*NEW* Beast/Quilboar Reveal! | Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 9

[@keiranparry2074]

Btw crater miner is 1 COST spell, not tier 1. So could be stronger with investment and the gem bhffer in the next tier, instead of coin. Maybe weaker early but stronger on tier 3 or higher

[@toby2576]

I wanted to say the same thing about how you can’t actually get Lasso off of it

[@nessZ]

came here to say this

[@СМаК-п4в]

+1

[@AndrewSinclairPlus]

The big increase in "choose one" cards makes it seem like Blizzard wants to tamp down on Brann-powered APM builds.

[@Grooviebones]

multiplicative battlecries/deathrattles did fundamentally reshape the game. I struggle to call it "auto-chess" anymore with how much active gameplay those builds have.

[@Meca-Mat]

Actually, Forest Rover (the Battlecry Beetle) works with Rylak. Finally a reason to play Rylak in Beasts!

[@beachfl6305]

I'm getting felemental/rylak vibes level of broken in this combo. If you manage to get a rylak, rover, bran/titus early it is a comp that plays itself.

[@motivationenjoyer9830]

1:50 it's one cost, not tier 1

[@xianritchie]

I definitely feel like Niuzao was added as less of a "Beast comp" beast, and more a "menagerie beast". I like that blizz is supporting menagerie builds.

[@MsMassacre-j9y]

Same with that new mech that adds tavern spells to your hand! The huge issue with current menagerie builds; there’s not very many good solo minions for most of the tribes.

[@LostinGacha]

I feel like a divine shield breaker in the Beetle spell is needed as they are added selfless back into the pool . Something needs to soft counter that

[@Mercer0516]

You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, but are y'all ready for Hog on a Hog?!

[@Curra1199]

I like the quill change cause it makes them more self reliant instead of needing murloks or beasts to be good

[@mehmet-erol]

They introduce a lot of choose one cards. I hope they'll fix the bug that force you to play them 3rd time

[@MrArbaras]

Wait, does a gold Crystal Infuser actually give 8 blood gems on deathrattle? That's pretty nuts.

[@ashishkhatri2771]

They're gonna have to nerf that

[@newtonthenewt1400]

@@ashishkhatri2771 With no more Aggem or Hot-Air Surveyor in the game, I don't think it would end up being THAT broken, to be honest. Plus, you don't have any more combos to buff up gem health multiple times per turn anymore, like you could with Jazzer + Rylak or Young Murk-eye. We will see how it turns out, though.

[@nogai2296]

It says 4?

[@newtonthenewt1400]

@@nogai2296 You play one, choose the 2-gem deathrattle. Play another one, choose the 2-gem deathrattle. When you triple it, it combines those two deathrattles and has a 4-gem deathrattle on it. Then you play it, and select the 4-gem deathrattle to add to it, giving 8 total bloodgems.

[@MrArbaras]

@@newtonthenewt1400 I'm not saying I think 8 bloodgems a turn is going to be dramatically powerful. More so that it's a relatively low investment to get those 8 gems should you find the triple. I can't think of any other source of gems that gets you 8 per turn in hand off a single triple.

[@alexandercreef6161]

Could it be? A Beast playstyle I won't instantly hate to play again?

[@JWDarklink]

Hey Shady I don't know if you read these but I came across an accidental build with pirates (flagbearers) and Octosari. They just kept buffing it andit became insane. Maybe fun for a vid, great content as always cya.

[@marcoinsane149]

i didn't really get how to buff your gems w/o jazzers or pipers

[@florianranaivoson7506]

with the gym one, you choose +1 health or +1 atk, and you can combine with the one that combines the chose one. But yeah, no more Murkeye + Jazzer combo

[@ralfvidakovics9114]

I feel like with all these choose one cards i might need somewhat longer shop phases 😅😅

[@alexzephyris1455]

Rylak and the battlecry beetle could also scale decently, with either brann or titus, reborning a rylak is good for any battlecry comp so with dragons and other tribes that want battlecries, it could work as a mid-game engine

[@beachfl6305]

I think this is more broken than most realize. One of the biggest downsides of playing rylak has always been it effectively uses 3 of your 7 minion slots to get value. This was extremely difficult to perform due to the fact that by the time you are getting value you are dead. With rover's ability to buff and summon (that is affected by that buff) you don't get punished as hard to get full value. This is even more compounded by the ability to drop this combo late game and still be able to buff with the new avenge four T5 beast. I really do see the new beetle mechanic being a major issue

[@Kumoiwa]

​​@@beachfl6305Yup, I think Beetle beasts are going to be high tempo but hard cap endgame, kinda like Sky Pirates or Attack Aura Undead, that you will dominate the mid game and kill everyone before they get really strong.

[@renenone7858]

I really like, that the golden beetles summon double the amount compared to the normal and not just double the stats

[@21centdregs]

im excited to try the beetle comp. ive always been an evil leaper fan so i dig a new deathrattle beast style

[@practiceofmagic]

Beasts are overpowered-expect nerfs to the beetles about a week after release

[@derpasuarusrexilous9999]

wonder if crystal infuser's deathrattle stacks when you triple it

[@Quxer0721]

Interesting changes. Additionally at the end I don't know, if you were aware, but Boon of Beatles should work with new beasts. This will be so much better than currently 10/10 + goldrin. With Macaw those deathrattle buffs will rock.

[@Justshrimpsfine]

Will the beetle spell activate just once if there is only one board space or just summon one at a time twice?

[@Justshrimpsfine]

My only concern is the golden copy of each beetle card doubles the summons.

[@ariellhenry]

Buffoon as a 2 drop... very much needed. Indeed Shady. That's good stuff right there. My favorite tribe looking very interesting this upcoming season.

[@DanteKrystal]

Oh boy I can't wait for all these Choose one cards to be bugged just like the ones already in :)

[@danielmohave8280]

Did we get undead & pirates reveal too or it didn't happen yet ?

[@EnyartTheology]

5:42 is a reference to Clash of Clans Hog rider lol

[@sweptay]

I wonder if thorned trailblaser works with cariels hero power, the wording of it makes me a bit doubtful since it says card and says get both options but i think she has 3 after upgrading the tavern(havent played her in a long time so i cant remember well tbh). its not really much of a power boost since its a tier 4 so you would only really get all the upgrades 3 times at most if you triple into it at tier 3 but it would make her slightly less awful of a hero.

[@chunky539]

So Quillboar are kill? What ways are there to buff the gems aside from the Foodie?

[@beeflumps]

Crystal infuser (death rattle gain 2 gems) looks overpowered if the death rattles stack. Imagine tripling it and getting 8 gems a turm

[@markos50100]

It's fine as your hand is still limited to 10 and you can't double it with tidus.

[@BassNinja]

I did a thing for the first time ever make minions in the tavern have 100+/100+ for a demon run was nuts

[@wmxk542]

quilboar apm about to go crazy

[@boomer7615]

I don’t know if it’s valid but the forest reaver card looks a lot like the scuttle crab in league of legends, that’s fun😂

[@Grooviebones]

Feels like menagerie got soft removed in exchange for all the updated tribes to be a lot more splashable/not unique to buffing their own tribe.

[@marianodsl]

How do you buff your blood gems now? Only foodie? Feels weird...

[@cheesewhiz8008]

the spell, give blood gems +1 atk, or +1 health, with minons that generate the spell

[@Noobstirz]

I love the new beetle mechanic

[@volternoomi]

So you can make a Crystal Infuser "Deathrattle: Gain 8 Bloodgems" if you triple it?

[@ShinBushuShien]

Many Choose One cards => Gonna take a lot time to choose from choices => We may be racing with the clock a lot.

[@Christopher-e5u]

new beasts seem promising

[@terry9819]

Mount into all 3 beetle cards is going to happen at some point.

[@realcheats720]

I feel like beetle beasts have an undead feel more than beasts. Hope it’s fun?

[@frankiezzzzz]

whats up with the choose 1 card

[@FiveAndAHalfCow]

Foodee on 3 seems cray

[@nicklastornkvist4670]

I tkink you miss read the text on the crater miner ist not a tier one but a one Cost apell

[@dangerpuff]

Salty Hog is going to get nerfed into the abyss. Adding cards into your hand is going to be so easy with how many cards these cards seem to be generating, especially with a Brann.

[@brandonbordelon143]

It's capped with only 3 buffs a turn

[@nogai2296]

Especially with gem rat

[@ziodyne7774]

⁠@@brandonbordelon143it’s not the cap, it’s showing how many cards you need to play. Don’t think he’s that powerful tho, amalgam is kinda the same

[@brandonbordelon143]

@@ziodyne7774 oh I see. Then I thing he will be pretty good. Pretty easy to get 9 cards added at the end of your turn and with blood gems I could easily see you buffing the board 10/10 in a turn. Still prolly not op.

[@nogai2296]

Is would like to point out that gem rat is literally a better version of pokey

[@TrickzTime]

hear me out Young murk-eye Brann Rivendare Forest Rover Buffs beetles like crazy, taunt, reborn beetle and it summons a ton

[@TyranusRex721]

I liked self damage beasts. Not sure how I feel about these beetles.

[@Cotne12]

Oh no we are doomed no more quilboar cheese

[@Oatmealistop]

I’m super excited quilboar is my favorite tribe and now I can play them guilt free

[@willowskeith4267]

What are you talking about? They made them cheesier. My end of turn drakari now lets charlie buff my board while filling my hand with gem buff spells...

[@ashishkhatri2771]

They still have crazy good multipliers from what we've seen so far. End of turn scaling will be crazy good.

[@CubanBeastt]

Imagine Leepers with bettles. Make it happen Blizzard

[@KillerPad]

how they dont create new card 'Fandral Staghelm' as tier5 neutral card 😂

[@Andy-supreme]

All these choose one cards are definitely a nerf to Brann

[@pinky797]

ha, and hit u with choose one bug that make u place single card 3 times and still come back to your hand. Late game cycling would be sooo much fun! thanks blizzard!

[@electricVGC]

Choose One is such an annoying effect to cycle LOL

[@GoatJuan]

Salty Hog + naala

[@Jaden7Yugi]

instead of choose one in the future we might get, mid game end game effects.. a minion with an effect depending of the turn counter.

[@syrinfelt8331]

Not happy with these new quilboar

[@kujojotarostandoceanman2641]

Mic is dying, too much electric distortion

[@dragonglass5650]

HOOOGRIDER

[@alessandrobasciu9853]

Is it my opinion or both tribes are waaaay worse?

[@VoidGui]

the game is bugging at chose one cards and what did blizz do? add 10 more chose one cards

[@kweskab]

Did you not see the (3Left) on Salty Hog? Gives max +3/+3 to the board.... Not a good scaler I whould say xD

[@ihaar]

It says 3 cards left (to add to your hand) till it buffs the board bruh

[@Ananana-si3vz]

Garbage, garbagee, garbageee...

[@troyallanvo]

Salty Hog would be far more exciting if it didn't have the stipulation of 3 per turn. A 6 drop that gives, if you can add 9 cards to your hand, +18/+18 to your board feels very weak. Guess we'll see though.

[@jecd5778]

its just the counter, not a stipulation

[@SuperWoofyMahn]

I don't think it has a limit of how many times it can proc each turn. It has the same tect as "Fleet Admiral Tethys", which says "9 left" on the card, but as we all know tethys can proc as many times as you can trigger it in a turn.

[@Nope0823]

There's no limitation

[@tradermann]

Why couldn’t Hydra be in the game? What made it so strong?
