New highlights of the upcoming Hearthstone expansion “The Witchwood” have been revealed. We show you legendary cards for Mages and Druids!
The next expansion of Hearthstone will be released in just a few weeks. The Witchwood comes with 135 new cards that will shake up the meta significantly. Fans already believe that deck-building will be more fun than ever before. The new cards continue this trend – fun and quirky combinations are clearly in focus.
Druids can look forward to a new version of Aviana. The Duskbringer Aviana is a legendary minion for 5 mana with stats of 3/7. As an effect, it reduces the cost of the first minion played each turn to 0. This effect applies to both players.
Also for Druids is the legendary minion Splitterbark. For 8 mana, it has decent stats of 8/8 and an interesting Battlecry. The player chooses a friendly minion and gets a copy of it added to their hand, which however has the stats of 10/10 and costs 10 mana. The perfect opportunity to finally create a truly monstrous Wisp!
Hunters are gifted a powerful spell. Dark Frenzy costs 4 mana and grants a chosen beast stats of +3/+3. Additionally, 3 copies of this minion are shuffled into the deck, which also receive +3/+3.
Combo Cards for Warlocks
Three new cards of the Warlock have also been revealed.
The first is the minion Blood Witch. For 4 mana, she has solid stats of 3/6 and, in addition, the effect that she deals 1 point of damage to her own hero at the start of the turn. This initially sounds like a clear disadvantage, but can be well combined with the other new cards.
The Nightsucker is a beast with stats of 2/4. As a Battlecry, it also summons two bats with stats of 1/1, if the hero has taken damage this turn.
Similarly, the Deathweb Tarantula works. It is a beast with stats of 4/6 for 5 mana and gains Lifesteal as a Battlecry if its hero has taken damage this turn.
A neutral legendary minion is Puppet Master Dorian with an unprecedented effect. For 5 mana, he has stats of 2/6, which at least promises him some sturdiness. His effect ensures that he summons a 1/1 copy of a minion every time you draw a minion – the drawn minion does not need to be played itself.
In line with the Puppet Master, the neutral minion Voodoo Doll awaits. For 3 mana, this epic minion has only stats of 1/1, but possesses an interesting effect. As a Battlecry, you choose a minion. The Deathrattle of the Voodoo Doll then causes the chosen minion to be destroyed. Especially as a Mage, it is easy to eliminate a large foe cost-effectively.
Speaking of Mages: They will receive Time Weaver Toki. For 6 mana, she has a body of 5/5 and grants the player, through Battlecry, a random legendary minion “from the past.” Past, in this case, means a minion from former card sets that are only allowed in Wild mode. So Mages have a lot of (quirky) RNG again – if they want that in their deck.
