New cards for Hearthstone have been revealed. The crazy Dr. Boom is bringing another huge dose of RNG, but has great effects!
The next Hearthstone expansion, Dr. Boom’s Lab, will be released on August 7, 2018. Blizzard is already releasing new cards day by day so that players can prepare for new decks. Recently, some new highlights have been introduced that we want to show you here, including the main attraction of the expansion: the mad genius Dr. Boom.
Priests receive the new minion Sinister Researcher. For 5 mana, it has solid stats of 4/6 and a devastating effect. All of the player’s minions with Deathrattle cost 3 less mana. However, they die at the end of the turn. This can trigger great effects and hatch dinosaur eggs for 0 mana.
As a neutral minion, there is the Weaponized Pita. It costs 4 mana, only has stats of 4/3, but has an exciting Deathrattle: the player gets a random legendary minion in hand.
Warlocks receive the Omega Agent. A minion for 5 mana with stats of 4/5. If you already have 10 mana crystals when playing the Agent, it summons two more copies of itself. This equals stats of 12/15 for 5 mana. Insane.
Rogues can once again clone a lot of minions. The Labor Recruiter is a 3/2 minion for 2 mana, which as a Battlecry shuffles 3 copies of a friendly minion into your own deck.
Paladins can look forward to the legendary spell Kangor’s Endless Army. For 7 mana, this card summons 3 friendly mechs that died in this round. They retain their magnetic upgrades.
The true boss is, however, Mad Genius Dr. Boom, a new hero card for the Warrior. It costs 7 mana and gives the Warrior 7 armor. As an additional effect, all of the Warrior’s mechs have Charge for the rest of the game. A lot of RNG awaits in Dr. Boom’s hero power, as it turns into “Big Red Button”. This changes every turn, already on the opponent’s turn. There are 5 different effects for 2 mana:
- Micro-Squad: Summons 3 1/1 Microbots.
- Zap Cannon: Deals 3 damage to a target.
- Delivery Drone: Discover a Mech.
- Blast Shield: Gain 7 armor.
- KABOOM! Deals 1 damage to all enemies.
What do you think of Dr. Boom and the other new cards? Cool innovations or just too crazy?
