The next batch of new cards for “Goblins vs Gnomes”, the first major expansion to Blizzard’s Hearthstone, has been revealed.
Every day, the current some pages are getting new cards introduced. In recent days, eight new ones have been announced, which we will be able to draw from the “Goblins vs Gnomes” pack coming in December (which will, by the way, be just as cheap or expensive as the current card packs).
This time, there are again several class cards included in the batch.
Paladin gets 3 new class cards
The 3-mana “spell” Muster for Battle summons three 1/1 minions and gives the Paladin a 1/4 weapon, which fits perfectly with the typical Paladin style and could bring quite some tempo.
Coghammer is a new 3-mana weapon with 2/3 stats for the Paladin and gives a randomly chosen minion both Taunt and Divine Shield.
And it really hits hard with the last class card. The 5-mana minion “Cobalt Guardian” has stats of 6/3 but is not as fragile as the numbers suggest, as it gains a Divine Shield with each new summoned Mech.
Druid, Rogue, Hunter each with one class card
The Druid gets an unusual minion for 6 mana, a naturally tuned 6/7 Mech that gives the Druid a Spare Part every time it takes damage, these are the little buff cards, 1-mana spells. There are 7 different ones: +1 Attack, +1 Health, Taunt, return to hand, Freeze, swap Health/Attack, and Stealth for one turn.
For the Hunter, Mech cards wouldn’t fit as little as they would for the Druid. He receives a new 2-mana spell: It allows him to draw a card. If it’s a Beast, it costs 4 mana less.
For Rogue Mech decks, the class card “Iron Sensei” will likely become standard. For 3 mana, you get a 2/2 minion that buffs a friendly Mech with +2/+2 at the end of the turn.
Toshley and the Antique Healbot
Two minion cards for everyone have also been introduced. One is the legendary Toshley, a 6-mana minion with 5/7 stats, who provides the player with a Spare Part upon both entering and leaving the battlefield.
The Antique Healbot is the last of the eight fresh cards for Hearthstone. For 5 mana, you get a 3/3 creature that can heal for 8 damage with its Battlecry.
