeeper to draw, you'll get 5 extra cards because your hand is now 5 cards larger.

[@robbyw.8616]

22nd

[@Vict0rRezn0v]

Been enjoying these reviews regis! 1 note I have that you(not just you) say a lot is how much you focus on the stat lines of early game minions, and while thats a fair way to review a card, i believe you put far too much value on the stat line nowadays. Lots of Decks play understatted minions just because of their effect

[@moreregis]

I agree with your conclusion, but I am not sure which early-game minion's effect from this mini-set has warranted having bad stats? The only effect I've thought was good was the Demon Hunter Naga, and it had good stats anyway! Like the bomb shuffler, bad effect. Mage random spells, bad effect. Rock Paper Scissors guy, awful effect. Dust Bunny and the Druid bear have okayish effects I think, but maybe not good enough with their stat lines. The reason you may feel like I'm focusing on stats, is because I'm trying to find an excuse to defend the weak or mediocre effects. If the effect is weak, then you say, well maybe the stats are good?

[@Ruddline]

@@moreregis Really excellent response thank you for that and not just being mad it really helps me understand you!

[@Vict0rRezn0v]

Thanks man I appreciate the reply! I ain't even gonna lie to you when I typed my comment I was hours deep into watching Rarran's card review retrospective videos and i was hung up on how many people "falsely" put down cards based on their stats in the past. Again I appreciate ya and can't wait to use these new cards😃 @moreregis

[@TheBlueFlame112]

cAN ROUGE BECOME GOOD PLZ

[@juafletcher2516]

Idk Regis it sounds like your takes are from a limited experience of the current meta

[@HeEde.]

Rocket Hopper is so bad, it shouldn’t exist at all.
