WTF IS THIS NEW HEARTHSTONE EXPANSION

[@roguebanshee]

Before you go nuts on the "I can put X class cards into my Y class deck", the Tourist cards only grant you access to the Perils in Paradise cards for that class. So it's not like you could build a Highlander Warrior with Rheastrasa or add Deepminer Brann to a Highlander Hunter.

[@alamand4769]

Truly a tragedy that I can't put wish upon a star in my handbuff DK, won't they think of the jank?

[@joshualevy8766]

barefoot expansion, rarran's favourite

[@roguebanshee]

Some points about the Tourists: 1) They only go one way and only one step. Meaning that you can't include Hunter cards in your Warrior deck and you can't leapfrog from Warrior to Druid to Mage. 2) The cost to use these is adding a Legendary to your deck. Not only does the Legendary take up a card slot, you also need to _have_ that Legendary to even do this. So either get lucky, spend 1600 dust or ready your credit card if you want to try all the combinations. You should very much save your dust until you know which Tourists will be worth crafting, not only due to meta concerns but also with the cards you have. 3) Tourists only grant access to the Perils in Paradise cards. You don't get additional excavate cards for your deck, you don't get additional Highlander cards from other classes, and you can't build a Warrior deck with the Hunter Hero Power (unless you stick to neutrals and PiP cards). This is especially important for Wild.

[@Cuestrupaster]

I don't think they'll be bad, nor broken, I think it'll be fine... but I can see maybe something being broken for a very specific reason they didn't think of... but's kinda hard since everything that'll be possible is mostly this expansion...

Does the Warlock tourist add runes to the deck?

[@cherryoshavot]

I think so

[@mattmanlooloo]

AFK is probably going to break paladin. Handbuff paladin is already a solid t1 deck, and afk with +3/+3 (which is going to be average if she's in the opening hand) means that she turns into a 5 mana 3/8 that essentially gives every minion you summon +2/+2 so long as they don't have rush. Combine that with the titan that only takes 2 damage at a time? Busted. Paladin also has the 4 mana 3/3 that draws 2 if it didn't attack. Getting your draw engine outside of the common "deal 3" removal range is kinda nuts. Everyone is undervaluing A F Kay. She seems really slow, but she's absolutely busted in a couple of decks.

[@dancorneanu9144]

Paladin is wants rush and quick buff to hand. As they do not have the time to keep minions online for multiple turns. Every deck has field clears. So a buff from the aura and next turn face. Reduces risks.

Rarran dodged a bullet by doing the Card Name video before this one. Otherwise A.F. Kay would have led to a concede

[@kwamedwards]

The tourist keyword doesn't look exciting for me. It doesn't really change how the game is played and since it can only be used with cards from this expansion, the future applications of the cards are limited. The keyword is essentially dual color with extra steps, just adding a few more cards to the class card pool. They could have reflavored the expansion as Allies or something and just made the class cards dual colors. Battlecry, deathrattle, and even joust are mechanics that can't be replicated with a likewise simple change in card formatting. Joust was terrible but it was more interesting to me as a mechanic than this. I still hope for some really cool cards but I'm not a huge fan of the keyword.

[@lolface2384]

warrior gettng druid cards is gonna be wild if they print anything to do with armor.

AFK being nerfed seems so strange. We obviously won't know until we play the cards but this looks like a classic example of the team needlessly under powering some cards that don't need it.

My thoughts: Customary anime fanservice beach episode.

This makes it sound like they should have been neutral cards that allowed you to pick and choose what secondary cards you want to have in your deck, and not be locked into only one class combination. Though honestly, I think I've had enough of HS, and many other things as of late. I've started uninstalling stuff lately cause it now just feels like I'm holding on for nostalgia sakes and never trying anything new. So your content is gonna be the only proper HS I'll be enjoying.
