+Feam T It's interesting to think how Varian will interact with Hellscream - for those who aren't epic enough to have Moridan, like me - given the lore. I wonder if he'll have a percentage chance to simply do seven damage to your face then piss off, all the while muttering something about "orc scum" under his breath...
OswaldOrtensia4ever While there isn't one if Malfurion *plays* Illidan, if you play Illidan *against* Malfurion Illidan's line changes to "Hello... brother." A similar thing happens with Cairne Bloodhoof. Playing him against Garrosh results in the line "Garrosh! You are not fit to rule the Horde!"
Varian Wrynn better say something to Valeera because they have a lot of history/lore together. Actually, I wish Blizzard would put more interactions in the game between cards and heroes. Hell, why not between one hero and another? Still, these are some good cards and I hope more get revealed (particularly beasts and dragons).
Remy Lebeau well played = gg noob greetings = u gonna get rekt sorry = go fuck urself oops = fucking lag! thanks = i dont need your pity charity bm-ing threaten = ftw im the only good player u hakers
Remy Lebeau Jimbob Jeffory Depending on the situation, I actually do see them like that. I except I usually get the "sorry" quotes when the opponent meant "your going to get rekt"
Trump is my favorite HS player, and his card reviews, tutorial videos, and arena runs are my favorite hearthstone videos to watch. Thank you for all your hard work :)
Just Saying... "Restore 7 Health. *Joust:* Restore 14 instead" "Restore 7 Health *Reveal a minion in each deck. If yours costs more,* Restore 14 instead"
Kyo I think their justification for not creating the "joust" keyword is that most of the joust are battlecrys, and they thought it could be confusing to have "Battlecry: Joust". I think they said something like that in the Gamescon "panel"?
Astral communion can have synergy with inspire effects. Combine this with card-draw of some kind, through death rattle or inspire, and you can get ready for the next turn with all mana crystals.
Astral communion could be used in a joust deck, where you would have a lot of expensive cards, so as long as you get it early enough you are almost guaranteed to keep drawing big cards
When I use Varian Wrynn Card 1 - "Minions, servants, soldiers of the cold dark! Obey the call of Kel'Thuzad!" Card 2 - " I have no time for games!" Card 3 - " THE END IS COMING!!!" 0____0
I don't know why people think Dreadsteed is terrible. Even though its stats suck, its very presence on the board changes the game entirely. That card, in my opinion, is exactly what Warlocks needed in order to make Demonlock a far more viable deck.
Freddie Turner its also a minion that will always survive through any number of board clears, even your own twisting nethers. and if your opponent blows a silence or transform thats still good for you
Coining out Pint doesn't let you combo your SI7 on turn 2, Cutpurse does. Plus the potential for a 2 coins from cutpurse or more in some kind of control rogue.
Trump's discussion on Ram Wrangler made me way more excited for the card. I think that'll be really fun WHY ISN'T SEA REAVER A PIRATE GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!??????
It's not a matter of whether it's good in a pirate deck. There's just literally no reason for it not to be a pirate. Adding pirate does not make the card worse nor does it make the card super strong. But it's Sea Reaver. That's synonymous with pirate...
Corsair Joshua Reaver in this sense doesn't mean the 'profession', but it's more like a wraith, or a zombie. Just a reaver in the ocean, not a human who is on the ocean and 'reaves' things (or whatever you'd say there) so it really isn't anything like a pirate.
Dude, he's got a viking-esque helmet and a braided beard. Seems to me like they took some inspiration from the viking raiders. Just because you say that Reaver CAN have another meaning doesn't mean that it is appropriate in this case
Because undead aren't allowed to be anything else? I still see no reason to add more pirates in the game. If he was a pirate nobody would complain or say he didn't belong.
I have been trying to make Sea Reaver work, it hasn't been going that well. In the end I just ended up making a Grim Patron deck that runs Darkscale Healer and rampage to make up for the random damage.
Reintaro Then we may as well just rename Master of Disguise to Master of Value. Stealthed endless coins until the opponent finds some AoE? Not OP at all.
The way I read Lance Bearer it could buff itself. Cards that say something about "a friendly minion" usually include themselves. In that case it's a 3/2 that can give 2 of its attack to something else, with the only disadvantage being it can be silenced.
if you play him with recombobulator the next turn or same turn with coin you get some good value picks such as king crush, cenarius, mal'ganis, mekgineer thermaplugg nozdormu, onyxia, ysera, or even another icehowl
11:58 How the hell does dreadsteed & Warsong combo clear patrons? Every time you hit a patron with dreadsteed, it spawns new patron. Once board is 6x 3/2 patrons and 1x 3/3 patrons, it still doesn't make any difference. You hit 3/2 -> 3/1, nothing happens. You hit 3/1 -> DEAD, it leaves one space up to grow another patron if you hit someone.
Jonah Dewing its only a board clear if you have enough time between the animations to keep pinging minions... I expect when we see it players have trouble doing more than 15 minion damage in one turn... also it is not a free board clear against patrons unless you damage them get them all to 1 health... then wipe them... which is very tedious and slow I'd imagine.
What everyone forgets about Dreadsteed is that more cards are coming, even if not in this expansion. If Hearthstone adds more Deathrattle Synergy, than suddenly a 3 Mana Dreadsteed is terrifying. So, it is probably priced at 4 Mana to future proof it.
Way to go Japan Varian is nothing even close to a Priest though. He's also good friends with Magni, which, as of now, is as much of a Warrior hero as Garrosh.
Danilo Mendonça To be fair, Vol'Jin is mostly cool with Anduin. Varian and Garrosh have a historied vendetta on eachother, I think that's what he meant.
The Dream: Turn 9: Alextraza Enemy uses Heal: he is at 17 HP. Plays random Stuff Turn 10: Play Varian, The following cards are draw: Ragnaros, Grommash, Sea Reaver. Hit face with Gromash (10 damage, since he got Sea Reave'd) Ragnaros hit face, 8 Damage.....
That Varian Wrynn card is absolutely sick. It is 10 mana, sure, but holy cow. If nothing else, it will help sell packs. It just looks so powerful and broken. The reality is probably not as good as all of the dream scenarios, but even getting 1 minion off it is already broken.
I'm curious. Would sort of a control mech deck with Warlock be too slow? Like you can use the usual mech stuff and play like Zoolock, but then you run cards like Fel Cannon which could control the board, then you play Dreadsteed, maybe Barron Rivendare, then Anima Golem to smash your opponents face on the board you've controlled and win quickly before they even have a chance to catch up
Still waiting for a card to put into my Handlock deck :3 Also, what do you guys think about a card called 'Fel Form' or 'Metamorphosis' for Warlocks? Metamorph would be something like Jarraxus and Fel would be like Shadow Form for priest, it would increaste the damage of all spells, or all the spells would now drain half the damage they've dealt.
Varian is very likely to get shreked by mind control tech in arena, actually, since it's almost guaranteed it will put you at 4 minions on the board (and still pretty likely if played on an empty board)
by the wording of the card i would believe Ram Wrangler could pull the Animal companion cards, as web spinner adds a beast card, where as Misha, Leokk and Huffer are just beast, so getting anyone one of them would make a 5 mana card be worth atleast 7 mana in stats, that kinda fits with the midrange minion value theme.
would lance bearer see play in face hunter, because face hunter minions rarely last more then one turn so the card's buff is technically the same as the abusive sargent. However is the buffed minion lasts 1 more turn, then you can deal 4 more damage instead of 2... Discuss
Finally, some good cards. I was about to give it up and spend all of my saved gold, because so far there were maybe 5 cards worth playing in constructed. But oh man, this warrior legendary.
You should do a review of your review for GvG, like you did back then for your Naxxramas review! I'd love to see what you think now that the set's been out for a while.
now that I think about it Chromaggus turn 9 and varian turn 10 is actually very good. I mean you can "unfortunately" summon alexstrasza, nefarian and let's say iron juggernaut into the battlefield and loose their battlecry but you don't, becuase you get copies of them. And now you also have big bodies on the board. Love it!
I don't think so. Mogor's affect will still be activated, allowing it to attack the wrong minion (but never the hero). Unless you're silencing it the next turn, you can't hit the enemy hero.
+Casval Deikun No, I think it can. Let's take Ogre Brute for example. If there is a taunt minion in play, Ogre Brute must attack the taunted minion. But because of its ability, 50% to attack the wrong target, it can still end up hitting face. So even though Icehowl can't target face, Mogor The Ogre gives it a chance to hit the opponent as long as there is another minion for Icehowl to target.
I still remember when you said grim patron won't see play, and then it did! And I was like "now what do I do with my life" 10/10 would be fooled again with dreadsteed Excited to see what happens :)
wait with dreadsteed could you add the 3 mana give your friendly minions with 3 or less dmg charge on turn 7 then just instantly win the game by hitting his face 30 times?
For Cutpurse do you think if the hero hits the minion with a weapon, druid hero power, etc, that it would still give the coin since it would hit the hero when it gets hit?
With the advent of Dreadsteed itd be nice to see a Phoenix card eventually. Maybe something along the lines of a 8 mana 3/4 Epic common? They could add it in during the inevitable Dark Temple adventure. I havent played WoW up to TBC yet but I know Kael used Phoenixes in Warcraft 3 as his ult so damnit he better use them in WoW. Cause phoenixes are cool.
so if the choice mechanic on the hearthstone site is gone now does that say that it'll come out on the 15th like so many people predicted in the last few days? + think about what warrior could do when they get dreadsteed out of a piloted skygolem
I think the cutpurse advantage is it gives you combo which the pint sized summoner doesnt and it can be quite te advantage when playing rogue, also note it can be saved up and potentially used to combo with auctioneer. So my point is this card got more going fot it than trump said it was.
anyone thinking face warrior with Varian wryn... charge cards like Leroy, that 4/3 warrior charge minion, grommash, arcane golem ect. I mean it could be scary right?
Hobgoblin, Dreadsteed, Baron Rivendare, Anima Golem + that one legendary 4/4 deal 4 damage if you have 4 minions. Make the ultimate zoo flood-the-board combo-wombo deck work please! Even if it's bad.
I feel like some weird dreadsteed deck is gonna gain traction in the new meta. It has that kinda Patron-ey limitless combo potential, it's just the winning combo hasn't been discovered yet.
Varian Wrynn is fantastic in Arena too, isn't it? Let's say you draw two minions on average with it (10 spells and 20 minions is typical in an Arena deck), and that the average mana cost is 3-4. That's a lot of stats for the mana.
It would be nice if the healer classes get viable healing builds (aka adding more heal cards and minions that get an effect for healing). Also Nourish will make Astral Communion quite powerful.
He forgot to list the druid beast's (because it's random, what means not class specific) and i think "Ram Wrangler" can even summon some uncollectible beast like a companion. Anyway, he's really nice in any kind of midrange hunter.
The first thing that came to mind when Ram Wrangler came up was "That's the picture used for for the Crazed Hunter that Hemet summons in the tutorial"
I like how you think.
Kieran White no, you just read it on reddit
+Nito Raki no he probably has a brain unlike le reddit community you dumbass
Benjlmao you dont remember such a thing, someone randomly saw him repeating the tutorial.
Kieran White It's beast hunting time!
Varian Wrynn: Everyone get in here
Summons A warsong commander and 2 patrons.
hopefully not in that order... cus then they wouldnt get charge
Looks like you dun goofed.
Kirk Sparks lol fixed
coolgabe555 Would be better with a Frothing Berserker instead of the second Patron because one charging Patron will usually fill the board anyway.
thebigch33s3 I know I was just making a patron joke.
If you play Varian against a Priest, his battlecry turns into "Go to your room." and your opponent is forced to concede.
Feam T blizz will put in an easter egg:
1% chance anduin suddenly plays malygos, velen and 2 mind blasts = gg... and shadow word death on varian
+Feam T It's interesting to think how Varian will interact with Hellscream - for those who aren't epic enough to have Moridan, like me - given the lore. I wonder if he'll have a percentage chance to simply do seven damage to your face then piss off, all the while muttering something about "orc scum" under his breath...
Feam T lightbomb
It's funny that Varian Wrynn will be played under Garrosh XD
Michael Villacrusis I'm really curious what he says when you play him against Anduin.
+Gasthaus Zum zockenden Wolf I still hope they add in some kind of dialogue with Sylvanus to Alleria.
***** Or Illidan to Malfurion
OswaldOrtensia4ever
There is a special Text for Illidan against Malfurion. He says "Hello Brother"
OswaldOrtensia4ever While there isn't one if Malfurion *plays* Illidan, if you play Illidan *against* Malfurion Illidan's line changes to "Hello... brother."
A similar thing happens with Cairne Bloodhoof. Playing him against Garrosh results in the line "Garrosh! You are not fit to rule the Horde!"

Fun editing at the end with the sound effect right after the pun. Also makes it sound like the music is celebrating the pun.

Turn 2 You (With 4 mana+ coin): Light Champion with CutPurse
Turn 3 Opponent: Blows up and leaves

That's new.

new class? shaman out PogChamp
jokes aside, mech shaman is actually a strong class in the correct meta. played it to legend last season, really shines vs warrior.
Lennon Beniga You have to know dark cultist in not being played for the "same" manacost.
Just Saying...
"Restore 7 Health. *Joust:* Restore 14 instead"
"Restore 7 Health *Reveal a minion in each deck. If yours costs more,* Restore 14 instead"

I think their justification for not creating the "joust" keyword is that most of the joust are battlecrys, and they thought it could be confusing to have "Battlecry: Joust".
I think they said something like that in the Gamescon "panel"?
+villanelo1987 combo takes place of battle cry. I think they should've used it as a key word.
Aaron TheC As does Choose One.
Warlord SteelShroom There are cards that trigger off of battlecrys though. I don't think choose one and combo trigger those.
Green Drab
No, they don't.
Sea Reaver: 3 Turns after you draw this card, deal 1 dmg to all YOUR minions.
The patron warrior dream.
Astral communion can have synergy with inspire effects. Combine this with card-draw of some kind, through death rattle or inspire, and you can get ready for the next turn with all mana crystals.
Cutpurse should have stealth.
If it had Stealth and one less health it'd probably be balanced.
SwampFox I think you're meant to put stealth on it, I hope that it will appear some "give stealth to all of your minions" minion
Astral communion could be used in a joust deck, where you would have a lot of expensive cards, so as long as you get it early enough you are almost guaranteed to keep drawing big cards
Thank god for lights champion. I was so nervous demon fuse decks would just stomp the meta. Thanks blizzard
Demonfuse hard counter, I'm in tears.
EDIT: the horn sound after the pun was perfect
When I use Varian Wrynn
Card 1 - "Minions, servants, soldiers of the cold dark! Obey the call of Kel'Thuzad!"
Card 2 - " I have no time for games!"
Card 3 - " THE END IS COMING!!!"

Action Jackson who the fuck runs doomsayer in warrior
Somebody who gets stuck at rank 16 every season like me.

This review took over 1 hour on the live stream. Good editing Jens.
I don't know why people think Dreadsteed is terrible. Even though its stats suck, its very presence on the board changes the game entirely. That card, in my opinion, is exactly what Warlocks needed in order to make Demonlock a far more viable deck.
Freddie Turner its also a minion that will always survive through any number of board clears, even your own twisting nethers.
and if your opponent blows a silence or transform thats still good for you
Freddie Turner Now imagine if your opponent plays shadow madness or cabal XD
Freddie Turner As a shaman player: Step 1: Laught at Dreadsteed Step 2: Earth Shock Step 3: Laugh more Step 4: Profit!
Martin Spáčil Congrats. You just wasted one of your valuable silences on a 1/1.
1 mana on a 4? Thats Value y know?
Coining out Pint doesn't let you combo your SI7 on turn 2, Cutpurse does. Plus the potential for a 2 coins from cutpurse or more in some kind of control rogue.
Icehowl into trading into Ancestral Healing. Crusher Shaman reborn! :D
14:08, it's the beast hunter card from the tutorial battle against hemet. Lol.
Trump's discussion on Ram Wrangler made me way more excited for the card. I think that'll be really fun
WHY ISN'T SEA REAVER A PIRATE GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!??????
It's not a matter of whether it's good in a pirate deck. There's just literally no reason for it not to be a pirate. Adding pirate does not make the card worse nor does it make the card super strong. But it's Sea Reaver. That's synonymous with pirate...
Corsair Joshua Reaver in this sense doesn't mean the 'profession', but it's more like a wraith, or a zombie. Just a reaver in the ocean, not a human who is on the ocean and 'reaves' things (or whatever you'd say there) so it really isn't anything like a pirate.
Dude, he's got a viking-esque helmet and a braided beard. Seems to me like they took some inspiration from the viking raiders.
Just because you say that Reaver CAN have another meaning doesn't mean that it is appropriate in this case
Corsair Joshua ...he's also a blue skeleton... And Viking Raiders are completely different from Pirates.
Because undead aren't allowed to be anything else? I still see no reason to add more pirates in the game. If he was a pirate nobody would complain or say he didn't belong.
I have been trying to make Sea Reaver work, it hasn't been going that well. In the end I just ended up making a Grim Patron deck that runs Darkscale Healer and rampage to make up for the random damage.
If that cutpurse guy added coin to your hand straigth away.. dreams.. :(
Yes, it would be great, but
Straight away is kind op
Would be fair to give a coin after your turn ends
Reintaro Each time your turn ends
Reintaro Then we may as well just rename Master of Disguise to Master of Value. Stealthed endless coins until the opponent finds some AoE? Not OP at all.
+Ewan Walker stealth breaks when he attacks
+Hagot428 yeah, but if he gave a coin at the end of your turn, why ever attack with him?
The way I read Lance Bearer it could buff itself. Cards that say something about "a friendly minion" usually include themselves. In that case it's a 3/2 that can give 2 of its attack to something else, with the only disadvantage being it can be silenced.
Trove lump!
Ofordgabings Good job mate. Good job.
if you play him with recombobulator the next turn or same turn with coin you get some good value picks such as king crush, cenarius, mal'ganis, mekgineer thermaplugg nozdormu, onyxia, ysera, or even another icehowl

oh wait he said that... woops
Jonah Dewing its only a board clear if you have enough time between the animations to keep pinging minions... I expect when we see it players have trouble doing more than 15 minion damage in one turn... also it is not a free board clear against patrons unless you damage them get them all to 1 health... then wipe them... which is very tedious and slow I'd imagine.
Jonah Dewing add in undertaker, armorsmith, or frothing berserker for that extra damage or armor :)
Can't Ram Wrangler summon stuff like druid of the claw cat/bear form because he doesn't give you a card, but instead straight up summons it?
Have to say, Priest got some really underwhelming cards this expansion.
SnoWidget As always.
SnoWidget There's only 3 that have been revealed -_- Maybe wait until some more are known before making these kind of statements.
silvsilvsilv Oh, for some reason I thought they had all been revealed. My bad.
Flash heal is pretty good...
silvsilvsilv Ah, I thought Trump meant these were all the cards when he said the voting concluded.
What everyone forgets about Dreadsteed is that more cards are coming, even if not in this expansion. If Hearthstone adds more Deathrattle Synergy, than suddenly a 3 Mana Dreadsteed is terrifying. So, it is probably priced at 4 Mana to future proof it.
Papa Wrynn comes as a warrior card, no love for wow lore
Way to go Japan I don't know much about lore, so what class would you have placed him in?
Teyen Well, he is Anduin's father (the priest) so I figured they will be together like Garrosh and Grommash, also parent and child
The warchief is a priest Card, and varian a warrior
Way to go Japan Varian is nothing even close to a Priest though. He's also good friends with Magni, which, as of now, is as much of a Warrior hero as Garrosh.
Danilo Mendonça To be fair, Vol'Jin is mostly cool with Anduin. Varian and Garrosh have a historied vendetta on eachother, I think that's what he meant.

works mogor the ogre with icehowl??? 22:25

With ice howl couldn't your play the orger legendary (all cards hit random) and get the face anyways possibly?
Still waiting for a card to put into my Handlock deck :3
Also, what do you guys think about a card called 'Fel Form' or 'Metamorphosis' for Warlocks? Metamorph would be something like Jarraxus and Fel would be like Shadow Form for priest, it would increaste the damage of all spells, or all the spells would now drain half the damage they've dealt.
Anyone know why light's champion is using sulfuras?
8:10
the dream:
- turn 1: zombie
- turn 2: hero power / ???
- turn 3: acolyte of pain
- turn 4: astral communion, acolyte of pain's attack, nourish, innervate, AoW/AoL
Varian is very likely to get shreked by mind control tech in arena, actually, since it's almost guaranteed it will put you at 4 minions on the board (and still pretty likely if played on an empty board)
by the wording of the card i would believe Ram Wrangler could pull the Animal companion cards, as web spinner adds a beast card, where as Misha, Leokk and Huffer are just beast, so getting anyone one of them would make a 5 mana card be worth atleast 7 mana in stats, that kinda fits with the midrange minion value theme.
would the icehowl be op if it was backwards?
Only can attack the enemy hero
How Dreadsteed clear the patron board? it only has 1 attack?
6:36 why would anyone still run Healing touch?!
would lance bearer see play in face hunter, because face hunter minions rarely last more then one turn so the card's buff is technically the same as the abusive sargent. However is the buffed minion lasts 1 more turn, then you can deal 4 more damage instead of 2... Discuss
I do like that Cutpurse has the potential to promote consistent Combo synergy.
Finally, some good cards. I was about to give it up and spend all of my saved gold, because so far there were maybe 5 cards worth playing in constructed. But oh man, this warrior legendary.
I wonder if Varian Wrynn says something special when played agaist his son Anduin Wrynn
You should do a review of your review for GvG, like you did back then for your Naxxramas review! I'd love to see what you think now that the set's been out for a while.
Has the priest legendary been revealed?
What happens with Icehowl on an empty board vs misdirection?
What happens if you have 6 Minions on the Board and you play Varian Wrynn.
Do the Minions get destroyed or do they get into your Hand?
What about Dreadsteed in a hobgoblin deck? Along with Baron Rivendare
now that I think about it Chromaggus turn 9 and varian turn 10 is actually very good. I mean you can "unfortunately" summon alexstrasza, nefarian and let's say iron juggernaut into the battlefield and loose their battlecry but you don't, becuase you get copies of them. And now you also have big bodies on the board. Love it!
Could Icehowl hit face if paired with Mogor the Ogre?
I don't think so. Mogor's affect will still be activated, allowing it to attack the wrong minion (but never the hero). Unless you're silencing it the next turn, you can't hit the enemy hero.
+Casval Deikun No, I think it can. Let's take Ogre Brute for example. If there is a taunt minion in play, Ogre Brute must attack the taunted minion. But because of its ability, 50% to attack the wrong target, it can still end up hitting face. So even though Icehowl can't target face, Mogor The Ogre gives it a chance to hit the opponent as long as there is another minion for Icehowl to target.
+Casval Deikun mogor's effect overwrites ice howl, so icehowl could attack face
Tom McGraw yep, Trump said so
Astral Communion will be fun in my 20 Legendary Alarm-o-Bot deck. I'd have to cut Wrath and Claw though, to prevent whiffing.
Does the ram wrangler summon tokens like the ones from animal companion
I still remember when you said grim patron won't see play, and then it did! And I was like "now what do I do with my life"
10/10 would be fooled again with dreadsteed
Excited to see what happens :)
Varian: ANDUIN, I AM YOUR FATHER!
Anduin: Nooooooo!
wait with dreadsteed could you add the 3 mana give your friendly minions with 3 or less dmg charge on turn 7 then just instantly win the game by hitting his face 30 times?
So could ram wrangler summon like misha or leeok
healing wave is absolutely insane, this card itself could actually start to change the rush deck meta
Oh man the Varian interactions with Anduin gonna be auto concede!
i really want to make a deck around dread stead
For Cutpurse do you think if the hero hits the minion with a weapon, druid hero power, etc, that it would still give the coin since it would hit the hero when it gets hit?
13:45 I totally see Amaz playing Warlock vs Mage playing Dreadsteed, then Neffarian into Unstable Portal into Warsong Commander ... xD
With the advent of Dreadsteed itd be nice to see a Phoenix card eventually. Maybe something along the lines of a 8 mana 3/4 Epic common? They could add it in during the inevitable Dark Temple adventure. I havent played WoW up to TBC yet but I know Kael used Phoenixes in Warcraft 3 as his ult so damnit he better use them in WoW.
Cause phoenixes are cool.
I meant Epic Nuetral. Epic Common makes no sense lol
so if the choice mechanic on the hearthstone site is gone now does that say that it'll come out on the 15th like so many people predicted in the last few days? + think about what warrior could do when they get dreadsteed out of a piloted skygolem
Does coliseum manager work In an astral communion deck?
That last pun broke me.
OMG Jens put the name of a song they used in the description! I WISH OTHER RUclips EDITORS DID THIS!
Wow that pun tho. The ending music should have been replaced with: YYYYEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
I think the cutpurse advantage is it gives you combo which the pint sized summoner doesnt and it can be quite te advantage when playing rogue, also note it can be saved up and potentially used to combo with auctioneer. So my point is this card got more going fot it than trump said it was.
anyone thinking face warrior with Varian wryn... charge cards like Leroy, that 4/3 warrior charge minion, grommash, arcane golem ect. I mean it could be scary right?
How do you clear patrons with a 1/1 repeating charge? They'll get a new one each attack
Mathio95 Fill their board, lower them all to 1 hp, then pick them off
Would astral communion be playable in fatigue Druid
Hobgoblin, Dreadsteed, Baron Rivendare, Anima Golem + that one legendary 4/4 deal 4 damage if you have 4 minions. Make the ultimate zoo flood-the-board combo-wombo deck work please! Even if it's bad.
I remember when they announced Cutpurse and i think it was called 'Burglar' or something. The rename makes far more sense.
I feel like some weird dreadsteed deck is gonna gain traction in the new meta. It has that kinda Patron-ey limitless combo potential, it's just the winning combo hasn't been discovered yet.
Varian Wrynn is fantastic in Arena too, isn't it? Let's say you draw two minions on average with it (10 spells and 20 minions is typical in an Arena deck), and that the average mana cost is 3-4. That's a lot of stats for the mana.
Great video Trump, keep up with the good work :)
How would joust work with a molten giant? Would it be 20 or the discounted amount?
It would be nice if the healer classes get viable healing builds (aka adding more heal cards and minions that get an effect for healing). Also Nourish will make Astral Communion quite powerful.
He forgot to list the druid beast's (because it's random, what means not class specific) and i think "Ram Wrangler" can even summon some uncollectible beast like a companion. Anyway, he's really nice in any kind of midrange hunter.
Would sea reaver make a engage warrior possible?
Fibonacci is drooling at Varian.
Love the video. Keep up the great work!
