The new game mode “Cards Chaos”, which will expand HearthStone in the next few days, brings some fresh cards into play. They are probably not going to be available in regular matches, but they are worth a look.
Dragons, Bombs, and a Big Giant
At first glance, it’s clear that the new cards will shake up the usual rules of Hearthstone a bit. They are overpowered but will likely lead to exciting and unusual matches – and that in the new mode Cards Chaos. These cards are currently not in the game but were discovered by data miners in the latest patch.
One example is the dragon Vaelastrasz, which boasts impressive stats of 7/7 for 6 mana and reduces the cost of all cards of the owner by 3. If you don’t remove this fiery colleague from the board within a turn or silence him, a quick defeat is imminent. Essentially, an Emperor Thaurissan on steroids.
The living bomb also promises to be an exciting mechanic. For 3 mana, an opponent’s minion is “cursed” and explodes in the next turn for 5 damage to ALL enemies. The owner of the cursed minion has to get rid of it quickly and send it to its death in a kamikaze manner. It’s unfortunate that this is not an official Mage card…
The new giant Golemagg resembles the molten giants more than just a little. No wonder, as he is actually their boss. The 20/20 creature costs a whopping 50 mana, but gets cheaper for every point of damage the player’s hero has taken. Under normal circumstances, the giant can hardly be played – unless the player heroes suddenly have more than 30 health points.
A new weapon, the legendary hand of Ragnaros, Sulfuras, will appear in Cards Chaos. When its durability runs out, the hero power deals 8 damage to a random enemy. By the way, 6 hits with 2 damage for only 2 mana are also not to be despised.
The current patch has also introduced more cards into the game, such as a spell for 0 mana that grants the player 100 armor. It is currently assumed that these cards are only used for internal testing purposes. The developers have also created cards that can now be seen in the credits – these, of course, cannot be used in regular play either.
