New cards from the Un’Goro expansion for Hearthstone have been revealed. There are some minions with crazy stats.
Next month, the new expansion of Hearthstone will be released. “Journey to Un’Goro” contains over 130 new cards that will be introduced in the weeks leading up to the release. Last weekend, there was another handful of new cards whose effects are impressive.
Priests get an inexpensive elemental with 1/1 stats for only 1 mana, which copies a card from the opponent’s deck to the player’s hand upon death – the Crystalline Oracle.
If you like elementals, you will be happy with Fire Fly. For just 1 mana, you get a 1/2 minion that also brings another 1/2 minion to the player’s hand.
The Stone Sentinel benefits from this, a 4/4 Shaman card for 7 mana. The Battlecry summons two additional 2/3 elementals with Taunt if you played at least one elemental in the previous turn.
New spells are available for Mages and Priests.
Mages get Flame Geyser for 2 mana, which deals 2 damage to a chosen target and additionally gives the Mage a 1/2 elemental in hand (which costs 1 mana).
Priests gain more control over their deck with Shadow Visions. For 2 mana, they receive a Discover effect that copies a spell from their own deck. This allows them to effectively bypass the limit of “2 cards per deck”.
A total of 3 new legendary minions have been presented.
Warlocks get Clutchmother Zavas. The winged beetle lady costs 2 mana for 2/2 stats. The catch: Every time you would discard her, you get her back in hand and she becomes stronger by +2/+2!
Paladins grab Sunkeeper Tarim for 6 mana. With stats of 3/7 and Taunt, he seems unassuming, but his Battlecry sets the health and attack of all other minions to 3.
Finally, Ozruk awaits, a legendary neutral elemental for 9 mana. Normally, he only has stats of 5/5 and Taunt, but he gains +5 health for each elemental you played in the last turn. This makes Ozruk potentially one of the strongest tanks in the game, as he can, when played wisely, have 30 or even 40 health points.
What do you think about the new cards and the elemental mechanic?
