patch note: hidden hunter buff: Deathstalker Rexxar’s Hero Power has been updated to include Beasts from Kobolds & Catacombs and The Witchwood. Minions now only break Stealth when attacking. Damage dealt by card abilities, such as Knife Juggler’s knife throw, no longer breaks Stealth.
Kripp, after Blizzard ripping off your odd/even gimmick the least they could do is honor you with a card: Salt Elemental, 5 mana 7/4, Battlecry: Your opponent draws an answer.
But warlock has more removal and a better agro game so that's pointless prince Liam though will make you give up call to arms why summon them when you can turn them into random legendaries
One aspect people are missing from all these cheap lifesteal/rush beasts is that they make Deathstalker Rexxar much better, it gives a Frostlich Janna aspect to spell hunter, and that's pretty important because Hunter really doesn't have heal at all, so being able to trade and heal at the same time is pretty premium.
"Thank you for watching the video, there's a lot more content, a lot more content in this Thursday specifically, expansion is being released don't know exactly when but i will be streaming on twitch, links below starting at 11:00 a.m. est that's 12 hours earlier than my regular stream.

I wonder who else is gonna misunderstand that Shudderwock can't target itself with effects that target "a friendly minion", unless you duplicate him with chain gang.

You can have both zola and "put into deck". Put in deck helps with fatigue. If you play it right you gonna fill the board with buffed ones, they always play battlecries in specific order, so if you it buffs itself and then gangs itself you gonna get like 3-4-5-whateverinfinity of 10/10s. Way stronger than jades tbh, but more clunky.
Evro Wave random*, it was Made clear on stream, reason being there would be too many combos making the card way beyond op (grumble + lifedrinker + chaingang alone for infinite dmg combo). Randomness will ensure combos like these won't be consistent enough to be played seriously
All of the new beasts with lifesteal greatly increase the stabilization potential of the Death Knight. Originally, there was only bloodworm which had a high mana cost just to gain the effect. Now, the effect exists on low cost minions that could be combined with taunt minions. Just a cool benefit for having those cards in the card pool.
Something of note for quite a few of the new beasts introduced, particularly vicious scalehide: Deathstalker Rexxar is getting his discover pool updated. Cards like that are going to be INSANE beast combine cards for him.
hey kripp for shudderwock, the battle cry of chain gang is to produce a copy of itself so when you play shudderwock, you get more shudderwocks, not chain gang. This was also in the reveal and gameplay livestream the other day.
The thing with Hidden Wisdom and the "play 3 cards" trigger is that your opponent cant really play around it and stay in the game. Like what if they need to play 3 cards, they know you'll draw 2 but it doesn't matter, their turn requires them to play the cards they need to play. They cant just end their turn half-way through to deny your secret. Or they might try but if they're slowed down too many times, you'll win anyway.
25:20 Thank god we get this card. While mage won't have Ice Block, I swear I've almost never seen a netdeck secret mage have Ice Block, and since we are losing Eater of Secrets, this is Blizzard's way of letting us once again stop secret mage (and hunter in general)
I'm really looking forward to the expansion. There's going to be some cool new decks to try - especially looking forward to playing Rogue (and maybe minion mage). Need to run silence in decks now, not looking forward to Lady Priest
Sandbinder could be used in Priest for Lyra Sunshard or the Elementals that make spells cheaper for to reliably get big Lyra turns. It could also see play in Shudderwock Shaman because it can get you Grumble Worldshaker - which is an insane Battlecry if you had Saronite Chain Gang's Battlecry trigger because you get a 1 mana Shudderwock back into your hand. Do this over and over again with a Battlecry like Lifedrinker's 3 face damage + heal and you can easily kill your opponent in the turn after you play Shudderwock. I'd say that card is gonna see play, even if only in janky combo decks.
I think you're underestimating the keysmith. For basically the cost of 2 mana you get to pick a solution. If you need freezing trap or vape nation and you get it, feelsgoodman
Could see some hilariouscombo involving shudderwock grumble and lifedrinker for super damage/heal turns especially if you can get multiple shudderwocks back into your hand from the grumble. Obviously not good but sounds super fun.
you can combo that curse of weakness with the epic card the switches the attack and health of the minions so is a 6 mana AOE and you gain tempo quick sort of.
Dragon egg - "pretty good! " Shudderwock -" I thought it was crap before someone showed me a broken combo." Thats all you need to know about the level of Kripp analysis.
Very suprised Kripp doesn't think much of Arcane Keysmith. Honestly think it's one of the strongest cards in the set, been waiting for a card with a similar effect but the powerlevel of Keysmith genuinely suprised me and if it's not played in most mage decks for the next 2 years I'd be suprised.
It's very bad in my opinion for a lot of reasons. Maybe it would have been played in a combo/freeze mage to get more Ice Block but that won't be possible. So I guess you want to play this in a tempo mage or some kind of only-minion mage ? But when has tempo mage been playing secrets without having the ability to cheat them out or with synergy cards (valet and Crystal runner) ? Well never. Because paying 3-mana for a secret is bad tempo-wise and too low impact. It's only good when you have those synergies or discount effect. So a 1 mana 2/2 + 3 mana secret that is not even guaranteed to be Explosive or CS ? That's not "very bad" as I statted earlier but that defenitly doesn't make the cut in constructed.
I think this card is exactly why ice block had to be hall of famed, I am glad that we won't be seeing this used as a psuedo iceblock, but why I think this card is so strong is exactly because it's not a guaranteed explosive rune. Right now if a mage plays a secret against you in standard you can be pretty confident it's probably explosive rune, maybe counterspell, so you play around that outcome, the secret that this pulls out could be anything, secrets that aren't good enough to run in your deck for every game can be situationally amazing, you get to pick the best of three options for you and your opponent has no idea what to play around. Random secrets can be game swinging and the fact the player has some control over which secret it is and gets a 2/2 body all for 4 mana seems a really strong card in my book.
wolfernater no secret other than ice block or counter spell(which is already being played as you said) on your board clear turn is going to swing the game, also the body sucks, the tempo you lose isn't worth it Edit: maybe for control
It's very easy to play around every secret anyway. It's not like the fact that it's random will be insanly good. At best if your opponent only has one big minion, he might hesitate to go face into a potential Vapo. But otherwise, it's just very easy to play around them. Play a little minion and a little spell and you played around every secret.µ 4-mana slot is way too crowded in mage to put a random bad secret + a 2/2 on this slot.
We really need to get eggs as a type of cards (similar to pirate, beast etc), and then have hatch mechanics, but cannot have attack stats. Have a legendary minion, which hatches all eggs (not just friendly) on the board, and then add a copy of each egg (which was hatched) to the owners hand. Another card should give all eggs an ability, where they take one damage each turn (a count down to hatching. Cards that give eggs taunt and buff health (anti-aggro). Cards that give hatched minions bonus stats. There should a super strong legendary dragon, which as a negative lays an eggs each turn, and killing that egg deals significant damage to the legendary minion and the face of the owner, but also spawns a small dragon. And we need a hero card, which turns your hero into a dragon, and then your heropower become "lay an egg" (summon a random eggs, which hatches at the end of your opponents turn - so you can attack with the hatched minion). There could be so much amazing synergy between eggs and dragons as well. And then Rogue of course need an "egg snatcher" card, where they can steal the opponents eggs. Hunter and Druid could also have beast based eggs. Think about having a Hunter eggs with an angry chicken, but for each round the egg is on the board, the chicken gets +1/+1... Then when the egg is hatched you can use the "enrage" mechanic (let us just call it that although the name changes) to get a massive attack minion on the board. But you opponent can target down the egg immediately, when it is played. Eggs as a type of cards could be really amazing if they went with it imo.
Hey Kripp fans! - Does anyone know how the pity timer for legendaries works, if its "opened packs" or "obtained packs" because this event has given me a bunch of random packs and i seem short a legendary for the longest time with the packs i've been opening before i switch to another! Thanks!
Don't you guys think it is strange that Blizzard is not supporting big spell Mage considering that they introduced it last expansion with cards like Alanna? Firelands Portal is also rotating out
Shudderwock can't target itself with the baleful banker effect, it can target copies of itself spawned with saronite chain gangs effect but since it's been confirmed that shudderwocks battlecries are triggered in a random order it's going to be unreliable at best.

"Could be good, idk, well have to see"
Kripp, after Blizzard ripping off your odd/even gimmick the least they could do is honor you with a card:
Salt Elemental, 5 mana 7/4, Battlecry: Your opponent draws an answer.
Saltmancer, 4 mana 1/1, Battlecry: Gain +6/+6. Give your opponent a 'Silence' spell.
On the face of Mossy Horror
3 mana, 3/3, "50% chance that Kripp thinks it's good in Arena"
Lots of ok cards, relatively weak since it's the first expansion of the year
TL;DRino Kripperino skipthevideokripperino
My favorite new cards in this video: Baleful Banker, Vicious Scalehide, and Swamp Dragon Egg. CAUSE THEY CAN ALL BE CALLED TO ARMS!
Call to Armserino Kripperino noicd
But warlock has more removal and a better agro game so that's pointless prince Liam though will make you give up call to arms why summon them when you can turn them into random legendaries
Echo lock will make call to arms look fair
Have you ever considered calling three arms? You'd be 50% more armed

Europe - The Final Countdown
Feels like the rest of the expansions will build on Witchwood. A lot of the cards have potential and varied, but need support.
I feel like thats the point of the expansion, and I like it tbh
Lottom I'd like it more if it was say the second expansion and not the first.
main downside is that paladin and warlock will still be everywhere for a few months
JTSents89 Low Rank life and Arena XD
Oops! Playful Sprites have disrupted Rania as she was syncing the audio for this video. Please wait a few minutes for them to disperse and try re-syncing the audio.
17:50 not copies of gang, copies of itself.
:O you're right. Hot damn!!! This is gonna be lit!!
Also why playing the clunky "put into deck" thing if you have zola the gorgon? Also in wild shaman new jade druid with this - oh god
You can have both zola and "put into deck". Put in deck helps with fatigue. If you play it right you gonna fill the board with buffed ones, they always play battlecries in specific order, so if you it buffs itself and then gangs itself you gonna get like 3-4-5-whateverinfinity of 10/10s.

Evro Wave random*, it was Made clear on stream, reason being there would be too many combos making the card way beyond op (grumble + lifedrinker + chaingang alone for infinite dmg combo). Randomness will ensure combos like these won't be consistent enough to be played seriously
Evro Wave yeah heard that too, although he explained the card correctly before that mistake

Can't wait to see someone mill himself with hidden wisdom.
17:55 it actually fills the board with copies of Shudderwock not saronite chain gangs
Next week please do a "How Vegan Logic Lead me Astray" video.
29:40 Leyline Exodia Mage, it will pull a Leyline Manipulator from your deck. Thats also a pretty good combo.
i love them sneaking in the artifact weapons into the art! very nice!
Something of note for quite a few of the new beasts introduced, particularly vicious scalehide: Deathstalker Rexxar is getting his discover pool updated. Cards like that are going to be INSANE beast combine cards for him.
Hey kripp I watch your videos everyday. You're a awesome hearthstone player!
Just sitting here tapping on my preorder packs...hoping they open
A Hint: put the video in 1.25 velocity
Tito Tosta my hero
Sorry, but I watch all Kripp vids on 1.5 baseline. I guess you know what that means for this video.
That's not a hint, it's a tip.
Celestial Morning Light Thanks for the Hint!
Tito Tosta No problem 😄
hey kripp for shudderwock, the battle cry of chain gang is to produce a copy of itself so when you play shudderwock, you get more shudderwocks, not chain gang. This was also in the reveal and gameplay livestream the other day.
15:25 a lot of minions will be damaged the turn they come out with RUSH being the new thing, krip
5:03 Looking forward to the day Rania will Krippefy that card. huehuehue
in wild shudderwock is a second yogg for when your first one kills itself on the first spell
The thing with Hidden Wisdom and the "play 3 cards" trigger is that your opponent cant really play around it and stay in the game.

Kripparian here, but this time "You guys how's it go on" instead of "Hey guys how's it going"
The discover a secret of Arcane keysmith will be very strong in minion mage i feel
Oh man, that Swamp Leech is gonna be awesome to discover for Deathstalker Rexxar.
The enter emote for mad hatter better be:
“Did someone say hat!?”
You are wrong on ratcatcher, it is insane. It will be used in pretty much every warlock deck.
medi-ochre
also poisonous drakeslayer works well with betrayal
5 mana kill 2 things next to the poisonous
13:20 isn’t divine favor rotating out (hopefully)?
nope it isn't :p
no its ice block and coldlight oracle (and i think another that I have forgotten)
Feels bad
Dentally Challenged molten giant
We wish...
I love your short reviews
Some of the Beast cards look like very interesting options for Hunter DK. Like the one mana 2/1 Lifesteal
Witchwood Piper could work with exodia mage maybe
LordofSalt precisely what I was thinking. A lot easier to draw the girls.
Is Deranged Doctor a battlecry or a deathrattle!? I have seen both!
25:20 Thank god we get this card. While mage won't have Ice Block, I swear I've almost never seen a netdeck secret mage have Ice Block, and since we are losing Eater of Secrets, this is Blizzard's way of letting us once again stop secret mage (and hunter in general)
I'm really looking forward to the expansion. There's going to be some cool new decks to try - especially looking forward to playing Rogue (and maybe minion mage). Need to run silence in decks now, not looking forward to Lady Priest
Hmm with all those rushy beasts, would "bestial wrath" be any good? I really think it could haha
Sleeping on swamp leech really good with rex build a beast. Needed more than just that 4/4 lifesteal at 5 mana
Night Prowler good in big decks or satellite no?
How is Silence good against Control Warlock? None of his powerful plays require waiting a turn, except sometimes Possesed Lackey.
Do they have an odd/even filter for collection search? It would make these odd/even decks easier to design.
Yes. Even/odd search filters are being added with Witchwood.
Sandbinder can be used in Quest Rogue.
Combine Sandbinder with that card that summons 1/1 copies of elementals that you draw. Then stack your deck with elementals that have passive effects.
Ghost Light is Coldlight orcale's soul :( RIP
Sandbinder could be used in Priest for Lyra Sunshard or the Elementals that make spells cheaper for to reliably get big Lyra turns.
It could also see play in Shudderwock Shaman because it can get you Grumble Worldshaker - which is an insane Battlecry if you had Saronite Chain Gang's Battlecry trigger because you get a 1 mana Shudderwock back into your hand. Do this over and over again with a Battlecry like Lifedrinker's 3 face damage + heal and you can easily kill your opponent in the turn after you play Shudderwock.
I'd say that card is gonna see play, even if only in janky combo decks.
Imagine chameleon transforming into unstable evolution while having a Light Elemental in hand ,0
Happy new year kripp!
how does shudderwock sound in evolve? broken or good?
When whispers of the old gods and gadgetzhan rotating out evolve shaman will LOSE alot but still live for the lottos XD
huh, makes sense, oh wait evolve and junk are being removed...ouch! poor death knight thrall.
8:07 I thought it said all characters not friendly 'holy' shit
so shudderwock doesn't summon a copy of itself with saronite chaingang battlecry?
I think you're underestimating the keysmith. For basically the cost of 2 mana you get to pick a solution. If you need freezing trap or vape nation and you get it, feelsgoodman
There are some reviews and sites that say Deranged Doctors' effect is battlecry and not deathrattle...which one is it?
Elmo Kaartinen Deathrattle
Swamp Leech is my favorite Krip card review ever lmao
Could see some hilariouscombo involving shudderwock grumble and lifedrinker for super damage/heal turns especially if you can get multiple shudderwocks back into your hand from the grumble. Obviously not good but sounds super fun.
apparently is pretty good lmao
22:29 that card art
0:50 Bullshit the Witchwood has some insanely powerful cards!
Baleful banker works in a combo Woecleaver Warrior with Grom.
Prince Liam + Discover an explore ungoro = very weird interaction
Kripp's face matches the Mossy Horror perfectly.
Christian Changer king crimson pretty good
Prince Liam is the answer to YES paladin we needed...
Only 2 days to go oh boy
Wont the 2nd Shudderwock use the first shudderwocks battlecry again?
Rope god - lifecoach / ShudderWock
you can combo that curse of weakness with the epic card the switches the attack and health of the minions
so is a 6 mana AOE and you gain tempo quick sort of.
Yeah and void ripper is demon too
Memearino kripparino. Today we had a fun meme swamp leech.
Shudderwock / chain gang / grumble infinite value?
Do you think if they didnt release any shaman cards this expansion anyone would notice?
Dragon egg - "pretty good! "
Shudderwock -" I thought it was crap before someone showed me a broken combo."
Thats all you need to know about the level of Kripp analysis.

Baleful banker in valeera death knight decks is I never fatigue.That seems interesting.
Lifedrinker + Shudderwock sounds quite awesome, though !
Kibler's going to have a field day in wild with Yogg into Shudderwock.
Hey Kripp fans! - Does anyone know how the pity timer for legendaries works, if its "opened packs" or "obtained packs" because this event has given me a bunch of random packs and i seem short a legendary for the longest time with the packs i've been opening before i switch to another!
Thanks!
What will happen if u play chief inspector into a explosive rune?
29:55 when it turns out the best card of the set
Curio collector is really good with book of specter
so the banker shuffles a COPY of a minion? Like, you buff some minion really hard does it mean it keeps the buffs?
lost spirit has amazing potential in a sacrificial Warlock deck, especially with the new ratcatcher card
10:07 Someone called for the doctor?
walnut sprite is quite strong to rebuild an empty board late game imo
Don't you guys think it is strange that Blizzard is not supporting big spell Mage considering that they introduced it last expansion with cards like Alanna? Firelands Portal is also rotating out
Shudderwock can't target itself with the baleful banker effect, it can target copies of itself spawned with saronite chain gangs effect but since it's been confirmed that shudderwocks battlecries are triggered in a random order it's going to be unreliable at best.
Sandbinder for Lyra?
Feeling a quartz elemental + equality lethal highlight coming
Can someone tell me why Kripp is evaluating cards for standard? Didn't he say he would play wild this expansion as requested?
odd feeling the 4 mana 6/6 will see play in an aggro deck as an anti board clear card
16:00 I see you...ZAP!
"We're gunna be rich!"
Bring on the Dustwood baby!!
2 of Witchwood Piper will slow down combo draw only by 1 turn, so It's should be not too bad.
