There are fresh cards for HearthStone! Check out the latest cards from The Grand Tournament that have been presented in recent days.
New Hero Powers for Everyone
As is now customary with new expansions for HearthStone, the new cards are gradually revealed in the weeks leading up to the release. This time, they are not taking long with the “small” innovations, but are directly releasing some major updates that are coming our way in August. But take a look at the new additions from “The Grand Tournament” yourself.
Justicar Trueheart is relatively weak with a mana cost of 6 and stats of 6/3, but permanently replaces the hero power with a better one. Generally, one can say: The effect of the hero power is doubled. Mages deal 2 damage, Paladins summon 2 recruits, Druids gain 2 armor/attack, and Rogues get a 2/2 dagger. Warlocks can draw a card without life energy costs, and Shamans can choose their summoned totem.
The Most Powerful Warlock in the World and Other Stories
Wilfred Fizzlebang is a new Warlock card for 6 mana, with stats of 4/4. The horrific effect: All cards drawn by “Bloodletting” cost 0 mana! If you don’t quickly remove this minion from the game, Jaraxxus could suddenly come crashing down on you …
The Poisoned Blade is a new Rogue weapon. With a mana cost of 4 and only 3 durability and 1 attack, it is exceptionally weak. However, the effect ensures that the Rogue’s hero ability grants the weapon +1 attack. Together with weapon oils and poisons, things can escalate very quickly.
The Priest card Sacred Warrior gains +2 attack power each time a character is healed – regardless of whether friend or foe. Combinations with Circle of Healing could quickly make it an almost unstoppable force.
The King’s Defender is a weapon for Warriors, boasting 3 attack and 2 durability, but gains +1 durability for each taunt minion on the board. Essentially, a fiery war axe on steroids.
The North Sea Kraken will be a new neutral minion for a proud 9 mana, with acceptable stats of 9/7. As a battlecry, it deals 4 damage to a target, thus being able to precisely eliminate small to medium minions.
With the addon, a lot of cards are coming our way that will shake up the meta and bring new, exciting decks. Which card appeals to you the most at the moment?
