Medivh appears as a Hearthstone card in Karazhan and brings his staff. Additionally, there is a demon that carries many legendary minions.
The Staff of the Last Guardian
Next week, the next expansion for Hearthstone “A Night in Karazhan” will be released. Blizzard releases new cards every day, which can be unlocked throughout the 4 wings of the expansion. Today we take a look at the latest cards, which will especially please demon and spell fans.
The Warrior awaits the new spell Protect the King! For 3 mana, the Warrior summons a 1/1 minion with Taunt for each enemy minion on the board. This should provide a small life insurance, especially against Rush decks.
The Warlock receives the Silverware Golem, which makes use of the discard mechanic. It is a 3/3 minion for 3 mana that is also played when it would normally be discarded.
The neutral minion Zoobot is waiting, also for 3 mana with stats of 3/3. The battle cry is interesting, as it gives a friendly random beast, dragon, and Murloc +1/+1. In the best case, that means a 6/6 effect for only 3 mana!
The neutral demon Prince Malchezaar has caused quite a stir in the community. With stats of 5/6 for 6 mana, he is already relatively solid, but his effect is hotly debated. When the game begins, he adds 5 additional, random legendary minions to your own deck!
It is important to note that the extra cards are created only after drawing – so you cannot have them in your starting hand. Additionally, Malchezaar cannot create additional copies. If you have a Ragnaros in your deck, Malchezaar will not generate another one. Legendary cards from other classes are also off-limits.
Finally, Medivh, the Guardian has been revealed. A legendary minion with stats of 7/7 for 8 mana is rather weak, but his battle cry makes him a desirable card: “Summon Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.” Atiesh itself is a weapon with 1/3 and the effect: “After you cast a spell, summon a random minion with the same cost. Then lose 1 durability.”
What do you think of these cards? Useful or just a gimmick for fun decks?
