Minion: "Your weapon is Immune."

[@EmeraldzTV]

That would be OP!

[@Nikike999]

rickywolfy101 Nah, it would probably be badly statted and vulnerable to basically anything, just like Runeforge Haunter

[@JoshRioTeixeira]

As a battlecry it would be really strong. Otherwise, eh.

[@SanderMalus]

it already exists (one of the lich king servants), but grants immunity your turn only

I'm going to play 4x ooze in every deck like a scrub and hope to rake in some free concede victories.

[@charterhold1469]

Brian GG Lol, then those people who refuse to use any weapons because they know people will run 4+ ooze.

[@tygonmaster]

Play Harrison Jones too. :^)

[@hermeticascetic]

tygonmaster I'd love to see the return of a Harrison meta

[@RogierBe]

4 oozes? What about 6?

[@w1mark275]

2mana ooze and Harrison jones are going to be the most important cards because there's a lot of weapons which have 3 durability and no reason to attack. You can't just ooze 3 times to destroy 1 weapon.

[@CaptainGrim]

I like the little "oh boy.." at 13:24 as Kripp realises the horror that's up next

[@konijnenmans1]

The idea behind the shaman weapon is likely that it will generate several extra overload cards for the synergistic effect with the summon 3 minion copies instead of 1 etc. It probably was too good if it wasn't that much mana.

[@ehko9989]

King Crush : meme card Gazrilla : meme card Dreadscale and Acidmaw : meme card Princess Huhuran : meme card Knuckles : meme card Swamp king Dread : meme card Professor Putricide : meme card Let's hope Kathrena will be the black sheep of the hunter legendaries.

[@mmorkinism]

Ehko Huhuran wasn't complete meme but then they released cheaper (both mana and dust cost) minion doing same thing

[@tygonmaster]

Gazrilla was actually pretty decent in its time. It sucks now, but back in the day, it was actually a half viable card.

[@Aces00]

Dreadscale saw legit play. Swamp King is good on its own too, it’s just that Hunter can’t support high cost cards.

[@ThraxI1019]

the only meme card there is dreadscale and acidmaw the rest is decent, hunter is just a trash class outside of going face

Mythril Spellstone is the tombstone for warrior.

[@midilobisim_akamechnick4969]

Princerino Taldaramerino Kripperino Hey, you are not actually garbage. I play you in my ramp taunt druid with a decent sucess.

[@tygonmaster]

Did you consider it in Dead Man's Hand Warrior? You shuffle the fully upgraded Spellstone into your deck and every turn you shuffle again you play 3 5-5s. That is basically Jade Idol, but not quite as retarded.

[@hermeticascetic]

tygonmaster I doubt it will see play. There's only 1 weapon worth playing in warrior, so you'd be removing 2 good cards on order to make one card work. And unless they add some more armor gain comparable to what justicar gave, I don't see this being played.

[@BrettKerr]

Yeah I was gonna say the same. Dead man's hand deck im usually stuck with a bunch of sleep with the fishes i cant use so this spellstone would be far superior.

[@andrewmeece3194]

You only need to equip two weapons to make it work. Bloodrazor is already somewhat common in competitive decks, at least when some brave soul actually decides to play a warrior deck in the first place. slap two of those in with dead man's hand and you might actually have a deck. Probably not tier 1, but tier 2 or 3 is where I could realistically see it if burn mage isn't killing everybody by turn 8.

[@sentineloperator3333]

10:35 feral gibberer could be useful for ziplock I guess? Helps keep the stream of minions flowing? Honestly don’t understand what they were thinking making that card

[@BernardoBlue]

I refreshed KZbin and was like "Damn, wish I had a new Kripp video to watch." FeelsGoodMan

[@nolanrudolph5463]

'That belongs in the Hall of Explorers!'

[@justingray8161]

I think feral gibberer has some potential in discard lock to provide some fodder to discard

[@Lmmolsen]

@12:20 why not compare to getaway kodo?? Seems more powerful than that and both are secrets.

[@ibainesy]

With upgrade cards. do they need to be in ones hand to be able to be upgraded? or does it work like C'Thun, where he gets stronger even when he's in the deck?

[@yurncj]

whats the card name he said at 13:08? All can die circle?

[@bdot223]

I recently made a zoolock deck, and I was wondering if it’ll still be good once KC releases, do you guys think it will?

[@n3mo_]

This is the review I care more about!!

[@mindscapejem]

You say horrible weapons, but I see Molten Blade value! :V

[@-Kidzin]

B-b-but Runespear is Cairne's weapon, how can it be bad.

[@cacaculoorinepichy]

i always look forward to this kind of kripps videos

[@hellbach8879]

4:04 then why does Fight Promoter trigger off herself if you buff her?

[@tygonmaster]

Kripp, you can shuffle the fully upgraded Lesser Mithril Spellstone into your deck in Dead Man's Hand Warrior and in the late game have the ability to play 3 5-5s a turn.

[@loganparry2676]

Wait have they said how Fandral will work with the choose two effects? Cause if he gets all 3 of the buffs he’s going to be insane

[@shadowrslayer]

at 10:24 I really thought it was gonna give a copy of the hero in your hand, not a copy of the card

[@aboxofcheese4788]

Burgly bully?

[@twainarmandi2992]

Is gadgetzan rotating out? Because I would find the cube with Aya Blackpaw is decent.

[@sugibudder]

oh no, Kripp malfunctioned there for a second, its Winterwisp, not Wintergrasp. he needs to patch it asap.

[@frozen_spider]

Also, un-IDENTIFIED elixir, not un-DEFINED. I think we might actually have to make hot-redeploy of Kripp on prod directly, and analyze the logs later. Just don't forget to backup the old build.

[@sugibudder]

didnt catch that one myself, who is responsible for keeping Kripp's programming up to date and bug free? Starting to think its someone from blizz, that would explain the bugs.

[@Cthalpa]

>"G"ibberer

[@tygonmaster]

Kripp has time. According to Blizzard, it is okay to wait 3 months before fixing your massive obvious fuck-ups.

[@snj1016]

How does Jasper Spellstone work with Branching Paths? If you armor twice does that fulfill both of the spellstone's requirements?

[@brizwaldjonson]

yes

[@Ex0rz]

Rin might be decent when used with bloodbloom. You can cast two seals in one turn. If you have two bloodblooms you can finish the seals in 3 turns. Turn 8 rin + bloodbloom, turn 9 bloodbloom + 2 seals, turn 10 last 2 seals. The only problem is that you are most likely dead if you do that, and you need both bloodblooms and Rin. Highroll... But in a very lategame oriented matchup / meta, that cards super good.

[@TyranusRex721]

I think Kripp is underestimating the new Hunter legendary. Hunters have a decent amount of deathrattle synergy out there and there are some decent big beasts too. It could be pretty good.

[@wolfernater]

I was also thinking that the shaman weapon could cost 6 and still probably not be good enough to actually play. The best cards for it to pull are like feral spirits or a board clear when your behind, and the stupidest thing about that is that you still get overloaded for those spells. It would be better in probably any class but paladin who you'd just wind up getting a choice of 3 crappy secrets on each swing.

[@lovelywind349]

Would Jasper spell stone with branching paths combo ?

[@marcosm4946]

So choosing in "branching paths" to gain 6 armor twice does upgrade the druid spell twice?

[@ahmadbarakat3563]

Marcos Molina yeah since the first time you choose 6 the card upgrades

[@Tatsebmaki]

How would the druid, choose both, legendary work with Branching Paths?

[@Dedwagon]

If you carnivorous cube a lich king and then carnivorous cube that cube so you get two lich kings with a cube that summons two other cubes which summon at least four other lich kings? Not counting play dead or Umbra

[@drizztdoit5886]

What character is featured in your "K" logo Kripp?

[@EmeraldzTV]

I love the new "Recruit" method, seems awesome!

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

It's just the old 'summon from your deck' effect.

[@jonasb.wildemauwe7605]

What happens with Fandral and Branching Paths?

[@kokili1g]

I stopped playing hearthstone a year ago I still watch your card reviews regularly ...

[@StillWeRide]

I agree with your review of branching paths...alot or people called it garbage but it looks really good. Super flexible.

[@gothhenge]

I guess Branching Paths doesn't interact with Fandral since it's not a "Choose One"?

[@T3hTal0n]

been waiting for this video. now i'm waiting for the next one ;P good job Kripp and Rania

[@dylanhumphrey9940]

How does Branching Paths interact with Fandral if it does at all?

[@WnIyLkLvIiAsMt97]

Chris Taylor It's not a choose two it's a Choose Twice

[@ShiinoMusic]

Kobold Ilussionist, cube it while having stuff like maly on your hand. this enables Malyrogue again i think?

[@jarokier]

I think a certain museum is going to be a huge attraction for the next expansion.

[@C00Cker]

2:11 Recruit a minion that costs (4) mana or less shaman 4 mana 7/7 combo maybe???

[@pedroneves5864]

damn, your hair scared the shit out of my pants in the first second of the video, wasnt expecting it!

[@gferrol118]

Do you want to know what the warrior legendary weapon is going to be? It's a 2 mana 3/2 with no effects

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

nah.. it will be balanced.. so a 1 mana 3/3 with "hero is immune while atatcking, doesnt lose durability"

[@EmeraldzTV]

Ha

[@gferrol118]

Bobthemime I was just making a reference to the war axe nerf :P

[@danielcooke1537]

fandral with the path card?

[@Krunschy]

Ok, so I did some math on the Runespear and it turns out that the odds of getting a spell in your discovery that's always positive, such as a boardclear, is about 75% with the currenty existing spells. So I would say it's less bad than it seems in that regard, but given how just because an effect is positive, that doesn't make it helpful or good, it probably is really bad. What I mean is that I counted stuff like devolve and evolve as well as vulcano as positive effects, however these might just show up as the better option, when you don't want to e- or devolve.

[@colossaldonut5190]

Sudden Betrayal makes the minion attack one of your opponent's minions I think, not one of your minions, seems like a more consistent version of Misdirect.

[@HektischerHecht]

Actually Aluneth is a pretty balanced card. 3 cards for the mage and 3 cards for Harrison Jones.

[@Krauss75]

Card idea to protect against weapon removal: 2 mana 2/2 epic if your weapon would be degraded or destroyed by an opponent's card effect while this is in your hand, discard this card instead. (could be worded better probably)

[@TheBl0rp]

Can't wait to see that 2-mana 3/2 Legendary warrior weapon, the Fieriest War Axe.

[@Blenji_]

16:10 kripp says wintergrasp. He misses wow I just know it

[@andongji5253]

Woah let's get back to Feral Gibberer. If it gets played on turn 6 and the opponent doesn't remove it and next turn I Bonemare it and attack, will that give me a 1 mana 5/5 taunt? Because that makes it a must-remove in some decks.

[@HearMeLearn]

Andong Ji no nigga, it gives you the card, which is a 1/1

[@gferrol118]

Duskbreaker is basically a better chillmaw since you get to decide when the effect activates instead of your opponent

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Depends. It has no taunt and shit stats. If you're vs a board that the AoE wouldn't kill but you were dead if they went face, Duskbreaker wouldn't do crap.

[@gferrol118]

HighLanderPony yeah, but in most situations the 3 mana discount, ability to control when it goes off, and being able to have 2 in your deck, are way more useful in the majority of situations. As well as if you play wild, it's way easier to combo it with brann than it is to use chillmaw with the double deathrattle card

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

gferrol118 Ok, you're right, whatever.

[@Corlwow]

Blizz has blessed me with a card for Quest Hunter (and buff paladin and keleseth rogue but not as cool) with Feral Gibberer, I still believe!

[@Galax94cz]

Correct me if I'm wrong but... If you have opponent has only one minion than sudden betrayal does literally nothing for you... Right?

[@talhadeliporsuk5301]

Galax94cz ye, it wont Trigger

[@mustacobra]

yes

[@TripTrap1]

Control / Mid-Range Hunter is definitely a thing... Has been for 2 expansions.

[@WnIyLkLvIiAsMt97]

TripTrap Yup, but these people are evaluating things in the "current meta", that is to say GvG. Nax out yet?!! SMOrc Kappa

[@masterofreality6201]

Somewhere, Spirtisinger Umbra is crying bitterly because Kripp didn't even remember her name.

[@lavadrake]

Wonder how fandral and branching path works

[@612shep]

blizzard confirmed they don't interact at all, since it's a "choose two" effect, instead of a "choose one".

[@ohlookitisacat7404]

Priest is desperate for board clear? What about dragon fire potion, shadow word+pint size potion, what about Anduint heroes card?

[@rykehuss3435]

Still not enough. Dragon fire 6 mana, shadow word horror + pint 5 mana, anduin 8 mana. This card is 4 mana, a crucial time after youve probably lost the early game to the brainless aggro.

[@Pit1993x]

If you go second you can even coin that dragon on turn 3. Stuff like that is crucial to survive aggro shit.

[@charterhold1469]

Rykehuss Then you can win the game with brainless hero power spamming!!!!

[@MajkaSrajka]

TFW People call priest board clear slow, when they are the class with historically one of the most unfair board clear class with alchanai+circle. (The only more imba board clear IIRC is wild pyro equality)

[@philip0544]

Sure, for about a month. then Raza and Kazakus get rotated out in the upcoming year change.

[@gferrol118]

"Shadowstep doesn't offer any value" *looks at turn 1 triple prince because of shadowstep*

[@EmeraldzTV]

That's so broken

[@OmarGonzalez-tg9uv]

Well, even then shadowstep still doesn't offer any value, it's the prince that does it. Obviously he didn't mean shadowstep is a bad card lol.

[@Chrispoirier]

but without a good target its useless

[@midnightinferno]

6:13 Kathrena WinterCRASP?

[@jonasb.wildemauwe7605]

You were thinking about Spiritsinger Umbra

[@negativezer0556]

7:30 undefined elixir OMEGALUL (unidentified*)

[@5oulPower]

I've been putting him off for a while now but it might be time to finally craft Harrison Jones. Also, as a Wild player I'm expecting every Recruit Paladin deck to run 1-2 Level Ups in place of Stand Against Darknesses next expansion.

[@janmam6927]

10:35 - pause at this moment. enjoy.

[@GaiaDblade]

Runespear is basically a three-charge Tortollan Primalist. It's even got the same mana cost.

[@FishSandvich]

Tor-Trollin'

[@AbyssArray]

Arguably, Tortoallan Primalist is better because you get the body (albeit a weak body) on the board

[@Dedwagon]

What if you combine branching paths with Fendrall. It will be insane

[@PersianTiger1]

I love how kripp just tells off Drygulch Jailor like it’s fucking did something wrong to him😂😂

[@samuelta7044]

Wouldn't jasper just strengthen jade druid, because they're the only deck that runs pestilece?

[@ranialaugherinokripperino1330]

Khikhikhikhikhikhi

[@HunterTSilver]

Branching paths with fandrel gives you two cards buffs board and gains 12 armor

[@DrSpasticat]

im guessing the weapon trigger takes a durability

[@WnIyLkLvIiAsMt97]

Scott you guessed wrong.

[@LegendStuff]

Branching paths gives druid another very versatile card but the options themselves don't seem that overpowered. Maybe that is just a skewed feeling after playing against ultimate infestation for so long but drawing a card and getting 1 attack/6 armor for 4 mana doesn't seem so strong at first glance

[@ViniJon3s]

Could you use Fandral with that? Would that give you 2 cards, 2 attack and 12 armor?

[@TheInsanity556]

Vinícius Barbi I think Fandrel only works with choose one cards like living roots, where as this one is choose two. They could just change Fandrel, but probably not.

[@ViniJon3s]

TheInsanity556 oh, I see, that would make the power level of the card go through the roofs, sad it doesn't work

[@thebengal9699]

It seems to me like the Epic's are actually going to be good this time around, like they should be. Then again that means that in order to get the good cards you gotta craft more expensive shit so who knows

[@TheSquareOnes]

Wait, is it actually confirmed that you can choose the same option twice for Branching Paths? Because if so that card seems totally busted. Draw two or heal 12 or roar or shield block with two additional janky options just in case your toolbox wasn't full enough, that's the kind of card that is good in almost every possible matchup.

[@mmorkinism]

Cyan Light it was shown on reveal stream that u can choose same twice.

[@TheSquareOnes]

Thanks, now I know to craft two on day one. What an insane card, almost enough to make one worry what else is coming in this set.

[@leonlx564]

no, its terrible. Draw 2 for 4 mana is terrible, giuve your mana 2 attack for 4 mana is terrible, gain 12 armor is slightly above average (Slightly better than greater healing potion. How is it OP? Versatility isn't THAT good.

[@joedirt2656]

I think it looks good, draw is nice versatility as is armor which also triggers spellstone and the +1 atk is permanent so it could make spreading plague 3/5's instead of 1/5's. idk if I'd call it op but stand behind that its a good card

[@TheSquareOnes]

Arcane Intellect costs 3, Savage Roar costs 3 (and is often played on later turns where mana will be floated anyway so might as well cost 4), Greater Healing Potion costs 4 but armor is significantly better than healing in most situations, Shield Block costs 3 and only provides 5 armor. All four of those cards are seeing play right now and you also get "+1 attack and draw or heal" as two additional options that might occasionally be relevant (say you need the buff for some value trades and then want to cycle to find more things to play or heal out of range of burn). You're barely paying anything for the flexibility, you just get a lot of great cards at basically the same cost they'd normally come at. More importantly you get great cards that do very different things. Most of the time you're drawing to find the rest of your deck but if you're behind it can become a lot of healing and if you're ahead it can become lethal. It might be underwhelming if all of the modes accomplished roughly the same thing but they're different enough for the versatility to actually be quite relevant in every situation. It's not flashy but I promise you're going to hate seeing this card in a month.

[@Erikulum]

Yeah, Feral Gibberer suck... now how do I make it works?

[@EmeraldzTV]

Quest rogue with Feral Gibberer, Shadowstep and Cheat Death.

[@DjAirsurfer]

What bothers me about the Jasper spellstone card is, shouldn't it be Emerald Spellstone? Jaspers aren't green as far as i know, or are more known for being brown-reddish

[@beenismchugerod]

Wasn’t Spiritsinger Umbra the card blizzard gave Kripp to reveal :(

[@SteelerFan716]

Beenis McHugerod Well, it is a bad legendary. It doesn't see play, except for meme decks.

[@TopPotato109]

I think that cheat death means shadowstep is hall of fame next year

[@OwGash]

I got the feeling krip completely misread sudden betrayal, its way stronger than what he said+how is this like mirror??

[@CCGW0RLD]

Dope content, keep it up and stay blessed!!!

[@MegaTunamelt]

Gibberer on turn 5 + blessing of kings return to your hand a 1 mana 5/5 maybe not as bad as he says?

[@mathwiz2472]

feral gibller might be broken if the copy has the buffs of the original

[@Oralion2]

Feral Gibberer is going to be very good. "Add a copy" should keep the buffs... Which means it doubles the value of the buffs and recharge empty hands for aggro decks like aggro druid or buff paladin that never had a chance so far...

[@Featherwick]

Samuele Surico Sadly its been confirmed the one going to your hand does not keep buffs.

[@RighteousNicky]

You said Wintergrasp instead of winterwisp xD seems someone has played wotlk

[@pennclick]

RighteousNicky yeah he’s famous for it lol

[@DokterWerner]

Undefined Elixir is one that most people are overlooking

[@hotmirrorful]

Still hoping for a good control deck for hunter.
