In the today’s reveal of new Hearthstone content, there are 4 fresh class cards to check out that are coming with “The Grand Tournament“.
The Big Class Reunion
Mages receive a new spell called Flame Lance. For 5 Mana, it deals 8 damage to a minion. At first glance, this card seems significantly worse than a Fireball, but it could prove useful as a counter for certain decks, such as Handlock decks.
Druids get a new minion, the Darnassus Aspirant. For 2 Mana, the night elf lady has solid stats of 2/3, but her card text is especially important. The Battlecry states: “Gain a vacant Mana Crystal.” Her Deathrattle negates this effect: “Destroy one of your Mana Crystals”. This card becomes really strong when you manage to apply Silence to it in time – something that can be done in the next turn with a Druid of the Claw.
For Warlocks, the demon selection expands with the new Wrathguard. It costs only 2 Mana and has massive stats of 4/3, but the card text reads: “Whenever this minion takes damage, your hero also takes that much damage.” In rush decks, this card could pay off, otherwise, it presents a considerable risk – especially strong spells against minions could take effect here.
The Shado-Pan Cavalry is a new rogue minion, with acceptable stats of 3/7 for 5 Mana, but it becomes really strong when its “Combo” text comes into play, then it gains +3 Attack and turns into a true 6/7 monster.
What do you think of the new cards? Are they just niche fillers or must-have cards in every deck?
