Cursed Castaway is sort of like Starfire, and I want to use Lady in White so bad, imagine the shenanigans.

[👀 REP 👀]

 

wew thats a strong one

[Shradow]

That's cool. You can glean so much information about what your opponent has in their hand if you decide to hold onto this for awhile. Holy anti-control, Batman!

[Flame Dragon]

Castway seems like too much mana for Rouge to want it.

 

Lady seems like she can be very powerful. I like that it is an Inner Fire style card that doesn't play well with the combo too.

 

Chameleos seems really strong just from the information you get from it. Though I see it being really annoying to play with since I imagine writing down everything it becomes is the optimal line for it.

[👀 REP 👀]

 

hunter bois. duskhaven seems like pack filler and not all that good, toxmonger is interesting to say the least (it's confirmed that it works with Elvin Archer, if that's your cup of tea). maybe it'll work in quest hunter? shame that it says play and not summon though.

[Shradow]

Any other clever synergies with Toxmonger other than Elven Archer and Stonetusk Boar? I can't think of any right now for Standard. It's a shame Fiery Bat's rotating out.

[👀 REP 👀]

Fire Elemental sort of in the sense that you get 2 1/2 poisonous minions which is cool. argent squire is cool too. sadly tentacle of n'zoth is also rotating out, otherwise it'd be a 1 mana board wipe.

[Kazooie]

If you want to get really weird, maybe some Feral Gibberer Toxmonger Quest Deck. :P

[spoiler=New Cards]

 

 

 

Today's new cards that I've seen so far...

 

I really like the Grizzly. It's a great anti-aggro tool and even if it loses a few points of health, I think it's still got some decent potential in the long run.

 

I dunno if it'll see a ton of play, but I think this might be a decent card for playing against aggro Paladin if it sticks around after the rotation, even if they have Divine Favor.

 

Witching Hour I'm a little less excited for, but... There might be something you can do with it? Taunt Druid with Hydronox so you have a chance to bring back the Hydronox if you're a memey player, but I'm not really sure if it'll be alright enough to run. I might mess around with it at least a little bit, since revive effects can be fun to play with.

[Flame Dragon]

Grizzly seems really solid. Even at -5 it has more health than most 5 mana taunts I can think of. Sadly as a taunt warrior player more expensive taunts are not what I'm looking for. Though it would work with a tank up build of the deck.

 

Witching Hour seems like it can be really strong in a big beast style deck. However that is a Druid card and not a Hunter card so I'm not sure how well Druid can pull that style of deck off.

[Shradow]

New Paladin epic:

I think it's pretty cool if they're bringing back Dragon Pally. It didn't have enough support last time, with pretty much Dragon Consort being the only good card of the archtype, but if part of the new support for the archtype is stuff like Shielded Minibot 2.0 and some good Pally dragons, I could see it working.

[Flame Dragon]

I'm really curious whats going to happen with the Dragon deck. Historian was kind of the backbone of the deck and losing it makes that style of deck a lot harder. Cool card in wild though.

[Shradow]

New Warrior cards:

Woodcutter's Axe seems ok, though it could work well with Militia Commander but might not have the right timing for Darius Crowley. Deadly Arsenal is a bit more interesting since it's like a weapon version of Dragon's Fury.

[Flame Dragon]

Arsenal only seems good with Gorehowl. Outside of that and Reaper (which I don't think is good in control?) the damage you get from this is really low.

 

Axe is dependent on how good the Rush minions end up being. Though a 2/2 weapon for 2 might be playable on its own.

[Shradow]

Pretty fun April Fool's joke: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/21671837/mrlgrl-it-s-time-to-welcome-nerglish-players-to-the-inn

[Shradow]

New Druid Legendary:

I guess it's kinda like Temporus? I don't think it'll be very popular, you can potentially give your opponent so much power before you can make use of it.

[Flame Dragon]

The good old curse of symmetrical effects that the opponent gets first. She is pretty durable so should can easily live through the opponents turn, but them getting first crack is never a good sign. At least she is interesting.

[Shradow]

New neutral epic:

Wow, they're really going for Shaman spell RNG if they're even making it available to other classes. Seems like a meme value card at best, getting something like Bloodlust in an aggro deck would be pretty funny. I wonder if it could see any play in Dude Paladin decks.

[👀 REP 👀]

guess its another expansion of shaman being trash

worst part is that shaman will probably get over buffed next expansion

druid legend is interesting, and is honestly not that bad against aggro decks, especially due to its stats

I think both of the warrior cards are a bit weak, although woodcutters might be good in some tempo rush deck, which is what I think they're pushing for warrior. deadly arsenal I think sucks because Blood Razor is a good card in control warrior and I don't think it'll be worth not running it to put it in, but that'll depend if we get a good weapon for control in this expansion

[Shradow]

I'm really excited for DK Rexxar next expansion. They weren't originally planning on adding future expansion beasts into Build-A-Beast, so K&C cards currently aren't in the pool, but when WW hits both K&C and WW beasts will be available. For example, Cave Hydra could make for a great additions. It's a shame Witchwood Grizzly has both a Keyword and other text, so it'll most likely be excluded from the pool like King of Beasts.

[👀 REP 👀]

 

1 mana deal 4 seems pretty good. Might not always be able to set it up so that it actually is a 1 mana deal 4, but usually I think you''ll be able too.

[Dokutah]

[Rodrigo]

Rat Trap is so much fun, I wanna pull it to try it out.

 

Seems like control hunter might actually be a thing.

[Shradow]

I like Rat Trap. A potential counter to Echo cards, and with a lot of decks, once you've played 3 cards you might not have enough mana to play something to immediately deal with the 6/6. Good against aggro as well. It's mere existence means it'll always be in the back of your head when a Hunter plays a secret, and you might try and play around it even if it's not what the secret is.

 

If Control Hunter does become a thing I'll be super happy. It just needs some good card draw.

[Flame Dragon]

Holy Water is cute, but isn't good.

 

Trap seems like it can be really powerful. GOGO Spell Hunter.

[Shradow]

Oh, I somehow missed Wing Blast. That's a great card, it can even work with the new Hunting Mastiff. 3 mana deal 6 damage, either all 6 on a single minion or split 2 and 4 on different targets.
