Can't wait for after this expansion is released, and we see everyone saying, "Blizzard really needs to nerf Jazz shaman" or "I think pop priest feels a little weak"
My fear ever since the beginning was that runes were gonna ironically limit deckbuilding. Since each card can only go with a limited number of other cards the decks are gonna have very little variation and practically build themselves once you choose the runes
Hipster has an interesting side effect of telling you which 3 cards are not in opponent's deck. It could reveal a key card for certain decks, therefore telling you this is not the deck you are facing. In arena it might suggest something like a removal card, which you now know is not in the deck (it could still be generated at some point though). Unless it only looks at cards currently in the deck, and not cards in hand? Then the information is not quite as complete.
The flair text on etc is pretty awesome: "This next band features the one and only M.C. Tech on the drums, the fungal king of the keyboard Loatheb, and the showstopping vocal chops of Spellbreaker!"
Someone at Blizz nailed the Death Metal aesthetic for DK. Set theme is actually really sick, hope the cards/meta are up to the style! Edit: if disco paladin isn't called Pa-Pa-Paladin I'll be sad. The Boney M vibes on that legendary spell lol
An important note about Hipster. It says "isn't in their deck" not "didn't start in their deck". So if your opponent drew their good spells you can still get them. Making Hipster better as late game value.
I like that concept! Just4fun let's think about some subgenres for the deck archetypes. mech mage - industrial/hard techno freeze mage - ambient/chillout elemental mage - progressive/melodic house deathrattle rogue - down south rap evolve shaman - electro swing murloc shaman - avantgarde jazz ...
Thief rogue is sample-based hip hop. Freeze mage is chillwave. Pirate warrior is punk rock. Silence priest is instrumental pop. Horsemen warlock is classical quartet.
I mean I knew it was bound to happen eventually but god damn O_o Also it not being discoverable is... Questionable. We're going to need some insane 1rune 1+1 rune or 1+1+1 rune requirement cards to justify it as it is.
But if it is after turn 5, you'll need the perfect mana curve to pull off the effect. If you cant spend all your mana with just 5mana remaining, this effect doesn't work. If you have 6 mana left with no 1mana card, you wouldn't get the effect.
@@colintimothy7016 Still probably pretty good, you can always play it on turn 7 and from turn 8 onwards you’ll likely have the cards to fill the gap. Turn 6 is probably the only awkward turn (except dh)
Remember when Azure Drake got Hall of Famed? Double battlecry Azure Drake with the ability to choose the two cards via Discover. How the power of cards ticks upward over time.
@@07jonesj that’s not really accurate at all. ‘Drake gave you draw of cards you specifically put in your deck, as well as an immediate threat with spell damage. Ghost Writer is giving you completely random cards, which you can’t play until next turn at the earliest. So completely different 😂
11:25 “Deal 4 damage split among enemies - this is a really old throwback. That’s like Goblin Blastmage.” Trump are you trolling me? It’s not a reference to Blastmage, it’s a reference to Shadowboxer!! The mech 😂
8:17 So if you discovered this in Shaman, got it to full HP, and had it as the only minion on your board, anyone have any guesses as to what healing Rain would do, since(as far as I've ever been able to tell), it just has the extra heals hit face if nothing else needs it
Pretty sure it’s more plausible for the priest, a class notorious for using other class’ spells, to discover healing rain, but to add to your question, I kinda thought healing rain immediately stopped when nothing needed health. Edit: Forgot you can probably just evolve into Hedanis, which would be insane if you had healing since he would start at full hp without battlecry
@@InsightReasoning You can also discover Battlecry Minions with Shaman, and while I doubt the deck would be able to pull it off, Freeze Shaman in Wild is capable of stealing cards. Then there's also Slyvanas to steal things, and it could've been changed since I last ran a deck with it, but I always had to sit through the whole 12 ticks with the extras landing on face whenever I used it on a board missing less then 12 HP
Hipster is actually a really interesting card. If you are facing aggro, it’s seems pretty reliable for hipster to get you a good removal card in most games
Ghost Writer is already giving me angina from the future situations in Arena where Trump is gonna go into a "lul order" feedback loop where he's not sure if he should get the value of discovering two cards, or potentially play the discovered spell for better efficiency that turn, and will of course rope, causing him to not spend 2 mana on a play he thought about at the beginning of the turn if his carpal tunnel and geriatric brain rot were not impeding him in his advanced age.
Heartbreaker + Wild Pyromancer + A bunch of healing spells seems like a combo. Whether it would be just a meme or more Idk, would depend a lot on what cheap healing spells there are.
It might not be necessary. Rules as written I don’t see a requirement that he needs to be healed from a damaged state, he just needs to be healed past full, so you can just put healing on him.
Something about the power chord card that I haven't seen anyone talk about is the option to strategically play it without the "finale" to add an enemy minion to your hand. Just a thought
One thing noted by people commenting on Hipster and one Amalgam band is that Blizzard seems to be brazenly hinting at Monk coming sooner than we'd think because why would the one amalgam band have a pandaren face if pandaren isn't a tribe yet?
ETC could also be a great tutor to get a card if you use things like witchwood piper or other selective minion cards. Additionally being able to bounce it with rogue will be insane to keep generating your win condition spell
This is the coolest expansion any card game has done in years. Still not even close to being tempted to play this godforsaken game again, but good on the creative team at blizz.
Void virtuoso with blood bloom will be insane. Compared to the other card that makes your hero immune its 2 less mana. So you can mana cheat a 10 cost spell on turn 5. Thank god Warlock can at most destroy half your deck
Ghost writer reminds me of Azure Drake back in the day. Everyone played it for a decent body and card draw. This is decent stats with not one but two possible answers. Sure, your deck has cards you know you want, but this fends off fatigue.... except for mill.
Shadowboxer! My favourite gvg card! 2 mana 2/3 mech whenever this minon is healed deal 1 damage to a random enemy The robot looks the same and is in the same position, but the reference to Goblin blastmage makes more sense text wise. Very interesting that it's a rogue card with an originally priest character and mage effect, thief rogue stealing even card design lol
Man, does anyone else remember when Trump reviewed a custom Death Knight card that was 1/1/1 rune requirement and docked points because he said the devs wouldn't print such a card? I do.
I can see this mostly in Midrange and Control. That being said there is room for 4 mana 4/4 discover as shown by school teacher. Also, it bypasses start of game rules, which kinda sounds important for Shadow priest.
One amalgam band is the absolutely the most interesting card. Seeing a pandarian face on that card implies only one thing. The pandarian minion type joining hearthstone in the next year rotation, year of the turtle with return to pandaria!
Amalgams are counted for these types of effects. They always pick to "be" a minion type which is not represented by other minions, meaning each Amalgam you've played will contribute one tick to the Band. Same is true with dual-type minions.
Can't wait for after this expansion is released, and we see everyone saying, "Blizzard really needs to nerf Jazz shaman" or "I think pop priest feels a little weak"
I keep dying turn 5 to dubstep mage this is bullshit
Metal Death Knight is way overtuned!
@@DanilegoPlays So what you're saying is they're going to downtune the metal?
@@FriendShadow god i really hope the community embraces these names it would be the best
Hippie Druid makes me aggressive.
I dont even play anymore, but still watching Trumps reviews :)
Same man, I play through trump
I just do the daily and weekly quests every week quitted climbing the ladder
me2. Since maybe 4 years haha
When it comes to constructed neither does Trump
Trump doesn’t really play anymore either.
Guess he does some arena runs, but that’s not my cup of tea.
Glad to see that "three different rune DK is boring and not what is being designed for" lasted... checks notes... one expansion
My fear ever since the beginning was that runes were gonna ironically limit deckbuilding. Since each card can only go with a limited number of other cards the decks are gonna have very little variation and practically build themselves once you choose the runes

Demon Hunters being the "emo" music band is really what pulls the whole expansion together.
Haha true!
I’ve sacrificed EVERYTHING, what have YOU given!
Another F2P to legend run with this expansion would be ..... music to my ears!
Someone at Blizz nailed the Death Metal aesthetic for DK. Set theme is actually really sick, hope the cards/meta are up to the style!
Edit: if disco paladin isn't called Pa-Pa-Paladin I'll be sad. The Boney M vibes on that legendary spell lol
Pa-Pa-Paladin
Blowing bubbles for the win
@@meltdown4126 hit by a smite said "I feel divine"
I hate that song but I love this joke.
Oh yeah
A musical-themed expansion
Bring back the collab of Mia Malkova & Trump
Your musical notes should be heard by everyone
Yeah true, I’m up for some wholesome family fun with mia malkova again too

I like that concept!
Just4fun let's think about some subgenres for the deck archetypes.
mech mage - industrial/hard techno
freeze mage - ambient/chillout
elemental mage - progressive/melodic house
deathrattle rogue - down south rap
evolve shaman - electro swing
murloc shaman - avantgarde jazz
...
Thief rogue is sample-based hip hop.
Freeze mage is chillwave.
Pirate warrior is punk rock.
Silence priest is instrumental pop.
Horsemen warlock is classical quartet.
@@simcard96 These are all great. Thief Rouge being sample based just fits so well.
Mech mage is definitely future riddim dubstep
Pirate rogue is underground hip hop
Aggro Druid with the pirate package is grindcore cause it gives you 2 minute games
I love how blizzard broke their own design rule with rainbow knight not being an archetype in almost the very next expansion LMAO
I mean I knew it was bound to happen eventually but god damn O_o
Also it not being discoverable is... Questionable. We're going to need some insane 1rune 1+1 rune or 1+1+1 rune requirement cards to justify it as it is.
Citation needed
They would have known about this card back then too as they work multiple expansions ahead
I thought a card with this requirement would eventually get printed, but waaay later than the second dk expansions, to make "bad 1 rune cards" useful
The other thing you can do with ETC is put 3 odd cost cards into a Genn Greymane deck in wild.
Or extra copies of cards you like for Reno decks
Or Holy cards in Shadow Priest
or 3 flex cards for your spell DH
or a Theotar for when your win condition gets theotarred.
ETC is basically Hearthstones answer to MTG's sideboard, which is something I think has been sorely missing for the last 9 years
Looking forward to your card reveal this expansion
You're telling me the class that has a "disco" archetype, didn't get the disco music?
Ghost Writer is like the perfect arena card for turn 5 damn
But if it is after turn 5, you'll need the perfect mana curve to pull off the effect. If you cant spend all your mana with just 5mana remaining, this effect doesn't work. If you have 6 mana left with no 1mana card, you wouldn't get the effect.

“Deal 4 damage split among enemies - this is a really old throwback. That’s like Goblin Blastmage.”
Trump are you trolling me? It’s not a reference to Blastmage, it’s a reference to Shadowboxer!! The mech 😂
Need respect on the shadowboxer's name. Loved that card, great to see they have a successful music career.
It's a crime not to give Warlock the disco package
Amaz came up with a keyword for a fictional Monk class called "Focus" many years ago which is identical to "Finale"!
Ive been using etc to select a specific win condition based on gamestate and matchup. Makes my control decks more flexible
Saaame. Is a handy way of expanding the deck without worrying about being stuck with a top heavy or niche hand
Demon Hunters representing Emo is the most fitting of all the combinations 😂

I literally had to tweet this exact question to the lead dev of the expansion. He confirmed fhat Overheal DOES work on full HP targets.
@@PokerJoker811 Oh well that makes it easier.
Honestly the Trump Reviews are the only thing that I actually am excited about Hearthstone Standard since I mostly only play Battlegrounds anymore.
Warlock should’ve been disco themed! They even have an archetype called discolock smh
That was a pretty funny edit with the comment / fireside background. Well played
No punk class 😭
Also if hipsers catchphrase isn't "you've probably never herd of it" I'm gonna be so disappointed. Probably a good card in rouge tbh.
See, I’m trying to come up with a way that DK can discount either Banshee or Reno to summon the ultimate fat minion.
3:27 Had a really good laugh there 😆
Hahaha the Brass elemental has to be a reference to the Tuba Wizard meme xD
Damn! I've been playing warlock mainly since I started and i've also been studying opera for 6 years, that is a very cool coincidence!

Played him yesterday with Brann & found out it removes the card you discovered, so the second time around I only had two choices to choose from
@@mica4977 Blizzard preempting the problem. Good on them for that.
@@TrixyTrixter Yeah! Brann is moving to wild tho it could still have caused a problem there.
Power chord synchronise plus Pelagos is pretty great.
This is the coolest expansion any card game has done in years. Still not even close to being tempted to play this godforsaken game again, but good on the creative team at blizz.
How could they not go for the Disco Lock pun? I mean it's right there.
Etc band manager is insane in even cost control decks in wild. Putting 3 options in it the deck cant run normally is very good.
Climatic Necrotic Explosion feels like the new Ultimate Infestation. Thank god they seem to have learned from that.
Ultimate infestation isn’t even run in any druid decks in wild anymore. Ten mana cards should be broken.
New almagalm fits perfectly into menagerie paladin. Looks fun
It's neutral
Oh my god, beatboxer is almost the same card art as shadowboxer, I thought I recognized it lol
I dig the Boomer Kuwangers theme blasting at the start
Void virtuoso with blood bloom will be insane. Compared to the other card that makes your hero immune its 2 less mana. So you can mana cheat a 10 cost spell on turn 5. Thank god Warlock can at most destroy half your deck
I hope the song cards have an actual little thematic song when you play it along with the animation
Paladin being disco is pretty fitting
I'm just hoping Prison Trump will come back when Trump plays Rogue.
Ghost writer reminds me of Azure Drake back in the day. Everyone played it for a decent body and card draw. This is decent stats with not one but two possible answers. Sure, your deck has cards you know you want, but this fends off fatigue.... except for mill.
Discovering 2 spells is gonna be so much value for nearly any class save for aggressive decks
isn't 'Focus' the same as 'Finale' ? (Focus was the monks ability in Amaz's fan creation)
Ironically Beatboxer curves perfectly into Goblin Blastmage. It's a shame they're from different classes and different times...
Hedanis, pyromancer, circle of healing might be fun. Shame it doesn't start on 5+ health.
isnt beatboxer a refference to the old priest boxing mech?
Shadowboxer! My favourite gvg card!
2 mana 2/3 mech whenever this minon is healed deal 1 damage to a random enemy
The robot looks the same and is in the same position, but the reference to Goblin blastmage makes more sense text wise.
Very interesting that it's a rogue card with an originally priest character and mage effect, thief rogue stealing even card design lol
@@NoxShadow yeah, unfortunatly it cant beatbox like it did before (before it got patched)
Oooooh I really hope trump gets a reveal and does a musical video knowing how talented our mayor is
They essentially added 3 classes in Death Knight. It probably wasn't the best idea.
Man, does anyone else remember when Trump reviewed a custom Death Knight card that was 1/1/1 rune requirement and docked points because he said the devs wouldn't print such a card? I do.
Trump docks points for things that he claims the devs would never do and then they do it anyway all the time.
Does anyone else remember Hearthstone is owned by Blizzard and it's they who dictacte what can be printed or not? I do.
I can see this mostly in Midrange and Control. That being said there is room for 4 mana 4/4 discover as shown by school teacher. Also, it bypasses start of game rules, which kinda sounds important for Shadow priest.

I can’t wait for the odd cards being sideboarded by ETC in Even Shaman
I felt like Priest or Paladin could've easily been gospel music.
Holy cards that equip weapons will be op
Cool theme, hope it plays out well.
in the mage "Bass Drop" board wipe waiting room
Blizzard be like: How many old mechanics do you want to return? Yes
If only warlock was rock-themed I would have rocklock
Blizzard make a party/festival themed expansion without supporting Menagerie challenge: impossible
Did anyone else thing beatboxer is a throwback to the old shadowboxer?
Missed opportunity for musical themed discolock or electronic shaman 😢
"No good way to use corpses"
What about Corpse Explosion ??
Corpse explosion requires more than one blood rune, so it won't help to spend corpses for this rainbow card.
@@cruoton. Oh yeah I'm getting blind I did not see the green rune, my bad
missed opportunity with disco-priest
The thing is that pals new spell can block damage from 6 mana blood crusader lol
ETC is just a tech card that is a box for situational tech cards
Starlight Groove in Holy Wrath Pally O.o
The fact that Blizzard didn’t give disco to warlock is very disappointing. Understandable, but disappointing.
No one who likes the game want more plague expansions.
NOT QUITE MY TEMPO!
Says Jazz Shaman
They should've called the card "E.T.C, Tech Masta"
The metal death knight might actually make me spend money on this game.
This will definitely influence wild
ghost writer 100% replaces something in my death knight deck. why discover 1 spell when I can instead discover 2
oh nice i can run seance in my holy spell deck now cool
Power chord synergies with pelagos
Can over heal be triggered multiple times?
Wow took Blizzard really long to implement the "one of each rune DK" they said they didn´t want to happen.
When did BLIZZARD ever say this? Cause I can’t find a single source. Fans including trump said so, but multi-rune card was printed with naxx2
Isn't the legendary Amalgam triggered by minion types, such as dragon or beast? (rather than keywords like divine shield or windfury)
Yes, the list of keywords was to show what the possible buff outcomes are.
5:15 almost wrong for sure, vampiric blood has never intercated as a lifesteal card with similar effects.
No charge for amalgam?
I'm never coming back from Snap, but I'll never not enjoy Trump reviewing new Hearthstone cards
I dont know why but i have the memory of someone sayinf they didnt want rainbow dk to be a thing but it looks like i imaginesd ir
Alakir is quite sad with the new Brass Elemental
if you play an amalgam before amalgam does it consider the amalgam and amalgam or an all amalgam?
Amalgams are counted for these types of effects. They always pick to "be" a minion type which is not represented by other minions, meaning each Amalgam you've played will contribute one tick to the Band. Same is true with dual-type minions.
Etc band manager is such a brian kibler card
Heartbreaker Hedanis sounds like it could be degenerate. Gift of luminance and any AoE heal spells will mess people up.
So if a minion is at full health, then you heal if, does it trigger over heal?
Yes
