The new cards from the Hearthstone expansion “Knights of the Frozen Throne” are impressive. Priests can copy an entire deck!
Gradually, more and more cards from the upcoming expansion “Knights of the Frozen Throne” for Hearthstone are revealed. Among the latest cards, there are some major highlights!
Priests get the Twilight Father as a new minion – better known as Archbishop Benedictus. It costs 7 mana and has stats of 4/6 along with a quite powerful Battlecry: Mix a copy of your opponent’s deck into your own!
Also for Priests, there is a powerful new form of mind control. For 6 mana, they can cast the spell Embrace Darkness on an opposing minion. At the start of the Priest’s next turn, you gain control of that minion, provided it is still alive by then.
Dragon fans get the Cobalt Scalebane, a solid minion for 5 mana with stats of 5/5. At the end of your turn, the dragon gives another friendly minion +3 attack.
For Druids, there is a new Nerubian, the Crypt Lord. For 3 mana, it comes with Taunt and solid 1/6 stats. Every time you summon another minion, it gains +1 health.
A new neutral pirate is the Phantom Freebooter. For 4 mana, it only has weak 3/3 stats, but its Battlecry makes up for it. Because it adds the stats of the player’s weapon to its own (With a 3/2 axe, it gains +3/2).
Warlocks have obviously developed a fetish for vampires. Because they receive the card Gnomeferatu – a 2/3 minion with a Battlecry: Removes the top card from your opponent’s deck. This makes it the first card in the game that actively allows you to take a card from your opponent.
The Meat Wagon is an interesting new card that relies on buffs to really be effective. For 4 mana, it has stats of 1/4 and a death rattles effect: Summons a minion from your deck that has less attack than this minion.
Not in the mood for the Mage’s “Ping” or the Hunter’s shot? The neutral minion Mindbreaker provides relief! For 3 mana, it not only has impressive stats of 2/5, but also an additional effect: Hero powers are disabled. Just based on the stats, it should be an “Instant Pick” in many decks.
For Warriors, there is the Val’kyr Soulclaimer. This 3 mana minion comes with weak stats of 1/4 but summons a 2/2 Ghoul every time it takes damage and does not die.
What do you think of these new cards? Are there cool innovations, or is it “too much RNG” for you?
By the way, Jaina is going to become a life-steal elemental monster!
